Chapter 17 - Don't wory baby. I'll be back.

Ahyeong scoffed at Minhyuk and went back to her class. Minhyuk frowned and stood up, about to leave as well when the principal stopped him.

"Your extra class will be in my office. Tell your friends to leave. You'll stay here after your classes. I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Minhyuk nodded and went to the class as well.

After two - to - three lectures, one lecture was free. Minhyuk stood up and left the class without the other two. They looked at eachother confused.

"Should we go after him?"

Jiwoo asked.

"Lets give him some space. He might not be in a good mood."

Jaekyung said in reply.

"What if he needs to be comforted?"

Jiwoo asked.

"Atleast we should call and ask him. If he doesn't want us with him at the moment, he'll tell us, right?"

When Jiwoo pressed further, Jaekyung sighed and called Minhyuk. He picked up.

"Hey! Where did you go? You didn't seem to be in a good mood."

Jaekyung asked.

"Yeah! I'm not in a good mood right now. Meet me at the cafe. I'll tell you then."

Saying this, Minhyuk ended the call.

Jaekyung looked at Jiwoo, told her that Minhyuk's not in a good mood and that they should meet him in the cafe.

Both of them gathered their things and went to the cafe.

When they got there, they found Minhyuk sitting there, with three glasses of sweet drinks.

They went to his table. Jaekyung sat beside him and Jiwoo sat across the both of them.

"Are these for us?" Jiwoo asked innocently.

Minhyuk looked at her and then a small laugh left his lips.

"Yeah! It's for both of you. The mango flavour is yours."

"You remember my favourite things, huh? I'm so lucky to have you." Jiwoo said dramatically, trying to lift up the mood.

Jaekyun joined in as well, "Yes! Master, we, two peasants would be nothing without your mercy."

Minhyuk laughed genuinely this time.

"Ok! You both can stop now. I'm already in a good mood because of your presence. You don't have to do anything else.Just being here is enough for me." Minhyuk said.

Jaekyung and Jiwoo smiled.

"Oh my god! I'm gonna cry."

Jiwoo said while wiping the non-existent tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Oh me too, girl!" Jaekyung said while doing the same gesture as Jiwoo.

Minhyuk shook his head.

"Ok! So, let's get to the topic."

"Hmm!" Jaekyung and Jiwoo said at the same time, ready to listen.

"So.... the principal punished me. Instead of Ahyeong. He said that I have to stay for a so called extra class while Ahyeong was free to go. It pissed me off. I told him what she was doing. But he didn't believe me. He chose to believe her. I really wanted to chop her head off when she scoffed at me. How dare she?!"

"To be honest, if I was there, I would've done it. She'd be dead."

Jiwoo said.

"Yeah man! Hats off to your level of patience. You wanted to chop her head only. I would've chopped her into pieces and fed her to stray dogs."

Jaekyung said with a weird expression on his face. Jiwoo hissed.

"No! Jaekyung-ah, why are you disrespecting the stray dogs? They deserve better." She said.

Minhyuk laughed again at them, feeling much better now.

"So, as I would be staying here, you both have to go home. Don't wait for me. Ok?"

"Yes sir!"

Both of them responded with a salute.

"You both are too much." Minhyuk said.

"And you like it." Jaekyung said while side eyeing him.

"Yes! You do." Jiwoo said, agreeing to Jaekyung's statement.

Then they went to their next class.

...

After they were done with their classes, Jaekyung and Jiwoo bid farewell to Minhyuk.

Ofcourse they were being dramatic!

"Oh my! It feels like-- oh I can't speak"

*muffled crying*

Jiwoo acted like she was actually about to cry and hid her face in Jaekyung's jacket. He patted her head.

Minhyuk pulled her back from Jaekyung's embrace and side hugged her to which she got shocked and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry babe! I'll be back."

Jiwoo immediately freed herself from his grip and smacked his arm, cussing at him for being too much.

"Woah! Mind your manners. I didn't cuss at you when you were being too much."

Minhyuk said.

"I wasn't being all touchy - touchy with you, okay?"

When Jiwoo said that, Minhyuk smirked.

"Why? You don't like me being touchy with you in public? Don't worry! Once I'm back, we can continue in my room."

Minhyuk said with an innocent smile. Jiwoo was about to throw hands when Jaekyung picked her up and took her away.

She tried to free herself. But as Jaekyung's grip was too strong, she gave up and instead, showed her middle fingers to Minhyuk.

In reply, he sent a flying kiss to her and she made a face like she was throwing up.

Then Jaekyung took her out of the university and put her down.

"It's good that you picked me up. Or else, he would be dead meat."

Jiwoo said and Jaekyung smiled.

"Yeah! He owes me now. I literally saved his life. Now let's reach home. Jihan hyung's home early. He'll be cooking dinner "

Jaekyung said while squealing. Jiwoo side eyed him but then she started to squeal too.

"Yes!!! Bro, do you know cooking?"

Jiwoo asked Jaekyung.

"Uhhh! I can cook simple things. Like,-- what should I say. I can make food if I have recipes. Proper ones. Otherwise, I would burn the kitchen. Or the whole house. That's why no one let's me cook."

"It's okay! I cannot even make simple things, you know? At least you know something. It's better than nothing."

Jiwoo said. Then she stood on her toes and ruffled his hair.

"You know, you are a very good listener and you know how to comfort someone. Jokes aside, even though cooking is not that big of a matter for me. You still made me feel good about the little knowledge I have."

Jaekyung said, wrapping an arm around Jiwoo's shoulder. She smiled.

"I know~" she replied while flipping her hair.

"I feel bad for Minhyuk. He got into trouble because of me." Jiwoo said while sighing.

"How can you change your emotions so fast?" Jaekyung asked, genuinely surprised because a second ago, Jiwoo was being all funny and now she was gloomy.

Jiwoo jabbed him slightly with her elbows.

And just like that, while talking and hitting eachother, both of them reached home.
