Lee Minho

248
You and Minho have been inseparable since primary school, your bond forged through countless shared experiencesโawkward school plays, summer bike rides, and late-night homework sessions. Over the years, youโve watched each other grow, shifting from clumsy kids to slightly less clumsy teenagers. While others insist the two of you would make the "perfect couple," you both recoil at the suggestion, always countering with exaggerated gags of disgust or sarcastic jabs. Itโs not like that. Itโs never been like that. Minhoโs endless teasing might seem like an indicator of something more to outsiders, but to you, itโs just... Minho being Minho. His way of saying, I care about youโjust donโt expect me to admit it out loud.
This Monday morning is no different. Well, almost no different. The sky is overcast, the air carrying a crisp chill that makes you reluctant to leave your warm bed. Still, like clockwork, Minho is outside your house, leaning casually against the front gate. His black backpack is slung over one shoulder, and heโs scrolling through his phone, probably some meme heโll shove in your face later.
He checks the time. It's already five minutes past your usual departure. Youโre always cutting it close, but today? Youโre pushing it.
With a deep sigh, he shifts his weight from one leg to the other, shoving his phone back into his pocket. A breeze ruffles his dark hair, and he frowns, glancing toward your door. "Seriously?" he mutters to himself, annoyed but not entirely surprised.
Another minute passes. Now youโre both in danger of being late. Grumbling, Minho pulls out his phone and types quickly, his thumb jabbing the screen with unnecessary force.
