Chapter: 2

"Okay students, I'm going to be giving you a project, and it has to be done in partners. But don't get ahead of yourselves, I've already picked your partners for you." Mrs. Kim said, earning annoyed groans from the class.

"Oh come on, assigned partners, I really hope we get to work together." Yunho whispered as he turned to me. "Not very likely, but I hope so." I said with a pout.

"Lee Seoho, you're with Lee Keonhee, Hwang Hyungjin, you're with Kim Seungmin, Lee Jeno, you're with Na Jaemin." The teacher kept announcing the partners until I finally heard my name.

"Kang Yeosang, you're with..." I crossed my fingers, hoping it would be Yunho. "Choi San." I looked over at Yunho with a pout. I've always had trouble talking to people outside of my friend group, I'm what you call, socially awkward.

I've had the same friends since middle school, excluding Wooyoung, because we've been friends pretty much our whole lives. "It's okay, just be brave and take a deep breath, you got this." Yunho put both his fists up with a smile, trying to hype me up.

Despite Yunho being the complete crack head of our friend group, he always had a good way with words when trying to encourage people. And I was entirely grateful for that.

"Thanks Yunho, I just hope we can get this project over with fast, and then that's the last time I wanna  have to socialize with other people." I said.

"Jeong Yunho, you're with Song Mingi." Yunho looked at me with a worried look. Mingi was know for being extremely cold, if you messed with him or his friends, he was sure to give you a piece of his mind.

"Good luck, I hope you come back alive." I chuckled. "Oh shut up, I can tease you just as much as Wooyoung did, if not worse." He said with a cocky smirk on his face.

"Ok fine, but only because I don't want you to expose me in front of all these people." I glared at him, in return he gave me a cheeky smile.

"Ok everyone, make sure to meet with your partners and discuss the project. You have three weeks to complete it, make sure to grab a copy of the rubric on my desk, you're dismissed." The bell then rang, indicating school was over.

Hey Yeosang, you think I could get your number, since we're partners for the project and all." San walked up to me and Yunho with a smile. "Oh, yeah sure." I grabbed the phone from his hand and typed in my number.

"Thanks, oh Yunho, Mingi asked me to get your number for him." "Why can't he just ask me himself." Yunho said to San with a little sass. "He had something urgent to take care of, so he had to leave." San replied.

"Ok fine, just tell him that he should ask me himself next time." Yunho handed him a sticky note with his number on it. "Ok thanks, I'll text you for when we should meet to discuss the project, bye." He gave us both his famous dimple smile and then waved before leaving the classroom.

"Wooyoung is gonna be so jealous." Yunho chuckled. "He is definitely gonna kill me." I had a worried look on my face.

Me and Yunho met up with Hongjoong and Wooyoung at the ice cream place we always went to. It was like a normal meeting spot for us.

"Well, let's hope I don't spill and tell Woo about all that San stuff." Yunho smirked. "You better not." I glared at him. "Calm down, I was only joking." He held his hands up in surrender.

"YUNHO, YEOSANG, OVER HERE!!!" Wooyoung yelled from the farthest booth as he furiously waved his arms. I hid my face behind my sweater paws as me and Yunho walked over to the other two.

I turned to Wooyoung with a glare, "Yah, Jung Wooyoung, could you please stop yelling for once. This place isn't very big, and now everyone's looking at us." I don't care, but anyways, we ordered for you guys." He said with a mouthful of ice cream. "Thanks." Me and Yunho said in unison.

Guess what guys, Seonghwa came up to me during history and he actually started talking to me, THE PARK SEONGHWA!" Hongjoong said excitedly. "You're whipped." Yunho put a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth. "N-NO I-I'M NOT!" He denied furiously, but the redness on his cheeks said otherwise.

"Yeah, sure you aren't, just admit that you like him, no one else would be this excited about Park Seonghwa talking to them." Yunho said as he looked at the blushing Hongjoong. "Ok fine, maybe I do like him." He pouted and crossed his arms.

"You know, you can just be so darn cute sometimes." Wooyoung pinched Hongjoong's cheeks. "Yah, respect me, I'm older than you." "I lost my respect for you the day I saw you take a bite out of a string cheese in the seventh grade." Wooyoung said, shaking his head in disapproval.

"He does have a valid point." Yunho joined in on the argument.

I just felt like updating again, or maybe I just wanted an excuse to not do my homework 🤔 But anyways, hope you guys are having a nice day. Until next time 😩🤚
