SECRET LOVE

Hwang Minhyun  x  Bae jinyoung

“They say that when people secretly love someone, they secretly like them no matter what that person does. It was all good. Is it true, Jinyoung?”

“Jinyoung”

“Bae Jinyoung!!”

“Ha! Huh! What do you say?”

"Oh, did you hear what I just said?"

“Oh, I'm listening,” Jinyoung answered, still not taking his eyes off the treadmill.

And as for the guy who's listening? Well, it wasn't his friend Park Woo Jin sitting here next to him.

He was waiting for the coach's whistle to signal the runners.

Because of the reason why he was sitting here.

That is, people who are in the preparation position before starting off on the second track.

'Go quickly, you won't be in time'

‘Don't be too excited!’ Woojin turned around and replied.

'It's not too much, but today there's an athlete selection and the field must be full of people. How will you be able to keep up with the others if you're slow like this?'

'Hurry up and go first'

'No, don't play tricks if Daehwi and Jihoon don't rush home today. I won't beg you, Woojin!'

'If you go too slow or too fast, he won't even look at you, Jinyoung.'

'Where is it important?'

'Hm'

'Well, I couldn't go watch the seniors run, so let the seniors watch me - oh, are you a slot machine or something? Do you have to be so meticulous in just packing your bags?'

Bang!

The athletes took off in unison, the sound of guns blazing and the cheering from dozens of seniors and juniors in the school echoing uninterruptedly, in harmony with the swift, wind-like footsteps of those taking part in the selection.

The athletes on the track soared forward without letting anyone down. The favorites, Hwang Minhyun and Lai Kuanlin, ran in tandem with uncompromising speed. Until the last second

Before crossing the finish line almost simultaneously, to the point of not knowing who lost or won with the naked eye...

A cheer from the sidelines signaled that the selection was over, with it still unclear who would actually be the representative to compete in inter-school athletics this year before all the athletes who participated in the selection had gathered together. Hang out on the sidelines to listen to announcements from the coach.

“Alright, it can be seen that there are two very close selection results. Now we will watch the recorded video together and announce the person who will be this year's representative. Give them a ten minute break. Then let's meet in the club room. Don't be late."

After the announcement from the coach, the athletes responded firmly before being followed by the deafening complaints of the students who had come to watch the selection until the coach had to dissuade them.

“You can go home now, kids. Tomorrow, the coach will put them on the board for you.”

After saying that, he walked out of the area and let the students continue to complain for a while before they helplessly dispersed and went home.

“Jinyoung, come back,” Woojin said to his friend who, even after the athlete left here, still wouldn't care about him.

“You go first,” Jinyoung said.

"And why aren't you coming back?"

“Woojin, I can't wait to hear the results tomorrow.”

“Don't tell me you...again...?” Woojin raised a finger and pointed at his friend knowingly.

"Come on, just eavesdropping a little bit. It's not a big deal."

The two feet walked carefully to the side of the gym, hiding in the bathroom in the gym, waiting for everyone to enter the club room in the hallway next to the gym, before slowly... Sneaking around on the window sill of the club room like a burglar.

But this was nothing exciting for this amateur thief because he had done this countless times.

Otherwise, he would know the running practice schedule. How can the athletes' selection day and annual competition schedule be so detailed?

“Are you all here yet, you hot guys?” the coach teased the athletes who had come to wait to hear the results.

“Oh, there are quite a few people who are hot, coach,” Dongho said.

“How do you know? I don't know. Those kids were just auditioning to make a big splash...Okay,” the coach paused. That's it."

“Yes, coach,” the athlete responded.

“Ong Seong Wu 48.43 seconds – Kang Dong Ho 47.93 seconds – Kang Daniel 46.45 seconds – Yoo Seon Ho 46.38”

The coach raised his head before continuing.

“There are two more people left...and what I'm announcing here is the person who made the time...”

“44.20 seconds, which is who will be representing the men's 400m this year.”

“That is...”

“Athlete Hwang Minhyun!”

The sound of applause immediately erupted. While some people said things like It's definitely Hwang Minhyun. It's definitely true. After telling the people, they turned to shake hands and slapped their backs to congratulate them. The competitor who lost narrowly to Kuanlin, although he looked a bit disappointed, came to express his sincere congratulations.

“Congratulations,” the coach spoke up again, “For the second part, Lai Kuanlin, your time was 44.67 seconds, just a little further from Minhyun.”

“Yes, coach,” Kuanlin responded.

“Alright, who missed out on representing the men's 400 meter athlete this time? Don't be sad, there are still many school level competitions to be held in many different categories. You guys need to get your bodies ready for the next program's auditions.”

“Yes, coach.”

"Then that's enough for today. Let's go our separate ways."

Pung!

"Ouch"

“Kron?”

A mysterious cry sounded in front of the club room before anyone could disperse, causing the coach to immediately shout out a question. But there was no reply.

“I'll go check it out myself,” Minhyun volunteered while everyone looked puzzled.

But when he came out to the front of the club room, he found nothing. There was no sign of anyone who was the owner of the cry just a moment ago, only...

The cream-colored notebook that had fallen in front of the club room was the suspect by default.

As for the reason for his voice, aside from being good at sneaking around, he's also good at running away. But the mistake was probably the clumsiness that no matter how I fixed it, it was because I was in too much of a hurry when the coach released the athlete in the club, causing him to accidentally hit his head against the window sill.

Even if I weren't clumsy. It will really come back out smoothly.

“Bae Jinyoung, you fool. Don't know how to be careful. I don't know how to be careful.”

The little one moaned as he rubbed his own head. which should soon swell up

“It's a good idea to be conscious and run out in time or you'll definitely be punished by the coach for eavesdropping, Jinyoung.”

After patting his head, he still didn't stop talking to himself.

"Er, senior's time was 44.20. You have to write it down."

He quickly reached into his pocket to find the cream-colored notebook where he often jotted down stories. Keep it important. But no matter how I look, I can't find it. I almost emptied my bag and searched but couldn't find it until finally some images from my memory flashed into my head.

It was a picture of him putting down the book before using both hands to grip the window sill of the club room, and then he remembered that he had rushed out without bending down to pick up the book.

“Unlucky!”

Without wasting any time, Jinyoung rushed back to the club room, which was now completely closed and locked from the outside.

and what he was looking for

It's not there anymore.

The small figure tried to peer through the gap in the curtain, but it was no use because the inside of the club room was so dark that he could barely see anything.

“Or…”

He exclaimed to himself before rushing towards the trash can that was opposite the club room, thinking that someone might have thrown it away. But before he could start searching in the trash like he wanted. Thinking, the thing he wanted suddenly floated in front of him.

wait a minute! I'm not floating here.

“Senior!”

Jinyoung was immediately taken aback when he saw that the person standing in front of him and holding a notebook held out towards him was someone who, if possible, he would choose not to be this close...

“Minhyun sunbae.”

It's not that I don't like it.

“How did you get here?”

But because I like him so much that he doesn't act right when he's around him.

“Are you looking for this?” Minhyun asked when he saw that the other person was still stunned.

“K...Yes.”

“Thank you.” The small figure didn't seem like much of himself. His face bowed in gratitude to his senior, almost merging with the trash can in front of him before he awkwardly stretched out his hand, hoping to take the notebook back. And I think I've already grabbed the notebook. It will run four times a hundred and disappear from here immediately.

but!

It didn't go as he thought.

Because if it's easy to give back It would be a bit out of character for a careful person like Hwang Minhyun.

“How do I know that this book really belongs to you? Minhyun said as he flicked the wrist holding the notebook to prevent his junior Jinyoung from grabbing the notebook.

“That book really is mine.”

“But you look flustered. You're not pretending, are you?” Minhyun wondered.

“Senpai, why would I do that?”

“Am I going to find out with you?”

“Senpai…believe me,” Jinyoung pleaded while the other looked like he was following suit.

“I can believe you.”

“But you have to unlock this key for me first.”

“This is the key?” Jinyoung said in a panic as he stared at the small combination lock that locked his notebook.

"yes"

Minhyun stood by his words with a slight challenge to the person in front of him. Because the hurried expression and the sweat pouring out even though the weather is this cold, indicates the nervousness of the person in front very well.

It's Hwang Minhyun. Although he appears quiet and orderly on the outside, he actually has a playful and mischievous side like a teenager.

"Or you don't know the code."

"I know, it's just—"

With confidence, Bae Jinyoung blurted out almost immediately, but was stopped halfway because he absolutely couldn't let the person in front of him know his password. It wasn't because he was jealous of his privacy or anything, because if he was. That way, when they get it back, they just need to set a new password and it will be private again as before.

But that cannot be said. It's because of the password Jinyoung set.

It was the birthday of the person standing in front of him.

“Just?” And even more so, she didn't stop interrogating him.

"just..."

“It's just...”

“Just what?”

"Well...these codes are secret." The small figure tried to avoid it.

“If that's the case, then tomorrow you can go get it back from the teacher yourself.”

Due to Jinyoung's suspicious attitude, Minhyun chose not to return the notebook to him. and prepare to walk away from here But the other party called him first.

Because even though the teacher doesn't know what this code means, if he opens his notebook and reads it, It must have been a million times more embarrassing.

Because of that, the little body mustered up the slightest bit of courage to hold the other back.

“Wait!”

“Hm.”

"I mean...I really can't tell."

“Then I'll go back.”

“But Senpai, is...uh...holding it and letting me unlock it..?”

He offered with his heart pounding until he almost died from just talking with Minhyun senior. Jinyoung still didn't think that day would ever come, but today he had to negotiate face-to-face like this again.

Minhyun sunbae's heart made his heart skip a beat just by looking at him from a distance.

What about his password and the contents of his notebook?

If Minhyun sunbae saw it

He was definitely going to have a heart attack right here without anyone being able to help him.

"okay"

A voice of agreement pulled him out of his trance before the notebook was held in front of him. The small figure bravely reached out and his body betrayed the courage he was continually trying to build in his heart.

At this moment, Jinyoung's hand was shaking more than the phone was ringing.

One hand held the notebook tightly, fearing that the other person would pull it away and read it. When he finished unlocking it, the other hand frantically dialed the code for fear that the other person would see it.

It passed slowly because Jinyoung was barely conscious.

click!

The sound of the key ringing told Minhyun sunbaenim that Jinyoung had indeed unlocked it. The small figure immediately pulled the book towards him, but the other person held it back and refused to let go.

“Senpai, what are you going to do?”

"nothing"

“I can unlock it now,” Jinyoung protested.

“I know,” Minhyun said before letting go of the book after resisting it the first time.

"Then I'll be back first. Hello."

Faster than when the code was cracked, Jinyoung turned around and prepared to run four hundred times as he had originally planned.

whereas...

"wait a minute!"

“Where are you going? What club are you going to secretly look at again?”

“No, no, I'm just going home.” Jinyoung replied with a look of anger in his eyes because his senior's words seemed to catch him off guard.

“The gates are all closed. There's only the front door of the school left."

“You really don't know?” Minhyun asked again when he saw that the other person looked stunned.

“Oh, that's it. Uh, you have to go that way,” he said while awkwardly pointing his finger to the other side before walking back and quickly walking past Minhyun.

And even though his legs were faster than normal But why did the walkway next to the gym get farther than every day? I don't know how no matter how much I walked, I still couldn't reach the exit until Jinyoung felt the footsteps of someone following him.

No, no, not a senior, no.

Not Minhyun sunbae.

no..

What's wrong?

suddenly!

As soon as the senior walked over to catch up with him, the little figure suddenly stopped walking and turned to ask the other person with a panicked expression.

“Why did you follow me, senior? You weren't going to take the notebook, right?”

“Who follows you? I will go home as well.”

'That's right, there's only one way out. What did Jinyoung just say?'

“Uh, then Senpai, go first,” the small figure said before stepping out of the way.

“Why do you want me to go first? You just walk away.” Minhyun replied with a look that didn't seem to understand.

"No, I can't walk in front of seniors."

"Why"

Well, how embarrassing is that?

“Well.”

“Uh, I'm a junior. How can I get a senior to follow me? Senior, please go first.”

The small figure spread out his hands as he dodged his way to the edge of the walkway until Minhyun couldn't help but walk in front of him.

But the junior who had just avoided him and told him to walk in front of him just now had caused him another surprise.

“Congratulations, senior.”

The words floated past Minhyun's ears for a split second as Jinyoung ran ahead of him without a trace before quickly disappearing from his sight, leaving Minhyun standing there confused. The walkway is alone.

“What is wrong with this child?”

Mumbling alone while not realizing that he accidentally smiled even though he said it out of pure doubt.

After the events of that day, there were many times when Jinyoung felt strange, like maybe Minhyun sunbae might have started to notice his peeking, but he couldn't tell for sure because he didn't seem bothered, but even so. Jinyoung would regard the unexpected sight of Minhyun sunbae as having never been seen before as a coincidence.

But no matter what, Jinyoung still hasn't stopped prowling around the track and field club room, only to find out that Minhyun sunbae will be helping in the athlete registration tent for the upcoming sports day. It'll be here too.

And because of that...

“Are you really going to compete, Jinyoung?” Jihoon asked in shock when Jinyoung spoke with excitement.

“Yes, then I will win! And give the gold medal to Minhyun hyung!”

“What do you say?” His voice was irritating and irritating, causing Woojin who was listening next to him. asked immediately

“Well, the coach said that he doesn't want the seniors to compete because other people will complain that no matter how they compete, they'll lose to senior Minhyun anyway. But people who love athletics in their veins like senior Minhyun. After all, you must want to compete, right?”

“That is true, but even if you give the medal to your senior, your senior won't be able to compete,” Woojin protested.

“And do you dare to give the medal to your seniors?” Daehwi reinforced.

“Don't get to that point yet so you can keep up with everyone else, Jinyoung.” Jihoon finally spoke up.

"Why don't you guys encourage each other? We don't even talk to each other anymore."

Jinyoung who got friends They teased each other, pretending to be hysterical before walking away while trying to pretend they weren't embarrassed.

“So where are you going?” Woojin shouted after him.

"How about I go take my homework to the teacher's room?"

Jinyoung answered without looking back before Jinyoung's three closest friends shouted in unison, knowing exactly who was sitting on the fire escape at the end of the corridor during lunch break like this.

“Excuse!/Excuse!/Excuse!”

Bang!

The sound of gunfire was the signal for the athletes to run. And Bae Jinyoung, one of the blue athletes, took off and walked without thinking about his friend's life. and the other blue members cheered heavily at the edge of the field.

If those people knew that Jinyoung's victory this time wasn't for the blue, then his little body might be attacked by many people. But he didn't have to worry to that point because right now Jinyoung Almost running behind everyone else

“Jinyoung, please fight! Jinyoung ran faster again! Hurry, Jinyoung!” Daehwi cheered while jumping around in excitement.

This is different from other people who are starting to feel depressed and will have no strength to make a sound.

But the cheering crowd suddenly rose up when the blue representative, Jinyoung, increased his speed like he commanded, overtaking almost all of his fellow runners in front and unbelievably reaching third place.

The two pairs of feet walked closely together to catch up to the person running ahead of them, but they were not able to make it in time. The scarlet-colored athlete was undoubtedly the first to cross the finish line.

It was only the blue representative Jinyoung and the green athlete fighting with the best of their abilities.

Until finally

"Hey!!"

Jinyoung was able to cross the finish line in second place and narrowly drew loud cheers from the cheering crowd.

“Awesome, Jinyoung.” Daehwi walked up to Jinyoung, who had just walked out of the stadium covered in sweat.

“Daehwi, I think I ran too fast.”

“Huh, you have to be fast. If you're not fast, how will you get second place?” Daehwi protested with doubt.

“No, it's..I wi..”

“Hey Jinyoung.”

Before he could explain the matter, the small figure fainted and collapsed. Both Woojin and Jihoon, who had just followed in later, rushed to carry Jinyoung to the medical tent opposite. We didn't get far before Daehwi volunteered to fetch Jinyoung's bag from the athletes' registration tent.

And even after running until getting a silver medal But in the end, he didn't go out to receive the award himself because he had been unconscious for so long that Dae Hwi almost asked to call an ambulance for him, but he finally regained consciousness when Ji Hoon walked back. Came here to buy enough water.

“Ah, eat some to increase your energy,” Jihoon said as he handed over the sweet water.

“Thank you,” Jinyoung said.

“And here is your medal,” Woojin said as he handed over a silver circle medallion.

"coin? So they're handing out medals now?" Jinyoung raised both his hands and rubbed his head unceremoniously. "Oh, Jinyoung!"

He mumbled without stopping before falling silent when his eyes caught sight of Minhyun senior approaching his friend in the medical tent.

Jinyoung nods to Dae Hwi to give him his own bag so he can keep his medals in it, but is shocked to find that Dae Hwi has given him the bag.

It's not his...

Immediately, the small figure hurriedly moved closer to Daehwi. He tells Daehwi what happened before Jinyoung's little friend panics and tries to remember who was there when he went to pick up his bag.

With both of them flustered, Woojin began to notice and moved to ask until he found out what was inside the bag...

“Jinyoung, you're such a romantic.” His other roommate, Yoo Seonho, walked over with Jinyoung's familiar bag and a small piece of white paper in his hand.

yes

In that bag of Jinyoung's there was a letter.

The letter he wrote to Sunbae Minhyun

It's not a love confession letter.

But if anyone reads

Anyway, you must know how he feels about Minhyun sunbaenim.

“Sunho, give it back,” Jinyoung hissed.

“I know that my seniors really love this sport. So I want to..” before Sunho pretended to read it out lightly because he wanted to tease him.

“Sunho, stop it!”

“I want to compete to win a gold medal for my seniors to use as a talisman.”

“Sunho!” The small figure whispered, but Sunho still refused to stop.

“But I don't know if I can do it.”

"this!"

“However, I want to cheer on my seniors. Awesome.” Seonho turned and flashed an incredulous look at the owner of the letter, Jinyoung.

“Sunho, I can't read the next word!” Jinyoung cried, his eyes widening as he remembered the last words in his letter well.

A word that is the name of someone who is sitting and chatting with friends not too far away.

“Minhyun sunbae!”

Sunho!! Could you speak softly like you read?

“Do you like Minhyun sunbae, Jinyoung?”

Still, the noise hasn't stopped!

If I spoke in a whisper to tease him, it wouldn't be a problem, but suddenly blurting out the last word of my sentence, are you going to kill me?

And do you know anything? That Minhyun sunbae is here too!

The craziest thing is, I want to hit my head on the tent pole and pass out one more time before I know if I'll survive.

“Jinyoung...I'm..sorry.” Jinyoung's tall friend leaned down and whispered in a disconcerting manner while his small figure was the focus of the people in the area and was flustered and acting uneasily.

Which, of course, friends Minhyun's friends cheered and teased until Jinyoung almost wanted to break up and let him know.

Meanwhile, people in the area started talking about him and asking Jinyoung for the truth.

Many people questioned him and expected him from both his words and his eyes.

And what was hardest was the eyes of Minhyun sunbae who stared at him as if he wanted an answer as well.

If it's like this, what can Jinyoung do?

With this much pressure, how can Jinyoung handle it?

Minhyun sunbae approaches him like this and Jinyoung will...

How can you accept it?

"yes"

The small figure blurted out before looking directly at the senior who stood looking at him with blank eyes.

“I like Minhyun sunbae.”

And it's still as empty as before.

Even though Jinyoung confessed

No matter how much Jinyoung tried to convey his feelings,

What was returned from the other party was emptiness.

He stood still in the middle of the crowd who were starting to look at him strangely. Or maybe Jinyoung thought that Minhyun felt that way about him too.

Because Minhyun sunbae didn't show any emotion, not even the slightest bit shocked. Noisy noises from other people around It also made Jinyoung feel more like himself.

Jinyoung could only think about what the hell he had done.

How could you suddenly confess your love for Sunbae Minhyun, who doesn't even know his identity, in front of hundreds of people?

At this point, Jinyoung really wanted to have special powers. It would be better to erase everyone's memories as if they had never happened.

Especially with Minhyun sunbae.

It's better to let the seniors look at him as faceless as before, rather than having to remember him in this situation.

But even so, Jinyoung knew that such a thing could never happen.

Because of that, now it should be him who disappears from here.

The bag in Sunho's hand was snatched away by Jinyoung with tears in his eyes. The onlookers ducked for him as Jinyoung ran out directionlessly.

All eyes that followed turned to gossip about the high hopes of an ordinary second-year high school student. Riya confesses her love to a popular person at school.

Meanwhile, the subject, Hwang Minhyun, still stood still and looked away with the feeling that everyone had. They couldn't predict it.

What I thought...it's not like this.

Love scene...

Shouldn't it be romantic like in the movies?....

Indifference, empty eyes

and me

Standing in tears among hundreds of people

Crazy

You must be really crazy, Bae Jinyoung.

After saying that, Jinyoung thought that the whole thing would really end today.

Because right now Minhyun sunbae probably doesn't want to see his face again.

From now on everything will just be in the past for friends. People in school used to have fun playing with each other.

And if you knew it would be like this

Jinyoung would be more restrained.

I won't blurt it out like that.

Let's fight for everything to go back to the way it was a year ago when he first started dancing with that strange senior.

The hallways during lunchtime were bustling with students relaxing at their leisure. Some were chatting on the balcony, some were running around shouting and yelling like teenagers in their formative years, and some were carrying notebooks. The homework piles up everywhere.

“Jinyoung”

“Jinyoung!”

“Hmm, what?”

"I'm distraught. I've already arrived in Busan. Bring the notebook here. I'll hand it out to you."

Park Jihoon, Jinyoung's best friend, called out from the room when he saw his friend, who was carrying a pile of homework books, standing motionless at the door, refusing to come in.

Jihoon didn't need to be told that Jinyoung hadn't drifted all the way to Busan but was drifting close to the end of the fire escape.

Why?

One of the people who liked to sit there during lunch breaks made his heart flutter every time he saw his face.

“Jinyoung can send it here.”

“I already knew.”

“Pretend to walk that way? We'll be friends soon,” Jihoon teased Jinyoung, who gave him half of the book before hesitantly following him into the room.

"I don't want it. I'd rather go watch the seniors practice running in the evening."

“That kind of thing isn't anywhere near.” Jihoon didn't stop teasing as he placed the book on the table at the front of the room.

“Why are you so close? I almost died of a heart attack,” Jinyoung finished speaking, and Jihoon almost immediately let out a laugh at his friend's surprise.

“You forgot something.”

Someone called Jinyoung out of his trance before he had to quickly raise his hand to wipe away his tears, because the person in front of him was the one who made him run away and sit in the middle of the gym alone.

“Senior”

Jinyoung spoke up while Minhyun just stood there looking at him silently. With a look in his eyes that Jinyoung didn't understand, the small figure tried to push himself up even though his eyes were blurry, but Minhyun pressed his shoulder to sit down as usual before he sat down next to him.

Jinyoung's feelings were all mixed up right now. Embarrassed that he fell down the stairs and confessed his love to the senior who was the favorite of the whole school in front of the hundreds of people. Sad that Minhyun senior looked at him with such emptiness, but was secretly happy that he was sitting next to me. At this moment, Jinyoung was confused because he wanted to escape from here, but he didn't want to walk away from here either.

Actually, since Minhyun sunbae came here, Jinyoung wanted to think about himself a little.

But Jinyoung knows. That there's no way it's possible.

Silence enveloped the two of them for a long time before Jinyoung spoke up first.

“I'm sorry. That makes the seniors feel embarrassed.”

“Yes, the more you run out like this, I look even worse,” Minhyun immediately replied.

“Senior, I—”

“And the more you cry like this,” Minhyun reached out and touched Jinyoung's tear-stained cheek with his index finger before continuing, “the more I look like a mean sunbae.”

"is..."

and yes

The more Minhyun does this

Jinyoung's feelings became even more agitated before Minhyun-senpai picked up the notebook he had placed on his lap and opened it without warning.

"Senpai can't read!"

“You have no right to stop me. Because you made other people look bad at me.” Minhyun turned around and scolded.

"but- "

Jinyoung started to argue, but Minhyun turned around and raised his eyebrows with a look that looked like he was giving an order. Until Jinyoung didn't dare protest but turned and muttered in his throat.

"I don't see anything related."

“What?”

“No.”

Jinyoung denies it with a huff when Minhyun turns to ask. before agreeing to sit quietly Let Minhyun explore his notebook at will.

“Annual running competition schedule Running practice schedule Nutrition chart!”

“You are more detailed than the rest of the club,” Minhyun said in a startled voice before turning to look at Jinyoung, who spoke without daring to meet his eyes.

“I want it back, please.”

“On Monday, I will correct the news that it is not Minhyun sunbaenim. I will announce to everyone that I confessed my love to the wrong person.”

“Seniors won't have to suffer because of me.”

“Rules for secret love?” Minhyun continued reading the contents of the notebook as if he hadn't even listened to Jinyoung's words before the owner of the notebook quickly turned around and snatched the notebook back.

But Minhyun couldn't let Jinyoung take it back. He grabbed the small hand. Jinyoung kept it and continued reading without paying attention.

"That is, don't think about it yourself."

“Wrong.” Minhyun took out a pen in his pocket and scribbled over Jinyoung's letters before handing the notebook back and turning his eyes to the junior who had been staring at him for a while.

“I'll tell you something. If you just think about yourself and learn to be complacent. You won't have to sit here and cry dumbly.”

“What do you mean?” the small figure asked with innocence before Minhyun raised his hand to scratch the other person's head, who still couldn't stop looking at him with suspicion.

"You'll know soon."

“What do you know?”

“Come on, now you can go home or else you'll be locked in the gym again,” Minhyun said as he got up and prepared to leave as well before a small figure got up and followed him to speak boldly. Any other

"I have never been imprisoned."

“Stop arguing,” Minhyun scolded.

“And then go home.”

“Yes,” the small figure accepted and unconsciously pressed his lips together.

When he had time to lie down and think about it again, Jinyoung wasn't sure what the events of today were. Are Sunbae Minhyun in the medical tent and Sunbae Minhyun at the gym the same person? He's still confused.

Jinyoung wanted to know that the senior who looked at him with blank eyes among hundreds of people and the gentle senior with him in the gym. Who is the real Minhyun sunbae?

Or was the senior just following him out of pity?

His legs hit the air as if to chase away all the feelings he had right now. Bae Jinyoung, who thought he was too tired today, tried to shake off all thoughts before trying to close his eyes. sleep

Because he knows that if he wants to escape the reality that has happened today, the only way is to enter the world of dreams. But before he could close his eyes, turbulent thoughts and feelings attacked Jinyoung until his head almost exploded.

The night Jinyoung fooled himself that it was a long time ended when he was called down to eat. Jinyoung spent his day off after the sports day drifting by. And I didn't want the day to end because if Jinyoung went to school the next day,

Other people would definitely look at him strangely.

which is certain

that it wasn't much different from what Jinyoung thought

A small figure walked into the school with loud gossip and stares like never before. Each step felt heavy because the people at the school were putting so much pressure on him.

In this situation, Jinyoung thought that he should call someone to accompany him on a walk, but his hand that was reaching for his cell phone in his pocket was grabbed by someone.

“Senior!”

Startled, the small figure hurriedly yanked his own hand away, but Minhyun senior grabbed his hand and held it again.

“What will seniors do? Everyone else is looking at it.”

“Even if I don't do this. He's looking at you anyway,” Minhyun said as he tightened his grip on Jinyoung's as he tried to escape his grip.

“But senior-”

"It's better to let other people look at you because we're holding hands than to have them look at you because of what happened the other day."

His eyes widened and he stopped resisting when he heard the other person speak. Even though he admitted that he was very shocked, it was safe to say that the sentence from a moment ago was not the one that shocked him the most today.

“In the second room, right? I'll go send it right away."

Because of the next sentence

“Oh, hyung?”

It almost made Jinyoung lose his strength to move until he had to forcefully pull him to walk.

“Stand still, walk quickly.”

“Wait a minute, Senpai,” the small figure resisted before asking out of curiosity.

“Why do seniors do this?”

“If you ask like this, it shows that you are telling me to think for myself. You didn't do it at all, did you?”

“And when I told you to learn to be more observant, you didn't do it again?”

“What is this senior talking about?”

His brows furrowed at the other's vague words. He would tell the prospective senior to tell him to think for himself. Why wouldn't he have done what he told him to notice? Why wouldn't he have noticed? But for him to think that Minhyun sunbae would feel the same way as him, isn't that a bit unbelievable?

Instead of saying something that I don't understand like this

It's better to tell him directly.

The small body was pulled halfway. He quickly dragged him up to the school building, but before Minhyun could take Jinyoung to class as he had told him, Minhyun took Jinyoung's hand and led him to stop at the fire escape. Instead, he likes to lounge regularly.

The phone in Jinyoung's pants pocket was taken away by Minhyun's discretion before he pressed something for a while and returned it without a moment for Jinyoung to complain.

“That's your number.”

“You mean the phone number?”

“Running practice schedule. If you want to know, call and ask.”

The little boy turned his phone around in disbelief before finding that his screen was open with a list of phone numbers that had just been saved on his device just now.

Minhyun hyung

The name that the other party has recorded their own number.

“That said, follow along. I don't know how many times I was almost locked in the gym while running to hide from you guys.”

“I'm tired of having to tell the janitor to wait for you to come out first before locking the door, so you know.”

"means that..."

“Doesn't that notebook have a stronger password?”

"Does your senior know about this?"

"um"

“Since when?”

“Since I kept your diary.”

“Does that mean that my confession was already known to seniors?”

“Just... something like that.”

I don't know how many times Jinyoung was attacked because of Minhyun's words again. His little body felt as if he was being teased by Minhyun's senior until his head was spinning. Jinyoung wanted to think about all the events. Get behind yourself and shout it out loud. Let's know and know how to survive.

But in the end, his thoughts returned to the place where this whole thing was so unbelievable, so unbelievable, that he thought it was… impossible.

"is..."

“I'm completely confused.”

"What the seniors said that they knew all along. The seniors told me to think for myself."

"hair.."

“I thought very far ahead.”

“I thought until my head exploded.”

“If you think about it over and over, there will only be the word impossible.”

“I thought until I didn't dare think any more.”

“And now I'm going crazy because I'm so embarrassed I almost want to flee.”

“Standing here, I don't know what it is right now.”

“Senior, can you speak to me directly?”

I was so confused that I had to ask, although I was actually afraid that Minhyun sunbae might think he was a joke, but if everything were to remain vague like this, Jinyoung wasn't okay either.

“I just— ”

“Silly girl,” Minhyun interjected.

“Then what can I tell you? I don't like sitting in places like this.”

“..." Minhyun glanced towards the fire escape before turning to look at him with serious eyes and moving his hands up to hold Jinyoung's shoulders on both sides.

“But I drag my friends to sit here every day.”

“It's the same reason why you used to walk up to the teacher's room to pick up your homework books.”

“Senpai... was about to say...” His head shook gently. It was like the automatic response of the body floating.

“I feel the same as you, Bae Jinyoung.”

and light as a feather, ready to be blown away by the wind at any time

“Then why did you yesterday…”

“I'm sorry...but don't you think I'd be shocked?”

“But at least seniors should—”

“That's why I'm here to make amends for you,” Minhyun interrupted again.

“I won't let you be looked at and gossiped about all alone again like yesterday.”

"I'll come pick you up for lunch at the cafeteria during the day."

Two hands left his shoulders and gently rubbed his head. The sight that was given to him was no longer just empty, but there was something that made his heart beat for no reason.

Jinyoung had no idea that he had been in Minhyun's sight ever since. Even Minhyun himself didn't know until he read the diary that Jinyoung dropped that day that he realized that this child had actually taken up space in his heart. A long time ago

END.

song

Good day 

of

IU

It's a very cheerful heartbreak song. But I really can't let Rae Rae be disappointed. So let him be a little sad and make it colorful, that's enough.

Actually, it's been a while since I posted the fic project. I planned to make it in time, but it didn't make it in time. But no matter what, I wanted everyone to be able to read it, so I set out to. When you're done decorating, hurry up and upload it. Please leave it here.
