BACKPACK - seungchan

Seungmin POV

"This isn't my backpack!" I shout as I fall back onto my bed. I begin to panic, wondering who has mine if I accidentally took theirs. Then I have a brief moment of common sense as I realise I can just look at their notebooks and see if they've written in their name.

As I flip open the front cover of a yellow spiral-bound notebook, I'm greeted by a full page of tiny flowers. They were obviously drawn over a long time, all tangled up in each other's petals and leaves, several colours of ink decorating the little meadow. I can't help but smile.

My smile quickly fades when I flip the page and notice the name scrawled in the top left corner: Bang Chan.

If I have Chan's backpack, then he has mine. And if he has my backpack, he can look at all my stuff. And if he looks at all my stuff, he's gonna find all those notes I wrote him but never had the guts to send. And if he sees those, he'll think I'm a crazy stalker and I'll lose whatever shred of hope I have about ever being with him.

I groan and roll over, burying my face in my sheets and mentally planning my funeral once I die of humiliation when Chan sees the notes. My pity party is interrupted when my phone beeps.

DandyBoy: *That was supposed to say cool i hate autocorrect with my whole existence

AussieChris: phat uwu bby you think i'm cute

DandyBoy: Stfu just please don't look through my stuff it's too organised. Please don't ruin it.

"Too organised?!" I grab a handful of my hair in exasperation. "How could I be any more cringeworthy? He probably thinks I'm hiding something. He probably thinks I'm psychotic! Jesus, why am I like this?!"

AussieChris: ok bb same for you (;

DandyBoy: k.

I already know I can't keep my promise to Chan. I'm a very curious person. And my curiosity is finally getting the best of me as I feel myself craving to look through the bag to see if I can find anything interesting.

I give in.

Chan has a lot more to his personality than he lets people see. This kid writes music. And poetry. And the most shocking part is... he's really, really good at it. He has a lot of crumpled-up notes from him and his friends in class. Most of them talk about who I'd assume is someone's crush. I'd bet the notes were between Chan and Jisung, since they hang out so much. As I continue to read through them I find some that are interesting.

One person wrote, "ok he's lookin like a whole ass cutie today i may have uwu-ed"

Another person responded with, "jfc b you're so whipped just ask him out instead of staring at him across the classroom every day. we're in chem with him, so go find out if you two have chemistry~"
