touch (meanie)

5.

mingyu was home over analyzing how to approach wonwoo without making him uncomfortable, he figured out that if he found what the older didn't like about him, he could avoid doing it when he was around him

but it was hard, he tried thinking but he really didn't have any toxic behaviors, was it maybe that he was too clumsy? or was it that he was the opposite of shy and approached people without any fear? in that case, he would try to act normal

he really needed to get wonwoo to help him, or else he wouldn't be able to see his friends at school anymore and that would suck

the next morning, mingyu remembered he had english with wonwoo so he smiled "i'll just ask him in class, it's less probable he avoids me in a classroom" he thought to himself

when he went inside his english class, he greeted the teacher as usual, just because he was effortlessly polite, and then sat down

when the class started, the teacher told them they could do a speaking activity with a friend or do an essay in their notebook

mingyu grinned, it was the perfect opportunity, wonwoo usually did those kinds of activities alone since he was shy, but this time, he would approach him

he stood up from his seat and walked over to the free one next to the older, he sat down and wonwoo immediately reacted and slightly moved away which made mingyu mentally frown

"hello, do work you want us? uhh together?" mingyu said with his broken english, he wasn't very good at english either, but he usually got good grades since it was easy

he swore he saw wonwoo suppress a smile for just a tiny second but he couldn't tell since he was now expressionless as always when he was around

"sorry i- i prefer to work alone" wonwoo said in korean with a serious expression but sounded slightly guilty

mingyu sighed "i'm sorry, i'll leave you alone, it's just that i actually approached you for a different reason, i need to get an 89 on my biology test or i'll lose my scholarship and i can't afford this school without it, could you please help me?" he asked with a begging tone

"don't worry, i'll help you tomorrow" wonwoo said coldly and looked away to start working on his essay

mingyu smiled in victory "thank you so much, it really means a lot to me, when would we start the tut-" the teacher interrupted him

"mingyu, if you're not going to work with wonwoo, please go back to your seat and do your job" she said

"sorry teacher" he said in english and then went back to his seat, it sucked that wonwoo couldn't answer his question, but he didn't want to annoy him by approaching him again later to ask him, he would just wait for the other to tell him when he could tutor him

he sat on his seat and exhaled happily, if he was lucky, he would keep his scholarship, he had heard that wonwoo was very good at tutoring

when the class was over, he ran to the rooftop and waited for his friends to arrive while taking a nap

a few minutes later, seungcheol woke him up "hey, you tired?" he asked and chuckled

"always" mingyu yawned and rubbed his eyes before remembering the good news "guess what" he said excitedly, but before his friends could guess, he continued "wonwoo agreed on helping me" he grinned

"told you" seungkwan said unbothered

"when is he tutoring you?" hansol asked making mingyu shrug with a guilty expression

"don't tell me you forgot to ask him" seungkwan said and then started laughing which made mingyu whine

"i did ask him, but before he could answer, the teacher scolded me so i couldn't get to hear his answer and i didn't want to approach him again in case he got annoyed" he pouted

"what are you going to do then?" seungcheol asked with a smile trying not laugh at his clumsiness

"i'll just wait for him to tell me" mingyu said as if it was easy and received a couple of groans from his friends making him confused

"mingyu, isn't it clear that he's shy? how could you think he can approach you?" seungkwan scolded him

mingyu pouted "i don't know- i guess i- ugh, i don't know, what should i do?" he asked worriedly

"go talk to him again, don't be scared of him, if he doesn't help you then it's not the end of the world, hansol said he can help you anyway" seungcheol said

"i guess talking to him one more time wouldn't hurt" mingyu scratched the back of his neck unconvinced
