Minhyuk POV
Kihyun, Hyungwon and I made our way to the cafeteria before going to our third, and last, class for the day. I couldn't help but notice that Wonnie was more uncomfortable than usual.
He was looking around and weirdly clinging on to Kihyun, well, maybe it was the aftermath of overdoing it earlier.
So I just shrugged it off.
When we arrived at our usual table our short hamster friend stood up to get drinks.
"The usual?" He asked and I just nodded.
Hyungwon sighed and leaned back and closed his eyes. He looked tired and even slightly annoyed.
"Are you alright?" I asked carefully.
"Ugh I don't know. It's just-" when Hyungwon opened his eyes he suddenly stopped speaking.
I followed his gaze as and then saw a group of guys approaching.
I smiled when I was Shownu, Jooheon, Changkyun and Wonho.
"Minhyuk istg I'm fucking leaving right now." Hyungwon whisper shouted.
"Oh come on Wonnie! Give them a chance. They're not that bad!"
I pleaded.
He stood up and grabbed his bag.
"Well Minhyuk, I would really like to see the things from your point of view, but I just can't seem to get my head as far up their ass."
And with that Hyungwon rushed out of the cafeteria.
I actually wanted to go after him but I was stuck with Kihyuns jacket and bag, that I couldn't just leave here. So I sat there until the four boys stood in front of me.
We gretted each other but Wonho immediately left. I think he was going to follow Hyungwon. I was really worried.
Jooheon:"Where is Wonho going?"
Changkyun:"Probably tracing after his new flame."
Me:"You guys are idiots!"
Jooheon:"Btw Minnie have I told you about how me and Changie got mugged, yesterday???!"
Shownu:"I wouldn't call it mugged, but okay."
Me:"REALLY? are you okay? Do you know who it was?"
'I really hope they don't know'
Jooheon:"Well not really but-"
The blond haired but was abruptly cut of by a furious voice from behind us.
"Minhyuk, where the fuck is Hyungwon?" He asked staring directly at me.
I glumped and just pointed towards the door. Then he rushed out.
"Wow that was... scary?" Jooheon said.
"Is he always like this?" Changkyun asked.
"What a man." Shownu said still looking after my pink haired, hamster friend.
Hyungwon POV
I rushed out of the cafeteria. I also felt kind of bad for Kihyun, since I knew he felt the same way but I really just couldn't wait.
Well, great. I'm alone, I still have 10 minutes left and I didn't get my strawberry milk.
Can anything actually go right for once?
I sighed as I thought about what to do next. I remembered that I still had to get my book for the next period. Luckily my locker wasn't far from the hallway I was in.
I made my way past countless students with my nervousness slowly calming down. I mostly don't mind the people in school at all tbh.
However, what I do mind are those groups of guys who think of themselves so highly that they don't get to understand that you actually don't want anything to do with them. Is it that hard to get inside you head?
I frowned at the people who popped up in my mind. Specially when it came to the one who actually had the looks to justify this way of thinking.
I rolled my eyes, before I realised two things. First, I was in front of my locker and second, the halls have cleared up a lot. There were barely any people around me.
I opened my locker, put the unnecessary stuff inside and got the needed book. So I closed it and turned around on my heal, just to stumble against my locker immediately.
So here I was being trapped between Shin Hoseok and a wall of lockers. Goddamn.
"Hi!" He leaned in slightly and breathed out with a smirk plastered on his face.
I instantly felt the heat rush through my face at the sudden closeness.
I could control myself now but istg if he came one centimetre closer I'd surely kick his jewels.
"What do you want?" I asked in an unsteady voice that I wanted to slap myself for.
"A deal." He said bluntly and grinned even wider.
"What?" Not only I but also my body was confused at this point, if you know what I'm saying.
"Well, you landed on top of me yesterday after you and your friend put Changkyun out of order and scared Jooheon for his life. To answer the question, no I haven't told them and I also won't actually tell them any time soon."
"Wait you actually didn't tell them?"
"No and I won't, if you give me your number and stop avoiding me."
What the actual fuck is happening? Why does he want my number? Is this what he calls flirting or wth is happening?
I was thinking hard at this point, so hard that Hoseok probably grew impatient.
I started talking before actually thinking.
"What the fuck is your problem?"
"Huh?" He asked clearly confused.
"You used to fucking tyrannize the living shit out of my existence! You didn't leave me alone until I left our middle school, because no one liked me anymore, since they were too afraid of you. You had me in pieces... IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO STOP HATING MYSELF, BECAUSE THE OH SO IMPORTANT WONHO HATED ME! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WENT THROUGH AND HOW MUCH PAIN AND TIME IT TOOK FOR ME TO HEAL." I had barely taken a breath until I continued yelling at the guy in front of me.
"AND WHAT WAS ALL OF THIS FOR? HUH? DO YOU REMEMBER? IT WAS BECAUSE I LIKED YOU. BECAUSE OF A STUPID LITTLE CRUSH THAT RUINED MY WHOLE LIFE IN A FUCKING WEEK... so don't come here now, trying to be a good guy. I don't know what the fuck you want from me at this point. Don't you have everything, or do you still need my new life in pieces until you are satisfied?"
At this point I was shaking in anger. My eyes swollen but not a single tear fell.
I began to process what I actually said and looked up in shock.
But what I locked eyes with was nothing I had ever expected.
There stood a Shin Hoseok, frowning, with a swollen lip, that he bit to keep him from talking, even now he still looked intimidated (not in a bad way). But the most unexpected sight was him being on the verge of tears.
Tears of anger and something I had seen, in the mirror, for years. self-hatred.
And to be honest... it was astonishing. His eyes had these sparks, but most importantly, regret. Pure regret. Pure beauty.
We just stood there. Me and him. Both looking as staggered as the other.
I didn't know what to do but my mind went completely blank when he pulled me into his embrace. His one hand, finding its place at my waist and his other, at the back of my head; making my head rest on his shoulder.
His voice was shaking as he put his words into whispers.
"I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
I wanted to tell you this since the day you left but I never got to actually do it...
I know that you can't forgive me and most importantly can't forget but I really want to a new start.
Let's get to know each other again.
Let's be new again.
Let's start from zero...
Not even one."
(Fight me)
He pulled me away as I stood there completely buffed. The regret must have been eating him from the inside for years.
"Hi my name is Shin Hoseok, but I also go by Wonho. Oh and I really like iced coffee."
He said as he gave me the most cheesy smile I had ever seen.
"My name is Hyungwon and I really want some strawberry milk right now."
"Let's be friends."
CUTE RIGHT? UGH this chapter feels like the end of a fanfiction, even though it's the beginning.
I also kinda don't like how it turned out, because I really want this to be funny rather than sad.... BUT IT HAD TO BE.
LISTEN PEOPLE I WILL MAKE THE NEXT CHAP FUNNIER TO MAKE UP FOR THIS ONE.
HOPE.YOU.ENJOYED.
