Chapter Text
At first he was curious about Han Noah, the popular student who always surrounded by people. Noah is good at everything, he is the fun guy everyone love and envy. Its so different from Hamin who always alone and only have Yejun-hyung as his friend and senior. Yejun is his neighbor hyung that he know since he was in the middle school and hamin always adore Yejun since they first met. That's why he go to Yejun's high school to follow him. Never know he will met Noah, Yejun's beautiful friend, whose at first he almost mistaken him as a girl.
Hamin didn't understand what's the feeling names, he just like to looking at Noah when he caught him from the corner of his eyes. Even though they rarely interacted, only when Yejun around, Hamin can speak with Noah. Most of the time Noah would tease him and he will tease him back. Hamin always annoyed with how Noah keep teasing him, still he think he adored their interaction.
It was raining that day when the school was over, Hamin forget to bring his umbrella. So he think he will wait at the entrance of the building for the rain to stop. That time he saw Noah running to the rain without umbrella. Hamin unconsciously grab Noah's arm to stop him, making Noah fall to his chest.
Hamin surprised with his action too but try to calm down, he look at Noah's face who look up to him and his breath stop for a bit. There's tears in the corner of Noah's eyes, the clear blue eyes look sprakle with the tears. His cheeks is red from crying and Hamin feel something wake inside him.
Noah-hyung is so pretty, i feel like i want to kiss him.
Wait, what the hell he was thinking about? Is he a prevert? Seeing Noah cry make him feel like that?
"What are you doing, Hamin! I almost get heart attack!"
Hamin shake his head after heard Noah complained
"I'm sorry. Its still rain, you will got soaked, hyung."
"So you grab me because of that? I know its rain you know but well thanks. You're a good kid."
Usually Hamin will retorted that he wasn't a kid, but he is too bother by Noah tears. Noah look at him and laugh a bit, the laugh feel empty though.
"What? You want to asked me why am i crying?"
"If Noah-hyung didn't mind."
"What if i mind?"
"Ah..."
"Pftt... you're a serious kid! But since you make me feel a bit better i guess i will tell you. I just witness my crush has a girlfriend and they're kissing. Ah... remembering it make me want to cry again but i feel embarrassed if i cry like a baby in front of my junior. So let me soaked in rain on the way of my home okay, Haminie."
Hamin grab him when the guy really want to run in the rain again.
"You will get sick!"
"You know even i look like this, i'm working out alot at my house. I even have private gym in my house."
"I know."
"So let me go, please."
"Still you get sick last month. Isn't third year a busy year? You must watched your health, Noah-hyung."
"Why are you nagging me now? Alright, i will wait for the rain to stop, so you must take responsibility."
"Responsibility?"
"Yeah because you didn't let me be dramatic in the rain and i still feel like shit, you must make me feel better."
"What must i do?"
"I don't know, thinking it yourself."
"Noah-hyung is really petty."
"Now you called me petty after nagging, i'm still your senior you know."
"I know but you don't mind if its me."
"Tsk, you aren't cute at all!"
Hamin laugh, this is why Noah is likeable. He is so laid-back even he is a senior. He didn't really mind about how his junior treat him, as long as they didn't really rude at him. That's why there's many juniors who like him. Sometimes Hamin feel proud that even there's many juniors who like Noah, the close junior for Noah is him and well there's two other, like that two senior in second year.
That afternoon Hamin asked Noah to sit in the corner of the entrance and let him watch his dance cover. Noah looks interested with what he did and in the end he teach Noah how to dance some challenges while waiting for the rain. Hamin successfully make Noah forget his pain smoothly, though when they separated and Noah arrived at his house he cry till morning. The next day Hamin didn't saw him again. Yejun said Noah is sick.
So even after he stop him from running in the rain the guy still get sick, or maybe Noah just skipping school because he still hurt. No one know but its make Hamin think, he really didn't make Noah feel better in the end.
All day in school Hamin feel bother by Noah. His head is empty only thinking about that pretty senior. If he thinking about it, Noah said his crush has a girlfriend so Noah crush is a guy? The guy has a girlfriend and he witness they're kisssing, maybe the guy is his friend? But Noah has many friends. Wich one is his crush. Maybe he can asked Yejun-hyung about his friend who recently has a girlfriend, after all Yejun and Noah have the same circle mostly. Even it's not, he remembered that yejun said Noah always talked anything with him. They've been childhood friend since they was in kindergarten.
"My friend who recently has a girlfriend? Why you suddenly asked me that, Haminie?"
"Ah, i just want to know."
"It's not like you interested with that kind of thing, but well i don't think there's. The last one is me and its been a week, i already tell you."
Hamin blinking. Wait it's true Yejun tell him last week about his girlfriend, there's no way Noah didn't know right? if the crush is Yejun that's it, but...
"Hyung, did you tell Noah about your girlfriend."
"Of course, he is the first one to know. But Hmm..."
"What is it?"
"I don't know, i feel like Noah kinda strange this days. Now the guy is sick, i'm worried about him."
"Strange? Like what?"
"Hahahaha... you always interested when we talking about Noah."
"I'm not!"
"It's okay, Noah is likeable. Everyone always interested in him. Well how can i put it, Noah like messing with me alot, right? But nowdays i feel like he didn't tease me that much. It's as if he bothered by something but when i asked him he said he is fine nothing to worry. Not like him at all, he always talked everything to me even the weird TMI, so i feel weird he seemed to hide something."
Well, how can he tell you if he has a crush on you and he in broken heart because you has a girlfriend?
Hamin didn't dare to talked like that, so instead he just nodded and agree with Yejun. Hamin can be wrong too, if Noah's crush is Yejun. Maybe Noah can't talk to Yejun because his crush is a guy, even though Hamin know Yejun isn't someone who hold prejudice yet maybe Noah still feel anxious.
"Well, whatever it was, i'm sure Noah will talk to me if he is ready. He always did after all."
Hamin always admire how Yejun feel positive in every situation, this is why Yejun is admirable hyung for him.
"Yeah, after all hyung is the only one who can stand him."
Yejun laughed and shakes his head.
"You always said something like that, even though you really like him."
Hamin blushed, Yejun laughed again seeing his reactions. It's so annoying! He blame Noah because Noah keep teasing him, so Yejun must get influenced by that.
"Hyung, stop it!"
Yejun try to stop his laugh by clearing his throat. Hamin can see its hard tho, huft...
"Oh don't sulk, Haminie. I'm sorry okay, ah how about this."
"What?"
"The teacher asked me to give this handouts from today lessons to Noah, want to delivered it?"
"Why me?"
"I know you worried about him."
"Hyung the one who said worried about him, not me."
"My worries is different. Anyway, i need to do something today. I will be late to go home and i don't want to bother sick person so late. So please Haminie, help your hyung?"
"Huft... alright i will do it."
"Thank you! I will treat you meat in the weekend okay."
"You will date your girlfriend in the weekend, hyung."
"I will make it somehow."
"Okay... I want premium meats."
"Whoa.. alright! For you i think it's wroth it."
