Him

Polar.

       The class went quiet at the declaration from the tall delinquent who was standing proudly by his boyfriend. Tears were at the brim of Wonwoo's eyes, that turned into crescents after Mingyu's action. Mingyu looked around the classroom, at the faces of students who were surprised that the two were actually dating. He stepped closer to Jaesuk, and tilted his head, and in an almost mockingly voice said,

"Do you have a problem with that?" 

The girl beside Jaesuk that agreed with him shamefully looked away when Mingyu made eye contact with her. He then returned his gaze to Jaesuk who showed an annoyed expression on his face. The bell for 1st period rang, and everyone dispersed except for Jaesuk and Mingyu who were having a stare down. Neither of them backed down, and Mingyu only took his seat when they saw their teacher walk in. During Lunch, Jaesuk was trying to talk to Mingyu, who was simply ignoring him and only paying attention to the 3 guys in front of him that actually mattered. After school, Mingyu was waiting at the front doors for Wonwoo to be finished in the staff room. Incidentally, Jaesuk was there too, a random guy's arm around his waist. When he saw Mingyu listening to music and leaning on the wall, he told the guy to go on ahead and that he'll join him in a second. Jaesuk jogged up to Mingyu, who heard the footsteps and opened his eyes slowly, and regretted doing so after seeing Jaesuk's face. The other boy flashed a dashing smile, and said

"Hi, Mingyu-ah!" and Mingyu increased the volume of his music, to which Jaesuk pulled out one of his earphones. 

"Mingyu-ah. Why don't you come with me? I'll take you somewhere where with your looks, you can get a lot of guys."

Mingyu gave him a disgusted look, and said sarcastically 

"Sounds like a wonderful offer, but I'll pass."

"Awe, c'mon man. I know you're just like me, I knew from the moment I saw you,"

Mingyu raised a brow in confusion,

"Pardon?"

Jaesuk rolled his eyes, and explained

"C'mon, we both know that Wonwoo's not the only one you're seeing..."

Mingyu ignored the comment,

"I mean, what's so great about him? What do you like about him?", Jaesuk asked.

"His looks are average, but he's a complete nerd. What's a hot as dude like you, doing with someone like him." 

Mingyu started to get irritated, looking at the playboy right in the eyes, daring him to continue talking.

"Ah~. I think I know why..."

Jaesuk smirked, and leaned in closer so that he could whisper into Mingyu's ear.

"He's great in bed, isn't he?" and Mingyu lost his composure. He took the other boy by the collar, and brought his face close to his. Gritting his teeth he said,

"If you don't shut up, I will hurt you." and Jaesuk was surprised at the angry reaction of the slightly taller badboy. 

Mingyu let go of him just in time as Wonwoo turned the corner, saying

"Mingyu-ah!"

And Jaesuk scoffed seeing the boyfriend of the insanely attractive boy walk into the foyer. Mingyu immediately ignored Jaesuk's presence, and walked towards Wonwoo, and took his bag, as per usual. The two passed by Jaesuk, who was still shaken by the scary action of the delinquent. As they walked by, Mingyu gave Jaesuk a glare, then looked forward, walking hand in hand with his boyfriend, out of school. 

"Tch. He'll realize sooner or later, that being in a relationship is just restricting." 

Jaesuk recollected himself and then made his way to the man who was waiting for him in his car. Then, the two went off somewhere to do God knows what. The next day of school was their first day of Gym class. Minghao and Mingyu were extremely excited, and high fived each other like little kids when their teacher announced that today they would be playing basketball. When they were getting changed in the changeroom, some boys were looking at Mingyu and noticed the scars and bruises that were randomly spotted along his abdomen. Wonwoo was looking at the boy who's perfect tanned skin, and toned abs were exposed to others, and he felt kind of jealous. The Class Pres. ended up staring at his shirtless boyfriend, his abs were irresistible, and so Mingyu joked again,

"Are you 100% sure you don't want a picture."

Wonwoo looked away, blushing. Mingyu chuckled and closed his locker as he threw on the gym shirt, and winked at Wonwoo as he walked away. When Gym Class finally began, all the girls were going crazy over Minghao, Mingyu and Jaesuk being in gym uniforms. As always, Mingyu ignored them, and Minghao teased just a tiny bit. His teasing had toned down ever since he fell for a special someone. Jaesuk, however, was completely putting himself out there. If you ever saw this guy in action, you could never have concluded that he's gay. He just liked the attention, and feeling of being liked, which is why he was so hung up on Mingyu, who gave him neither. The teams were split, and incidentally Mingyu and Jaesuk were the captains of each time. On Mingyu's team was, thankfully, the people he actually didn't mind, Minghao, Junhui and Wonwoo. Everyone else on Jaesuk's team were kind of intimidated by the opposing team, and completely depended on Jaesuk. The girls were torn, as to which team they would cheer for. However, since Wonwoo, the person all girls despised and envied, was on Mingyu's team, most of them ended up cheering for Jaesuk. The tip off began with a blow of the whistle from their teacher, and the ball was thrown in the air. Jaesuk and Mingyu were almost the same height, but Mingyu was slightly taller. The two boys jumped and Mingyu got possession of the ball. Minghao immediately ran up the court, and the two's teamwork shined as the ball went from Mingyu to Minghao, back to the taller and already in the basket within 30 seconds of the start of the game. The only sound that resonated in the gym was the ball bouncing on the ground, and the footsteps of Minghao and Mingyu getting back in position. Everyone stared at them with awe, and the girls started squealing, easily switching sides. 

"Wow~. Attractive, and good at sports?" Jaesuk said, and smirked at Mingyu. 

Mingyu ignored the comment, and gave Minghao a low high-five for the assist. 

After team Mingyu scored, Jaesuk decided he would actually try, to show off the difference between him and Wonwoo, and who Mingyu should actually be with. Jaesuk had possession of the ball and was dribbling calmly, making his way to Wonwoo. He began to put on a front, skillfully dribbling between his legs, challenging the seemingly nerdy Class President. Little did he know of Wonwoo's atheltic ability, and was not the only one shocked when Wonwoo stole the ball, dribbled all the way and scored with a layup. Mingyu smirked, and said to Jaesuk,

"I know right, isn't he great?" 

Wonwoo returned to their side of the court and was given a bunch of highfives by his team mates.

As the game continued, Jaesuk became more frustrated at the other team, and his own considering he was the only one scoring. Out of his frustration, when he went for a layup, he was too rough and ended up fouling Wonwoo whose body hit the ground, making him wince in pain. The boy didn't even bother to say sorry, but was stopped by Mingyu,

"Aren't you going to say sorry?"

Jaesuk scoffed, and looked at Wonwoo pathetically,

"He shouldn't have been standing there." 

Mingyu was going to continue dealing with Jaesuk, when Minghao stopped him and gestured towards Wonwoo who was still on the ground. Mingyu walked over, and smiled sweetly, as he extended his hand and helped his boyfriend up. The game restarted with a foul shot from Wonwoo, which he got in. The score was now 45-51, Mingyu's team in the lead. At the moment, Jaesuk and Mingyu were going at a one on one, both at similar level playing skill. Mingyu was dribbling the ball in his left hand, his eyes locked on his opponent who was pretty close, in a defensive position. Jaesuk decided to talk to the taller, not to distract him, but because he was pretty sure Mingyu could walk away and ignore him anywhere else,

"Mingyu-ah."

Mingyu just continued looking,

"Go on 1 date with me."

" no.", he said, while continuing to dribble the ball, thinking of ways to score a point with only 2 minutes left of the game,

"Then why Wonwoo? Is he that great at , because if not, I don't get why you're with him."

Mingyu's anger was buildling up, hearing his boyfriend get disprespected like that. Talking about things that him and Wonwoo have never done, and just simply assuming that Mingyu only liked him for bodily pleasure made Mingyu's blood pressure rise.

"Everyone thinks that we belong together.. And, I think you know it too. Our looks deserve each other. Just one time, I'll show you-" Jaesuk's words were cut short when Mingyu ran into him, fouling him, but going straight for the basket where he ended the game at a score of 45-53. Jaesuk was knocked to the ground, and when Mingyu walked past him, he crouched down, and brought their faces close. Mingyu whispered, his voice low and intimidating,

"This is my last warning. Don't talk about Wonwoo in such a way that makes me want to bash your brains out... You got that?" 

Jaesuk was oddly by the dominance displayed by Mingyu. The taller rised from his crouching position leaving Jaesuk on the ground, stunned. Back in the changeroom, the boys were getting out of their sweaty shirts, except for Wonwoo who was a little self conscious. He was pretty skinny, and didn't have abs like most of the boys there, so he hesitantly took of his shirt, after he put on his new one, and slipped the old one off from underneath. Mingyu was currently in the washroom, so Jaesuk took the opportunity to confront the Class Pres.

"Ashamed of your body?", he said with a scoff.

Wonwoo tried to ignore him, but the comment disturbed him and it showed on his face as he put the gym shirt into his locker. 

"You are really skinny..."

Jaesuk lifted up his shirt, revealing abs, and said,

"Another way I'm superior to you... In what ways are you better than me?"

Wonwoo closed his locker, and gathered his things. He looked Jaesuk in the eye and smirked,

"Well. The one actually dating Mingyu is me."

Then walked away, after putting the jerk back in his place. Mingyu who had heard most of the conversation, passed by Jaesuk with a proud smile,

"He got you there.", and started laughing as he jogged to catch up with Wonwoo. 

Once they arrived back in class, they took their seats and got ready for the next period. The rest of the day went by quickly. At the end of the day, their homeroom teacher came in and said he had an announcement. 

"Kids! As you know, our school's annual Fall Fair is coming up, and since you guys are seniors, we're expecting you to participate in the planning of this eventful night."

All the students were looking at the teacher with disinterest, I mean, no one wants to spend nights at school preparing for something, when they can be hanging out with friends. 

"I'll need a total of 5 people to form a committee for the graduating students, and help out with the fair."

All the students averted their eyes, avoiding eye contact, just incase they got picked. The first 'sacrifice' was someone that the teacher knew couldn't say no, due to his position

"Class Pres! Wonwoo-ssi, come up here and choose the other 4."

Wonwoo hesitantly got up from his seat, and stood at the front of the class.

"U-uh... Do we have any volunteers?"

No one raised their hand, and it was so quiet that you could almost hear the nervous heartbeats of students who were anxious of the random pick. Then, suddenly a hand shot up, catching Wonwoo's attention, and he smiled, excited and happy that someone actually volunteered. But that smile quickly disppeared when he saw who the hand belonged to. Jaesuk had his hand up, a smile on his face, which obviously hid his true intentions. Then, everything happened extremely quickly. After seeing Jaesuk's hand go up, Mingyu looked at the boy, and at his boyfriend, and his shot up, too. Seeing his friend do it, Minghao unconsciously raised his hand, which led to their final volunteer, Junhui. The 5 boys exchanged glances, with their hands up.

"Great! That went a lot smoother than planned. Okay, so you boys, the first meeting will be this Friday. And, I expect you all there, since the fair is only 2 weeks!"

The teacher walked out of the class, since he had finished his announcement. He left just in time as the end of the day bell rang, and the students left the school laughing and smiling, relieved that they didn't get picked to be part of the committee. Fast forward 2 days, and Friday, the day 4 boys were dreading, had come upon them. The day ended and everyone was going home, except for an odd group of 5 boys who were regretfully staying after school hours. Mingyu and Minghao were talking about what they just got themselves into,

"Yah, idiot, why did you raise your hand?"

"I'm the idiot? You didn't have to raise it with me."

"I'm just that good of a friend, be thankful." Minghao argued, causing the 2 to laugh

"Yes, thank you so much for being here, I don't know if I could survive this without you." Mingyu said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

"And you! Why are you here too?" Minghao said, directed at Jun.

"You put up your hand!" he reasoned.

Minghao made a weird face and said,

"T-that's an invalid reason!"

Mingyu looked at the two and smirked at Minghao who hit him in the arm. The 3 were waiting for the 2 other members of this 'committee', who went to the staff office to find out what room they had to go to for the meeting. The odd duo walked in, Wonwoo entering the classroom first, and receiving smiles from everyone. Jaesuk followed shortly after, and no one greeted him. 

"Room 108" Wonwoo said to the 3 boys who got up from their seats, and started following the 2 boys. During the walk, the only people that were talking was Jun and Minghao, at the back. Meanwhile, at the front, Jaesuk stood in between Mingyu and Wonwoo, who Mingyu paid no attention to, and Wonwoo did the same. At the meeting, they found out that they were in charge of manning a booth at the fair. So the 5 got together, and finally agreed on the game after a long, excruciating hour. The booth they would be in charge of was the Ring Toss, and they would spend the next couple of meeting working on posters promoting the fair, and their booth. After the first meeting, Mingyu decided to confront Jaesuk,

"Why did you join this stupid committee?"

"Because I love the school community-"

"Cut the bull." Mingyu said, searching for Jaesuk's true motive. 

Jaesuk smirked,

"How about you, hm? Scared I'll do something to your little boyfriend?"

"Wonwoo would never let you do anything." Mingyu said, with a satisfied look on his handsome face. 

"I wouldn't be so sure... I'm just as attractive as you, if not, more. Both of your personalities clash so much, that who says he doesn't just like you for your looks?" Jaesuk said. And Mingyu became a little flustered,

"Relationships don't necessarily have to involve feelings. If their looks and body get the job done, then...", he smirked at Mingyu and walked away. 

Mingyu clenched his face, and wanted to punch Jaesuk so badly, but contained his anger and ended up just going to the base where he used one of the walls as his punching bag. Not once has he questioned Wonwoo, but Jaesuk's words made him slightly worried. He thought about it, and the more he did, the more it stood out that they really are complete opposites. The tall boy stopped punching, and laid on the couch and closed his eyes. When he did, his anxiousness got the best of him and he started thinking about all the times that may support Jaesuk's words. Wonwoo said he didn't believe opposites attract, so then why was he dating Mingyu? They didn't have much interaction, but he didn't run away at the kiss they shared, like he did with Jun. He began overthinking, and every little thing, like the moments Wonwoo had stared at his shirtless body, came to have so much more significance. The thing that stood out most to Mingyu was when they were talking about what they liked about each other. Mingyu knew that he sincerely liked Wonwoo, so he couldn't really answer why he liked him. But, Wonwoo knew immediately, and Mingyu began thinking that it was because it was nothing really deep, just appearance. Mingyu shook his head and roughly ruffled his hair in frustration. He decided he was overthinking, and to have a little more faith in Wonwoo. So, he took a nap at the base like he usually did. 

At the next committee meeting, Mingyu was late, so everyone decided to just start working on the posters without him. Jun and Minghao went to go get some paint, leaving Wonwoo and Jaesuk alone. 

"You know, I think Mingyu is really head over heels for you." Jaesuk said, looking at Wonwoo with a sweet, deceiving smile.

Wonwoo kept his eyes on the poster paper,

"I don't need you telling me that.", he replied coldly.

"Ouch," Jaesuk said while gripping his heart in fake pain, "I think I know why he likes you though." 

"That's weird, because not even he, himself knows." the Class President replied.

Jaesuk smirked at the attitude, "No, I mean, I think I understand why he likes you."

Wonwoo stopped sketching, and looked at Jaesuk, whose face was getting increasingly closer.

Mingyu jogged into the school, and ran to the class that he knew the meeting was taking place. The door was already open, and as Mingyu got closer, he saw something that he wish he could erase from his mind. Standing at the doorway, he saw a clear view of Wonwoo's lips pressed against Jaesuk's, locked in a kiss. The two broke apart and immediately Wonwoo noticed Mingyu,

"Mingyu-ah," Wonwoo's voice said, almost desperately.

"I know why you're with him now, Mingyu... He's one Hell of a good kisser."

Mingyu stayed silent at the words, and at the scene he had just witnessed. The only thing going through his mind right now was,

"Really, Wonwoo?, he didn't want to accuse his boyfriend but he couldn't help it,

"Him?"

Chapter 36: Hai Zen! I spent a few days to finish this story. And I realllyyyyy love this!!! How the story goes sweetly, then comes the problem that makes me a little scared when Mingyu fights. I like the portrayal of Wonwoo's character. It doesn't feel forced, just flows naturally. And I'm reading this in 2022 which made it easy for me to match their young and current images. Lastly, thank you for presenting a beautiful story!!
And, I was wondering where is Seungkwan? I didn't find him in every chapter. Just curious.
