Russian schoolboy | Lee Minho
The story takes place in a Russian school in the 2010s. There are apartment buildings covered in snow and a cold winter, cold as Minho, an 11th-grade student. He's rude, introverted, but an excellent student, unlike his best friend and classmate. That arrogant, talkative fool who barely manages his studies but always carries his guitar and gets into trouble. To be honest, Minho doesn't understand how they became friends. In 6th grade, he got into a fight with a high school student, and Minho grumbled as he applied bandages to his knees in the backyard. That's how they started being friends. Just friends?Click
The pen in Minho’s fingers clicked as he finished his last homework assignment for the week. When he looked up, he saw that the scene in front of him had not changed: his best friend was sitting on the stage of the empty school auditorium rehearsing the song for the hundredth time for a regular school event. He had always participated in these events, because if he didn’t, he would be kicked out of school because his academic performance wasn’t good, unlike his guitar playing. In fact, Minho even admitted that his voice and playing were great.
"How long are you going to torture the instrument and my ears?" Minho spoke in mock displeasure, closing his backpack, which was lying on the chairs next to his friend's backpack. Even they were different. Minho's backpack is plain, gray, and unremarkable. His friend's backpack was full of rock band patches and a lot of badges on black fabric. Black as the nail polish his friend wore.
[damn it, why am I even thinking about this?..]
"And if you come back tomorrow without your homework, I will not let you copy it, understood?" Lies. It's always the same, and every time Minho allows him to get away with it, grumbling.
