Smiling: the Best Line of (1/1)

Stupidity and Pride, Chapter 23: Smiling: the Best Line of Attack A few days passed by and Taemin moved out of your house. Your parents were also in Paris (for important errands), which left you living alone at home again. Everything was quite normal except those moments when Taemin conspicuously avoided you. Every time the two of you would meet, only an awkward silence filled the conversation as if you were complete strangers, however, one thing puzzled you the most: Minho suddenly became sweet and clingy.It would only be natural for Minho to be sweet and clingy since he was your fake boyfriend; the weirdest part, however, was while he expressed nothing short of joy, you could tell deep in his eyes, that there was sadness caused by an unknown origin.It was lunch break; you and Minho were sitting next to each other as usual. You were eating your lunch while listening to Onew and Jonghyun’s argument about chicken when Minho suddenly said, “Babe, feed your boyfriend.” His face sported his infamous aegyo attack. The members looked at him in disgust. Why did he become so cheesy suddenly? He’s not like this before. Do these things really happen to someone in love, they pondered to themselves.“You have two hands. Why not feed yourself?” You asked coldly, not bothering to look at him.“But my hands are sore from too much dribbling!” he whined.“Don’t try to fool me, I know you very well, Choi Minho. You’ll be tired of doing nothing but, never in doing everything.” You rolled your eyes.“Fine, don’t feed your boyfriend whose hands are sore because he wants his girlfriend to be proud of him by being an amazing basketball player.” He said, looking like he’s about to cry, clutching on his dear hand.“Just forget about it. Guilt trip won’t work either.” You scoffed and continued to eat.Minho pouted but, started to eat, deflated.“You really need improvement in persuading a girl, Minho-ah,” Key advised as he eyed Minho.“Yeah, boys are cool that way. You need to learn the best line of attack,” Jonghyun added while handing Banana milk to Taemin.“Best line of attack?” Onew asked and Key nodded.“One smile and pop!" He emphasized the last words with a hand gesture, as if he was quickly casting a magic spell. "The girl will do everything you want.” Jonghyun explained with his hands waving around.“Like that will actually work,” you mumbled, taking a small lick of your favorite dessert: ice cream.“Give me an example.” Minho challenged, not believing Jonghyun at all.At that moment a girl was walking to her table, holding a sandwich. Jonghyun smirked and mouthed, “Watch.” As the girl passed by their table, Jonghyun called out, “Miss.”The girl looked questioningly at Jonghyun.“Can I have that sandwich of yours? I’m really hungry and I forgot my wallet at home,” He smoothly lied and gave her puppy eyes.“What the hell?! No-““Please?” Jonghyun flashed an irresistably. The girl became starstruck and couldn’t say or do anything.“Miss?” Jonghyun asked, waving his hand in front of the girl’s face, still smiling.“Um…su-sure” the girl handed her sandwich to Jonghyun and walked away, still starstruck.Minho couldn't hide the shock on his face, but he wasn't the only one.“H-how did you do that?” you were the first to recover out of everyone. You never knew that a smile strategy would actually work.Jonghyun smiled in victory, “I told you," he began triumphantly before biting into his prize of a sandwich, "smiling is the best line of attack.” Taemin's birthday will be coming tomorrow~!
