Unfortunately, Hyun and Min couldn't stay in the moment forever.
As Hyun and Min were lost in their passionate moment, their tranquility was shattered by the sound of approaching footsteps. Reacting swiftly, Hyun pushed Min away, inadvertently hitting him on the forehead with his gold-plated ring. Min winced in pain, cradling his forehead with both hands.
With their hearts approaching high speed, they overheard voices outside the classroom, signaling the need to hide. Acting on instinct, Min scrambled under a nearby table, seeking refuge in its dusty shadows. Meanwhile, Hyun's mind raced with thoughts of defending Min, his fists clenched as he prepared to unleash his years of martial arts training on anyone who threatened them. The tension in the room was palpable as they braced themselves for what lay ahead.
A moment later, the door swung open, and two figures entered—Manu and Ishi. Manu appeared sheepish, his hands fidgeting behind his back, while Ishi exuded an air of determination, standing by his side like a protective guardian. Sensing their presence, Hyun and Min let their guards down, but still held their breath, unsure of their intentions.
Ishi leaned in, whispering encouragingly to Manu, urging him to ask the burning question as she showed a teacherly look. Timidly, Manu began, stumbling over his words as he addressed Hyun, his voice laced with both regret and innocence.
"So, um, the chocolates you gave me..." Manu paused, his eyes darting nervously. "Ah, um, are you okay, tall man?"
Hyun's anxiety melted away as he realized the nature of Manu's inquiry. He let out a sigh of relief, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. With a gentle nod, he reassured Manu that everything was fine, granting him permission to continue.
Emerging from his hiding spot, Min cautiously crawled out, bidding farewell to his temporary friend, the wall gecko, who had offered some companionship in the darkness. A mixture of relief and warmth surged through him as he observed the interaction between Hyun and Manu.
Manu, his voice now oozing innocence, explained that he had shared the chocolates with his friends, leaving him empty-handed. At that moment, Hyun couldn't resist the charm of Manu's plea, his heart swelling with affection. He couldn't help but express his fondness by playfully squeezing Manu's cheeks, promising to shower him and Ishi with an abundance of candy the following day.
Aware of the precariousness of their situation, Hyun swiftly sent Manu and Ishi on their way, ensuring their departure would attract minimal attention. With the interruption momentarily diffused, Hyun and Min were left with a blend of emotions—relief for evading discovery and a touch of sweetness brought by the kids' innocent request for more sweets.
In that brief encounter, the unexpected intrusion had become a catalyst for tenderness, strengthening the bond between Hyun and Min, and leaving them longing for a time when they could once again indulge in their shared secret.
An awkward silence soon fell over the boys.
Hyun broke the silence with a rhetorical question, expressing his frustration. "How long do we have to stay in here? I mean, we could go out and act normal, but what if those idiots figure us out? Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but... I don't know. Even if they don't catch us, I don't want to stay in this suffocating atmosphere. It's draining."
Min offered a solution, suggesting they escape to his nearby house, just a few blocks away from the school. Hyun squinted his eyes, perplexed by the unexpected suggestion.
"Wait, what?"
Min maintained a serious expression as he clarified, "My house is close by. We can get away from all of this. They won't even notice."
A cheeky smile took over Hyun's lips as he teased, "Min's being a bad boy, huh?"
"You know, this is quite unusual for you," Hyun remarked, his voice breathy. "But I like it."
Min's heart slowly ascended, his cheeks warming with a flush. As they contemplated the plan, one major concern lingered in Hyun's mind.
"What about the guard? He won't just let us stroll out, you know."
"That guy is probably taking his afternoon nap," Min assured, his grip tightening as he grasped Hyun's hand.
"Are you sure? If we get caught, it's game over for both of us," Hyun cautioned, his voice filled with both trust and worry.
Min's firm squeeze conveyed his determination as he pleaded, "Trust me. Please."
Hyun's voice softened with each word as he reassured, "I trust you. I trust you, alright." Leaning in, he gently kissed Min's forehead, his finger lingering on the spot where the ring had accidentally caused pain.
"Does it still hurt?" Hyun asked, his touch delicate and caring.
Min smiled, the pain momentarily forgotten. "I forgot about it until you mentioned it."
Hyun's hand caressed Min's cheek, his gaze fixed on his eyes, savoring the connection between them. With a shared understanding, they set their escape plan into motion.
