Boys Like You || Svt

Chapter 24

Jisoo watched from afar as his friends laughed and talk with the rest of Impact. He sighed as he saw Seungcheol stop Jeonghan from falling out his seat from laughing so much. It hurts him to know that he never seen Jeonghan laughed so much like that ever since middle school was over.

But what hurts him more is the fact that he stopped his best friend from laughing like that. Truth be told, Jisoo knew that Jeonghan had the biggest crush on Seungcheol since middle school. But since he's Seokmin's friend, Jeonghan dated other guys for the sake of his friendship with Jisoo.

Jisoo sighed for the nth time as he looked down to his book bag. In the book bag was his Hello Kitty lunchbox from Elementary. Jisoo smiled as a flashback from earlier that day popped up.

"Bye Jisoo" a classmate sent her farewells to the golden brown haired boy who gave her his farewells back as he packed up the rest of his stuff. Once he was done, he swung the bag over his shoulder before heading out the classroom. As he stepped out, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He looked over to see Lee Seokmin standing there with a smile placed on his face. "What do you want Lee?" Jisoo asked as he started his walk to the cafeteria. "How was class?" Seokmin asked as he fell into step with the other. "I know you did not just wait outside my classroom just to ask me how it went." Jisoo said in total disbelief.

Seokmin laughed as the statement was true, he didn't wait outside of Jisoo's class just to ask him how it went. "True, I was just trying to start up a conversation before I started my apology." Seokmin remarked with another laugh. Jisoo froze at those words, "apology?" He questioned as he turned to the younger.

"Yea, I wanted to say I'm sorry for all the hurtful words I say to you back in Elementary school. I was taught that liking girl stuff when you're a boy is a sin and I thought I was doing the right thing by taking your lunchbox and telling you how you shouldn't like girl stuff." Started as he played with his hands.

"But I was wrong and I only found that out when we were in middle school. Back then I realized that liking girl stuff wasn't a sin or liking a boy isn't a sin. And you showed me that, the first time I saw you cross dressed I was mesmerized. And Jisoo....I had a crush on you" Seokmin breathed out as his eyes met the others. To say the least, Jisoo was stunned. What was he supposed to say in that moment.

"A-and I know it's going to take you some time or you still might hate me, but here." Seokmin said as he went inside his book bag and pulled out a lunchbox. He handed it over to Jisoo with a smile. Jisoo stared at the Hello Kitty lunchbox in his hands with shock and disbelief. This was the exact same lunchbox that Seokmin stole from him back in Elementary.

"Y-you still had it?" Jisoo breathed out as he looked up towards the other. "Well...yea. I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't keep it, but I couldn't throw it away. So it kinda just sat in my room." Seokmin shrugged as he stuffed his hands into his pockets.

The lunch bell ring once more and the few students in the halls either went to the cafeteria or the courtyard, leaving the two in the hallway alone. "Well....I hope you can forgive me someday. See ya Jisoo." Seokmin waved as he entered the cafeteria leaving Jisoo to stand in the hallway by himself.

✩

Jisoo sighed as the smile never left his face. "Maybe it was time to let go...." He thought out loud as he looked back at the other table where his friends were at. He watched them with a wide smile on his face before his eyes landed on Seokmin who was telling them a story, making everyone laugh.

Something in Jisoo started to flutter as he watched the younger throw himself back as he laughed. "I mean he did apologize...twice and gave back my lunchbox." Jisoo said with a shrug as he threw his bag over his shoulder and picked up his tray.
