Chapter 4

Why do we always end up doing
stupid things to the person we care?
Stupidity – really, such excuse for being
hopeful or optimistic;
a resolve,
which perhaps something
good might happen as a result.

Minho’s Flashback
The Intention
In the Open Field

“Nickhun! Do not kick so hard eeehhh…
It is tiring to chase the ball around…”
Whines Mir scratching his head.

“Mir, this is soccer…
kicking and chasing…”
Nickhun’s reply while smiling…

“It is hard when you put Nickhun,
Eli and Minho together plus Jinwoon.
We are five but we cannot win…”
Complains Dongwoon…

“And you are the only taller amongst us!
And the rest of us are small people!”
Guffaws Jaejin…

“Yyyaahh…
we are just shorter than them because we are still kids.
We will grow!”
Defends Sungyeol…

“But luckily we have Dongwoon our best kicker
so that is a nice against Minho!”
Hoya emphasizes confidently…

“(panting) Hey guys… Quiet… Minho is kicking…”
Screams Woohyun…

“Aaaiiisshh…
the giant froggie’s turn to kick…
for sure… will go somewhere…”
Exhaling loudly Sungyeol…

“Minho-ssi, if your kick is foul this time…
you get it ok…?”
Hoya shouts…

But Minho smirks and just a slithering moment checks the time then swiftly looks around as if checking something and gets back to focus looking at Mir, the goalie and says…

“I will not…I am sure about it…”

“I hate him…really…”
Hoya sighs…

“Just ask your goalie to be ready!”
Shouts Nickhun…

“Yeah…whatever…
chasing is not fun…
food is fun after this…okay….GO!”
Screams Sungyeol…

The first inning has ended and currently having a fifteen-minute break wherein while in the middle of it, Minho stands up and walks away from the group prompting for Hoya to ask…

“Hey…Minho-ssi!
Where are you going…?”

Minho turns his body facing his friends raising his hands up in the air acting innocent armed with his usual common gesture the dopy froggie stare behavior replies…

“I just want to check something…
I will be back for the last round!”

“Do you need company…?”
Asks Woohyun…

“NOPE!”
Shouts Minho and smiles then runs…

Woohyun turns to look at Nickhun and Hoya asking…

“What is he up to…?”

Nickhun shrugs off while Hoya replies…

“I have no idea…”

“Minho is just probably going to as he said;
check something so leave it…”
Says Jaejin…

At this moment, Minho not wanting to waste a moment runs as fast as he can to the sort of forest like area then prancing in such joy and gladness as if waiting for this moment to come.

Before the game, Minho inside his room and in his usual past time of wasting time by the window doing what he loves doing, Key-watching; hears…

“Mom…
can Kris hyung come with me outside?”

“What are you going to do outside sweetie…”

“I will look for a nice view to paint…”

“Oh…okay, why not …
(looks at Kris) Kris can come with you.
What time are you planning to go out…?”

“Afternoon Mom…perhaps at 4pm”

Minho covers his mouth and walks back and forth so high in spirits skips-runs out of his room and stopping at the living area where the phone is located; starts calling his friends via conference call...

“Hello… let’s play everyone…!”

“What time…?”
Asks Nickhun…

“Come to my place after lunch….
may be around 2pm…okay?”

“Alright, we will all be there…
Minho?”
Jinwoon calling Minho’s name…

“Yeah, what is it? Jinwoon…”

“Don’t forget… snacks!”

“Yeah…!”
Everybody saying it out loud…

“What the…
guys bring some of your own as well…!”

“Okay… we will…!”
