Professor Yoon

9. Art

Imagine calling your incredibly attractive but jerk ass professor 'hot'. Now, that's something we shouldn't do. Not even in our wildest dreams yet, there's Joshua saying it out loud as if it's the most normal thing to say to your Professor. He did regret it as soon as it came out but what can he do when the damage was already done?

"I appreciate the keen observation, Mr. Hong, but I suppose we have got others things to pay attention to at this moment." The professor seemed way too composed. As if this was a normal occurrence for him to have his students throwing compliments at him.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled, going back to feeding in the coordinates in the small screen.

After the awkward moment had passed, Joshua crouched down to set the height of the telescope while the professor went off to possibly do something about the lights. Joshua didn't mind the lights being gone since it helped him to feel the surroundings better. They chose to stay silent after that encounter. Once the lights were on Joshua got busy with observing the beautiful stars while Professor Yoon got busy with some papers.

"I'd rather have four straight physics lectures than one chemistry lecture." Joshua grumbled, banging his head softly on the brunette's shoulder. He was yet again whining to Professor Chwe along with Seungcheol awkwardly standing next to him.

"That's like the fourth time you said that."

"Does it matter? I hate him and his snarky remarks and his rude behaviour and his annoyingly handsome face!" Joshua pushed his head further against Seungcheol's shoulder as he clung onto his arm. He didn't see the blush attacking the poor brunette, standing there as if he was frozen. Professor Chwe however, didn't miss the sight.

"Joshua, how about you pay a visit to the art studio? It's a been a while you say. I'll give you an extension to your assignment, you seem exhausted. Get some break." Professor Chwe pat his shoulder with a warm smile, watching how the peach blond's eyes glimmer with shine at the statement.

"Really!? Okay then! I'll be sure to get the assignment by Monday! Bye, Hansol, take care!" Joshua practically ran out of the room dragging the frozen brunette with him. Hansol chuckled to himself once the boys had left his class.

"Even if you have an extension, I don't!" Seungcheol tried getting away from the whiny Joshua. Even if he wanted to he couldn't accompany Joshua, he had to complete his assignment before Saturday.

"Fine. I'll go find Hao or Wonwoo." Joshua sulked, folding his arms over his chest, puffing out his cheeks a little.

"Hey, I would love to go with you but you know I can't. If I could I'd drop everything to be there but this is important." Seungcheol tried ruffling the boy's hair softly.

"It's fine. I know how important this is for you, I was just joking." Joshua smiled which was returned quickly by the brunette.

"I'll see you in chemistry." Seungcheol knew this would tick off the other yet he seemed to enjoy teasing him about it.

"Don't remind me!" He grumbled, pushing the brunette to make him walk.

"See you soon, Shua." He jogged towards the other side of the hallway not before flashing an excited wave at the blond boy.

Are you blushing Joshua Hong?
Yes. Yes I am.

Joshua rubbed his palms gently over his cheeks. A shy smile tugging at his cherry lips.

The art studio was unusually empty except for a very invested boy working on a canvas. A boy Joshua had never talked to before but he did notice him in the studio a lot of times. The boy was always so engrossed in his pieces that it made Joshua linger his eyes a little longer at the boy with admiration. He wished to be just as passionate about something. Forgetting everything around him. The time, the place, the people nothing mattered. All that mattered was his art.
