Three: Beautiful

Keep Me

It's still raining as Mino walks home with his new cat named Nam. Mino smiled at the thought of his newfound friend Nam

Taehyun. It's pretty obvious that he wants to know the other guy, why else would he offer to hold an umbrella for him when

normally, he would just stare at the person who needs help contemplating whether to help or not because sometimes, they

run away before he even had the chance to ask if they need some help from him. Is it because of what happened before?

He only did the right thing so why? Mino pushed away his thoughts when the cat purred and snuggled into him, like it

sensed that Mino is feeling down. His mind returns to Taehyun. He first saw him in front of the coffee shop that his cousin

owns. He seems to have trouble so Mino decided to rush and help him but the guy is already done picking up the coins

that fell from him. The guy stood up and looked at him for a split second before letting go of his umbrella and grabbing his

camera and took a picture of him. Mino smiled at the memory. Taehyun looks flustered after taking the picture and he

quickly grabbed his umbrella and walked away just as quick. Mino regrets not running after the guy. But hey, it seems

like fate that they were classmates and they are friends now. he's even wearing Taehyun's shirt right now and Mino felt a

bit happy about that.

 

Mino finally made it home and calls out that he' already arrived. A happy face greets him. "Mino, you're back! How's the 

first day? Did anyone bully you?" Mino's cousin, Dara, asked with her face painted with absolute worry. "No one bullied

me, Noona." Mino smiled and Dara gave him a big hug. "Come on, dinner is ready." Dara says and Mino's face lights up.

"Well, Jinwoo is a nice kid, Yoonie. I became friends with him instantly." Seunghoon says, jumping into Seungyoon's bed.

"I know he's nice, and that's already a reason why he needs to stay away." Seungyoon, who is sitting on his computer

chair with his face on the back rest and his feet dangling at the sides, replies. "Well, I am a nice kid too, right?" Seunghoon

laughs, making the other smile. "No you're not. You're a jerk to be honest." Seungyoon disagrees. "Only when it's needed."

Seunghoon protests, snuggling on the pillow to make himself more comfortable. "Why are you here anyways?" Seungyoon

asks. "Well, I'm here to ask you to get your at school tomorrow." Seunghoon answers, making the other glare at him.

"I hate going there. You know that." Seungyoon reminds him. "You sound like a brat my dear baby Yoonie. Mino hated that

place too, remember? but he was there." Seunghoon tells him in a serious tone rather than his usual carefree voice. He

got up from the bed and crossed the room to stand in front of Seungyoon. "You did not do anything wrong, Yoonie. In fact,

you did what I would do. Just, don't mind the people who talk about you and Mino and you'll be fine." Seunghoon pats

his shoulders before making his way to the door. "See you~" Seunghoon waves and slammed the door, leaving Seungyoon

staring at the door. Seungyoon knew- knows - he needs to go to school even if it kills him. The new kid, Kim Jinwoo, 

seems to be determined as hell to put him in school again. He thinks of how those eyes looked at him like everything would

be better if Seungyoon just went to school instead of staying at his room. Seungyoon feels guilty. It was something about

Jinwoo's eyes. Seungyoon sighs and got up to open his cabinet. he took out some clothes and his bag for school. Maybe

it was worth a shot.

"Seungyoon-ah, wake up." Seungyoon hears a voice. He still got his eyes clothes, determined to stay asleep as long as 

possible. "Seungyoon-ah, we're gonna be late." the voice said. Late for what? Seungyoon thinks. "Come on. Get up."

now the voice is whining a bit. Seungyoon dares- dares- to open his eyes. The morning light shone on his eyes and it is

irritating. Seungyoon groans and rubs his eyes. "Good morning~!" a bright voice said. Seungyoon turns to the speaker and

sees Kim Jinwoo standing in front of him. "What the... what are you doing here? Inside my room? Without my permission?"

Seungyoon asks, rather angrily, as he glares at Jinwoo who looks ready to cry at the moment. "I'm just...here to wake you

up...a-and accompany you...to school?" Jinwoo stutters, avoiding Seungyoon's eyes.  "But who let you in?" Seungyoon

asks again, pointing an accusing finger at Jinwoo. "Your mom did." Jinwoo answered quietly looking down at his feet.

"Go out. Now." Seungyoon tells him and Jinwoo follows. 

 

Seungyoon angrily went to the bathroom beside his own room and prepareed himself for the day. Which is completely

weird. Completely un-Seungyoon. but he puts on clothes and washed his face and grabbed his school bag and his mother's

jaw might have hit the ground when he goes down the stairs to have some breakfast. Jinwoo, who's sitting at the dining

table ( as requested by Seungyoon's mother probably) and eating some breakfast prepared by Mrs. Kang. "Seungyoon...

good morning. Here have a seat. I cooked some breakfast." Mrs. Kang says, after recovering from her shock. Seungyoon

silently took a sit opposite of the beaming Jinwoo and ate some breakfast with him. Seungyoon, although he's quite

reluctant, feels as though going to school might be a good idea after all.

 

Seungyoon says his goodbyes to his mother and Jinwoo did as well. They walked together to the school and Seungyoon

feels nice even though he always assumed that it would . "So, finally decided to come, yeah?" Jinwoo asks with

his never ending smile. Seungyoon stayed silent. Seungyoon drags his bicycle from the front porch to the road. "Come

on." Seungyoon tells Jinwoo who looks at him like he's speaking another language. "I said, come on. I hate walking so

just ride with me." Seungyoon tells him with a flat tone. Jinwoo steps closer and sat behind Seungyoon with his feet dangling

on one side. The seat of his bicycle is long enough for two. Jinwoo feels uncomfortable because he might fall any second.

"How dumb can you be? Hold on to my shirt so you won't fall." Seungyoon sighs as he holds Jinwoo's hand and placed it on

his waist. "O-okay." Jinwoo says, and they're off. It was a short trip, of course, since it was only a few blocks away. Jinwoo

got off as fast as he can, with pink color coloring up his cheeks from his embarrassment. "Umm, let's go?" Jinwoo asks

because Seungyoon got his hands still glued on his bike. Jinwoo sighs and grabs Seungyoon's hands. "Wa-wait." 

Seungyoon protests but Jinwoo ignored it. People are looking at them weirdly. Seungyoon feels so little but Jinwoo makes

him ignore everything by smiling at him and mouthing 'It'll be okay' with a bonus thumbs up. As soon as they enter their

room, Seungyoon sees Mino looking at him wide wide eyes like he could not believe he's really seeing Seungyoon and

he hears Seunghoon shout "Yoonie!" before he even sees them. jinwoo urged him to come inside and he did. The other

people are looking at him but Seunghoon is already squishing him hard in a hug so it doesn't really matter. Mino came

to pat his head. "Good to see you." he says and Seungyoon smiles a bit. "Ahh, you should smile often. You look good

when you're smiling." Jinwoo comments. Seungyoon frowns just to annoy Jinwoo. Well, he did wake him up. It's like a

written rule to be moody to the person who woke you up when you don't want to wake up just yet. Jinwoo pouts at him

and went to a guy who's got his head slumped on the table. "What happened to Taehyun?" Jinwoo asked Mino and

Seunghoon. "He says he's too nervous to even operate." Seunghoon explains. "And he's pissed at someone who wrote

his name on the sign-up list for those who wants to be a part of the photography club." he adds, eyeing Mino. "What? I

just did it because he's really good at taking photos." mino defends himself. Seungyoon watched the exchange with 

amused eyes. "I have to face a lot of people because of you." this 'Taehyun' got his head up to glare at Mino. "You know

how I get along well with new people. you know that all too well Kim Jinwoo." Taehyun whines and Jinwoo smiles at him

adoringly. Seungyoon's eyebrows furrowed. Who is this Taehyun anyway? Taehyun turned to see Seungyoon. they stared at

each other for a long time before Taehyun spoke. "You must be Kang Seungyoon. I'm Jinwoo's caretaker, Nam Taehyun.

He talked a lot about you when he came home yesterday" he says with a slight smile ang Jinwoo elbows him. "You're not 

my caretaker nor do i need one!" Jinwoo tells Taehyun who laughs. "Oh sure you don't." he replies. "You almost fall down

three times in our trip going here. You do need a caretaker." Seungyoon comments with a tiny chuckle. Seunghoon watched

them all and he's happy.

"How am I supposed to talk to them?" Taehyun asks, glaring at Mino who puts his hands up. "I don't know... just be yourself?"

Mino offers. "I mean, you talked with me perfectly fine yesterday and now we're friends." he adds with a smile. "If this goes

horribly wrong I'll kill you." Taehyun points at Mino. The other three guys already went home and since Taehyun insists

that it is a certain 'Song Mino's' fault that he need to talk to at least five strangers that day, he made Mino stay and wait up 

for him to finish his so called 'auditions'. "I hate you, you know?" Taehyun says, although they both know that he really don't.

"i know." Mino replies with a smile. "Now go on and amaze them with your photo book." Mino pushes him. Taehyun took a 

deep breath before knocking on the door and coming inside.

 

"Uhh, good afternoon." Taehyun greets. Their weird art proffessor Mr. Choi Seunghyun nods at him and other unfamiliar faces

greets him. He clears his throught and swallowed his nerves and spoke about his photos as he showed it to them. A fellow

student, Taehyun believe is Lee Soo Hyun, gushes at how cool his works are. He was welcomed warmly and Taehyun almost

thanked Mino for signing up his name here. He was also welcomed by Soo Hyun's brother, Chanhyuk. They were all 

friendly and Taehyun is relieved. 

 

After some words of good bye, and some more congrratulations, Taehyun went out of the room to find that Mino is nowhere

to be found. He frowns at his feet. He thought Mino would wait for him. How naive can he be? Would he wait for half an hour

for Taehyun? They just became friends yesterday and Taehyun practically forced Mino to accompany him. Taehyun should

not be surprised but he is anyways. Taehyun sits at the bench placed at the side of the hallways, clutching his photo book.

It was nice, the photography club. The people were nice too, although their club adviser is weird, it's fun to meet them.

But Taehyun feels sad. He thinks it's because Mino did not wait for him or at least inform him that he would go on without

him or something. No, scratch that. He doesn't think that. He knows that it's because of Mino. Taehyun finally stood up to 

go home. He stopped whenn he heard someone running and calling out his name. "Taehyun!" Mino's voice called out.

Taehyun faced to see the man, panting as he helds out a plastic bag. "What?" Taehyun asks. "I bought some ice cream

to celebrate your new membership in the photography club." Mino smiles, wiping his sweat. Taehyun looked at him.

"You left just to buy ice cream? You didn't even know if I made it or not." Taehyun tells him. "Well, I know you would

make it." Mino shrugs and gives an ice cream popsicle to Taehyun. "We can eat this on our way. let's go." Mino says,

putting an arm around Taehyun as they walked together on the school hallways. 

 

Nam Taehyun gave Song Mino a big smile that Mino never saw before.

 

That's when Mino thinks Taehyun is really beautiful.
