"class dismissed, have a great weekend."

taeyong bit his lip nervously, watching as the rest of the class filed out of the lecture hall. he looked down at the thin stack of papers in his hands, scared that his sweaty palms would ruin the ink.

should i say something when i hand it to her?

jaehyun lingered beside him and cocked his head as if gesturing to the door. "aren't we leaving?" he asked in confusion and taeyong waved him away.

"give me a second, i'll meet you outside."

jaehyun shrugged, throwing his backpack over his shoulder before joining the herd of students headed outside.

taeyong felt his heart rate accelerate as the girl began packing up her things. he braced himself before taking a deep breath and approaching her seat.

"here," he mumbled, avoiding her eyes as he shoved the papers into her hands.

"oh," eun responded in confusion and taeyong didn't stick around to see her reaction, instead choosing to exit the room as soon as he could.

on his way out he'd nearly bumped into kim taehyung who caught taeyong by the shoulder before cocking an eyebrow. "everything okay, yong?"

taeyong blinked at the boy, surveying his handsome features and kind eyes. it was no surprise he and eun were so close, they looked good together.

"yeah, i'm fine. see you around, taehyung." he broke free of the boys grip and walked away, stomach churning with embarrassment.
