OPPOSITES.

𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 ?? ☻︎

Athena drummed her fingers on her countertop as she awaited for Wooyoung's arrival. For the past week, she had kept seeing the unknown man around campus and her reaction to seeing him still remained the same each time:- rapid heart rate, slight dizziness and staring.

She wondered why she had never seen him around previously, considering the fact that the pink haired male was extremely loud and friendly, so it was really hard NOT to notice his presence.

She also wondered why she was so infatuated with him. I mean honestly, she didn't even know his name or age or what major he was in, yet everytime they ran into each other in the halls she couldn't help but admire him. Once again, she cursed her social anxiety for not being able to even start a conversation with the male.

The sound of keys jingling interrupted her thoughts, knowing that Wooyoung had finally arrived and she could get some help with her never-ending dilemma.

"Athena! Wow, you're awake on a Saturday and it's not 11am yet? I am indeed proud of you," Wooyoung spoke like a mother, putting a hand on his chest as he pretended to be proud of the girl for her minor achievement. The girl rolled her eyes in response but patted the seat next to her for Wooyoung to sit on.

"Very funny Woo, but I called your annoying ass here for a reason," The black haired girl sighed and Wooyoung looked at her in confusion. The last time he could remember the girl ever coming to him for something serious was back in the ninth grade when she had broken up with her boyfriend. It was seldom for the girl to ever talk about her feelings or emotions, so when he heard the tone of her voice was beyond baffled.

"Okay, this sounds serious.... what's up?" He questioned, sitting next to the latter as he looked at her straight in the eye.

She began explaining her situation and by the end of it, the silver haired male internally face palmed by how slow she was. "Athena... that guy you like is my friend Seonghwa, you know, the one I told you about a week ago?" He said, raising a brow.

Athena furrowed her brows and spoke, "Seonghwa huh? That name sounds so familiar... And I don't like him that way! Gosh, I didn't call you here to make fun of me."

"Okay okay, I'll give your oblivious ass advice. Me and a few friends are meeting up at a restaurant tomorrow and Seonghwa is invited. You could come along and get to know him," He suggested with a small shrug, and the girl groaned at the thought of socialization.

"Ugh, fine. Will you and San be there so that I'm not surrounded by complete strangers who might possibly kidnap me?" She asked.

"Of course we will, your anti social ass wouldn't survive without the two of us," He laughed, knowing very well that he was simply stating facts.

Later in the day, Athena was looking through her Instagram notifications because she was obviously bored and she began scrolling through the list of the random strangers that followed her. Not going to lie, some of the accounts looked super creepy and suspicious but she didn't really care.

Suddenly, a certain account caught her attention. An individual with the username hwase0ng_ looked oddly familiar. It took the girl a moment to realize that the account belonged to none other than Park Seonghwa, aka her "hallway crush" as Wooyoung put it.

'He followed me? Does he really know who I am' she thought to herself, trying to figure out why the male had followed her a few days ago. Out of impulse, the pressed the follow back button and bit her lip nervously.

No way this man knew of her existence.
