Author's Note:

This chapter is marked with [R] as it is a requested scenario.

"It's only a few days until our retreat, and I'm really excited. I believe that it's timely, so that we can take a breather. After all, school has been stressful over the last few weeks. Aren't you excited for it, Y/N?" Seeun, your best friend, squealed and nudged you as the two of you were walking along the hallway. You were on your way to your classroom.

You grimaced at the thought of the retreat.

"Honestly? I'm not really excited about it. Bluntly speaking, I don't understand where the hype about it is coming from. It would force a person to interact with others. That's draining for me. I would rather spend those three days and two nights curled up on my bed at home and binge-watch some shows that I've been missing out." You paused.

"Aside from that, I heard from some of the students who had their retreat already — you would be assigned with a buddy. The person who would be assigned to you is more likely not a friend of yours. I believe that it is the reason why our class president, Haewon, had been observing us all closely. She was probably assigned by our adviser to identify who is close to who. I'm quite certain that at this point, I wouldn't have you as my buddy. I'm literally not talking to anyone else, aside from you. Just the thought of it just gets me even more unenthusiastic about this. You know how awkward I am around other people." You finished and heaved a sigh.

"Oh, I see. You had been observing Oh, huh?" Seeun smirked at you and leaned closer to you, whispering.

"This is probably the way of the universe to tell you to interact with others more, Y/N. Take this as an opportunity to expand your social network. Who knows? You might get paired with Miss President who happened to be your crush as well. This could be your opportunity to get closer with her." Seeun wiggled her eyebrows and kept a safer distance from you. Your cheeks reddened and your heart skipped a beat with the thought of being paired up with Haewon.

"W-What are you talking about? I just noticed it. I-I wasn't observing her." You stuttered and looked away.

Then, you closed your eyes and cleared your throat, mentally scolding yourself for stuttering and desperately trying to get yourself together.

Truthfully, you have a crush on Haewon. You just didn't want to let Seeun know about it, because she would tease you a lot about it. With you knowing how naughty and playful Seeun could be, you don't feel like you can entrust her in keeping your liking for Haewon a secret. She might make it too obvious for Haewon to catch on, eventually.

You couldn't help but admire her for her beauty, dedication, talents, and wit.

Haewon appears to be a cold person. She rarely smiles.

Oh wait, does she even do so?

Ah, yes, she does... or at least, she did.

Perhaps, she generally had to look authoritative and intimidating. This is because she is the president of the class as well as the student council. You believe that the cold aura of hers suits her and boosts her charm.

But then, you couldn't deny that whenever she would smile, even if it wasn't intended for you; that smile would melt you and get you even more captivated with her.

Your lips subconsciously formed a smile as the memory of Haewon smiling when she played the role of Juliet in the play of the famous tale of romance and tragedy that was written by William Shakespeare: 'Romeo and Juliet' — you were one of the props men who had to support the balcony prop during that scene. So, you saw her smile clearly.
