Y/N was never the type to eat in the cafeteria. She always felt it was too crowded and stuffy, and granted it was. Y/N could often be found sitting on the bleachers alone reading one of her many books, and snacking on carrot sticks.

On a certain sunny day she sat at the very top of the bleachers reading "Little Women" and of course eating carrot sticks. However, she heard the suddenly jingle of keys and a tray being sat down near her. Looking up she saw a tall, scrawny boy wearing a bright smile on his face.

"You don't mind if I sit here right?" he said placing his book bag down next to hers. Y/N shook head and stared at him with wide eyes.

He held out his hand as he sat down. "I'm Haemin! Third year....and you?" Y/N stared at his hand slightly and quickly shook it.

"Y/N...also a third year" she weakly smiled trying to cover up her own awkwardness. Haemin nodded and started to eat his lunch.

Three weeks. Three weeks of Haemin sitting next to Y/N and eating his lunch. Truth be told, he never realized how antisocial this girl actually was. She had recently caught his eye when he and his friend were running the track one lunch and she was quietly reading. "To Kill a MockingBird" he was able to recall all the books she read in the last weeks.

It really amazes him how she was able to go through them so fast. Haemin occasionally made conversation by quickly looking up the summary of the book and trying to keep up.

On this particular day she was reading "Normal People." Haemin rechecked his phone quickly as too hot mess up.

"That's one of my favorites" he says smiling, Y/N closed her book slightly looking at him. "Really?" she said scrunching her eyebrows.

Haemin nodded, "uhh yeah I mean secret lovers n stuff just happens to be a favorite of mine ya know?" Y/N laughed loudly, making Haemin blush.

"Whattt? You don't believe me?" he laughed softly pushing her with his shoulder. Y/N shook her head and looked at her book. "I just never thought you were the type to read, Haemin." He could've melted right then and there. His name rolled off her tongue perfectly. He was never a big fan of his name but if it was her saying it, he'd wanna hear it a million times more.

Y/N crunched on another carrot stick and moved the bag between them. "Want one?" she said, carrots were never Haemin's favorite, but he didn't care. This is Y/N we are talking about. He quickly nodded and grabbed the carrot stick from the small bag.

New Routine. Y/N had started packing extra carrot sticks just for her and Haemin to share. They'd meet up outside Haemin's class and then walk to the bleacher together were she would read out loud, while Haemin sat and often placed his head on her shoulder.

While she read, Haemin often had the internal conflict on whether he should confess to her or not. 'What the hell, it's been long enough just say it- but you could scare her away...damn' this thought occupied Haemin's mind often.

Haemin sighed and lifted his head from her shoulder as he heard the bell ring. 'Just do it. What's the worse that could happen?' Haemin thought grabbing his bag.

Y/N was just about to leave when she felt Haemin grab her hand. 'That's new she thought' turning to him she smiled. However, she smiled faded as she saw the look on Haemins face.

"You okay min?" she said, giving his hand a small squeeze.

Ah 'Min' the nickname she had given him a few days ago. He had been called that in the past but it feel special coming from her.

He smiled and nodded. "I just wanted to asking you something" Haemin said as they walked down the bleachers, still hand in hand.

"We are gonna be late you better hurry" She laughed pulling him along. As they got to the door, they both stopped.

"Let's go out." Y/N's heart quickened at his words."Like boyfriend and girlfriend? or-" Haemin laughed at her sudden nerves.

"Yes, like boyfriend and girlfriend" Y/N smiled and blushed at the thought. "Yeah-yeah of course" She nodded hugged Haemin quickly before giving a quick kiss on the cheek. Suddenly, the warning bell rang.

"We have to get going..." Y/N sighed wishing they had more time. "Says who? Let's skip and get ice cream " Haemin said grabbing her hand once more. Y/N thought for a second looking between the door to the school and Haemin. She pulled his hand and nodded.

Soon enough, the new couple were walking off towards the nearest ice cream shop. Haemin couldn't wipe the smile of his face even if he tried and to think, this happened all because he saw a girl eating carrot sticks.
