Disconnect || Lee Minhyuk

Jung Soo Yi

i sat in class quietly, thinking about the things minhyuk and i chatted about last night. i was feeling troubled because i didn't exactly know how to portray innocent yet sexy which minhyuk had told me about.

last night when i went home after spending time with jooheon, he started discussing to me about shownu's ideal type of girl.

i started scanning my eyes across the room thinking who among our classmates would fit such description. i still didn't exactly know how to do innocent and sexy in one. i thought they were contradictory, or maybe it was just me who sucked at being both in the first place anyway.

"okay class, you may have your recess!" the teacher spoke.

i sat still on my chair, watching shownu who was finishing up his seatwork which was given to us as a homework instead.

shownu was being diligent as usual.

"sooyi! let's go!" yujin suddenly came rushing in my classroom while calling my name.

i looked up and saw yujin smiling brightly at me as if she was the sun.

"there's a new stall that opened in our cafeteria! they have lots of chocolate snacks!" she held my arm and pulled me quick.

"w-wait yujin-ah, i have my own recess here." i told her.

"really? but it probably can't be as good as the chocolate sn--"

"here." i opened my bag and brought out my tupperware of mixed fruits which i sliced this morning.

"whaaat? fruits?!" yujin widened her eyes at me in disbelief.

i opened the tupperware and took a piece to eat. i already knew why yujin was bewildered that i brought fruits for the first time. we both always ate sweets when it came to recess. if not sweets, then it would usually be fried food.

"yah! who told you to go on a diet! you have the right weight already, did anyone make fun of your body?!" yujin eagerly asked, thinking i was negatively impacted to be eating fruits at this moment.

"shh, keep your voice low. shownu is doing his work." i whispered.

"i'm not on a diet and no one hurt me, yujin-ah. i'm just into taking care of myself recently. do you wanna share? these are good for you." i offered.

right. minhyuk also added that shownu likes a girl who knew how to take care of herself well. this was why i was also trying to let shownu know i'm into a healthy diet recently.

or more like just today.

"girl, since when is 'recently'? i can't believe this." she facepalmed herself.

"anyway, if you don't wanna go, i'll hang out with you lunch time instead. i'm getting hungry and i really wanna try the churros topped with white and milk chocolate syrup." she emphasized her last line, trying to tempt me to go with her for the last time.

"okay, bye!" i smiled at her and took another piece of apple to eat.

i honestly also wanted to go and see the new stall, but shownu was with me in the classroom along with a few others already.

clearly, i have my priorities straight. lol.

as soon as yujin left, i let out a deep sigh. next up on the list was the fact that shownu likes a girl who is generous to him.

i slowly stood up from my chair and walked around some of my classmates so that it wasn't obvious. we all knew eating in the classroom wasn't allowed, but no one followed that rule anyway.
