chapter five,
the one where he's torn and confused

━━━━ KITTY went to go grab hers and vivienne's uniforms along with a bag filled with makeup and stuff that they need. vivienne was going to go with her but when kitty left vivienne was inside of a room with min ho. quincy was inside of the room as well but then he left to go inside of the bathroom leaving the two alone.

"i need scissors." min ho said opening up the drawer of his desk and looking for scissors.

vivienne looked up from her phone and over at min ho. "why do you need scissors?" she asked and laughed due to how random min ho said that.

"this piece of hair won't lay flat and i need it to lay flat!" min ho huffed finding scissors and bringing it up to his head. vivienne rushed over to him snatching the the scissors away. "hey! give them back vinne!"

"stay still." vivienne hissed setting the scissors down. she stood in front of him, grabbing a sharp pencil from his desk and started to work wonders on his hair. min ho's eyes never left her face for a single second. it scared him a bit that he couldn't even bring himself to move his eyes away. they're glued onto her.

his eyes noticing little things on her face. like a freckles she has underneath her eyes. the single mole she had on the side of her nose. the way that she is softly biting her lip making the top lip suck in the bottom, he knew immediately that that was her concentrating look. she's been doing it ever since he met her.

he didn't like the way that her eyebrows were knitted together causing a crease to form in between her eyebrows. uncontrolled of his own action, he brought his thumb up to the crease between her eyebrows and rubbed his thumb against it.

"min ho." vivienne said going back to frowning but min ho gave her one last rough rub.

"your going to have wrinkly face if you keep on doing that." min ho said his hand running down the side of her face. vivienne gasped softly taken back by his actions but she didn't pull away. now it was his turn to frown his eyebrows as her beauty was now fully brought into light at this moment that his hand was running down her arm and up to her hand.

"vinne, i'm sorry for being such a jerk. for the day that i didn't respond. i swear i did respond, i don't get it." min ho apologized but his eyes never met vivienne's. his eyes was taking in her beauty and then back at her eyes. he was getting terrified of his own actions that he has no control of.

"you were kind of a jerk." vivienne giggled smiling from side to side and blushing widely. min ho scoffed moving his hand away from her and shaking his head. vivienne brought her hands up to the side of his face and tilted it up to look at her. "be a jerk to me again and i promise you i will never talk to you again. okay?"

"mhm." min ho gulped nodding his head frantically. "okay."

"vivi! vivi, i'm back!" kitty said bursting through the door and shrieking going back out and slamming the door. during that process vivienne backed up from min ho. min ho groaned softly and threw his head back twirling around on his chair to face the door.

vivienne opened the door and closed it pressing her back against it. kitty stood in front of her with wide eyes, mouth open, and a mischievous look. "you and min ho? oh my god, vivi! you and min ho! you like—" vivienne cut kitty off by pressing her hand on her mouth shushing her. "you like him!" she said muffling.

"no! i will never like him! he's min ho." vivienne said unknowingly to her that min ho had his ear pressed against the door listening to their conversation. "he's not the romantic type. and i—"

"you want hearts and flowers." kitty shrieked lowly jumping on her toes like as if it was christmas for her.

vivienne sighed deeply nodding her head, "i want hearts and flowers."

it doesn't matter where in the world vivienne is and learning. she hates school. she hates how she has to learn all of this subjects knowing damn well that these teachers didn't have to learn that many subjects to be a teacher.

the first half of her classes went by smoothly. she had kitty for almost all of her classes. she had one with dae, and a few with min ho and quincy. lunch finally came, vivienne's favorite hour. she happily grabbed her food and eat it happily without muttering a single word to quincy who was telling her chew not swallow.

"hey! what's up, guys?" kitty said sitting across from quincy and vivienne.

"hey, you're the portland—"

"portland stalker, yeah. i earned a serial killer name on day 1. vivi chew or your going to chock." kitty said noticing the way that vivienne was savoring every part of her lunch but also eating like it was going to be her last meal.

"she's right, vi. kitty, look, we really shouldn't be talking to you. well, i gotta stay on team dae." quincy said giving kitty a sad look.

"i'm on team let me eat in peace." vivienne said giving them a sarcastic smile.

"does team dae know that he and i have been together for years, and this whole yuri thing is weird and probably fake?" kitty suggested.

"weird, yes. but fake? come on, life ain't a k-drama." quincy said shaking his head.

"well i did find it weird with the news this morning. that wasn't our dae, and you know it." vivienne said now eating slower and breaking her pie piece by piece and shoving it inside of her mouth. quincy sighed deeply agreeing with her on that one.

"you saw the heat crackling between us this morning, right? we were seconds away from kissing." kitty said.

"i'm sorry what?" vivienne asked not knowing about this. "where was i?"

"maybe he's torn and confused." quincy said and then looked over at vivienne, "i think you were talking with min ho."

"he's not confused. he's misreable." kitty said pointing her finger over at dae who did in fact look miserable. he kept on moving his body away from yuri who was trying hard to make them look like a happy and healthy couple. vivienne was able to look through it.

"i know what i'm talking about, trust me." kitty said placing her palms on the table ready to explain to them. "my sister, lara jean, was in a fake relationship with her boyfriend, peter." vivienne and quincy gave each other a knowingly look. "kind of my fault, then it turned real, and they're still together." kitty then looked up and saw their expressions. "but that's not gonna happen with yuri and dae. i know. i'm a matchmaker."

kitty then noticed how neither of them were paying attention to her. vivienne was too deep into her own mind while eating her pie but kitty could see the way that vivienne's pupils were dilated. quincy yawned while looking at someone causing kitty to look behind her and see a boy yawning as well but he was looking down at his book.

"okay, i still don't—"

"you like him." kitty stated.

"florian? no, no." quincy scoffed shaking his head but still giving small glanced over to florian.

"he was just yawning, then you yawned, and yawns are contagious, so," kitty explained giving quincy a look.

"he's an elitist. he thinks not liking marvel movies is a personality." now it was vivienne's and kitty's turn to give each other a knowingly look knowing that that was far from the truth.

"okay buddy." vivienne laughed.

"well, you're hot, he's hot, let's move on it." kitty said backing away from her seat. quincy shook his head and vivienne was shocked at how optimistic kitty is. "sorry. god, i forgot i wasn't in portland, and i should not assume that you're gay, or that you're out, or assume anything."

"i am out." quincy said calming down kitty. "don't get me wrong, compared to the us, seoul isn't exactly gay-friendly..." quincy said sighing deeply. "but i have family in iran and the philippines, so i basically spend every vacation in hetero cosplay summer camp. and besides, even if i was interested, florian wouldn't be. he hates athletes, and my thighs are tree trunks."

"come on, let me help you." kitty begged.

"thank you, but no thank you. see you later." quincy said to vivienne giving her a quick kiss on the head and waving at the others before leaving. vivienne smiled fondly at her best friend and went back to her food.

"florian just has to be. you can't tell me he's not a little bit. a gay can sense another gay from miles away. and i sense it." vivienne said openly admitting to kitty. everyone knows, like quincy, that vivienne is bisexual. yet it's not something that she goes around and tells everyone, it's not something she thinks it's a big deal like everyone makes it seem like.

"mhm. mhm. can i help you get with min ho?" kitty asked nicely. her full teeth being shown with her wide smile. kitty even brought her hands up to her chin to create a cuter look for vivienne to say yes too.

"uh, let me think about it." vivienne hummed putting a finger to her chin and pretending to think. vivienne then leaned forward causing kitty to lean forward with a happy expression. her happy expression then dropped as soon as vivienne said, "no."

"come on!"
