Part 3 || meeting new people

Hana's POV <time skip next day in school>

Teacher: "wow this is impressive! What were your roles in this project?"

Heeseung: "Hana was in charge of the interior design and the decor in general. I was the one who figured out all the gadgets and stuff" our teacher looke impressed and I elbowed Heeseung happily.

Thinking that was it, I waited for my teachers comment but I felt him intertwine his hands with mine. He held my hand tightly and I looked up to see him looking excited. We held hands before, what difference does it make now, right?

Teacher: "my, you've done a wonderful job! Expect a high mark for this" she went away with our project and that's when he let go of my hand. I gulped feeling my heart beat fast and my face heat up. I touched my face hoping I'm not red.

Heeseung: "hey, you ok? Did you get sick from yesterday" I faced him and shook my head

Hana: "no no, just a bit dizzy" which was true "but I'm fine" not so true.

Heeseung: "well good thing your brain, which I didn't even know you had one, started hurting now. At least you get to go home and rest" I elbowed him harder

Hana: "you insult me and care for me in the same sentence?" I laugh and he does too. We walk out of the classroom but before going out of the school doors we bump into Sunghoon again. He was carrying a stack of books and we could barely see him.

Sunghoon: "guys can you open the door" he pointed with his feet to the door in front of him.

Heeseung: "oh! Sure" he walked over and opened the door for him but right as he entered he made eye contact with me. The door closed and that was the end of it. Poor him, being part of the sc must be stressful. "Hey wanna get a drink before I bring you home?"

I agreed as we exited the school grounds. We talked the whole time just enjoying each other's company.

Heeseung: "so, what did you think about him?" I looked up in confusion

Hana: "about who?"

Heeseung: "Mr. President" still no clue what he was talking about "Hana! Sunghoon, as in Park Sunghoon" oh! It clicked oops

Hana: "oh right sorry, nothing much why?"

Heeseung: "don't you like him or something?"

Hana: "what? Why would you think that? I don't even know the guy. I don't think he even knows my name"

Heeseung: "but he's handsome isn't he? I'd think you'd like him" I sighed. He's always like this. Looks. That's the first thing he goes for.

Hana: "Heeseung, just because he's handsome doesn't mean I like him. Its not all about looks you know" he rolled his eyes. I slipped my hands in my pocket and stopped my tracks.

Hana: "Shoot, I forgot something in school, just go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow!"

Heeseung: "ok be safe Hana. Text me when you get home love you"

Hana: "I will, love you too" I waved bye and ran back to school.

Heeseung's POV

I entered the cafe wanting a drink in my hand. I ordered and looked around for a seat. My eyes landed on this beautiful girl. Wow! I couldn't help but stare. I walked over and smiled.

Heeseung: "hey can I sit here? There aren't any other seats" she smiled brightly "what's your name?"

Bianca: "Bianca, and you are?" We introduced ourselves and found out we go to the same school. She's just a batch lower than I am. We talked for a while just getting to know each other. I never took my eyes off her. She was beautiful.

Hana's POV

It gets dark in school too huh. I guess I just never noticed since I'm always home at this time. I entered the classroom and checked under my desk. Found it! I reached for my power bank and slipped it inside my pocket.

Sunghoon: "Hana?" I jumped hitting my leg on the chair.

Hana: "ouch!" I sat down on the floor and he came rushing to check on me

Sunghoon: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" I told him it's fine and he helped me get up "what are you still doing here?"

Hana: "I forgot my power bank so I went back to get it. How about you?" Was actually surprised he knew my name

Sunghoon: "being the student council president gives me additional responsibilities that require me to stay longer" ahh, got it now. It was kind of awkward. He gave off this cold 'I don't really care' vibe. "You live far?" I shook my head

Hana: "I'm on bakers street" his face lit up. Lot up meaning raised his eyebrows

Sunghoon: "I live like 2 blocks away from you. Want me to bring you? It's getting dark and-"

Hana: "it's not safe for me?" I continued and he chuckled. Wait so maybe not so cold?

Sunghoon: "yeah" I nodded and we both walked out of school grounds. Even in school (until now) he had this cold look. His eyes always looked down and he always looked angry or annoyed. But I guess that's just his resting face. I looked at his outfit and he was dressed like it was winter

Hana: "hey why are you dressed like that?"

Sunghoon: "usually after school when there isn't so much work I go ice skating" well you learn something new everyday don't you.

Hana: "I didn't know the President of the student council skates" I joked about it but honestly was impressed. I mean he has the proportions for it.

Sunghoon: "I don't really tell anyone" I nodded getting the message to not spread it to others. He's quite tall huh just not as tall as Heeseung of course. That guy is a giant.

We talked for a while and we laughed as we told stories to each other. Apparently he's an introvert. Well to be fair I kind of new that already. Being the President must be a big step for him. The more you get to talk to him though the more he opens up. He says during breaks he just stays in the school garden where the benches are and reads something instead of hanging out with his friends.

I also mentioned my love for interior design and he seemed to be thinking of a plan but I ignored it. He asked about my relationship with Heeseung since we're always together. I explained I knew him when we were still in diapers and we were just really close. I feel like he wanted to ask about any romantic feelings between us but, we're not that close to touch on that subject yet.

We stopped at my house and we both sighed. I turned to him and bowed.

Hana: "thank you for bringing me home. You didn't have to. Are you still skating?" He nodded

Sunghoon: "oh yeah, it's like my version of playing video games so of course" I nodded. He did sound very passionate about it a while ago "hey can I get your number?". I was surprised. "I don't usually do this. Was I too straightforward?"

Hana: "no no" I laughed "it's just, I thought you were the 'I don't really care' type of guy" he didn't respond "oh, was I too straightforward this time?" He chuckled and let out his smile.

Sunghoon: "no no, to be fair I think I am that type sometimes" I pulled out my phone and he pulled out his. He typed down his number on my phone and I told him mine. He put my name as 'Hannah' though.

Hana: "actually, Hana is spelled H-A-N-A" I chuckled and he apologized and changed it right away "it's fine, common mistake" he nodded

Sunghoon: "see you around" I got inside my house and took a quick snack. While eating I got a text

"You never messaged me"
