A Heart Pounding

Y/N POV:

I walk out of the room as fast as I can. My heart is racing. It's pounding in my chest, either from whatever just happened back there or from me almost sprinting away from the room.

His eyes...I've never seen them that close before. Not that I've wanted to, but I've never notice how soft and gentle they look. They hold the whole world in them. His lips looked ever so soft-

"What the fuck am I thinking?"

I pause for a moment. I stop walking and I just pause. I let the moment replay over and over in my head. All the small details that I never saw about him are now being replayed in my mind, and I don't think they're leaving anytime soon. I'm far away from the classroom by now. I sit down on a nearby bench and lean back to look up at the sky.

It's all clear. There are clouds here and there. The sun is slowly burning me, but it all feels nice. So peaceful. I close my eyes but all I see is his face. His goddamn face. I want to erase that. I don't need this right now. I open my phone and distract myself by scrolling through my apps.

And when that doesn't work, I yell out loud causing others near by to look at me crazy.

*'Lee Minho...you...you need to stay out of my head,'* I say to myself weakly.

*— Friday morning ~ 10am —*

This week was almost like a week off because teachers were gone for meetings, so I don't have anything today. I decide to take my morning slow. The sun streams through my shades, throwing a faint golden light over my room. I groan and stretch my arms out. After splashing myself with cold water and brushing my teeth, I go to the kitchen to make myself coffee. Breakfast consists of my coffee and a simple stroopwafel. My phone buzzes as I sit down.

M: [hey do you wanna practice today]

Y: [sure ig]

Y: [ill meet you at the dance room at 12]

M: [alr]

*******'Want to practice? No. But I can't afford to fail this project.'*******

I head back to my room and look through my closet. Nothing really stands out to me. Cargo pants and sweatshirt it is.

Back in the common area, I pack my tote bag with some snacks, charger, water, and some other stuff. The sunlight is bright across the room, and I can see the blue sky out the window.

I almost call Hyunjin to pick me up, but I decide to walk to campus instead. It'll only take me about 20 minutes anyways.

**'I should really figure out how I'm gonna fix my car...'**

I slip my shoes on, head outside, and lock the door. The air is crisp and clean. Jogging down the steps of the complex, I run through the moves I have planned in my head.

*'I don't feel like interacting much with Minho during the dance, so he can just copy my moves.'*

*— About 30 minutes later —*

I take my last few steps before arriving onto campus. The tan buildings strike through the sky, giving a variation from the clear, blue expanse. I slow down a bit to take in the nature around me. I can see the beginnings of springs peeking through cold. There are hints of green in the bushes and trees, flowers ready to bud along the walkway. This has always my favorite part of winter: the end of the season entirely. It's always so beautiful to see the plants come back to life.

Before I know it, I arrive at the dance room. I look through the small glass window next to the door that shows the inside of the room. It's dark and absolutely silent. I don't see the darkness, though. I see the hurt in his eyes. The hurt that I left.
