#16 - exhausted.

"ha..." heeseung smiled awkwardly at the camera as he nervously rocked his hands back and forth on his thighs. the members eyes were fixed on him, anticipating an exciting answer.

heeseung glanced at me as i quickly diverted eye contact with him— it was almost as if he was asking me for... permission or some sort of approval.

"hm.. well.. i'm not sure about the term first love but i do remember giving pepero to a classmate when i was in high school," heeseung chuckled awkwardly, his ears painted with a flushed red.

"ooohh~ was it a girl classmate~?" riki teased, nudging heeseung to the side a little as the members chuckled and cheered in excitement.

suddenly, i was reminded of the time i received a box of pepero back in high school too... and my heart started to race at the thought that it might've been him who had given it to me.

"i'm only like.. 55% prepared for the paper today~" doyoung hummed as he leaned against the lockers, accompanying me as i opened the lock to my locker.

"yeah that's because you and hee stayed up all night playing street fighter last night!" i scoffed with doyoung laughing in guilt.

as soon as i opened my locker door, i noticed something new and unfamiliar— something that caught my attention since it was never in my locker before.

"y/n? what's taking you so long to put your damn books insid-"

"shut up and look..!!" i shrieked as doyoung rushed beside me, suddenly intrigued.

"....what am i suppose to see?" he questioned, looking at me with a dumbfounded expression.

"pepero! today's pepero day idiot!" i exclaimed, quickly taking the box and looking to see if the person left a note.. i searched around in my locker but there wasn't one nor a name.

nothing.

it was anonymous.

"if you think about it.. someone might've just discared it into your locker," doyoung shrugged.

"it's almond flavour too! my favourite..." i squealed, clenching the box tightly in both my hands.

"don't get your hopes up too much y/n.. it's probably discarded. the guy must've gotten rejected," doyoung mocked.

"oi! are you saying no one would give me pepero?!" i said, smacking him as he nodded.

"bingo~!" he chuckled.

"already a commotion at 8am?" heeseung said as he strolled along the corridor, backpack hanging from one side of his shoulder.

"look!" i exclaimed, shoving the pepero box in his face.

"okay okay.. i see it! i'm not blind geez..." he chuckled as he lowered my arms.

"pepero," he said dryly.

"NOT JUST ANY pepero! it was in my locker  but i have no idea from who..." i sighed.

"the guy must really like you to know your favourite flavour huh..." heeseung said as he pointed at the box.

"you're right..!! no one else knows my favourite flavour since i don't even bring pepero that often to school," i gasped, trying to think of who would know my favourite flavour except the two.

"i'm telling you y/n, it's just a coincidence that someone discarded your favourite flavour into your locker. not that complicated!" doyoung shurgged.
