Get Closer (Minhee & Jungmo)

Part 10

I walked out of the building with a sigh. Another day of school, another day of embarrassing myself.

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna hide in my covers forever and die.

But then again I won't be able to protect Hyeongjun from literally everyone, and that would be a problem. That kid wouldn't survive without me.

I silently slipped into my room, ready to lay on my bed and do nothing.

Until I remember about that tutoring lesson.

I then started to freak out, I hadn't cleaned the place or anything! In fact, I don't even know why I was asked to do this, why couldn't they just ask Minhee? I'm the one who needs tutoring!

I then groaned, and immediately took my bag and started laying out my text books on a small coffee table. I also flipped through the pages, trying to find something useful to teach.

Then the doorbell rang, and I knew that I was doomed.

I silently got up, and walked towards the entrance feeling sweat working up in my palms. I then opened the door, and let the golden haired boy in.

We awkwardly stood there for a few seconds before I finally led him towards the coffee table.

We sat there for a little. Both of us finding ourselves opening our mouths to talk, then immediately shutting the idea down.

That was until he began to silently look down and observe the textbooks. He read over a page ever so keenly before picking the book up. Junhui flipped through the pages, while nodding every once in a while.

I felt like a child in his presence. He looked so mature, while I was there awkwardly sitting in front of the couch.

He then looked up at me with a smile, I visibly relaxed.

"I already know all this stuff." He then said.

"You do?" I asked, with relief.

Junhui just nodded. "Plus, I can tell that you weren't very prepared." He added with a small grin.

I just looked away with a nod, feeling the embarrassment taking over me.

"Well, I guess I didn't really need to come." Said Junhui with a sigh.

"Yeah, I guess not." I then replied.

"We shouldn't let this go to waste, anything you wanna talk about?" Asked Junhui while tilting his head.

"Not really, how about you?" I then replied.

"Hmm, any childhood memories worth sharing?" Asked Junhui.

"Hmm let me think for a second." I then said while trying to look back into my childhood. "Oh! There was this one time where I performed SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" in class." I said with a proud grin displayed on my face.

I then looked over at Junhui who seemed to have dropped his smiling expression.

"Any childhood friends?" He then asked with another glint of hope running through his eyes.

"Um, I had this one friend named Jun. He moved to China though, I haven't seen him in a long time." I then replied with a nod.

Junhui then looked back down at the book with a hint of disappointment shown on his face.

"Is there something wrong?" I then asked with concern, I didn't mean to mess anything up.

"No, it's nothing." He replied with a blank expression.

"Did I do something wrong?" I then asked with the fear of ruining a potential friendship.

"Of course not, I just hoped that maybe you'd recognize me." Quietly replied Junhui while turning the page.

"What do you mean?" I replied, confused.

Junhui then took a deep sigh, and set the book down.  Afterwards, he looked up at me with an unreadable expression. That was until he unexpectedly changed his tone into a rather loud one. "Yah, Koo Jungmo it's me Jun!"

I then looked up at him in shock. "H-huh?"
