Chapter 6

"Soo, how do we start?"

"What is it that you don't understand?"

"Uhm pretty everything from the new topic.", he stated embarrassed.

"Well, let's start then."

It was wednesday and like we agreed we met so I could help him with math.
A new day trying not to be too awkward.

I wondered how many girls were planning my murder now, maybe I should take weapons for defense with me..

First I had been in a cafe with Seungwoo and today I was giving Sejun private tutoring.

How the hell did I end up like this?

"I'm finished!", I had been given him some tasks for practise.

"Okay, let me see.", I started to look through his notes and I swear he was staring at me, I could feel his gaze piercing through me.

"Yeah, this seems correct, but there's one with some mistakes.", I gave him his papers back. But in the process I brushed against a pen, which was rolling to the edge like a sprinter at the Olympics and before I could even react it fell down the table and disappeared under it.

I sighed and bent down to get it. My head was under the table and I already spotted the pen, when I saw an another hand coming from across.

Was this some romcom shit, where our hands would accidentally touch?

And maybe, just maybe I pulled back to fast, because my head met the table with a loud thud.

"Ow.."

It seemed like I startled Sejun, since he suddenly screamed with a thud following.

"Are you okay?"

"Yea, you just surprised me."

"Oh, I'm sorry.", but I couldn't really hold my laughter in.

"And now your even laughing at me.", he fake pouted and then started to laugh.

After we calmed down from our laugh attack, I explained him one last thing and then we decided to wrap everything up.

"Can we, like exchange numbers, so we can keep contact?"

"Uhm yes, here.", I passed him my phone, so he could copy the number.

"Thanks, I will text you later", he looked like some kid, who had been gifted a candy.

"I need to go to practise now, you wanna come along, since you're friends with Subin?"

"Yea, sure.", I felt way less nervous around him than in the beginning, he was really a person with who you easily can get comfortable.

Outside, the cold air hit me like a truck and I shivered like crazy.

"Are you cold?"

"Hmm, a bit.", my whole body trembled and I damned myself for forgetting my nice, warm jacket inside.

"Do you wanna have my jacket?", I looked at him with wide eyes.

"No, then you will freeze."

"It's fine, really, I don't get cold that fast."

I shook my head, but before I could talk back, something warm was wrapped around me.

I really wanted to resist, but I couldn't, so I ended up snuggling in his jacket and muttered a quite 'thank you'.

When we arrived, I could feel the heat spreading in my face. It was obvious that it wasn't my jacket and that the owner stood next to me without one.

But if it bothered him, he didn't show it. He waved to his teammates with a big smile.

"Hey, thanks for helping me today, can we do it next week, same time?"

I just nodded and watched him jog to the others.

"Is this Sejun's jacket?", Subin approached me with a judging look.

"Don't judge me, okay? It is so, so cold."

"Yeah, yeah collecting all the boys like old people spoons."

"Stop, why are you all keep bullying me", I crossed my arms like I was mad. But it only made Subin snicker.

"Whatever, I'll go back.", he said goodbye and left.

I looked over to Seungwoo who seemed to notice me as well and gave me a smile. Did it suddenly become warmer?

Before I went to back, I caught myself looking at Sejun.
