Twenty

The Stony Prince and The Cat

Lee Jihoon just wanted a normal and happy life.

He wanted good grades.

Eat at least three times a day.

And find a normal, good paying job once he graduated college.

Yes.

He just wanted to blend in the crowd as much as possible. But ironically, the people around him hinder him from doing so.

First there was Choi Seungcheol, the current Student Council President, the very same person who managed to manipulate him into running for the spot of the Student Council Secretary. Next was Kwon Soonyoung, the very same idiot who beat him on a bet and made him dye his hair pink, the reason why he was called by the ridiculous nickname 'Pink Fairy of the Student Council'.

And lastly, an underclassman that goes by the name of Kim Mingyu.

Kim Mingyu was rich –as most students in their school– handsome, and a little bit of a klutz.

Jihoon had heard of him even before he met him. He was famous, per se. Together with his best friend Jeon Wonwoo, they had countless fangirls, some in Jihoon's class, and most of the time the fangirls spoke about them.

But he never really paid him that much attention.

It was when the Student Council had to announce the school festival's mechanics in every classroom that Jihoon got Mingyu's attention.

And it still confuses Jihoon up to this point. Well, from the beginning, when they entered the classroom, it was Yoon Jeonghan –the vice president– that did all the talking. Jihoon merely stood in the corner and waited for him to finish so that he could add a few more details. He failed to see that one of the students was completely frozen in his seat and was staring at him in awe.

Mingyu had stared at him like he was the most beautiful being on the entire planet.

And when he received a love letter saying to meet him at the rooftop, Jihoon was more than shocked to see the owner was no other than Kim Mingyu himself.

He didn't know that the kid was into boys.

Although Jihoon had never felt romantically attracted to any gender, he was sure that he didn't swing that way.

He just couldn't understand the concept of love, much more the concept of 'love at first sight'. So he did what he thought was right - he rejected him (albeit a little too straight forward to people's liking). He was expecting that Mingyu would stop at that point on, so imagine his shock when he saw yet another love letter and a lunch box in his locker the next day.

From then on, Jihoon realized that Kim Mingyu doesn't just simply give up.

And he was quite shameless.

Jihoon heaved another sigh as he saw, yet again, another lunch box inside his locker. He knew right away that it was from Mingyu. If the stupid sticky note with a 'think of me as you eat this, hyung! I love you! (✿'‿')' didn't give it away, the love letter with his name on it sure did.

"Woah! Another one?" Soonyoung spoke just beside him. The bastard didn't even hide his amusement as the smaller boy blatantly ignored the letter and the box. Jihoon took his books out and made his way towards the student council room. He didn't even bother closing his locker shut as he knew Soonyoung would claim the lunchbox for himself.

Jihoon never did try eating the stuffs that Mingyu made. To him, it's equivalent to accepting the underclassman's feelings. Call him cold but that's how he is. It was better than giving people false hopes.

"I swear that kid is madly in love with you," Soonyoung grinned while clutching the lunchbox to his chest. He was catching up to Jihoon who continued to walk at a fast pace. "What did you feed him anyway?"

"I don't know and I don't care." The pink haired boy scrunched his nose.

"Why so cold, Jihoon-sshi ~? He even made you lunch and you won't even eat it. When will Jihoon-senpai notice Mingyu-kouhai?" Jihoon felt his eyebrow twitch. He was yet again questioning why was he friends with this guy. Ah yes, they were neighbors. And Soonyoung's inability to protect himself from bullies and Jihoon's stupid sense of justice was another reason.

Tsk.

"But you know, I must give that kid some credit. Like he isn't afraid of announcing to the entire world that he's in love with a boy."

No response from Jihoon.

"He doesn't care of what people may say. He's really brave!"

He's just toying with me, Jihoon thought.

"Have you ever thought of giving him a chance? Nobody had gone this far wooing you after all."

Jihoon abruptly stopped in his tracks. Soonyoung nearly bumped into him but Jihoon didn't care much about that. What was more important was the fact that Mingyu and Wonwoo were making their way towards them. Jihoon cursed under his breath. The younger boy had not noticed him yet so he did the usual thing that he did. "Hide me!" He half whispered, half screamed to Soonyoung.

"But why? I'm sure that kid will be more than delighted to see you!"

you, Kwon Soonyoung!

"Thank you for being such a good friend." Jihoon hissed as he started sprinting in the opposite direction.

Soonyoung merely gave him a cheeky grin and waved his free hand animatedly.

"No problem, Lee Jihoon!"

Of course he just had to do that.

Mingyu's ears immediately perked up at the name. He wasn't able to finish his sentence as he got a glimpse of pink hair before it disappeared around some corner.

He'd recognize that pink color wherever he went. And his heart started racing.

"Jihoon Hyung!" He wasted no time and ran to where Jihoon went. Can you blame him? He hasn't seen the boy for two weeks in a row. It was as if the older boy was hiding from him.

"Hyung!" He called again. Jihoon turned left and so did Mingyu. The smaller boy had gotten out of the field. Jihoon was running like his entire life depended on it.

Well, it probably did.

Or something more important.

Aside from being stubborn, let's just say that Mingyu was quite of a . Well not much, but still.

His ity was at stake here. Don't blame him.

"Gotcha!" And he caught up with him. Jihoon cursed the heavens and hell as he felt Mingyu wrap his extra long limbs around his torso. "Jihoon Hyung! I missed you!" The boy exclaimed and rubbed his cheek against Jihoon's.

Well I didn't, was what he wanted to say but thought otherwise. He merely just squirmed under his grasp. "Hyung, did you see the lunchbox that I made? Mom taught me that the other day."

He sighed and slumped on the taller boy's chest. Resistance was futile and he hadn't eaten yet. He could already feel a headache coming, add that to the fact that he had to check some documents out before he left the school that day. "I didn't. Soonyoung took it. And please let go of me, people are staring."

Mingyu's grasp on the smaller boy softened at that. Although Jihoon couldn't see it, he knew that Mingyu was wearing this pained expression that made guilt start eating at him.

Jihoon sighed and slowly unwrapped Mingyu's arms around him. The shorter boy just shook his head and left without so much as uttering a word to the taller boy who, on the other hand, just watched his back as he slowly disappeared inside the school building.

And there goes another unproductive attempt of Mingyu's plan of wooing Lee Jihoon.
