Minho tried his best to stay conscious and arranged his backpack weakly.
As soon as he was done,Soo-hyun and Minjun came up to him to leave the school together.
Soo-hyun was the first one to notice Minho's ghostly pale face.The red mark of fist becoming more clear on his cheek.
Soo-hyun:"What happened Minho?You look really sick.Should I call aunty?"
Minjun:"Soo is right.Are you okay Mini?"
Minho felt his two best friends' voices becoming more unclear with each passing second.
He stood up with weak legs and said with a shaky voice,"I am okay.I might be dehydrated,because of the summer's heat."
None of them bought his lame excuse.But Minho could not let his two besties finding about his eating disorder.
Out of desperation to prove his point,he started walking with all the energy,left in his body.
Well,wrong move...Because he could only take 10 steps,before feeling himself slipping away.
But strangely,Minho never felt the pain of his body making contact with the hard concrete floor.
Rather,he felt a big,strong hand scooping him up in bridal style.It was the last thing he could remember,before actually becoming unconscious.
Soo-hyun's POV:
As I saw Junghoon rushing to prevent Minho falling on the floor,I felt completely confused.
He looked kind of concerned(?).I looked at Minjun and he was as shocked as I was.
But Junghoon's weird behavior could be discussed later.We needed to take Minho to the Nurse's office.
Junghoon did exactly that and rushed my cousin there with us following him.
After a bit of examination,the nurse gave him some medicine and assured us that he would regain his consciousness soon.
We were requested to go outside for a bit to not disturb him.
As the three of us got out of this room,it was all awkward.
I looked at Junghoon and for the first time saw him in a different light.If Minho directly fell on that floor,the situation could be worse.
I smiled a bit.Maybe Junghoon was not that much of a horrible person,as we thought.
"Damn it!I had to touch that filthy bastard."
I heard him saying and immediately the smile was wiped away from my face.
I was not really surprised though.
"You two,listen.Don't ever dare to tell that bitch that I was the one,who helped him.Damn it!"
He threatened us and started walking away.Then,there was a sudden halt in his steps.
"Your friend never eats.What does he want to be?A runaway model?"
Junghoon said with obvious sarscam in his tone and finally left.
Although,his intend was to insult my cousin,he actually gave us a much needed informer.
I looked at Minjun and we both felt guilty.I kind of have a idea of Minho continuously lying to us...
But I never thought it to be true.I really need to have a long conversation with him.
"We are listening to what Junghoon just told us,right?"-Minjun asked me.
"Of course.Junghoon obviously wants to keep his image as Mini's bully.We can't ignore Junghoon's threat anyways."-I said.

Minho got his consciousness back after 1 hour exactly.
Soo-hyun and Minjun helped him to get back to his home safely and forced him to eat something infront of their eyes.
Only then they accepted to leave.Minho felt too guilty for troubling them like this.He could not even make eye contact with them properly.
He felt a bit good after eating and went to study his notes, on his study table.
He was finally safe inside the four wallsp of his room.
But one question kept disturbing him.Who stopped him from falling on the floor?He doesn't have a third friend other than Soo-hyun and Minjun.
When he asked them earlier,they ignored him and refused to answer.He did not ask again.
'Well,whoever it was,bless them.'-he thought.
He completed his studying session at 8.30 pm.He stood up and stretched lightly to feel his numb limbs once again.He was sitting in the same position for way too long.
He went infront of the body sized mirror and saw the read mark fading a bit on his cheeks.
His mood suddenly turned bad,after watching this.He really wanted to punch Junghoon back today.
That's just not possible...
He was feeling down.The only thing that made Minho happy was that there were only 2 days left till summer vacation.
He was going to meet Soo-hyun and Minjun anyways.And he would not have to watch Junghoon's face for a while.
So he had some hope.He only needed to spend the next two days patiently.
His door bell rang,interrupting his thought process.It was Mrs.Kim coming back home finally.
So Minho ran happily to invite his mom in.
