Jisung

"No! No!" I dropped to my knees, hugging myself.

"Jisung—I-I-promise! I'm just as shocked as you are!" Minho dropped down next to me, placing a gentle hand on my back.

"No! No! No!" I swatted his hand away.

I could only shout that word.

That's it.

My mind was shutting down.

I may be acting a little dramatic but. . . how is this possible?

He's like two different people. . .

"Jisung—uh—I'll prove it to you!" He stammered.

He was desperate to get me to stop crying, that's for sure.

"P-Prove it!" I hiccuped.

Minho scrambled for his phone, showing me something in the message bar.

It was a face.

' 8D '

I choked out a laugh.

"I hate that face." I mumbled.

"I know you do." He placed a hand in my hair. "Please, look at me. Hannie."

I flinched, but a big smile began tugging at the corners of my mouth.

"My nickname." I smiled, looking up at him.

He nodded.

"So I guess M is short for Minho?" I tilted my head in question.

"Yeah." He chuckled.

"Pretty lame. Mine was better." I laughed quietly, sniffing.

Minho stiffened, lifting my chin.

"Please don't cry." He smiled softly, wiping my tears. "I'm here now. You could tell me what happened if you want."

I stiffened a little.

"But, what about you? You where crying too." I noticed his swollen eyes and red nose.

"Don't worry about me. You sounded like you needed my help more. So I'm here."

I caved, sighing.

"It's a bit awkward now actually." I rubbed my eyes.

"How so?" He sat down correctly, his feet inches away from mine.

"It's about hyunjin." I whispered.

Minho noticeably tensed.

"Remember how he told me he liked me? Yesterday?" I asked, fiddling with my tie.

"Yes." Minho grumbled.

"He talked to me this morning." I started. "And he said I smelled like vanilla. He kept talking about someone."

I heard Minho's breath hitch.

I took a second to think about it.

Vanilla.

Vanilla.

I gasped, sitting up.

"No, he wasn't talking about just anyone. He was talking about you." I looked Minho dead in the eyes. "He said you marked me!"
