Between Two Hearts • yeonjun × hoshi

3: Daniel

As the day progressed I had the urge to sleep.

I was extremely exhausted since the night prior I had at least four hours of sleep. During lunch break, I was with my friends at the cafeteria.

I didn't care, I laid my head on the table and fell asleep. My friends kept teasing me but in a joking way. From time to time I would smirk because of the funny remarks they made.

"Daniel wouldn't like his princess sleeping without him."

I quickly woke up and punched Hyunjin on his stomach. The rest of my friends remained quiet. I could've sworn that most kids heard what Hyunjin said.

"Ara?"

I slowly turned to look at Jia. She had a grin on her face.

"Are you and Daniel-"

Before she could fully ask her question I cut her off.

"Nothing is going on. I don't know him, he doesn't know me as well." I assured her.

Once again I turned to Hyunjin and continued to punch his stomach. He apologized which caused me to stop punching him.

I knew that "Daniel" was watching us the entire time. I didn't seem bothered by it.

I didn't know which name to refer to him as. Daniel or Yeonjun? Most people called him Yeonjun and others would call him Daniel.

It took me some time to decide but I ended up picking the name I wanted to call him.

After nearly beating Hyunjin to a pulp I wasn't tired. Instead, I was filled with an adrenaline rush so I needed to calm down.

I started eating my lunch which was mac and cheese. My friends soon forgot about what just happened. We ended up having a lively conversation about art.

From time to time I would look around trying to find out where he was seated. I had no luck until I heard a group of guys laugh that boomed the cafeteria.

It startled me. However, it was the perfect opportunity to find him."

I scanned the cafeteria intensely and finally found him. He was looking down at his meal with a smirk on his face. He then laughed along with his friends.

Seeing him smile somehow made my heart flutter. It was a weird feeling but at the same time, it felt like a familiar feeling.

His gaze finally caught mine. He had his serious face on. Without breaking eye contact he took a bite of his burger.

It was weird seeing him chew while staring at me. My eyes quickly diverted away from his and landed on his friend who sat next to him.

I nearly blushed but I didn't want him to see that he had such a strong effect on me.

"Gosh, I wish I didn't have a huge crush on him." I thought to myself.
