"What's wrong with me?"
Minhyuk thought and went to his room.
He got out a dress-shirt from his wardrobe. He checked himself in the mirror.
"How am i looking? It's nice. Will Jiwoo like it?"
Minhyuk thought to himself. But then realization hit him hard and another thought came to his mind.
"What the-- Why am i getting worked up over my clothes? Why do I care about Jiwoo liking them? It's not like i'm her boyfriend or something. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'll just get ready."
Then he got out a pair of jeans and went to take a shower. After he was done with the shower, he got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Minhyuk dried his hair and applied a moisturizer to his skin, then he applied his lip-balm and was about to wear his clothes when the door burst open....
In Jihan's room :-
Jiwoo finished the breakfast and went to get ready. She quickly took a shower, wore new clothes and took her bag with her. As she got out of the room, she ran downstairs and was greeted by Jaekyung, who was sitting on the couch, using his phone.
"Good morning! What are you doing?"
"Morning! I'm waiting for Minhyuk. He's not ready yet. How was your sleep? Are you feeling better?"
He asked with concern visible in his eyes even though he had a joyful tone. Jiwoo smiled.
"Oh i had a nice sleep. I haven't slept like that in a long time. And yes, i feel better. A lot. Thankyou!"
Jaekyung smiled in return.
"You know what, i'll call him downstairs."
Jiwoo said and Jaekyung just shrugged his shoulders. Jiwoo ran upstairs and went to Minhyuk's room. She was so excited to scare him with her sudden bursting in. She immediately slammed the door open and regretted it.
Her cheeks turned red from what she saw in front of her. She immediately got out and slammed the door shut.
"I'm sorry!!"
She shouted from outside. Minhyuk still trying to process what just happened, got into his senses after a few good minutes.
"It's-- It's okay!"
Jaekyung from downstairs heard their shouts and asked from downstairs,
"Is everything all right, guys?"
"We're fine!"
Jiwoo replied from upstairs. Then Minhyuk got out of his room, completely dressed. Jiwoo turned to look at him and she got more embarrassed.
"H-hey! I'm-- so sorry!"
Jiwoo stuttered.
"Hey! it's okay. You didn't know."
"No! It's my fault. I should've knocked."
"I told you already. It's okay! Let's go. We're getting late now."
After their conversation, they went downstairs, still red from embarrassment.
As they were quietly heading outside, Jaekyung noticed the awkwardness between them and their red faces as well. But ufff! Man got the wrong idea.
"Are they hiding something? Whatever, they're a good match though."
Jaekyung thought to himself. The university's very close to their house. As they were walking, they were silent. No one talked, not even bickering.
Jaekyung rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Ok guys! Tell me! What's wrong? What're you hiding?"
Both Jiwoo and Minhyuk stopped on their tracks and looked at him with wide eyes. They glanced at eachother and then an awkward smiled found its way to their lips.
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing."
Both of them said at the same time.
"Yeah" Jaekyung said while side eyeing them. "Whatever. I'm leaving you two for now. But you'll tell me..... soon"
Then they started to walk again. They enetered their major's building and they were shocked to see that the hallway was empty today which might mean that everyone was in their classes. The three of them looked at eachother. They started to walk towards their class almost too silently when,
*Coughs*
They stopped on their tracks, looked behind only to see the principal standing behind them, with a furious expression on his face.
"In the office, Now! "
In the princie's office :-
The three of them standing beside eachother, head hung low, were getting a nice scolding from the principal and the teacher who was incharge of their class, was present there as well.
"That's not acceptable. You have to drop this habit of late coming." And blah blah!
The principal continued his lecture for who knows how long and the three of them just stood there, with their heads hung low, listening to him.
....
They got out of the principal's room. Trying to straighten their necks, which were hurt because of hanging low for too long.
(More like cracking them bones)
"Oh my goddd! Mah neck's hurtin' man."
Jaekyung said with the same nonchalant tone of his. Minhyuk was quiet. Jiwoo glared at him and slapped his arm causing him to hiss.
"What was that for?"
"You said the teachers love you. You never get in trouble for being late. What about now?"
"I didn't say it for you. It was sincerely meant for me. I told you to look for your own ways to avoid this problem."
Both of them bickered infront of the principal's office, not moving an inch from there. Jaekyung, for the second or maybe third time in just a little time with them, rolled his eyes.
"You both realize where you're standing? Unless you wanna go back into that room."
They stopped bickering, still glaring at each other though. They huffed angrily.
"Whatever!"
Both of them said at the same time, going to their class *finally* still glaring and Jaekyung walking behind them like a mother of two, slowly shaking his head like he was already done for the day even though it wasn't even a half day yet.
