Pov. Kim Sunghoon*

I had no nerves left...

All day long I tried to avoid Heeseung. I literally had delusions he was standing in the next corner with a knife, waiting only to strike at the perfect moment.
It was Friday afternoon by now and the last stop of the day was my locker. I wanted to stow some books there and then go home as quickly as possible.

I haven't talked to Jake since karaoke. We've only written... damn something means it at the moment probably not good with me...

With quick steps, I walked to the locker. At the same moment, my cell phone rang melodiously. I searched for the device in my backpack and looked at the screen.

Lee Heeseung
Let's meet at 04:15 p.m. in lecture hall 5c, just across from your locker. We need to talk asap... [04:09 p.m.]

___________

Couldn't he just leave me alone?

A queasy feeling came over me. I had to postpone the plan with the locker. Then I'll just carry the heavy books home, I don't care.

My life was important to me, and I still didn't know exactly what Hee wanted from me. I honestly didn't want to know either. A habit I should perhaps abandon because it never ends well to avoid problems.

Immediately, I took another path.

I skillfully ignored his other thousand messages and moved towards the exit. With quick steps, I ran down the stairs of the building, because I certainly did not want to bump into him.

Lee Heeseung

Kim Sunghoon
Gotta study
[04:14 p.m.]

I let my phone slide into my pocket and walked faster.

After yesterday's conflict, I could gladly do it without even more stress.

Before the exit, I suddenly saw Heeseung leaning against the wall, waiting. Our eyes met briefly, and I swallowed hard.

So, the back exit after all.
Wasn't he supposed to be waiting in front of my looker? Why was he staying here now?!

In a flash, I changed direction and already felt his burning gaze on the back of my neck. "Hey, Sunghoon! Wait!" he called after me.
