Anatomy 🌸

Jeongin has to find a partner for the special assignment for his anatomy class in art school. His crush Hyunjin asks him to work together.

- Oh no, I forgot my charcoal pencil", sighed Jeongin, "again...".

- It's alright, you can borrow my second one if you want," offered Jisung, a bright smile on his face as always.

- Thanks a lot Jisung, I'd be doomed without you!

- Sometimes I wonder if you really own a charcoal pencil at all...

- Hey! How dare you? Of course I do!! For some reason I keep forgetting it each time," exclaimed the younger sheepishly.

- Next time, you should ask Hyunjin if you can borrow his instead.

- Shut up!" whisper-shouted Jeongin at the mention of his crush, side-eyeing the tall beauty from across the room to see if he had heard anything. Fortunately, the male didn't seem to have heard the remark.

Jisung snickered.

- Yeah, whatever, go sit, the teacher's here," says Jeongin in an attempt to change subjects.

The scattered art students around the room all rushed to sit behind their easels arranged in a circle.

- Hi class," said the teacher before putting her bag down. "Today we're gonna concentrate on some more complicated poses, she explained as she was unpacking. "I want you to be able to draw the muscles as best as you can, with nice shadows and lights." She was a well beloved teacher, very passionate about the subject she was teaching.

The model, a woman in her fifties, had changed behind a screen and had sat on a chair in the middle. The teacher directed some lamps on her body to create stronger shadows where it would highlight the muscles tensed by the pose the model was into.

To regular people, having a middle-aged naked woman in a school classroom would be strange but to Jeongin and the rest of the students, it was ordinary. Obviously to study anatomy and drawing, the best was to observe an actual human body, otherwise none of them could progress. 

The only problem arising with this model was: she was the only model available. The school had difficulties in finding other models because even though it sounded like an easy job, it wasn't at all. Staying still for more than an hour for each pose was already incredibly difficult but you'd also have to be in a heated environment or else you'd freeze from not moving and you had to be in a comfortable position or you'd get cramps and stiff muscles all over. 

This model always brought her own music, some indie stuff to listen to because it could get quite boring. She was nice and liked to see the drawings afterwards. But it had been for almost two years that they were drawing the same body, it lacked variety.

As the class was ending, the teacher talked to the students about a special assignment:

- Since we don't have any other models to practice drawing with, it would be great if you could find models around you. I will add points if you hand these drawings to me by the end of the month. Don't worry, I'll keep the drawings only for notes, they won't be exhibited.

An excited chatter animated the class as students tried to pair up, having understood that their best option were their own friends. It would be too hard and risky to hire some strangers.

Of course Jisung had paired up with Minho since they were flirting from the beginning of the year and Felix and Changbin had paired up too, the two being glued to the hip as always, leaving  Jeongin to be the odd one out.

The younger looked for Hyunjin across the room but when the taller gazed up, Jeongin immediately lowered his head. The idea of pairing up with the later seemed unrealistic since Jeongin was incapable of even having a proper conversation with him. Their friend groups were different and even if Chan and Felix talked sometimes, the two groups didn't meddle that much.
