Episode 5 — You’re Annoying

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2PKXU5Bdm

Yujin didn’t drink the sports drink.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCrdtudchA

He stared at it during the entire walk home instead.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ865Fq2X4

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtUIctZVFF

Annoying.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSle6jvXpFD

Everything about Kang Minho was annoying.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IRTx5UFSz

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.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB1MUfEZos

Yujin hated thinking about him this much.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJSsKqUq1I

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDJ6cIa1UH

The next morning, Minho was asleep at his desk.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz5ZVXZbHP

Not unusual.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tuxg0tAIr

But today looked different.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbx52yXWPQ

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pGd4JF2BE

A dark bruise wrapped around his wrist.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFVf3PzIOZ

Yujin noticed it immediately.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sq2J9Eic

Before he could stop himself, he walked closer.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8DJ1rGA71

The classroom was still mostly empty.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBloEyPIBy

Quiet.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5QK36qic6

Minho’s breathing was slow, but uneven.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbIYBkATz4

Like he hadn’t slept properly in days.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2gbLk9hx

Yujin frowned slightly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXy28BbiDh

Then Minho spoke without opening his eyes.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5X3XgYSP4

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkH3VDDuhl

Yujin nearly jumped back.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx47aKmiZN7

“You weren’t asleep?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TAhJjMJ0

“Unfortunately.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn9iHDiN6i

Minho finally lifted his head.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55Og8MVqb

His expression looked worse up close.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJhEjDxMsZ

Dark circles. Split lip. That same unreadable look.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHxEyA4ABF

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTPJnB1Hob

“You forgot this.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5VvXiYclk

Minho stared at the can for a second.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvbHX3dre

“…You carried it home?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbdr1uG79I

“You threw it at me.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHtUhoy81e

“That’s kind of pathetic.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYKGlqFH4

“You’re impossible to talk to.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7IsBCG7o

“Then stop talking.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0qxYepYf

Despite the words, Minho opened the can quietly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO85flVBSZu

Yujin sat down at his own desk again.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2EWTkLFbv

A few moments later—

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK50u5LXWPy

“Why’d you transfer here?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e98cYkIZv

The question caught him off guard.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTe1yf8iyE

Yujin looked over.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSigirJ78Uu

Minho was staring out the window instead of at him.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd95dvo1TI

“Family reasons.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAcOCxPW3j

“Sounds fake.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbZpj0NM7P

“It’s not.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jy21WkJI

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNA3zdoKQ9

Then—

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMWXxMklQd

“You got friends back there?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCDsspI8hV

“No.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVvu9pibkE

“That explains a lot.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O304Bi9oN

Yujin narrowed his eyes.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3355Dn4iT

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bn1k4eZCe

“And you’re sensitive even when awake.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6crwhfy2

Yujin rolled his eyes.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IiVU5upPV

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33z2niYTv

A violent one.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZMhqiQpX0

—

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWDPurwEip

Lunch break arrived quietly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCKeEqEArv

Yujin expected Minho to disappear like usual.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomhVjJNpHJ

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVX9IgNIaI

Cold wind moved through the narrow alley.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvJQ7y3XnZ

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fm0IkDDAe

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbWijG2rtq

Minho didn’t even look surprised to see him.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcajxdRnMWG

“Were you following me?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9PKqlQmq1

“No.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAA1t5OM8A

“Liar.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIq2JM88NO

Yujin ignored that.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rLFZ0dXHx

“You skipped lunch.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz580aciuDA

“Not hungry.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yWnSjeNLx

“You say that every day?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9lE5WLpF

Minho finally looked at him.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYTtxcccC

“You keeping track of me now?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPeissNE1

“…No.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXMKuhGlUy

“You’re a shit liar too.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4m7woeaF3

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40XBIOYcBB

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJUbRNe6L

Then Minho suddenly asked:

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl691hPvkv

“You draw because you like it?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8flA5xlDl

Yujin blinked.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVfXuYJmdC

“…Obviously.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dh8myajys

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3q4cq9FYZ

The words landed heavier than expected.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZpQbzADJ

Yujin looked at him carefully.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5mgxAU0m

Minho’s expression stayed blank.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa86wDyUFVf

Cold.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHfBtdqG0X

But tired.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZM6APrCy4

Very tired.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEbE36d4l7

“Which one are you?” Yujin asked quietly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53qE4dyiTy

Minho laughed under his breath.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqHQHJrVcH

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

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi0sWBsvC6

Before Yujin could answer, footsteps echoed nearby.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07JkqVn3Qu

Three older students turned into the alley.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokhXVRSBT

The moment Minho saw them, his entire expression hardened.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdj30GWnrQ

One of them smirked.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWyYlfqTO

“Well, look who’s hiding here.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAUcXt9Jkt

Yujin immediately felt the tension shift.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBtatkSTVX

Minho straightened slowly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvF70JfcNg

Dangerously calm.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirL5u6ulwj

“Get lost,” he said flatly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNfLvFJI6n

The tallest guy laughed.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2iL5IeY4

“You gonna hit me again, psycho?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2NFUFGceL

Yujin froze.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7QcWKjp8b

So the rumors were true.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSYyf3ufYO

Minho stepped forward slightly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93GLEWdL4

“Try me.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86VHvYtAih

The atmosphere turned sharp instantly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5T4ZCNYfv

Hostile. Heavy.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9JGjfTFE1

Yujin stood up quickly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3CtEIGiH9

“Maybe everyone should just calm down—”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlfdsndUb

“Stay out of it,” Minho snapped.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELDJs6bCh

Cold enough to cut.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6P7vDlnQA

The older student looked between them and smirked again.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hqs0wYkhh

“Ohhh. So this is the new one?”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaupiWe1Ql

Minho’s jaw tightened instantly.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPs2mMUq67

“Shut the fuck up.”

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4TzFcEeq

For the first time—

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOLnm6szuv

Yujin saw real anger in his eyes.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKv0axH9nA

Not irritation.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyKX0UvRyx

Not exhaustion.

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAUdrtMuhq
