Chapter twenty one
The first ... foreverWho is a man that is not angry?
- William Shakespeare
Minho was tossing and turning on his bed. He couldn’t sleep as his mind was in turmoil. The pictures sent by Yuri were replaying in his mind over and over again. He still remembers the phone conversation he had with the older girl.
“ Noona … Where did you get those pictures from? And who was the man?”
“My poor Minho Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!… I took the pictures myself not 10 minutes ago outside of school. You’ve been duped by your little girlfriend, darling”
“But do you know the man?”

It was indeed an emergency. Slowly, he made his way from his balcony towards the tree house. Once there, he checked for the eleventh time to see whether the coast was clear for him to crossover. When he was really sure that everybody was asleep, he carefully made his way towards Sulli’s balcony.
Sulli saw Minho making his way towards her and her heart started to beat faster. One; it was because she was reminded of her own fall and two; his agility was taking her breath away. He was wearing a checkered blue pajama tie pants and a thin white v-neck short sleeved fitting tee. It was nothing out of the ordinary but on Minho, it was something.
