______________

i never mentioned to the boys that i watched their videos. a few hours passed and the three of us finally decided to leave the apartment. of course, i never forgot to thank seungkwan for his sacrifice. it must be so hard for him to let go of his collection. soonyoung was on the wheel (as usual) while minghao and i stayed at the backseat. the boy tells me about how he keeps receiving notes in his locker these days.

"are they love notes?" i playfully hit his arm. he reached for his bag and handed me a paper "i don't know if that counts as a love note but it doesn't really look like one to me." i carefully unfolded the pink note.

我希望你生活的愉快，你這個混蛋。

"the fuck is this?" i asked the boy who started laughing because i couldn't understand what it says. he took the paper back and kept it in his pocket, "it's nothing. i'd like to think it's just from junhui."

"what if it's not from him?"

"then fuck it. i don't care who's it from. unless it's from a seventeen supporter too, but i doubt."

"did you reply?"

"i replied with a who are you but i didn't get an answer."

"did you really think he'd tell you?" i snickered and the boy just shook his head as he chuckled. soonyoung dropped him by his house and that was the first time i ever saw it. it was a nice little starter house in the sims, just like soonyoung's. then the car ride was silent on the way home.

the next day, i woke up to soonyoung's loud ass alarm of something like a hurricane or i don't fucking know. i rolled off the bed and realized that he was missing, says a lot about why no one was turning the alarm off. just when i pressed on his phone, he walked off the bathroom, wearing his gym clothes and fixing his hair with a towel.

"you have gym classes?" i asked

"yeah, and good morning!" he cheered. it's early yet he's already so loud. i lazily got up to get ready for school, then we ate breakfast. yes, this is how boring my mornings are.

on the way to the school, soonyoung was playing classical music, as usual. when we hopped off, he accompanied me all the way to my classroom where seokmin was waiting for me. they did this little secret handshake thing with each other before the boy kissed my forehead. then he ran off to his first class.

"good morning, minseul," seok greeted "seungkwan isn't here. he told me he'll be absent for today."

during lunch time, i gathered the boys around and told them about what seungkwan did so we could all pay 2 million each. all of them had their jaws on the ground.

"he did that!?" jihoon couldn't believe it "what a self sacrificing asshole."

"jihoon watch your mouth, we're on probation," wownwoo uttered

"am i not supposed to curse?" jihoon asked "well excuse you, i believe in existentialism. i am free to choose my actions and i am totally responsible for what i make of myself, and my rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. thank you."

soonyoung adorably clapped his hands, "that was a great answer!"

"no, your decision is not based solely on freedom, but based on your nerves and inner thinking that you might subconsciously think that maybe swearing could help. your action is defined by external factors. existentialism who? i only know determinism," wonwoo replied.

soonyoung's mouth formed an 'o' then he clapped again, "that's a great answer too!"

"wow i didn't know that we got philosophers in seventeen," mingyu chuckled "anyway, have you heard? daein's going to study in busan."

"of all the fucking places," jihoon slammed his head on the table "ouch."

mingyu leaned closer to keep his voice low, "but i'm not sure yet, i just heard it from a few students."

"well i hope she never comes back," chan muttered. minghao finally arrived to join us for lunch. he slid his bag off his shoulder and sat down next to joshua, "sorry i'm late, i just checked on something."

"seems like our thug has been receiving love notes these days," junhui chuckled half heartedly "what did you get for today?"

minghao showed us a green note with the text, 你是我每一天的動力。

junhui rolls his eyes, then he drawled "motivation, wow,"

"are you sure this isn't you?" minghao asked him. junhui pointed at himself then shook his head, "i don't write cheesy shit, xu minghao."

"i sense an admirer," mingyu wiggle his eyebrows while minghao just waved him off, "i doubt."

"maybe this girl liked you after you roasted daein. because boy, you slayed," hansol told him. junhui groaned and out of nowhere, excused himself for a bit. then the boys exchanged stares

"is he on his period?" seokmin asked "minseul, you might wanna help him with that."

"ew, stop," i flicked the boy's ear.

"anyhow-"

"anyhow, more like anyhao," mingyu threw finger guns at everyone "get it? because minghao said it and it's any-"

"we get it, kim mingyu," seungcheol cut him off. then minghao started talking again, "as i was saying, these letters are always in my locker the next morning, i just forgot to check it earlier. that means that this girl, or boy, whatever, sneaks up every night when school is about over."

"do you plan on knowing who it is?" chan asked

"i don't know, maybe not until he or she confesses. to keep it thrilling, you know what i mean?"

"i like how he assumes it could be a boy," mingyu laughed "right wonwoo?"

"shut up."

after lunch was a quick snap back to reality. i was walking down the hallway at 5pm when i felt strong arm around my waist and a hand on my mouth.

"wen junhui what the hell is this?" i shouted when we got to the janitor's closet. mingyu and chan were there too.

"do you remember the specialized extracurricular expulsion squad?" he asked "well it's back now."

"um, last time i checked seungkwan was the leader," gyu told him before he got hit on the forehead "shut up, i got his permission to be the substitute," jun replied

"isn't minghao a member too? and it's execution, not expulsion."

"i kinda....kicked him out. without him knowing."

"why?" i raised a brow

"because! we have to figure out who leaves love letters in his locker, not that i'm desperate to know but, you know!! i'm just uhh happy for minghao but i have to know who this girl is because we never know, she might be dangerous and i might wanna have to have a little talk with her about her feelings with him so i could-"

"dude, take some time to fucking breathe," mingyu told him

"okay," jun lets out a deep breath

"and are you sure you're happy for him because it doesn't seem like it," chan added "spill the tea."

"i DON'T like him in that way."

"and you expect us to believe that because?"

"because..." the boy sighed "fuck it, let's just do this okay? by 6pm we're all gonna wait."

i sighed, "why do i get to be with gyu?"

"because you're both, i don't know... your names start with an m. whatever," jun puts a paper on the ground

"don't tell me you did all that for this plan," i muttered

"he didn't. that's my unfinished paper in english class. i was sketching instead of listening," mingyu laughed "then he just wrote on it with a black marker."

jun explained minghao's usual route to exit the building at the end of classes. the main locker area is between the two yellow walls, where mingyu and i will be waiting, while the other two will be on the opposite side, for the lookout. they're going to be having a small cardboard of 'free hugs for charity' where the students will also be signing on a small piece of paper after they hug lee chan. WOW

at 6pm, i fixed my things and left the classroom, texting soonyoung that we won't be coming home together because i have something to do after class. a few minutes in and he texts back with an 'i will just wait for you with coups and joshua at highlight. we have a hyung talk or smth. meet me there when you're done!'

i kept my phone in my pocket then surprisingly, i met up with minghao along the way. he greeted, "hello, minseul. heading home alone?"

"ah, no," i replied "i have a meeting in astrophysics."

"oh, that club with soonyoung and shua hyung? but i met them earlier and they were free for the rest of the day."

"really?" i gulped "i mean, really! yes, they're free because the meeting is only for....the ones in charge for the astrology camp!"

"woah that's good," he chuckled "so, i'll see you around, short stuff."

"wow you really had to drop the name," i shook his head and he just ruffled my hair before waving off. by the end of the hall, mingyu was already waiting for me. we walked to the destined area and accidentally found two students making out. right next to minghao's locker.

"geez," i stepped back.

"happens a lot in this area, this is where couples go, minseul."

"how did you know?"

"i got a few girls who wanted to meet me here. but i never showed up," he answered, shrugging "i'm just not the type."

"well minghao is pretty unfortunate to have his locker placed there." we sat on the small bench or whatever you call it. about three minutes later, the two students were still eating each other up. although mingyu and i weren't looking, we could hear it. "ugh when are they going to stop though?" i whispered. my phone buzzed and i received a message from jun.

-OFMGJFN

___________

another three minutes later and the students finally walked off. hallelujah. i stood up to walk around the place while mingyu just stared at the empty space. what if the secret admirer doesn't come?

"jun is a bastard, dragging us here," mingyu muttered

"just let him be, the guy has love problems going on."

"lucky me, i only have handsome guy problems."

"you're a bastard too, kim mingyu."

just when our conversation ended, junhui texted me again with a 'THERE'S SOMEONE HEADING TO YOUR DIRECTION AHKDHDNS KEEP AN EYE' wow, i thought. he can't calm the fuck down can he? i sat back down next to gyu then a girl entered the place.

i could tell that she was slightly taken aback when she saw me.

"um...are you guys waiting here for something? am i invading your privacy?" she mumbled as mingyu turned around

"no, we just came here to...." i looked at the boy, signaling him to think of a lie.

"we're just in the middle of a.....talk....you know," mingyu added "couple stuff, trying to work the relationship out."

"okay?" the girl felt something was off "aren't you, from seventeen?"

"me? oh...i get that a lot," the boy chuckled "but no, my name is boo.... soongyu."

"oh, well your boyfriend is handsome," the girl smiled at me"if don't mind, i'm just going to fix my things." she casually turned the dial clockwise and entered the combination like it's her own locker. then she placed a purple note inside with a small box and closed it.

woah what the hell?

"nice meeting you, boo soongyu and you....."

"choi jisoo."

"great! i hope your relationship goes smoothly. well, i'll see you around, short stuff!" she told me and skipped away. then mingyu and i heaved a sigh. after a few seconds, junhui and chan came running towards us.

"is it her? we got her name!" jun told us

"yeah it's her."

"her name is uhh, kim jiwoo," chan read from the paper

"did you guys really do that free hugs thing?"

"yeah, lots of people hugged me, see?" chan showed the paper with almost 20 signatures. jun smirks, "now that i got her name, it will be easy to get rid of her."

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

"what?" junhui asked "i didn't say anything!"
