Chapter 58 - The bitterness (2)

          "What are You talking About?" The talks were interrupted by none other than the topic of interest.

          "Oh! Hyung!" Han smiled looking at him.

          Lee know was waiting outside the door of 00s classroom. But Han wasn't there.

          "Where were you? Have you eaten?" Lee know asked, brushing younger's hairs back.

          "Ah! We had something to discuss!" Han replied. Moving his hands along with Yoona back and forth like swing.

          "Oh! Matter of interest there is, I guess!" Lee know said with smirk.

          "There isn't!" Yoona giggled.

          "But what were you talking about?" Lee know asked curiously tugging his hands back in his pocket. Always looking marvelously pretty.

          "You!" Han winked and then laughed. Followed by Yoona.

          Lee know got embarrassed and with his red ears, "Ah! You too!" He chuckled looking at Yoona. "Wait I'll let it out of your closed mouth after school ends!" He chewing on some words tried to scare those two. But the two of them knowing his nature laughed it out.

           All the things were noticed by a person trying to look out from the window. Nothing that bothered him, more than Yoona holding hands and swinging them back and forth with a sweet smile on her face. Seungmin moved back to his place. 

            "Ah! Why it's always like this. Anyone can hold her hand but when I try it, it just never happens! Why!! Have I get hold her hand? No! I don't even remember! If I ever? The time only when I was leading her down from stairways. Yes I remember, those cold hands which were anxious. And then those warm hand I was holding through gloves while hiking! Ah! I never hold her hand! Being this close? Always sitting side by side! Her wrist? I hold onto it so many time. Do I love that? Yes I love holding her wrist. But I do love holding hands. If she ever let me hold them."

          Seungmin sat their shaking his head.

          "Is something wrong Seungmin?" One of his freinds asked.

          "No~ it's that!" Seungmin was about to spoil the secret.

          "Aaaa!" The boys screamed. Looking how impatient Seungmin was. The calm and quite boy being this turbulent is always a noticeable thing.

          "What? The person you did this for didn't praised you?" One of the boys teased.

          "Shut up! I just wanted to have change in style! Nothing else!" Seungmin replied.

          "Hey Ahn! What you think of his new hairstyle?" His freinds of course, they don't do anything more than teasing.

          "Um good!" Ahn knowing their habits replied.

          Yoona entered holding hands with Han. And everyone noticed it.

          "If only it wasn't Yoona!" One girl exclaimed.

          "Ah! F**k I can't even tease them for that!" One boy yelled and the group gathered to tease Seungmin was somehow disappointed.

          "Where's Hyunjin though?" Someone asked and everyone started looking for him.

          Bong looked quite when Hyunjin's topic suddenly popped up, lowering her eyes. She wanted to know about Hyunjin, but how can she ask. He had alot of girls around him. Is he with some of those idiots?

          "Where's Hyunjin Yoona?" A boy from back asked.

          "Ah he is on way!" Answered Yoona who gracefully made Han sit at his place, as if he was a royal princess.

          Han turned on chair looking for what the group was discussing.

          "What you guys were talking about?" Asked Yoona making her way to stand beside Bong.

          "Ah, we thought! The load Seungmin has taken over his shoulder! About, impressing someone!" One of the boy answered pressuring each word as his sentence ends.

          "Impressing!" Yoona laughed.

          "He didn't even need to impress!" The another girl chuckled.

          "That's what I'm saying!" Yoona laughed which made Seungmin chuckle. He threw his head in air shaking. Something he didn't expected.

          Hyunjin in time entered. Making his way to sit, He sat on his place where Yoona and Bong were standing. Giving him space, Yoona rested her hand over his shoulder. And someone wished if he could be there in place of Hyunjin.

          Yoona carefully placed her hand so that she won't reveal the amazing artwork of Felix to be seen by others.

          "Ya, Yoona! What you think which hairstyle suits him most?" The boy sitting next to Seungmin asked.

          Ahn was sitting at her desk. Just overhearing the conversation. And this question picked her interest.

         "Well he looks good in all!" Yoona replied.

         "But still! We all were talking about it earlier. What you think tell us!" He insisted.

         "Well!" Yoona thought about if for few seconds. "I don't know exactly! But once Felix told me he calls it 4/6 bangs. You know!" She turned to Hyunjin. Messing his hair.

          "So you have like medium length and you part hairs having slight bangs that really looks awesome. Somehow length like this!" She putting up Hyunjin's long hair wanting to get desired length. And everyone laughed.

          "Ya, try on Seungmin!" Someone said.

          Yoona paused and so does Seungmin. They meant to ignore each other. And if it wasn't the case Yoona might have walked freely towards him.

           "Well these one looks good too! Shaggy permed hair isn't it that called?" Yoona asked looking at Seungmin.

           "I don't know!" Seungmin shrugged. Giving aura he don't want to talk. "Jeongin did this!"

           "Ya try it out!" The boy sitting beside Seungmin yelled.

           Hyunjin pushed Yoona knowing what he was doing. Putting her in front of her crush as always what he do.

          Yoona first hesitated. And then walked closer. Seungmin not looking at her.

          Touching his bangs which looked soft but frizzy too. "Actually this looks good!" She smiled.

          "What I was saying is, parting it in midway or say side way too!" Yoona started removing those bangs of his from his forehead. Leaving his bare forehead reveal. The breath that warmed up. Her and his too!

          "The length is perfect too! It can be settled or messy! That will really look fine!" She bent in order to get the clear view of them. As the hairs were little stubborn. Jeongin had did them perfectly that they won't settle.

          First she hesitated but then she loved how his hairs felt so soft to her fingers. And forgot about the ignoring thing. Sometimes in between touching his soft skin too, as how she always mess them up. Seungmin let her try from the first time.

          "Ah, it isn't settling. They are well settled!" She ruffled the hair and went again to separate them. Seungmin stopped her hand from moving holding tight onto her wrist. Looking directly into her eyes.

          And the aura he gave! Yoona felt weak, she wanted to move back but she was frozen. And everyone too, was tensed! Did they finally crossed the limit of teasing Seungmin?

          Seungmin was glaring at her without blinking. As if the moment paused, no one moved from there place. Yoona blinked first. Not knowing the uncertainty in Seungmin's behaviour.

          "That's why I wasn't doing! He scares the soul out of me!" Yoona shrugged off his hand and broke the eye contact.

           Ahn laughed from her place, "I told you he don't love being played with his hairs!"

          "Ah!" Yoona walked standing beside Hyunjin and sighing. Seungmin who was quite, was giving his all attention to Yoona.

          "But it's all okay when it's Yoona!" The boy sitting beside him laughed patting on Seungmin's shoulder walking to his sit.

          Seungmin kept looking at Yoona.

Seungmin's POV,

         Right after leaving with Lee know Hyung I found that, those three had something going on. I wanted to walk back, but I felt as if I wasn't welcomed there. So I left. And Hyung was giving me a beautiful company.

         Sometimes I love being with Lee know Hyung. As if he gives me the comfort I need the most. He teases me, he plays with me. He takes on jokes without reacting, that's sometimes I don't like.

          He dropped me to the classroom and waving bye he moved further turning back once. Probably looking for his duty. Yes Han! He won't even talk properly if Lee know isn't there.

           Well it's a long story. Han is such a mistarious character. If he would have been an ethical creature, he would be the one, no one ever knew. But Lee know brings him back to the world. He always tries to open up him to the outside world. And now he being in our group makes him feel at ease. Well same goes with Han too. Being one to open up Hyung to the world.

           I walked in the room and I saw they all already were warmed up. That means it's something they planning on.

[ Few minutes before, just classroom warming up! No one's pov.

         "You won't trust me right!" Boy1 screamed.

         Everyone in the room started glaring at him. And he sat down back. A cluster of 6-7 boys sitting beside Seungmin's table waiting for Hyunjin to enter. It was always the same. Hyunjin, Seungmin and these boys would discuss about something. But today the absence of Hyunjin and Seungmin made these boy discusss about something they should not.

          "Ya! I know Yoona can, but Seungmin is tough too!" Boy2 spoke in whisper looking at Ahn.

          "You do have feelings that you have commited a crime!" Boy3 spoke.

          "I can place a bet!" Boy1 said.

          "Me too!" Boy2 said with excitement.

          "Okay! Let any act of Seungmin, any act! If it looks unusual, we win the best!" Boy 1 spoke with confidence.

          "Yep! Let's go with touching his bangs!" Boy 2 speak.

          "He let her touch them!" Boy 4 spoke.

          "That means we already win!" Boy 2 said.

          "Umh!" Boy 3 spoke.

          "Time is different for different things. Let's witness it today!" Boy 3 explained.

          "I place a bet he won't let her touch!" Boy 3 placed the bet of 1000 won!

          "I'm against you! He will let her!" Boy 2 spoke.

          "I'm with him!" Boy 1 exclaimed.

          "I won't any! I'm not getting in your game!" Boy4 spoke.

          "Me too!" The boy over Nintendo said.

          "Weren't you the one said Yoona likes Seungmin?" Boy 3 asked.

          "So? Does this have to happen today and now! They can do whatever they want. You guys are just being pathetic!" The boy5 replied.

          "Ya!" Boy 3 was about to yell when Seungmin entered the room.

]

      "I sense something is coming but then, I can't stop it from happening. They made my sit empty as I walk and smile as if it was nothing going on earlier." - Seungmin thought.

        "Ya Seungmin-ah! You didn't tell me for whom you did this!" Boy sitting beside him (that is Boy1 from about conversation) patting his shoulder asked.

        "Idiots! Didn't I told you I want to change my looks. I looked like a nerd with that hairstyle!" Seungmin replied.

        And the conversation was almost heard by everyone as the interest about for whom Seungmin did this was on peak.

        "Like you will look good with other!" Another boy teased him.

        "Well don't you think perm makes you look more like child?" Another boy replied. "Like you know, it's good! But you look more nerd!" He laughed.

         Seungmin laughed on it. "Ah really? Then I should keep this hairstyle for life!"

         "Exactly. The nerd should have nerd hairstyle!" Another boy teased him and Seungmin slapped his shoulder in fun.

          Another few hairstyles were now being discovered, on whom which hairstyle will be suited.

          "Where the **** Hyunjin is! He knows names of these. I'm sure!" One of them exclaimed.

          "Ya! Aren't you the one who always changes them! You should know! And your tone!" Seungmin who was looking outside the window turned back.

          "Ah!" Screaming out loud that boy sat down.

          "Ah Yoona is back!" One of them diverting everyone's gaze said.

          "If it only wasn't Yoona!" One of the boy replied.

Seungmin's POV

           They started talking rubbish. Again wanting Yoona to react for it. And I knew it from long. They all have doubts, about us! Which I wanted earlier to happen, but as if I know now, I just want to protect the fact. That she likes me. Like she will get hurt if someone says it in front of her.

           Maybe because of Ahn? It seems so much confusing even if isn't that wrong.

          And I found they ask her to make my hairs. I was unsure what they were planning. I don't know what they are planning. As she moved closer my heartbeat went crazy.

           I wanted to look at her but couldn't. And then again she started akwardky putting my hairs up. She was akward, I know for sure. And how she can't be. I said to ignore me. She resisted. But it will be too sudden if she refused it now. I know that too, I never said no to her. Even if I, I don't remember.

       She first started explaining it. I wanted to know what she meant by it. My frizzy hair won't go her way. She tried and then her fingers those started untangling them. Sometimes brushing my forehead. I wanted to look at her. She wasn't having any idea what she was doing to me.

        She wasn't just playing with my hairs, she was making me want to hug her. I don't know what she meant by this sweet touches, But it was call for me. The care, the love, the softness. If I could I would have hugged her in an instant.

          I could feel my body resisting my mind's command. I have to keep calm. I looked up, her eyes having no idea. I took them, I commanded them to stop but she didn't. And I had to stop her. Or else I would have ended up kissing her this time.

          She stopped as I held onto her wrist. She still having her eyes locked with mine. And everyone else too were quite. What was this about? Was my actions were readable?

          I let go of her. My hands clinched to her. Not wanting her to go. Her heartbeats I could feel. If, if only I could have pulled her and made her embrace me. Give me all the love she could. Just to me!

          I couldn't let go of my eyes that kept staring at her. Calling her! Don't leave! That's what I all wanted to shout! Don't leave.

Yoona's POV.

          He held onto my wrist so tight. I felt if he will dig into my hands. And his eyes that kept locked on. I don't know, my eyes didn't wanted to move. When I screamed don't look at him don't look at him. His eyes that are always soft looking were different from how they are always.

         He was angry. I knew that for sure! He didn't wanted me to touch! I'm done for! He first said to ignore and now here, what I'm doing is playing with his hair.

         His hairs were so soft. I losed my composure once I felt his touch. His bare forehead which makes him look more angry.

         "Pervert boy!" Bong exclaimed.

         "Eh?" I asked. Still feeling Seungmin's gaze.

         "I saw in tiktok! That were you talking about!" Bong exclaimed.

         "Ah ah! That!" I remembered. Well what I said was somehow similar.

         "Well yeah! But actually I prefer cool. And sweet. That one is so hot!" I exclaimed. .

         And Seungmin's eyes which already left staring at me, started staring at me again.

          I am sure he will kill me today!

Seungmin's pOV

         "Hot?" Did she just said, "Hot?" How she knows this world. She is supposed to say this word.

         "Ah exactly!" Bong exclaimed.

         "Seungmin is a soft boy!" She smiled looking at me. And I found I wasn't smiling from the time she left. Not from the time she touched me.

          I looked at Yoona and she diverting her gaze from mine as I looked again at her.

          "Well this cute permed hairs are cute too!" Yoona said laughing little.

          "If these were blonde!" She added. And as she said she looked at me. Dropping her head to one side, studying my features. And I unintentionally smiled. Well I needed that! Or else she will think I'm angry.

          "You want me to make it blonde?" I asked. Forgetting I was not supposed to speak a word to her. Not in front on anyone. Stop interacting.

          "I didn't said that! I was just saying these will look good with blonde!" She said. And everyone too started again giving their advice.

           I kept looking at her. I don't know why! Can she come closer once again? Can she? This time I'll not leave my chance. She resting her hand over Hyunjin's shoulder kept talking.

           The teacher came and we all went to our respective places.

            I kept looking for her in between. And she not having any idea she did to me.

     

Time skip...

             "Wait near Hyunjin's car"

       Messaged recieved by 4 persons. And they shared look again. Changbin texted those four.

       "I can't now! I've classes. And I'm bound to keep promise!" Seungmin replied.

       "I'm in!" Yoona replied.

       "I'm in!" Hyunjin replied.

       "I'm in!" Han replied.

       "Ok!" Changbin replied.

        The school was over the four of them walked out the game. Seungmin greeting goodbyes to them. Lee know too joined who was waiting outside the gate.

         "Chan Hyung won't notice?" Han asked.

         "He have some business with some teacher. He got called!" Lee know replied.

         "You coming with me, follow!" He gestured to Han and Han greeted farewells.

         Yoona and Hyunjin walked to his car. Only to find a person leaning on his car texting someone with smile.

          "Felix, what you doing here?" Yoona asked running to him.

          "Ah, Hyung called me!" Felix greeted with her hug and gave a quick look to the boy standing there.

          Yoona getting away from hug looked at Felix's face which didn't lit up after seeing Hyunjin. Felix noticed Yoona.

          "Hi!" With a fake smile he greeted.

          "Hi!" Recieved the same reaction from other.

          "Was I late?" Changbin came tapping Hyunjin's shoulder.

          "No!" Hyunjin smiled.

          "Give me keys, I'll drive!" Changbin asked and Yoona went to sit in front.

          Changbin opened the car and the two love birds sat at back seat.

          "I'll be treating you guys. I've discussed the plan with Lee know. Now it's you three. Jeongin too have classes. So I'll tell them tomorrow!" Said Changbin giving stares to the ones sitting in back.

          "Is something wrong?" Changbin asked.

          "Why? What?" Felix asked in surprise.

          "No, you two seems quite!" Changbin said.

          "Ah it's not like that!" Felix laughed awkwardly.

          "It's just there no topic left to talk!" Hyunjin said with some funny tone. A quick reply to Changbin and a taunt to Felix.

          "You two don't even seem to sit close. Why is there space between you when I always see you two clinged together!" Changbin laughed.

          "Ah it's nothing Hyung. It's just!" Placing a hand over Hyunjin's shoulder Felix laughed. "Today is little hot to cling!"

           Hyunjin flinched with sudden Felix's moment. But Changbin was looking at them. He smiled not wanting to show how akward it was.

          Few moments passed and Hyunjin could feel finally Felix touching him without hesitation. He too got relaxed. Resting his head on Felix's shoulder he threw his weight over him. Felix chuckled. Taking him in embrace.

          He rubbing on bare wound he made trying to hide it too, was caressing him. Changbin looked through the mirror and smiled.

           Taking them to the restaurant, treating them Changbin told the plan about Chan's birthday. Chan likes to spend money on others and so, everyone will have to ask him to treat. That will be the only way he will love your gifts.

           Reaching home, Yoona completed her daily tasks before her tutor calls her. And in no time she recieved the call.

           "So, today! We will... "

           Not wasting another moment on talks Seungmin started tutoring her.

            The day of Chan's Birthday.

         "Happy birthday Hyung!" Changbin's message.

"Happy birthday Hyung" Lee know.

"Happy birthday old man" Seungmin.

"Happy birthday my dad" Han.

"Happy birthday my Credit Card" Jeongin.

"Happy birthday Hyung" Yoona.

"Happy birthday Chan Hyung" Hyunjin.

"Happy Birthday my brother" Felix.

"Woah!" Chan replied.

"All at same time?"

"Yes" ×8

"Chan Hyung buying a restaurant for us!" Han.

"Chan Hyung buy karaoke for us!" Seungmin.

"Chan Hyung buy me a house!" Felix.

"If there's house buy me too!" Jeongin.

"It wasn't this we decided!" Changbin.

Chan was laughing with demands they had.

"Ya! Isn't the one having birthday asks for gifts?" Chan replied.

"So you want any?" Lee know replied.

"Chan Hyung buy me phone!" Hyunjin.

"I can buy you that!" Chan replied.

"Then Hyung buying iPhone to all!" Felix replied with laughing emoji.

"Hyung I want galaxy!" Seungmin replied.

"Mee too!" Jeongin.

"How come all sudden I buy 8 phones?" Chan replied.

"You ask?" Felix replied.

"You were the one who said you can afford!" tagging the message Felix replied.

"I can only buy one at a moment. I promise when I can afford I'll to you all!" Chan replied.

"Hyung, treat us!" Yoona replied.

"Another day?" Chan asked.

"No today!" Seungmin replied.

"Today" × 7

"Okay okay!" Chan replied.

"Time and place decide!" Chan.

         The chat went for an hour before everyone's decided to go restaurant after school.

Timeskip....

          "Ije uri tang tang tang" Hyunjin went to the corner seat.

          "Ne sonnim!" Han moved as fast as he could to sit beside him.

          Lee know followed him. Felix walked all round to sit beside Hyunjin. Who haven't talked to him from days. Yoona sat beside him and Seungmin besider her. Jeongin sat beside him leaving place for today's arranger, Chan and Changbin.

          Everyone went through the menu to find if anything else can be ordered. And everyone was happy about it.

          Unless someone failed to keep quite.

         "Did our love birds quarrel?" Lee know asked giving a look at Hyunjin.

         "Did we had?" Hyunjin laughed playing with his hair.

         Han tugged his hand behind him.

         "If you call us couple! We just confessed!" Han answered.

         "I love you Hyunjin!" Han said facing to Hyunjin.

         "Eww!" Hyunjin made a disgusting face.

         "But I guess I love you too!" He laughed.

         "Now kiss!" Changbin screamed.

         "Han!" Fake crying Yoona called.

         "You betrayed me!" Sniffing a little.

         "Yoona-yah!" Felix held her hand.

         "Don't tell me he played with you too!" Felix too started fake crying.

         Lee know pulled Han closer as he wanted to get upper hand.

         "Dare you?" He pressed his hands on Han's shoulder.

         "Ya!" Han screamed. Scaring a little. "I'm breaking with you all!" He said.

         "Right Jagi~!" He looked at Lee know. And Lee know returned the smile.

         "Now this sounds good!" He laughed.

         Jeongin shaking his head concentrated on his food. Chan enjoying their company laughed. The further talks went ahead. All of them sharing what they bought for Chan. Chan was happy to have them.

          "Hyung! Here!" Yoona handed bunch of bracelets.

          "But you just gave the gift Yoona!" Asked Chan. Yoona gifted a silk black shirt asking Changbin for his fit.

          "It's not gift for your birthday. It's something I wanted to give from so long!" Yoona replied. Looking at Seungmin. "Right!" She asked smiling.

         Seungmin who was trying his best not to engage in her talks finally lost. He smiled to her nodding. Taking out bracelet from his pocket.

         "What you have already?" Jeongin asked  looking at Seungmin putting it in hand.

         "Um!" Seungmin smiled.

         "Let me pass them!" Felix took few of them passing everyone.

         "Um!" Yoona smiled.

         "Seungmin your's seem warned out!" Jeongin replied.

         "When did you bought them?" Lee know asked pointing out something.

         "A month ago or so!" Yoona smiled putting her bracelet on. Which was helped by Seungmin.

         "I didn't get chance to give it to all!" She laughed.

         "It's preety and it's blue!" Felix smiled.

         "Um, your favourite!" Hyunjin smiled looking at him and then diverting his gaze to Yoona.

         "Yes!" Yoona answered.

          The sweet treat ended Chan gifting each of them a hoodie he bought. Of same colour, black! He was unsure about it but he finally gave it to them. And his children loved it.

          The days passed by! Seungmin and Yoona having less and less talks. Trying to ignore at their best. In class they won't talk. In group, a little. Seungmin was going good on his track as Yoona started feeling lonely these day. She was feeling how badly he was involved in her daily life. How bad she misses him. How bad she wants him.

          Seungmin too had the same feelings. He was lost these days. His mom noticed it too. He lost his reason to smile. He used to smiled during the tution class he had with Yoona. She still sounding always the same. But soon it too stopped talking.

          Having cut off connection like this, Yoona was confused. What to talk to a person who wants her to ignore him. And Seungmin felt it. He wanted to make her feel his presence. And seeing Yoona getting detached from him, burnt his heart inside.

          Hyunjin and Felix completely avoiding each other. Felix didn't come home on weekend. And Hyunjin stopped playing daily games with him too. Felix questioning himself on what he did!

          Hyunjin scared of what Felix wants to be with him. Was he this mad because of one sweet jealousy? Hyunjin loved how he got jealous. But didn't expect Felix to cut off ties like this.

          All the sudden that bitterness spread between the couples. That was visible in group. Hyunjin stopped smiling much and talking with everyone too. He started looking gloomy which were seen by everyone. Hyunjin was loosing his charm. And so was the other three!

           "Even if the stars won't move,

            There won't be any end of the day!

            You will stay there waiting for me

            But there won't be any sunset today!"

- Lee know! ( from story of course. He is potato poem writer!)

     "Wow Hyung! That's bitter!" Han exclaimed having his cheesecake stuffed in mouth!

      "Ah right!" Replied Lee know throwing the page again.
