Hey, who dat, who dat, who dat boy
Standing out in the crowd
That indifferent look, I like that
Arouse my curiosity

Bad Boy by Red Velvet

(Double update because I felt like it 💃)

Ten POV

"Yuggie!"

BamBam came barreling down the hallway and jumped into Yugyeom's arms. Lisa and I laughed at the pained expression on his face. He liked the affection his boyfriend showed him, but his methods of showing it were unorthodox.

"Jeez Bam, you're heavy," Yugyeom groaned.

"You love me though," BamBam buried his face in his boyfriend's neck.

"Get a room," Renjun said as he walked by.

BamBam looked up and stuck his tongue out at the younger, who had already passed. My laughter died down as my eyes drifted over to a gorgeous man walking with Mr. Lee. We made eye contact and I nudged Lisa's side.

"Who is that?" I asked her.

"Might be the foreign student that's supposed to be transferring here," She shrugged.

"He's beautiful," I said dreamily.

Lisa rolled her eyes, "Let's go Ten."

She led me away from the man and a Yugyeom in distress. We walked down the hallway and into Mr. Lee's studio. A few students were sitting in their own groups talking, and some were warming up.

"Hi hyung!" Shotaro waved to me and I waved back.

Lisa separated from me and went to talk to her friend Rosé. I walked over to where YangYang was intensely head banging and tapped him on the shoulder. He took one Airpod out and looked up at me.

"Sup?" He said.

"Nothing much. Any news on the 'event?'"

"Everything went fine. The po-po have nothing they can trace to us."

"Just call them cops," I sighed.

"You mean the fuzz? The feds? The coppers?"

"Goodbye."

I heard the door close behind me and we all turned to see the new guy and Mr. Lee.

"What up, everyone?" Mr. Lee said. "This is-"

"Please don't be Mr. Lee's boyfriend. Please!" I thought.

"-Johnny. He's a transfer student from America. Be good to him."

"You won't have to tell me twice." I smiled like an idiot in my head.

"Hello everyone," Johnny smiled, and I felt my heart do a thing.

What is the thing my heart is doing, you might ask. It feels like it's on a roller coaster going downhill, but also shooting up to space. I feel butterflies, warm, and light headed all at the same time.

"Join the others and let's get started. If you get lost just follow Ten," Mr. Lee gestured to me.

Johnny looked in my direction and came to sit next to me. He smiled, and I did my best to smile back.

"Hi," He said to me.

"Hey."

"Oh my god Ten! What is wrong with you? There's a drop dead gorgeous guy beside you who went out of his way to talk to you, and all you said was 'hey?!' You're done for. He probably thinks you're lame."

I was snapped out of my thoughts when What Do I Call You by Taeyeon came on, and we started to stretch. I hummed along to the song, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Johnny watching me with curiosity in his eyes. My heart did a flip, and I smiled softly at him.
