While in class, I was cleaning up my school equipment. I'm used to the last class. Because I don't have to bother jostling with the others to get out of class. Surprisingly, Minho was also doing the same with me. Usually he's not like this as I know. He takes his books seriously. I want to hurry out of class so I don't talk to him.
When I passed by Minho's table, which was sitting at the front of the classroom, he suddenly pulled me and pushed me to the board. Minho blocked both my sides with his hands. Does he think I'm gonna run away from him? He came near me scaring me. Even his face was very close to mine. I couldn't look at him.
"I want to ask you something."
"Mwo?" I asked without looking at him.
"But look at me first."
Why did he tell me to look at his face? Why not just talk? Does he know I'm nervous? Is that why he played me? I slowly raised my face. I looked at Minho who was already making a serious expression with eyes like he wanted to eat people.
"Kiss me? Or, hate me?"
What kind of question is that?!!! I'm really scared. I want to escape. Plus his gaze was not distracted from me. I will soon be short of breath. I decided to run away by pushing the hand that was blocking me. I want to run out of class. But all of a sudden she pulled my bag and brought me closer to her. Then .......
CUPS
Him, kissing.
I was shocked by what he did. I feel like crying. Because I feel like he's presumptuous. I took it off and ran out. My goal is to go to the back garden of the school.
"Shiba! I can't control myself! I have to explain it to her."
Minho rubbed his face in a huff like a person who regretted having made a fatal mistake. He ran after me while calling my name.
I arrived at the park and sat down on the bench with my head bowed and put it on my forehead. The sound of footsteps and breathing of people who ran away. I woke up and wanted to go home. Minho held my hand again.
"Jeongmal mianhae's. I know I'm sassy. It's because of me........... Actually I........."
"Y/N! Neo gwaenchanha's?"
Minho took out a bottle of mineral water from his carry bag. Then he gave it to me. I drink it with rage. Then I gave it to him again. I intend to leave it. But he said.
"Stay here. I have to take responsibility. At least to calm you down. Jebal."
He begged me with regret. I finally sat down with a long distance between us. I sat at the corner of the bench.
("Come on Lee Minho. You can do it. You have to tell him.")
"Y/NH. Actually.....actually I................
I like you."
One minute. Only the sound of wind was heard. No one's making a sound. I looked at him with a flat expression. I never thought this could happen.
"I don't like you." I answered after a minute of silence.
"Arayo's. But please listen to me. Actually, I've liked you since X class. I can only watch you from far away. I don't have the courage. I know you're a closed woman. I've thought this before. Therefore, I guess class XII is a good time."
His words made me die. I can't answer it. I don't know what to do. I could only look up at the sky to think and take my eyes off of him.
"I'm sorry I like you."
I was wrong to say that love is a mistake. I know loving someone is not a big mistake. It's just, I can't believe anyone will love me after Mom and Dad are gone. That's what's always on my mind.
"You don't have to rush. Promise me. Let me always be by your side. To make you love me."
I struggled with my thoughts for quite a while. Until I realized Minho had extended his hand to take me home.
"Steel."
