The window creaks as I slowly stick my leg over the ledge, my eyes bulging at the 1-floor drop to the ground - the stranger's eye's staring into mine as I hesitantly creep onto the ledge. Unlike him, I don't think I can just elegantly jump down onto the ground, whilst keeping my bones intact.

My heartbeat picks up again as I reexamine my situation; how did I manage to get stuck here: sneaking out of the second floor detention window with an utter stranger? N why is it kind of exciting?

"Don't worry sunshine. I'll catch u. I promise." He reaches his arms up to me, slightly exaggerating his toned muscles - a dark, linked lion decorating his right tattooed bicep. I breathe in, retaining it before slowly shifting my weight over the edge - the air gushing up my shirt as I cascade towards the ground.

A strong grip clasps around my waist as he pulls me in - failing to catch me as both of us tumble over - my fall cushioned by his body. His stomach rumbles under me as he starts bellowing out a chuckle, his face flushing a subdued red, tears forming in his eyes as his infectious laughter passes through me - all of a sudden, the pain n thoughts of Sunghoon r gone.

He pushes himself up, towering over me as I continue to roll in the grass. His piercing hazel eyes roam over my body; examining me; beholding me. My eyes take in his pale yet tannish beauty: sharp bone structure carving out his slender features, the beaming sunlight streaming through the trees illuminating his glacially hazel eyes, highlighted the soft pink tones of his lips - his lips: dewy cushions of pink plumpness.

He's definitely disappointed with what he sees, I am no where even near being on his level.

"Take a picture sunshine, it'll last longer." His lips curl into a smirk; an heir of confidence n a simultaenious cockiness bout him - his tone dripping in natural charm. I deflect my gaze, caught off guard by his straightforward comment.

"Um....I wasn't looking at u....I was looking at the uhhhh th- the trees. I was looking at the tress." I mutter out in a mess, having no effect on his composed gaze.

"Yea yea n I wasn't looking at ur dick, I was looking at the trees too." My cheeks flush as a faint chuckle leaves his lips. "So? R u gonna give me ur name before u pounce on me again sunshine? Or is that something I'll have to get used to?"

"Jake. Jake Sim."

"Well Jake, Jake Sim, it's nice to meet u. I'm Yeonjun, Choi Yeonjun." He reaches his hand out, grasping mine as he pulls me up off the ground, the force lunging me into his chest. He secures me with his back hand, holding me in place; the firmness of his pecs radiating comfort. Yeonjun, what a nice name.

"U ready to ditch this shit hole?"

"Why not? I'm barely here anyways." I chuckle at my own joke, slinging my back pack over my shoulder as we walk out of the school gates.

*************

"R u hungry sunshine?" My eyes flick to him as the nickname rolls off his tongue, his crisp eyes staring back at me - my cheeks flushing at his self-assured demeanor. He's so.......charming.....

"Hmmm......how bout....a movie or something?" I ponder, instantly flashing back to Sunghoon's arms coddling Me in the theatre chairs; protecting me. I wipe the thought away as he agrees n we make our way in.

***************

"Um yeah, I love rom-coms. But yea I was just joking." He turns his back to me, his eyes emptily looking over the other posters - his ego bruised by my reckless words.

"Well idk why u were joking. Cuz I've wanted to see that movie for ages." The lie slips out of my mouth, reigniting the spark in his eyes . He hugs me in excitement, pulling me back into his strong grasp, my nose picking up his scent: a mixture of chocolate n smoke - delicious.
