The atmosphere in the school was charged with excitement as students bustled towards the assembly hall for the eagerly awaited revelation of their blind date pairs. Zhang Hao found himself caught up in the energy, his heart racing with anticipation as he joined the crowd.

As he navigated through the corridors, Hao unexpectedly found himself walking alongside Ricky. Hao's eyes lit up with recognition as he greeted him with a friendly smile. "Ricky! Are you excited for the pair reveal?"

Ricky's response was tinged with a touch of bitterness as he let out a dry chuckle. "Actually, I won't be participating. Detention duty today."

Hao's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "Detention? What happened?"

Ricky's expression turned somewhat sheepish as he shrugged. "Just an argument with Gyuvin. Things got out of hand."

Hao's curiosity was piqued as he probed further. "Gyuvin? You guys seemed to be in good terms lately."

Ricky's response was laden with a mixture of anger and confusion. "We were, but lately, he's been acting really strange. He's been annoying the hell out of me."

Hao tilted his head, his eyes showing genuine concern. "Strange how?"

Ricky let out a sigh, his annoyance evident in his tone. "I don't know. He's been moody and distant, and honestly, I can't figure out what's going on with him."

Hao's gaze softened as he listened attentively. "Maybe he's just going through something? You guys seemed to be getting closer, right?"

Ricky's frustration was palpable as he shrugged again, his frustration evident. "I don't even know. One moment, he's all friendly, the next, he's snapping at me. It's like he's got a split personality or something."

Hao offered a sympathetic smile. "Well, people have their ups and downs. Maybe he's just dealing with his own stuff."

Ricky's lips twitched in a rueful smile. "Yeah, you're probably right. I'm just really annoyed."

Hao gave Ricky a friendly pat on the back. "Don't stress over it too much. Maybe things will settle down."

As they neared the assembly hall, Hao's eyes sparkled with excitement once again. "Anyway, let's hope for some interesting pairings!"

Ricky managed a small smile, appreciating the distraction from his own thoughts. "Yeah, for sure."

The assembly hall buzzed with excitement and chatter as students eagerly awaited the revelation of their blind date pairs. Valentine's decorations adorned the space, and the air was filled with a mix of anticipation and laughter. Matthew stood at the front of the room, his cheerful demeanor contagious as he addressed the crowd.

"Hey, everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you're all having a fantastic day so far," Matthew's voice carried a warm and friendly tone, causing smiles to spread across the audience. "Before we begin, I want to wish you all a day filled with love and joy, whether it's with friends, family, or someone special."

The applause and cheers that followed reflected the festive atmosphere, and Matthew's smile widened. "Now, let's get to the main event, shall we? It's time to reveal the blind date pairs!"

As Matthew started reading out the pairs one by one, hearts raced and eyes darted around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of their own names among the matches. Among the sea of hopeful faces, Zhang Hao stood with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. His gaze couldn't help but gravitate towards Hanbin, who appeared calm and composed.

Hao's heart thumped loudly in his chest as he stole glances at Hanbin, who stood with a casual confidence that seemed to intrigue everyone around him. The possibility of being paired with Hanbin sent a flurry of emotions through Hao, making his palms slightly sweaty.
