Pretty Boy; Junhao

Xu Minghao

"Minghao! Wait up!" Dino shouted as he spotted me walking towards school.

It's like everything went back to normal again. It seems like nothing happened. Jun and I didn't fight and Chan never confessed his feeling for me. I don't know how it happened but it did.

As of for me, I went back to being this shy, insecure kid. Because of the past incident, I became conscious and insecure about myself. Not only is it making me weak but it's burdening others as well.

"Hi! Where's Minghao?" Jun asked, looking for something around. I had my head down so I lifted it up to give him a confused look.

"Because the Minghao I knew is either cheerful or really snappy." Jun answered, taking his seat beside me.

"Hao, seriously. Stop being so down. Everything is okay now." Jun reassured. I wish that's true. I wish I could believe it.

"I can't help it." I mumbled. I want to make Jun happy, that's for sure but worrying him isn't helping our relationship at all.

"C'mere." Jun stated, spreading his arms wide for a hug. I was hesitant since we're in a classroom but I gave in, thinking maybe a hug is all I need right now. It was a nice hug. It really lightens me up a bit.

"Get a room, you two!" Someone shouted, probably Mingyu. I let go of Jun and just smiled at him. We talked for a bit more before the teacher entered the class.

*Lunch time*

Jun bought me lunch since I wasn't eating from the previous day. I told him not to bother because I can buy myself one but he insisted on paying it.

I have to be more cheerful, atleast for Jun.

"Hey Hao, I saw you reading this book and I find the sypnosis really interesting." Jun started when we took a seat at our table.

"Oh you mean this?" I said as I pulled out the romance book that I was reading a while ago. He gave a sheepy nod so I smiled back.

"Here take it."

"But you haven't finished it yet." Jun said.

"Yeah I know. I want you to narrate the ending for me."

"I'll ruin the story for you." He said jokingly.

"I don't mind an ugly story once in a while." I shrugged.

"Are you sure?" Jun asked once more. I gave him a happy nod and he took the book happily.

"But why the sudden interest in books?" I asked, feeling curious.

"My sister loves it when my mom reads her romance stories. I guess it kinds of reminded me of her." He answered honestly. I replied with a smile and continued eating.

"Probability is the..." mr. Yang blabbed. Math class is getting more boring as time goes by. I wasn't alone because I saw Jun yawning at my side. I yawned as well, starting to feel a bit sleepy.

"Jun." I whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Tap me if he calls me okay? I'm taking a nap." He gave me a thumbs up before putting his gaze back on the board. I lowered my head and started to drift off to dreamland.

Around 5 minutes later, Mingyu tapped me on the shoulders to wake me up.

"Mr. Xu and Mr. Wen." Mr. Yang repeated.

"Who gave you the permission to sleep in my class?" I look to my side to see Jun waking up from he's short slumber. We're still a bit dazed so we wasn't able to reply to his question.
