74 - Park Sunghoon

Imagine you're in class, working on an assignment your teacher just handed out. Conveniently, your assigned seat is located right behind your crush, Park Sunghoon. And it's because of this ironic location that you find yourself zoning out more often than not, opting to stare longingly at the handsome male's backside while he works instead of focusing on your own work. 

Today is no exception. Just as you finish a question on the assignment and you crane your neck up to cast a flitting glance at Sunghoon, you flinch involuntarily when he suddenly slams his hands down on his desk and mutters, under his breath, in frustration, "Shit."

You're taken by surprise when Sunghoon swiftly turns around in his seat to face you.

"Do you have an eraser?" The question sets an unreasonable amount of panic aflame in your guts. Your hands begin to feel clammy and your heart skips a beat, but not because your crush actually acknowledged your existence. No - it's because he absolutely cannot see your eraser. 

"No, I only use pen," you shake your head stiffly, grip tightening on the black ballpoint pen resting in your dominant hand nervously as you hold your breath, hoping he'll buy your polite rejection. 

"Liar," Sunghoon snorts before reaching to the side of your desk and snatching your pencil pouch into his own hands. "You're always prepared for class. You've always been prepared ever since we were little kids in elementary school. I know you have a bunch of pencils and at least one good eraser in here." 

Quite honestly, you're at a loss for words. You had no idea Sunghoon paid that close attention to even realize that you always had anything you could think of, from A to Z, prepared just in case you truly ever needed them. It was a habit that your mom had instilled into you ever since you can remember. But then again, despite his intimidating aura, you don't peg Sunghoon as the type of student who actually ignores his classmates' existence just because he seems cold and uninviting at first glance. 

"Why don't you ask someone else?" you huff, desperately trying to grab your case back from him. The determined male easily avoids your motions and leans backward slightly to veer away from your seemingly useless attempts as he searches the small case's contents. 

"Aha! See?" he smiles triumphantly, ignoring your question, as he pulls out an eraser and wiggles it slightly in your face. "Found one."

He then proceeds to turn around to erase whatever had frustrated him earlier. But just as he's about to return your eraser, you notice him freeze and his head tilts in confusion. You hold your breath when the handsome male turns around in his seat slowly with a small smile curling on his lips. When he lifts up the eraser closer to his face to analyze it a bit more, his smile grows even wider.

"Y/N?" Sunghoon hums, almost in a sing-songy manner, finally glancing up at you. "These are my initials etched onto your eraser."

"Oh, is it?" you laugh awkwardly, wishing the ground would just swallow you whole now. "I found this eraser on the floor so it must have been yours," you shrug fighting the urge to grimace because even you have to admit - that was one of the worst lies you've ever heard.

Sunghoon tosses the small piece of rubber back to you, but you're too shocked to react so it thuds softly onto your desk and bounces a few times. He chuckles softly under his breath at your telling expression, "Sure, sure."

If only you knew what had prompted him to borrow your eraser in the first place. The handsome male had grown rather frustrated with himself when he realized he had been spacing out and scribbling your initials on the corner of the worksheet rather than working for the past 10 minutes.

Happy Monday, Dalgis! How'd y'all like this Sunghoon imagine? For some reason, this one has a really soft spot in my heart. It also doesn't help that I've been re-watching I-Land this past week and keep falling for trainee Sunghoon's charms & determination. 

I hope you've all been staying safe, happy, and healthy!  I love you 💗

Until next week,
