OS: I LIKE ME BETTER

PAIRING: LIMYOUNGMIN x KIMDONGHYUN

"I like me better when I'm with you"

“Youngmin, room 2, gave it to me,” an unfamiliar voice sounded from far away. It was a normal human reaction to paying attention to something that was different from everyday life. Donghyun looked up. A third person who he had never seen before narrowed his eyes as he stared at the pitch black nameplate attached to his uniform. 'Kang Dongho'

His face wasn't very friendly, and the sparse mustaches were a reminder that this man looked more like a gangster than a student, which was quite a contrast to the baby blue snack packet that was being handed to him. casually

“Youngmin?” he repeated automatically. Of course, I have known a person named Youngmin in my life. He didn't even know how to make a face. The person in front of him made such a messed face and placed a bag of cute colored snacks in front of him. very carelessly

“It says that even if you don't want to eat, you must eat.”

From that sentence that Kang Dong Ho left. He had already guessed that the person named Lim Youngmin must be very spoiled. He looked at the snack packet before picking it up and putting it in his backpack. Who won't eat it? Since the snack he just got is clearly his favorite.

“The first day of school, there were already young men flirting with me. He's so charming." Kim Dong Han said in a stern tone. Just listening, he knew that he clearly intended to tease him. Dong Hyun turned to look at the face of his close friend who was sitting eating together on the side before smiling. The other person's true expression

“He may not be flirting with us. What are you talking about?”

“Giving a favor like this isn't normal for that person.” Donghyun didn't say anything in response, just smiled at Donghan once more. His good friend didn't look any less annoyed or anything. He didn't know that, causing Dong Han to shake his head so madly that he had to duck and hide.

“My hair is all messed up.”

"The charge of being annoying in the evening, don't forget to make an appointment to apply for our friend club!" He nodded in agreement with his best friend before taking out both his and his best friend's dishes and putting them away for him. Probably didn't notice the sparkling eyes and smiles of the people in the last row of the cafeteria who were watching his every action from the moment he entered the cafeteria until the time he got out.

“Your eyes are shining, my friend.”

“Oh!” The violent contact with his head caused Kang Dongho to automatically curse. He had been his best friend since middle school and was definitely the same person who had forced him to bring that baby blue package of chocolate mint dorayaki to Kim Donghyun just a few minutes ago. That's also the case.

“Knows what he likes, like he's a stalker.” Youngmin shrugged at Dongho nonchalantly, assuming he was a stalker didn't really qualify. Knowing what the other person likes might be more of a coincidence than having to meet the other person in front of school in the morning or, on some days, meeting the other person on the bus with those little hands always clutching Songdo. The strange baby blue colored rayaki that he found out every day was Dorayaki, but to his surprise, it wasn't a snack you could buy here. He had to guess. It was likely that the boy must have had some in stock at home. He was secretly curious about the taste, so he couldn't help but pre-order it to try it himself. The first bite you took? Clearly toothpaste.

But even then, before I knew it, he had already put in a dozen pre-orders. The reason is because of Kim Dong Hyun.

From watching Donghyun's daily life, he could guess how much the other person liked the color blue, whether it be his bags or his bags. A watch or even the light blue coat that he usually wears every winter. Guess if the other person said that he eats chocolate mint dorayaki every day because the envelope is blue too. I believe it one hundred percent.

However, he was truly grateful to the color blue that had been kidnapped by Kim Donghyun. He confessed that if there was no blue element on the body of a person so young, He likely would never meet the other person and even fall in love with the smile that adorned that cute face. But it seemed like it was a childish story that Im Young Min was thinking in his head. Because even if today or any other day that wasn't winter, even if Kim Dong Hyun wore the same uniform as the whole school, his eyes would always stop on the younger person.

“So, what club is Donghyun going to be in?” After the last class of the day ended, everyone in the familiar square room packed up their things and moved their chairs into order with a loud bang from the rushing on. The walkway of the school building and the sound of the chair legs touching the wooden floor made Donghyun frown, causing Donghan to call for his attention with that question.

“We don't know yet. Maybe it doesn't get anything at all,” he replied dismissively before his slender hand slowly picked up the stack of sheets and a few books that he had gotten on the first day of school. His eyes stumbled upon the packet of snacks in his bag that he just got from. Strange person during the day Before picking it up and holding it like every day, only today I held it one more time, in the evening. Many people like to say that he is strange for holding a bag of snacks in his hand.

Going back to two years ago when we first met Dong Han, his habit of carrying a bag of snacks was a bit offensive to Dong Han. At that time, I remember Dong Han saying to him, 'Make yourself have some hands. It's frustrating.' But he didn't really understand how frustrating it was to hold onto his bag of snacks. If you asked him if he understood now, he'd say,

It wasn't just Dong Han who had to understand him.

"Then let's take a look at this club first. We saw that in the evening they also have a mini stage under the cafeteria. At least go listen to the music." At first, I planned to reject my close friend from the middle of the day. But in the end, with Dong Han's pretended anger, he didn't dare to refuse, so it was necessary to follow along with the reason for interrupting the appointment? It was nothing but wanting to hurry home. Come and feed the whippings, that's all.

“With a face like that, you know I don't want to follow you.” He only realized that he wasn't very good at keeping his face up when Dong Han turned back to him before stepping out of the classroom door. Too bad he got caught.

“So you bought a fish feeder and saw goldfish as more important than your friends? Kim Donghyun?” Donghan grumbled, but still walked hand in hand with him the rest of the way. It was now a time that was not considered very cool under The cafeteria was usually empty of students after 10:30 every day, but today it was full of people milling around looking for the best place to sit and listen to live music from their friends' music clubs. His closest friends really wanted to enter, and on the left hand side there were long wooden tables and chairs, along with smiling people welcoming people standing in a long line, most of whom were women if you hadn't guessed the area correctly. There must have been the registration for the club, and if Donghyun hadn't guessed correctly, those girls probably joined the club to get close to the person they liked, rather than asking how they knew. wait

Even though Donghyun didn't have much interest in the music club, he knew from some of his female friends in the class that the music club had a lot of good-looking people at school. Or maybe this was the reason Donghan wanted to join. Definitely this club.

“Donghyun, go inside and listen to the music, we'll follow you,” Donghan said hurriedly to him, waving his hand in dismissal. When he saw that the line was getting longer and longer, he nodded and walked over. Under the cafeteria to find a place to wait. Donghyun didn't get too close to the mini stage because it had already been occupied by the people who had arrived before him, but that wasn't too important for him to care about since there was nothing to worry about. I didn't even plan to come and see the singer.

The dorayaki he held in his hand was slowly removed before being slowly slipped into his mouth. He confessed that he is addicted to chocolate mint dorayaki to the point that he always buys some to stock up at home. Because his parents traveled to Japan often, he had this snack as a byproduct. Secretly, many people have asked how delicious it is and they don't know how to answer.

It's as delicious as when you accidentally ate toothpaste as a child. Something like that

Stunned

The sound of a guitar test rang out along with the sound of screams that could be heard throughout the area. He turned around and looked, according to the habit of humans responding to external stimuli without paying much attention, but it couldn't be denied that the person above. The familiar stage with the acoustic guitar couldn't stop him from staring even though the song he liked was half a minute into the episode and he only found out today that the light blue shirt went with it. How good is it with a sunburst colored guitar?

I like me better when I’mwith you

I like me better when I’m with you

I knew from the first time, I’d stay for a longtime

‘Cause I like me better when

I like me better when I’m with you

This song is the song he likes the most. Even though he has never been in serious love in the past, this song still makes him happy every time he listens to people who aren't heartbroken but listen to sad songs and get into it. Going with it would be no different from him listening to a love song and feeling good, but at this point he was beginning to be unsure if he was smiling.

Is it because of the song I like or because of the people on stage who are playing this song? My heart is pounding, Kim Dong Hyun.

“Stay awhile stay awhile

Stay here with me

Stay awhile stay awhile, oh”

It was as if my ears had shut off for a moment. He almost bit his tongue because the words to this song were clearer than any other when eyes that sparkled like a million stars were staring at him and lips were singing the lyrics. Smiling at the same time, he didn't know how long his and the other person's eyes met until he accidentally said to himself,

yes, sure 

in the piece

stay awhile 

Almost the last part of the song. I just prayed that the other party wouldn't be able to read their lips.

“Donghyun!” Donghan shouted to Donghyun from outside, startling him a bit, before he tried to walk away from the crowd. It was not hard to guess that it was probably because there were so many people. It's the person on stage. Dong Han's devilish smile showed how happy he was to be a part of this music club.

Those two hands held his hand up and shook it back and forth like a child until he had to convince the other person to keep his cool. But after a while, it was like he himself could barely keep his balance when he heard his good friend whispering that the person who wanted to... On stage, Im Young Min.

“Are you crazy?!” No matter how many times he asked, Dong Han still confirmed that the person up there was actually Lim Young Min, explaining that when he was filling out his details when registering for seniors at It was Regis who said it himself that today Im Youngmin was performing on stage, but..that person named Youngmin wasn't the only one in the school.

“Youngmin, Youngmin hyung, class two.” He was a little speechless. Seriously, he didn't know what he was doing. Donghan was able to hold back such a laugh before waving goodbye to him and stubbornly running away from him home. The story in his head right now could be said that even if the diff function X was compared to You can tell that right now my heart is swelling more than every day in the past, but another heart secretly prays that it's not the same person. This is crazy.

“Have you eaten all your snacks?” The second unfamiliar voice of the day made him stop his steps, causing his slender eyes to stare at the ground with worry and anxiety at first. He raised his eyes to meet the person standing in full view of him, a man with light brown hair. sunburst guitar The light blue shirt and plain white pants that reflected the white lights on the stage that made him unable to take his eyes off him for a full three minutes five minutes ago now stood in front of him, Donghyun reached. And it's not right to catch the beginning and end. His legs, which normally didn't follow commands much, were working very well these days. He walked around and avoided others, but was still held back by the hands of someone who couldn't easily guess who he was. Ask him about snacks in the beginning.

“I'm sorry I touched you, I didn't mean to. But I don't want you to walk away.” of oneself with trepidation I swear, if he had a heart attack, he would blame the person in front of him first. It couldn't be denied that right now his face was completely hot even though the temperature was no more than twenty-two degrees at this time. You've been able to walk away every time, but this time, why don't you walk away?

Maybe it was because his feelings told him to stand here a little longer, or maybe it was because of the words in front of him. For whatever reason, he would never walk away again.

“Stop running away from me.” The touch on my group made him look up helplessly but as if he was doing something wrong. The gentle smile that he had always secretly liked was now being given to him right here. Thinking back to the past, it accidentally made him want to cry at the person in front of him right now.

Kim Dong-hyun, who had a crush on Im Young-min for five months, and Im Young-min, who had a crush on Kim Dong-hyun for a full year, might seem strange that neither of them dared. Let's get together Including Kim Dong Hyun, who didn't even know Im Young Min's name. The first day that Im Young Min met Kim Dong Hyun, if I guessed correctly, it would be during the winter season in front of school.

But on the first day that Dong Hyun met Lim Young Min, it was the day that Kim Dong Hyun first learned to ride the bus because his family had to travel abroad often from being picked up and picked up by. Father and mother, circumstances forced him to take the bus to school by himself. What was the first day, even though it was difficult, believe me, it was a good memory that cannot be forgotten, including that person.

On that day, he recalled being a little confused by the bus route, but with his eyes fixed on the students wearing the same uniform as him, riding the bus was not difficult at all, especially with Use the other person's red hair color to capture the beginning of the journey. Yes, in the past Im Young Min had red hair.

And almost every day he encountered another person on the bus, sometimes with their backs to him. Some sat beside him. Some stood up and made him sit or even secretly asked his name.

'My name is Kim Donghyun' was the first sentence he said to the other person, but after that the conversation was interrupted by the music playing through his headphones. Have you ever been turned around to stare at the black name tag on another person's chest, including looking directly at another person's face, only knowing that you liked that smile but not being ready to know it?

Maybe because in the past he was often chased after, it was difficult for him to like someone or put himself into someone's life even though he wanted to get to know Lim Young Min. how much But what he did was the opposite of all his feelings. It could be said that even though Im Young Min tried to force himself into his life, he kept running away, never wanting to know.

Never wanted to care what the other person's name was. What floor or room you're in, that's what Donghyun does.

Lim Youngmin is the same way, no matter how much he likes Donghyun, the way Donghyun acted in the beginning made him never think of approaching someone younger than him. It wasn't because of feelings he had. It wasn't enough but because I really felt it and liked it very much. So I want the other person to be ready to open up with a feeling of being truly ready. Not trying to force yourself into Kim Dong Hyun's life is what Young Min did.

But in the end, he seemed to have to give in to the feelings that were almost overflowing. This year was the last year that he would be able to stay in school before transferring to study abroad. The situation forced him. Everything makes him want to be a part of Donghyun's life, even though what the end result will be if we look at rolling the dice and it turns out to be a hyung.

acquaintances or even lovers Even if the result wasn't the final one, he wouldn't regret it at all. In exchange for the fact that the other party knew him and knew his name in the memories that were the good memories he was able to create, he was very happy.

“I'm sorry.”

“My name is Im Youngmin.”

“My name is Kim Donghyun.”

“I have never forgotten our names since the first day.”
