Undercover CEO

SPECIAL CHAPTER-1 (Junhui and Minghao)

*(I was highly inspired to write these special chapter by the song---MY I)*

'Check mate!' Junhui announced four times in a row.

'Aarghh~ You are so good at this', Minghao whined, stretching his hands in the air as they both sat opposite of each other with a chessboard in the middle of a wooden table.

'I'm not good, how come you're so bad at this', Junhui laughed out.

Minghao smiled at him, what would've happened to him if he didn't meet Junhui in highschool? Would he be the same? Could Junhui change himself.....
 
Minghao let the questions be hung in the air, as he recalled his highschool days.

*Flashback*

Minghao's POV:

It was the middle of the term when a chinese boy, named Wen Junhui joined the school which I had been going since the start of the term. Being the typical me, I never could bring myself to talk to anyone, talk to him...even though we shared the same mother tongue.

I usually used to see him, getting bullied by almost everyone in our class because of the immature accent of his korean, still I was no different from those bastards as I also...couldn't defend him.

Seeing him on the stairways sitting alone in one corner with his face buried in his knees, made my heart hurt. Seeing him being bullied for money every lunch break was intolerable...

Scars from the fighting he lost, swelled up his hands and cheeks...still at that time...if I wished I could do something but nothing in me worked their way out to help him....

One day,
I was passing down the bridge of the city lake to head towards home after evening lessons. The sky was painted navy. As I passed the river, I, suddenly noticed a black reflection of a figure on the glistening water.

I, immediately looked up at the bridge and saw a familiar face which was faintly visible due to the street lights. The reflection I saw belonged to Wen Junhui, he was standing on the railings of the bridge, ready to jump-

I pushed back my terror and ran towards the top of the bridge.

As he was about to let go, I grabbed him by the waist and pulled him back and we both stumbled upon the stony surface of the bridge.

I got up and held a hand out to him.

He looked at me, his face was covered with faint marks of bruises.

I thought of not making him uncomfortable by questioning what he was doing, I said, ' I'm Xu Minghao, call me Minghao. We are in the same class-'

'Why? Why did you stop me?', Junhui asked, suddenly tears bursted out of his eyes.

'I-I don't understand-'

'Why did you save me?', he again asked, his voice shaking and body shivering.
