touch (meanie)

8.

the next day started off with a very pretty morning, mingyu took a deep breath enjoying the cold weather that he loved and then entered his school

the hallway was full with people talking or getting ready for their classes, the school had two floors so he usually avoided getting there early because it was very crowded and although he loved social interaction, big crowds made him feel awkward

but that day, he decided to get there earlier than usual, his mission was to find wonwoo before classes started because he didn't share any classes with him that day and finding him at one of their breaks would be very hard since he had no idea where he spent his breaks

he walked through the people trying to see if he could spot him somewhere, but after a few minutes he checked the clock and realized there were just 7 minutes left for him to get to his classroom for first period

he bit his lip in frustration and was about to give up when he finally spotted him talking with a friend making him feel something weird in his chest

wonwoo was laughing, that was the first time he had even seen him smile and seeing him laugh was weird, however, he ignored his little surprise and just approached them

the friend that wonwoo was talking to which he now recognized as minghao from his algebra class turned to see him and pressed his lips together with his eyes widening slightly

minghao patted wonwoo's shoulder and looked discretely at mingyu as if it was a signal that he was coming

"weird" the taller thought

wonwoo raised an eyebrow and turned to see where minghao had just pointed to with his eyes and immediately became expressionless as he gulped

"hey guys" mingyu grinned and looked at them happily "nice weather today, huh?" he asked to be polite

minghao nodded nervously and seemed like he was trying not to smile too much which was freaking the taller out a little

mingyu turned to see wonwoo which made him flinch and step back "it's here" the older said coldly with his deep voice and grabbed his backpack from the floor

he opened it and took out a paper that was carefully lined with a clear cover and had the coolest letter style he had ever seen, it was very colorful and looked like it's elaboration had taken hours of careful writing and decorating so it could end up as pretty as it looked

wonwoo carefully put the paper on the floor and stepped back which made mingyu furrow his eyebrows "does he hate me that much that the simple idea of physical contact with me is unbearable?" he asked himself

he grabbed the paper from the floor and tried to hide he was extremely impressed with it, how could someone make a paper look so good?

"oh- i thought you were going to tutor me" mingyu chuckled "are you sure you want to give me this? it looks very pretty and i don't to ruin it with my clumsy hands" he giggled

"i don't care, i don't need it" wonwoo said as he grabbed his backpack "we have to leave, it's already 7:00am" he said and left quickly with minghao who just smiled at him politely

"oh shit" mingyu said out loud and started walking at a fast pace towards his classroom because running was prohibited, but there was a five minutes tolerance

when he got there, thankfully the teacher wasn't even there yet so he sighed in relief as he sat down in his seat and looked at the paper that wonwoo had just given him

he had expected the older to tutor him personally, but the paper made sense since he was sure wonwoo hated him

he didn't really know him so he didn't care much if he didn't like him but still, it did make him very curious of what the reason of him hating him could be

he always tried to be very nice to people because that's how he liked to be treated, plus, his personality was already very naturally bright, maybe he was a little clumsy and naive sometimes, but he was also human

he had to admit his self-esteem wasn't the best but that was normal and he knew it, however, he always strived to be a better person every single day

he realized he was spacing out so he started paying attention on what his teacher was saying, he couldn't risk any more bad grades
