Please, please, please, come on, you can't be late, you can't be late, you can't be late, hurry up, hurryuphurryuphurryup-
I feel a sudden force against my right shoulder, the contact being so strong and forceful that I lose my balance. I squeeze my eyes quickly shut and hug my books against my chest as I feel myself falling free backwards. I wait for the impact of the floor on my back and-
It never happens.
I feel a pair of arms around me and myself leaning on something warm. I open my eyes as quickly and look around. What?
"Oh my God, are you okay? I'm so sorry, I- I didn't see you and.. oh my God, I apologise" I hear a frantic, panicked voice speaking from behind me. It comes from very close.
I catch my breath and shake the shock off of me. I realize that I'm being hugged from behind, leaning on another body.
Great. Don't embarrass yourself further, Han Jisung, don't do anything stupid, collect yourself, you can do this, it's just-
Oh my fucking God, it's Hwang freaking Hyunjin!? Okay, I got this, I got this, act cool, act cool, don't panic, don't panic-
"Hey, are you okay there? Are you hurt? I didn't mean to hurt you, I-"
I turn around and feel the arms around me pull away. In front of me stands a tall figure and up this close he looks even prettier, stunningly gorgeous. I almost let myself completely get lost in those brown eyes-
"I-Im okay, yeah, I'm great- I mean, okay, don't worry" I stutter and I feel my face heating and palms getting sweaty. Why is it suddenly so hot in here? Ugh.
"Are you sure? You'r cheeks are a bit red and- and you're shaking" the taller man points out. My eyes widen and I turn away slightly, slapping the back of my hands against my cheeks and trying to calm down. Stupid social anxiety.
"Haha, it's nothing, I'm fine!" I give a nervous, awkward laugh. Why must I be so awkward all the time?
"Okay... okay then... I- I should get going now, I mean, I'm a bit- no, very late actually, s-see you around" he rants and takes a slow and hesitant step back. I just keep standing there, my mind spinning and butterflies in my belly making me feel funny. I tell them to shut up.
God, why is he so caring and so kind and so charming even if he's doing nothing in particular. Such a gentleman and I'm just a- just a loser.
I realize that time is still ticking away and the silence surrounding us is starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Y-yeah! Me too, actually" I say and the panic from earlier returns. Right. "See you!"
I turn around and start walking. Suddenly even walking is difficult as I feel his intense eyes on my back. I force myself not to look back and focus on getting to my lecture.
As I round around the corner, I can no longer feel him staring at me. I kind of miss him already, which is embarrassing and real dumb. However, I can't help it. He makes me feel things. He has always been making me feel all giddy, fizzy and warm inside. Ever since I saw him for the first time I've been gone completely.
We don't know each other and I doubt he even knows my name. I'm not a popular or even a likable person in school. Nobody is after me. Nobody is excited to see me. Nobody could ever like me in anyway. I just know it. I'm not attractive or smart or fun- I'm nothing like Hwang Hyunjin.
