Episode 8 — Fight Me Instead

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2KCLQqUK

Yujin didn’t see Kang Minho for two days after the art room incident.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wt3TynWXm

Not in the library. Not on the rooftop. Not asleep during class.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiIzNCz3lh

Nowhere.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOdBza3E4T

Which should’ve been peaceful.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1quNliqF9

Instead, it felt strangely empty.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95YQ2DLeN

Annoying.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7JU2rtDRJ

Very annoying.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddBkE3aZnM

—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0jdWrtUjX

“Minho got suspended again.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgVLJFSo5M

Yujin looked up from his sketchbook immediately.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMwtS7yew

Hyunwoo sat backwards on the chair in front of him, chewing gum lazily.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fJfDSO6GY

“What happened?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlH7T1IAuw

Hyunwoo raised an eyebrow.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDSNewzHr

“You care?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2guMyyT8kW

“No.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUXfVc615k

“Liar.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj1qdAsA1L

Yujin ignored him.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnmCYuw9n

Hyunwoo sighed dramatically.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m5V8igxfq

“Apparently he punched a guy near the arcade last night.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHJZEGKYgC

“…Why?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtburovOsXq

“Guy wouldn’t shut up.” Hyunwoo shrugged. “Typical Minho behavior.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh8aPud9Kd

Yujin frowned slightly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nP2BNcDau

Something about that sounded wrong.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uhOkmgLSl

Minho had anger issues, sure.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3lop67uJS

But he didn’t seem reckless enough to punch people randomly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgTpAs4eRT

Before Yujin could ask more—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV21Z5pz36K

A loud voice echoed from the hallway.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpUMCugdGO

“Well, if it isn’t Minho’s little boyfriend.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88FCyj3j3k

Yujin looked up slowly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6jqYaD2mt

Three older students stood near the classroom door.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnqmVPnrlM

One of them was the same guy from behind the school building.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjS2WArQl4

Great.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeseF9P58nM

“I’m not his boyfriend,” Yujin said flatly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWpo11jghx

The tallest guy laughed.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FWCXemLZ

“Relax. We’re just asking questions.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifUtTOxT53

His tone said otherwise.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jN4hU40o

The classroom atmosphere shifted uncomfortably.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKwJXytLNf

Most students stayed quiet.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7eg1A88mb

Nobody wanted problems with seniors.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrH5UX8uwR

The guy stepped closer to Yujin’s desk.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIBOqdQB1G

“You know where Minho is?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGP1yyvJhx

“No.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcggHbNg3J

“You talk to him all the time.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooF10PL0GB

“That sounds like your problem.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFBqav566

A few students sucked in nervous breaths.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRfAzeGawv

The senior’s expression darkened slightly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5balhu1fUD

“Watch your attitude.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmvMz0lKA

Yujin slowly closed his sketchbook.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDPbVBgJHD

“I was trying to.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN54Q8vd6r

For a second, it genuinely looked like the guy might grab him.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWlC5jGt9

Then—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivs1i0kHPA

“Touch him and I’ll break your jaw.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxgFb9ZPT

The classroom froze instantly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFRfPQad0W

Kang Minho stood at the doorway.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0vU8lmQmi

Still in his black hoodie. Hands shoved into pockets. Expression cold enough to kill someone.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC86Gc5w8s

The senior clicked his tongue.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqAQDKA5OT

“You again.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZGs89UAbA

Minho walked forward slowly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4NUpMFnqD

Calm.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmSNvyy6ul

Dangerously calm.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSsyv9bagO

“You wanna start shit?” the guy asked.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSRbF5iEC

Minho stopped beside Yujin’s desk.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfJARaGCLu

“No,” he answered flatly. “But if you keep bothering him, I might.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JCFfKd4x

Yujin blinked slightly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgAdXuCwk

Him?

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWMgVMlXnk

The senior laughed mockingly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq7ODRSV8x

“What, you protecting him now?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXLZKEzRW

Minho’s eyes turned sharp instantly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOc82rpA1

“I said leave.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapAsbJ3OWi

The room became suffocatingly tense.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Trqyrrs4n

Then the senior smirked again.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5QejxZmzs

“Or what?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWUwkbGuf

Silence.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNVrJCwQhD

Minho tilted his head slightly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRRNfohJss

“Fight me instead.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgO2bB8gVY

Nobody moved.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1A5lsXeyv

Nobody spoke.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBve6dQiI7

Because unlike the others—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbymNZVftYC

Minho sounded completely serious.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHCcOeH79q

After a long moment, the seniors finally backed off with irritated curses before leaving the classroom.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TY75EK2yL

The second they disappeared—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O9C6xCtKU

Everyone exhaled at once.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywrbKjZjb7

Hyunwoo muttered quietly:

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYiD2d09vx

“Holy shit…”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0e0cybdIq

Minho ignored everyone completely.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJx1HSiAbi

Instead, he looked down at Yujin.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRlkPZ5ZvH

“You okay?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z6a2kHOpN

The question sounded awkward coming from him.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2khxMSssc3

Almost unfamiliar.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSniU2wAPnB

Yujin stared for a second before answering:

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl0dcWCWL7

“…You got suspended because of those guys?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmf9hsRmon

Minho clicked his tongue softly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE5ItrO2RD

“Told you not to get involved with me.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAcTDUNsFS

“That’s not an answer.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07zy0JVJe

Minho looked exhausted suddenly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0Pa0SUjz

More than angry.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA8JJGoUbp

Just tired.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZIFcBwxNg

Then his eyes landed on Yujin’s sketchbook again.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mzGyEYIQ

“They touch your drawings?”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e4E7rBX3W

“…No.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMzMIhD0CP

“Good.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNzHYhXudn

Yujin frowned slightly.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaBB1W3pIH

“You care about weird things.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfOGlYMjio

Minho stared at him for a moment.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rILoxQju

Then quietly—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKU3NRWZlk

“Not weird to me.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiPpsNZTpA

For one second—

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBFRTOQkz

His expression softened again.

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAVWpgkTWU

That same dangerous kind of softness Yujin only saw when nobody else was looking.30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWcPFcQL4f
