~POV Jisung~

.

I was with Bangchan, Solar and Changbin in one sitting room reserved for teachers. We were finishing lunch when, on a sudden impulse, I talked about the note I found in class this morning, which immediately made my colleagues react.

"Believe me, that's not the last you will see..." Bangchan sighed, taking a sip of his orange juice. "It's the latest fashion..."

"Send your legs' photo to the one you love? Isn't it prohibited by the house rules?"

"You're so cute Jisung!" Solar giggled patting my head. "The more it's forbidden, the more students like it! And so... it was for Lee Minho? Honestly, it was about time girls noticed him! He should have been in the highschool's most handsome boys top 10 since a while!"

"Seugmin said it's because he's been hanging out with Hwang Hyunjin lately." Changbin commented, his nose in his noodle cup. "Plus, now he's with Choi Minee too. That would have softened his bad boy image, making him more approachable... something like that."

"Hmmm... Luckily you're here to tell us what Seugmin thinks, right?"

Saying this, Solar winked at Changbin, who almost strangled himself with his food while I looked away, embarrassed for him and because the conversation, focused on Minho, starting to make me uncomfortable. I was afraid to be as transparent as him... and it wasn't over.

"Students think Choi Minee has a crush on Hyunjin." She whispered like she was telling us a secret. "Buuuut I think she likes Minho~"

"Solar... Students' love stories aren't our businesses..." Bangchan sighed while Seugmin was joining us with an amused smile.

"But it's far too much fun, right So'?"

"As much as seeing Changbin's face when you appear!"

"Excuse me... Weren't we talking about Minee and Minho?"

"What, baby Changbin is rebelling?"

"Minee and Minho sounds pretty good." Bangchan mumbled, now as undisciplined as the others. "Sounds like a comedy duo name..."

"I'm... going to... throw this away..." I said then, picking up the empty packaging and soda cans from the table at full speed.

Indeed, I was no longer able to stand that conversation. I knew my limits and now, they were fully crossed. Minho, Minho, Minho, Minho, Minho... his name was resounding enough in my head. I didn't need to hear them make predictions about his love life.

After passing by the trash can, I was walking the corridor thinking back to this damn note. Since I had returned it to that girl, maybe she had given it to Minho. Had he accepted it? Did he think she was cute? And what could it do to me?! Why was I thinking about this?!

Stupid me...

Annoyed despite myself, I stopped in front of a window to observe the highschool yard under its white coat. Winter landscape had something soothing and I was contemplating the snow-covered trees and the few students who were outside when suddenly, my serenity vanished.

Even seeing them together, I still couldn't understand when and how they had become so close. Now, Choi Minee was with them constantly... and Minho didn't even push her away. Seeing her walk between the two boys with pride, I joined my colleagues with a heavy heart. I hoped she had a crush on Hyunjin, but as Solar said, it was most likely on Minho...

In her place, I would have made the same choice...

If only I could...
