Five: What I want To Say
Keep MeSeunghoon was lounging on the sofa in front of the television. It was a Saturday with no classes and Seunghoon wants to
laze around. Besides, The first week of classes were already so tiring. But much to Seunghoon's disappointment, there were
no TV shows worth watching at the moment. Luckily for him, his cellphone vibrated indicating that there is a text message for
him. Seunghoon happily unlocks his phone and sees that it was from Jinwoo. He's asking for Seungyoon's number. Seunghoon
smiled. The text message was so cute just like Jinwoo with all the emojis. He sends Jinwoo the phone number of Seungyoon
without a doubt that his friend Yoonie will probably kill him then thank him later on.

"How the hell did you get my number?" Seungyoon groaned, scratching his head. He frowned at the sunlight going through his
window's blinds. "Um... I asked for it from Seunghoon-ah." Jinwoo replies, all bright and cheery. Seungyoon wonders how does
this kid manage to be all happy at 8 am in a day without classes. "I will kill him in his sleep. Why did you call anyway?"
Seungyoon asks, irritation clear in his voice. "Ahh~ It's about you teaching me in math?" Jinwoo slowly says. Seungyoon
remembers Seunghoon's idea. He will definitely kill his friend one of these days. "You woke me up just to remind me of
that?" Seungyoon aks again, this time irritation is turned into anger. "Did I? I-I'm sorry if I woke you... I'll just hang up. I'm
sorry. Bye, Seungyoon-ssi. I'm really sorry." Jinwoo stumbles over his words before Seungyoon hears that Jinwoo did end
the call. Seungyoon fops on his bed again, groaning some more. He needs some sleep. He pulls in his blankets some
more towards himself and snuggled against his pillows. He closed his eyes.A minute later, he got up. Stomping on his
way to the window. He pulled up his blinds and squinted angrily at the sunlight. He mae his way to his bed again, this
time not to reclaim his sleep but to get his phone. He lookd at his past caller and calld him back. "H-hello? Seungyoon-ssi?"
Jinwoo answered. "Come here at 9. I'm just gonna eat breakfast. Bring your notes too. I don't take notes." Seungyoon said,
he's quite surprised how soft his tone is. He frowned at that. "Really? You mean you're gonna teach me?" Jinwoo sounded
like he can't really believe what is happening. Seungyoon pinched the bridge of his nose. He's about to snap at Jinwoo. But
he did not. And Seungyoon is still wondering why. "Yes. Just come here, okay?" Seungyoon sighs. "Yay~! Thank you
Seungyoon-ssi! This means a lot. Thank you. I'll be there at around 9. See you~" Jinwoo cheerfully says and Seungyoon
hangs up with his lips twitching upwards.

"Where are you going?" Taehyun asks, his eyes still fixated at the boring telly with boring shows on. "I'll be taking up lessons
from Seungyoon-ssi for math." Jinwoo smiles. Taehyun looks at him and groans. "Why?" Jinwoo asks his friend. "How can
you leave me like this? I'm bored to death and you're going on a date?" Taehyun says dramatically, hugging a throw pillow
for an effect. "Wha- I'm not- We're not- It's not a date Nam Taehyun!" Jinwoo shouts, cheeks tainted red. "Okay, okay,
whatever." Taehyun pouts like a child and Jinwoo laughs. "I'll come back as soon as I can!" Jinwo calls out as he
headed towards the door. Now what to do to kill boredom? Taehyun thinks. A few minutes later, after Taehyun re-arranged
his photo collection and added the new pictures from the other night, his phone rang. Taehyun looked at the caller ID and
it displayed Seunghoon's name. Taehyun answers the call with a quite hopeful tone ( for he really wants to do something
rather than stay holed-up at his home). "Yahoo~ Nam Taehyun! I was wondering if you're bored as hell like me."
Seunghoon asked. "Maybe." Taehyun laughs a bit. "Well, would you like to hang out with Mino and I? From what I've heard
Seungyoon and Jinwoo are busy doing something I would never do on a free Saturday." Seunghoon offers, and Taehyun
really laughed this time. "Sure, why not? There's nothing worth watching on the telly anyways." Taehyun replies. "I know
right? Mino and I will be coming there. Wait for us!" Seunghoon then hangs up and Taehyun looks at his phone, shaking
his head fondly. At least he's got something to do now.
Seunghoon and Mino were there after five minutes. Mino smiles immediately when he sees Taehyun and the latter
smiled back, his eyes locking with Mino's for a moment before both of their eyes went down to their feets. Seunghoon
watched the exchange, hiding his smile. "So, where are we going today?" Seunghoon asked Mino. "This was your idea
wasn't it?" Mino replies. "Ehhh I can't think of any place. I want food." Seunghoon tells him, patting his stomach with a
smile. "Well, we could go to Dara-noona's place?" Mino offers and the other two agreed. The walk was not that long and
Taehyun feels his cheeks warming up because it was the same coffee shop where he first saw Mino and took a picture
of him. Mino opens the door and a sound of a bell ringing sounded, signalling their arrival. "Good Morning Seungri-hyung."
Mino greets the guy on the cashier. The guy was clearly surprised because he jumps and stumbles a bit as he turns
towards Mino and his companions. "Oh, Mino-ssi. Good morning." Seungri smiled. "What brought you here? Seunghoon-ssi
you're here too." Seungri turned to Taehyun not sure of his name yet. "Ah, I'm Taehyun. Mino's friend." Taehyun introduces
himself. "I see, nice to meet you." Seungri smiles. "So, what do you want to eat?" Seungri took their orders happily. "One
glazed doughnut an-" Seungri stops as a voice came from the kitchen. "Seungri-ah are you slacking again?" the voice
called out. A guy with a slender frame came from the kitchen door. "Ahh, Mino-ssi. You've brought friends todaay. How are
you?" the guy asked them with a smile cotrary to his glare at Seungri. "I'm fine, hyung. Just started off my last year last
week." Mino tells him, giving off a grin. "I see, good for you! I'll be off and do my work now. Enjoy your stay. And you
Seungri, please be more attentive." Seungri pouts at the guy. "Jiyong-hyung, I'll do my best!" Seungri says with a thumbs up
and Jiyong just rolled his eyes (quite fondly, Taehyun admits to himself) before coming inside the kitchen again. "Ah, don't
worry about me kids, Jiyong-hyung really loves me." Seungri winks and the three boys laughed.
A minute or so after getting their orders, Seunghoon suddenly stands up. "I need to go." Seunghoon declares. "But you're the
one who asked us to hang out and you're already leaving?" Mino asks with a frown. "I'll be back, don't worry. I just forgot to
run an errand for my mother." Seunghoon explains and he runs towards the door without turning when Taehyun and Mino
called out their goodbyes. Mino is now alone with Taehyun on a couch on the corner of the cafe and they both missed
Seunghoon's smug face as he walked outside and peeked on hem through the glass wall.

"You see, the variable goes here and you just cancel this out. Get it?" Seungyoon wants to punch his own face because he's
still using his gentle tone and he's been explaining the same concept to Jinwoo for about five times already. He spares a look
at Jinwoo biting is lips and who's got his eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Seungyoon sighs as he waits for the guy to
finish up the few exercises hegave Jinwoo to answer. They've been studying for an hour or so in Seungyoon's room at his
study table. Seungyoon explains the concepts about their lessons and the steps on how to solve some problems and
Jinwoo listens. Seungyoon can tell that Jinwoo really wants to pass his maths and Seungyoon finds it endearing. Wait,
what? What endearing? Seungyoon shakes his head and pretends to skim over the math book in front of him. After a
minute, Jinwoo softly pokes Seungyoon's arm. Seungyoon turned to face Jinwoo who's looking at him shyly and cutely
scratching the back of his neck. Jinwoo hands him the questions and his answers and Seungyoon reviews all of it. Jinwoo
plays with his pencil until Seungyoon clears his throat, making Jinwoo jump a little. "It's all correct. You got it all right."
Seungyoon declares and Jinwoo's smile spread across his face and out of instinct he hugged Seungyoon tightly. "Yay!
I thought I would never get it. Thank you, Seungyoon-ssi." Jinwoo says, happiness in his voice. Seungyoon ,on the
other hand, is stunned because Jinwoo is hugging him. Seungyoon feels his heartbeat beating faster than normal and he
can hear it too. Seungyoon hopes that Jinwoo wouldn't notice or hear. "You... You're welcome." Seungyoon managed to
croak out finally. Jinwoo breaks their hug (well, his hug on Seungyoon) and smiles. Suddenly, Seungyoon's mother came
knocking on the door. "Some snacks are ready downstair, you might want to dig in?" Mrs. Kang says behind the door.
Seungyoon looks at Jinwoo who's looking at his work again. Seungyoon stood up from his seat and pats Jinwoo's head.
"You did a good job today. Let's go and join mum downstairs." Seungyoon says softly and Jinwoo looks up at him. Seungyoon
slowly smiled down at Jinwoo. It may be a small smile but Jinwoo feels like he just won the world or something.

"So, I was like, yeah I can do this and I fell down, first. I swear, I was so embarrassed." Mino tells a story to Taehyun who
has his head rolled back, laughing. "That was... that was so funny." Tahyun says between his laughter. "Well, of course it is.
God, that was really embarrassing." Mino cringes at his memories making Taehyun chuckle some more. Their food are long
gone and they were just talking like the first time they talked at Taehyun and Jinwoo's place. They were waiting for Seunghoon
who's gone for about two hours now. "Seunghoon is really taking long." Taehyun says and as if on cue, Mino's phone vibrated.
Mino rolls his eyes at the phone. "He said he's not coming back. And that he's sorry but something came up while he was
doing his errands." Mino tells Taehyun and they both got up. They went by the counter and bid their goodbyes to both Jiyong
and Seungri who's exchanging banters with each other (well, Jiyong gives off the teasing remarks while Seungri denies
everything Jiyong says with a pout). The two walked out of the store with a take-out bag filled with (It's Jiyong-hyung's
specialty cupcakes. They're really good.) cupcakes given by Seungri.
The two walked in silence but it's comforting. They decided to stroll by the park where Taehyun likes to go when he wants
to take pictures. As soon as they found an empty bench below a huge tree, Taehyun took out his camera. Mino watched
in fascination as Taehyun took pictures of everything he finds. Mino sat there as Taehyun explored and took still frames
of what's happening at that moment. Mino's eyes were teared away from Taehyun when he feels a tug on his shirt. A little
boy was looking up at him with a frown. Mino turns to the boy. "What's wrong?" Mino asks softly. "My ice cream fell on the
ground." the little boy said, sadly. Mino thinks the kid is so adorable and cute when he's pouting. "How about let's get you
another one? Where are your parents? And what's your name?" Mino asks again. "My parents are at home a few houses from
here. My name is Jay." the boy answered quietly. "I'm Mino. It's nice to meet you, Jay." Mino smiles at the kid. Mino feels a
pat on his shoulder and turned to see Taehyun with a questioning glint in his eyes. "His ice cream fell. His name's Jay." Mino
explains and Taehyun looked at the kid and crouched down to pat his head. "Hi, I'm Taehyun. We'll get you one, alright?"
Taehyun says with a smile to reaasure the kid. Taehyun and Mino got up and took a hand of the kid. they walked
towards the ice cream vendor and ordered three cones, one for each of them. Mino watched a delighted Taehyun who's
happy at the kid's happy 'thank you'. The three went back to the bench and sat for a bit there, eating ice cream. Suddenly,
after the kid finished his ice crem, he got up and pulled Mino up too. "Stay here, please?" The little boy told Taehyun who
smiled and nodded. The kid dragged Mino far away from Taehyun. "Where are you taking me?" Mino asks. Instead of
answering his question, the boy plucked a pink flower from a bush and handed it to Mino. "I think this would look nice on
Taehyun-hyung. Would you please give this to him?" the kid asked with a shy smile. "Of course, and to be honest I think
so too. Let's go give it to him." Mino says, holding Jay's hand as they approach Taehyun. Mino hides the flower behind him
and like most kids, Jay can't hide his smile well before the surprise. "Where were you? And what are you up to?" Taehyun
chuckles at Jay who's now covering his mouth with his hands to avoid laughing out loud. "Well, Jay and I thinks this would
look nice on you." Mino informs Taehyun and tucks the pink flower behind Taehyun's ear. Jay gaped with his mouth open
at Taehyun. "Mino-hyung, look at Taehyun-hyung. It looks perfect on him." the kid said, rejoicing. Taehyun blushed and
says 'Thank You' for the compliment.
After a few more minutes of playing with Jay and taking pictures, his mother was calling out for him because 'play time is over'.
Jay and his mother bid their goodbyes to both Mino and Taehyun. The two did the same and also made their way home. Mino
once again walked Taehyun home. It was still early and Mino wants to say that so he can have more time with Taehyun
because honestly, it feels good to spend time with him. But Mino did not say that. As they walk, Mino wonders if Taehyun
forgot that the flower was still on him or he just kept it tucked like that to torture Mino. Mino was selfish though and he doesn't
want Taehyun to take the flower off so he stayed quiet.
He also stayed quiet when all he wanted to say after his goodbye to Taehyun was "You're really beautiful, Nam Taehyun."
