Lie Again | Wonwoo

seven

It's been two days since Wonwoo apologized and both of you somehow cleared the misunderstanding and at the same time, you managed to learn about the real Wonwoo under the facade he's putting up. He started to warm up towards you every time you'd see each other within the campus; during lunch, walking past by each other, or having some small talk from time to time since you bump into him quite frequently; was it because he's in the same department as you, or was it because you were more aware of him now that you'd notice him from afar already?

Who knew.

Friday came by in a breeze. University work was no joke, though; the semester just started but you were already drowning with things to do. You were eating lunch with your friends in the cafeteria, already halfway through your meal. It was the usual lunch scenario where you'd exchange stories and things you'd like to share during the break. You were sitting in the middle of the table, with Hanna on your right and Sungho on your other side, while Heechul, Eun-kyung, and your other friends sat across you guys, filling up the table.

"My Chemistry class already has a scheduled quiz next week," Heechul groaned as he shoved his lunch down his throat, "The semester barely started."

"Thank God I have Bio this sem, then," You sighed in relief as Eun-kyung and Hanna nod to agree since they were your classmates. Heechul and Sungho had a lot of the same classes because they were in the same course; lucky enough to be classmates.

"Well, at least our Math professor is taking all his time in the world, unlike yours." Sungho teased you as he turned to his side to look at you.

You sigh since no one would feel your struggle, having a different schedule with the rest of them. "Ugh," You roll your eyes at the thought. "He's going to brief us about the first project later. It hasn't been a week, even." You complained as Math was your next and final class for today; suddenly, the thought of Wonwoo popped up in your head since he was your assigned partner for Math.

Your friends continue to talk as your eyes trail off while you take a scoop of your lunch, subtly looking around the dining hall as you unconsciously look for Wonwoo. The cafeteria was a lot more crowded than usual, probably because it was a Friday, and the majority of the students' schedules matched each other's. You catch the sight of his lowered head that was eating his food with his group of friends before he let out a smile, chuckling as he runs his hand through his hair.

"Are you up for it, Y/N?"

You look up, bringing your attention back to your lunch and friends, "What?"

"Eun-kyung mentioned that we should go out for dinner and have drinks tonight," Hanna said, "TGIF, she says."

"But you got so wasted earlier this week," You jokingly said to Eun-kyung who just let out a scoff, gesturing with her hand as if it was not a big deal.

"Psh, today's different," She says without a care as the table laughed, knowing it won't be any different. "Besides, it'll be casual. We can just go for a samgyeopsal place!" Everyone wooed at the idea.

"We can just go somewhere around the area, but it might be crowded since it's near campus and it's a Friday today," Hanna said as she finished her drink in her hand. "But it's as if we mind." She chuckled.

"Sounds like a plan, then!" Sungho said as everyone was already finishing up their lunch, but still had time to chitchat before lunch break was over.

As they talked about the plan later, you opened your bottle of water as your eyes trailed off to the side once again, through the gap between Eun-kyung and Heechul. Your eyes land on Wonwoo who was resting his head on top of his palm as he was listening to his friends. He was still wearing his usual sweaters with his sleeves making sweater paws and the same necklace he had all the time.
