"your silence hurts me. say something, y/n."

"i- i don't have the answer to that."

"hm, you don't?"

just what should you tell her? that you simply wanted her attention because you rarely see her talks with anyone but the president? that she seems like a mysterious person and you feel attracted to it? she'll definitely think of you as a creep...

"are you okay? you're unusually quiet today." yae asked in a concerning tone but you didn't seem to notice as you were so lost in your thoughts.

...what should i tell her?

"y/n?" she called your name while waving her hand in front of your face. she got up from her seat a while ago and currently standing in front of your table while leaning forward a bit. by the time you realized, your face is completely locked in her palms. her face was so close that it made you flustered.

"v-vice president? what are you doing?"

yae positioned her face slowly closer to yours - at the same time, your anxiety was rising as your mind went traveling to all possible outcomes of her sudden action. not knowing where to look at, you decided to look straight into her violet eyes. after a certain distance, she finally stopped and you slowly released your breath. she took a while to admire your whole facial features, looking from up to down as her thumbs gently caressed your cheeks.

"your lips are trembling~"

oh crap.

you quickly held her arms in hope to get out from the position but your attempt failed as she swiftly grabbed your hands instead and locked it into hers, pulling you closer. her grips were tight yet comfortable enough that you didn't have time to think about it. right now, the only thing that's playing inside your mind is her face.

her face was dangerously closer than earlier that you can feel her breathing on your lips.

"my my, i didn't know you could get this red~ i thought all you do is flirt here and there, but look at you now..."

"the way you're trembling under my touch... i guess my troublemaker has a cute side too~"

my troublemaker???

you hung your head low to hide your blush but you know you can't. you just didn't want to face her after what she called you. she let go of your hands and positioned her face away from yours while grinning to herself. you on the other hand were a blushing mess, trying to breathe properly while putting your hand on your chest. you were relieved that she let go of your hands before something happens.

or so you thought - not long after you caught your breath, yae came closer to you again. this time, she used her fingers to lift up your chin to face her.

"done catching your breath there? should we continue now~?"

that honeyed voice echoed in your ears once again, making you went red in an instant.

yae miko is your weakness, but you didn't want to admit it until now. the sudden contact she made caught you by surprise. it's crazy how your mind went blank when she had her face so close to yours, how you went quiet when her sweet voice entered your ears, how your heart beats even faster every seconds when your skin is in contact with hers.

she does something to you but you wanted to deny it so bad. how numerous of times you've been telling yourself that you didn't feel anything towards her, just a random curiosity about the popular vice president. it was never your intention to went overboard by going into detention most of the times just to talk to her. it was never your intention at all. one day she didn't come to school, you would just ignored everyone and study like usual but when she came, the sparks inside you told you to mess with her - to get her attention.

to have all her attention to yourself.

"i hope you know what you're playing with, y/n. i'm not a 'quiet kid' like they all described me as. i'm beyond far than that. the only person who've seen the true me is ei alone. but you, do you really think you're worthy to be with me?"

that's when the reality hits you.

yae is a top student while you're from the last class. surely no one would think it's a good pair. she has a reputation to keep. if anyone saw her with you, they will surely talk bad about her and spread unwanted rumors. you didn't want that, but you didn't want to give up on her either.

you took a deep breath, calming youself for a while. you took her hand into yours, holding it gently while staring deep into her eyes. she seemed shocked by your action but just let it happen.

i've made up my mind.

"first, i'm not playing with you. i like you... a lot. i'll make sure to make myself worthy to be with you, if that's what you desired."

"so you're up for the challenge hm?" she grinned.

you nodded while smirking to yourself. yae giggled and brought her face to your ear, whispering something.

"do your best."

before you could even reply, she planted a quick kiss on your cheek and the bell rang at the same time. when the realization hits, yae already walked out from the classroom, leaving you alone smiling to yourself.
