Episode 5 — You’re Annoying

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v6lqf4ygR

Yujin didn’t drink the sports drink.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jDRn66SOk

He stared at it during the entire walk home instead.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DMPtDPTwn

Cold can. Black label. Still slightly warm from Minho’s hand.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWisfAFeEn

Annoying.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7nfgaZgei

Everything about Kang Minho was annoying.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GrdNyDMZt

The way he acted like he hated everyone. The way he kept pushing people away. The way his eyes looked exhausted even when he laughed.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkwRVFDVDB

Yujin hated thinking about him this much.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwMqFtVdA9

The next morning, Minho was asleep at his desk.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmNXnfGSTD

Not unusual.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9W5JJoeLI

But today looked different.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRoYcOmTlW

His head rested against folded arms, sleeves rolled slightly upward.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHDF3jW6dE

A dark bruise wrapped around his wrist.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBbf00hlg2

Yujin noticed it immediately.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yZz7yy8r1

Before he could stop himself, he walked closer.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi8NCl5yKl

The classroom was still mostly empty.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SwMq6IKVC

Quiet.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMFBBtZ0qR

Minho’s breathing was slow, but uneven.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HI2e7j7My

Like he hadn’t slept properly in days.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZejnJpEu1

Yujin frowned slightly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRJw1GHuZp

Then Minho spoke without opening his eyes.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTTeed7BWb

“People usually buy me dinner before staring this hard.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd3IuI1Sjg

Yujin nearly jumped back.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY3mrQP5Vs

“You weren’t asleep?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59xhEgQ30

“Unfortunately.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnPxBszF1q

Minho finally lifted his head.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbOElhT7Dt

His expression looked worse up close.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCKIGbtNRX

Dark circles. Split lip. That same unreadable look.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMQxigbKlS

Yujin placed the sports drink from yesterday onto Minho’s desk.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Z7cQjgRP

“You forgot this.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxrFzLfBC4

Minho stared at the can for a second.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVbuWaeDKS

“…You carried it home?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPV8yuLqWc

“You threw it at me.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ5InWHhVF

“That’s kind of pathetic.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmD8SXYv4L

“You’re impossible to talk to.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WNVPNrlLF

“Then stop talking.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIJjFk85j

Despite the words, Minho opened the can quietly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBDUbkiSr8

Yujin sat down at his own desk again.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgTZdywQPx

A few moments later—

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDubp3Ghd

“Why’d you transfer here?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDn7D3zOG3

The question caught him off guard.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQfbp656nC

Yujin looked over.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuFYiqxaa2

Minho was staring out the window instead of at him.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGPcUiq0jd

“Family reasons.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9scnM8zWzl

“Sounds fake.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZhWMUzkkb

“It’s not.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ox2SX2xw

Minho hummed softly like he didn’t care enough to ask further.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsXrTumefi

Then—

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgEvVdZj0m

“You got friends back there?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ddb198eV

“No.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAZsWL4kqa

“That explains a lot.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUas7XJj9gn

Yujin narrowed his eyes.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvLOYmyx1

“You know, you’re rude even when half asleep.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc18QZu1yip

“And you’re sensitive even when awake.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUjRELED9

Yujin rolled his eyes.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEP9fs6lHB

Somehow, talking to Minho always felt like arguing with a stray cat.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9lINQ0UHz

A violent one.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK7TeBCEwX

—

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTnx78KtuP

Lunch break arrived quietly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl8ieC3u2p

Yujin expected Minho to disappear like usual.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weyPvpUrC

Instead, he found him alone behind the school building smoking again.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjfYMNmfS

Cold wind moved through the narrow alley.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMRwCLZpQX

Minho leaned against the wall lazily, dark eyes fixed on the sky.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJuKAhwR93

“You’ll die early at this rate,” Yujin said.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSW3veMDhy

Minho didn’t even look surprised to see him.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYeEjJWoHR

“Were you following me?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwd9o4nKJq

“No.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SpqApgGhO

“Liar.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdssv10A8bc

Yujin ignored that.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BIcHWZaj3

“You skipped lunch.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfDSkw35nX

“Not hungry.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLyMv5IRO2

“You say that every day?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vQAVYdJpW

Minho finally looked at him.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W8CWeHaya

“You keeping track of me now?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIE6NnVJh0

“…No.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIqtIPvI5u

“You’re a shit liar too.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlAxVlNBRB

Yujin clicked his tongue and sat on the low concrete ledge nearby.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx412UHWsGp

For a while, only the sound of wind and distant students filled the silence.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4UyJn3Bry

Then Minho suddenly asked:

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzi4o814HE

“You draw because you like it?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cb7LNe9Nq

Yujin blinked.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ChKkFWg16

“…Obviously.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WGoIfQla

“Nah.” Minho exhaled smoke slowly. “Some people do things because they’d fall apart otherwise.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM7NavRqB0

The words landed heavier than expected.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWaU5Y6UxD

Yujin looked at him carefully.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbfb0fcuSr

Minho’s expression stayed blank.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE5H9X7vU9

Cold.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhhmuIvmW6

But tired.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOlUCYLYo

Very tired.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XbTN24qhO

“Which one are you?” Yujin asked quietly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Pt5kjh4Z

Minho laughed under his breath.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTX2M3iOcC

“You really don’t know when to stop asking shit.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWiD4D93hj

Before Yujin could answer, footsteps echoed nearby.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdbSJxD6O

Three older students turned into the alley.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzFBPjNWnk

The moment Minho saw them, his entire expression hardened.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl7abCZwgf

One of them smirked.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t4MUkVieO

“Well, look who’s hiding here.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21g9u7FHA

Yujin immediately felt the tension shift.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0VRUWTzvg

Minho straightened slowly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWFrK1L8JZ

Dangerously calm.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhWP55KcLF

“Get lost,” he said flatly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQHkIAWMwX

The tallest guy laughed.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNRMOUR3Tw

“You gonna hit me again, psycho?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLjFJ4irnQ

Yujin froze.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdTma7aEO6

So the rumors were true.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPXwg9pyN

Minho stepped forward slightly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQuHKhxkZM

“Try me.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtJ9j0FLz

The atmosphere turned sharp instantly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wUig3TSPy

Hostile. Heavy.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8h72Dq83S

Yujin stood up quickly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs86WQFBydz

“Maybe everyone should just calm down—”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbk8DzUB5Z

“Stay out of it,” Minho snapped.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQuk7ZjJ7b

Cold enough to cut.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6PzAkfFkX

The older student looked between them and smirked again.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm9JMeaTIE

“Ohhh. So this is the new one?”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1XnWcBIa

Minho’s jaw tightened instantly.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuMQLSRxzU

“Shut the fuck up.”

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVMgpTqXiX

For the first time—

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgH4kScRrB

Yujin saw real anger in his eyes.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRWwjjTujD

Not irritation.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxMNLaCb8c

Not exhaustion.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9I8wUQCq
