Love Tracks

Seungmin's POV

Few days had passed since Hyunjin and I talked. We were slowly going back to the way we used to before, although some changes in our routine had happened

I was waiting for the train to arrive as I fixed one of my mittens that wasn't properly worn. It was quiet, as quiet as it was when Jisung wasn't our friend yet

"Station 3. Please be careful of the gap between the train and the platform."

I looked up to the train as the passenger cars opened. I slowly walked over to the middle one as I entered and walked over to our usual spot

There I saw Hyunjin and Jisung sitting beside each other, a thing that started happening when Jusung had moved to Station 2. It wasn't a big deal honestly, since it didn't change the routine that much

As soon as I sat down in front of Hyunjin, he smiled towards me and stopped whatever song was playing. He then put our song on

"Hey hey!", Jisung greeted me as I smiled. "Hello, Jisunggg! Good morning, to both of you", I said as they nodded and said good morning back

"I've heard that our homeroom teacher would start to assign the partners for the Winter Ball", Hyunjin suddenly said as I looked at him suprised

"Woah, really?", I said as he nodded. "I heard that the other sections had been already assigned, that's why some them were ranting on Twitter about how stupid it was", Jisung said

I chuckled a bit at what he said. In all honesty, I wasn't excited about this whole thing at all. Sure, I want to experience this ball, but the fact you're required to have a parter is just a huge no

School has ended and I'm currently at my bedroom sitting by my study area. It was just a table that was connected to a book shelf

I just sat there, rejecting the project sitting in front of me, as I find the bulletin board more interesting. It was decorated with pictures of me, my family, friends and Hyunjin

Some old and neglected to-do lists were still up and displayed on there too, some were done while some had empty checkboxes (even though they were done months ago)

I sighed as I remembered what Jisung had asked the very first time we met. It was a question that somehow made me realize some stuff

( This happened at the very end of Chapter 2. )

"By the way", Jisung spoke up as we, Hyunjin and I, looked at him as he shyly smiled, "Uhm, are you guys like... You know... Dating..?"

I suddeny felt myself blush in memory of the question. What made him ask that? Does Hyunjin and I actually look like we're dating?

I blushed harder at the thought of Hyunjin calling me his. I covered my face with my hands as I smiled like an idiot. I never knew I liked him this much...

"God, Hyunjin... What have you done to me?", I said to no one. All of a sudden my phone notified me that someone had messaged

I grabbed my phone as I checked who it was. As soon as I saw who it was, I opened my phone to reply

I closed my phone as I placed it at the table. I closed my eyes as I rested my back at the chair letting my shoulders relax

Soobin is my partner at the ball and our class was tasked to have an accessory that matches with you partner, although everyone's must be different

"This is really going to be interesting, huh?"
