NXT 2 U [Minsung AU]

-14- WHO ?

~POV Jisung~

When I saw the new student entering the classroom, I immediately had the feeling I had seen him somewhere before, but it took me several minutes for my memory to activate and for me to finally recognize him.

What a surprise!

Last time I had seen him, he had blond hair, so I had trouble recognizing him but it was the boy who had helped me that day. Thanks to him, I was able to escape the blow this student wanted to give me and access to the video of the fight. I was deeply indebted to him. I also understood better why he wasn't wearing the school uniform at this moment. No doubt he had come to register or to visit the highschool...

Very friendly, Hyunjin greeted the headmaster before he leaves the classroom, while the girls looked at him with small hearts full of her eyes. He had quickly managed to charm them with his smiles, winks and cute gestures. A true aegyo master...

In a way, he was like Minho's antithesis. Curious, I glanced in my neighbor's direction, who seemed totally impervious to his little charm act. However, behind his usual indifference, something seemed to annoy him. Frowning eyebrows and closed face, he looked terribly upset. The gap was huge with Hyunjin's attractive aura.

Like day and night...

Once the headmaster left, I let Hyunjin introduce himself, which he did with off-putting ease and enthusiasm.

"Hwang Hyunjin. I'm 19." He said, full of life. "Born on March 20. Pisces. Blood group B. I'm an only child, born in Seoul but lived in Vegas for a few years when I was a child. I like dancing, reading and sports. More team dogs than team cats. Besides, I'm allergic to cat hair, but not to pretty girls like you." He winked at the class young ladies before laughing. "My parents made a nice donation to the highschool, so I was allowed to choose my class... and I chose this one!"

His eccentric presentation had captured her female audience attention. The boys were much less excited. Visibly exasperated, they even seemed to be waiting for the class to begin. I could see in their eyes a hint of jealousy towards Hyunjin, who, in addition to looking like a model, already felt at home with all the girls hanging from his lips.

For a moment, I wondered if Minho's shady aura was caused by the same reasons. Was it jealousy? Was he interested in one of his girl classmates? Confused, I came back to Earth, seeing several girls were raising their hands.

"Why our class?" One of them asked. "You could have gone to 3A-3. It's the best 3th year class." She chuckled gaily. "Why this one?"

Immediately, Hyunjin ran one hand through his hair and laughed softly.

"Hmmm..." He pretended to think by tapping his cheek with his index finger. "First, because the prettiest girls are here..." Seeing my reproving gaze, he joined hands to apologize. "Sorry, sorry... I mustn't say that in class." He laughed before suddenly looked me in the eye. "But my choice was mostly because I wanted to be in your class, teacher."

Hearing this, the students exchanged surprised and curious looks. A burst of exclamations and whistles rang out, which I stopped immediately. In the back of the classroom, Minho seemed more and more annoyed, so much I didn't dare to look at him anymore. Between two charming laughs, Hyunjin resumed.

"I mean... I saw all efforts you made to help one of your students, so... I thought if I was in your class, I would also be one of your protégés." He looked at me with a strange, unsettling gravity. "If I make a big mistake, you'll do anything to save me, won't you?"

For God's sake...

Unsurprisingly, the whole class was eagerly awaiting my answer, given that this story had become the focus topic over the past two days. I didn't like how the discussion was developing. Nevertheless, it was time for me to dot the i's on this matter.
