life. it really is disgustingly perfect. it's as if life is always playing around – showing you what you desire, but not ever letting you achieve it. all these thoughts surround your head as you stare at eunha talking to another girl at another table in the cafeteria. yes, the girl was beautiful, but...... what did she have that you didn't?
was it the brown-tinted hair, or the flowy white ribbon? was it the pair of glimmering almond eyes, or the pink lips that seemed so plump and full?
you couldn't help but feel a little jealous. the way eunha looked at her, drunk-dazed, as if he was captivated by the girl's goddess-like looks.
you were snapped out of your staring by seungmin's voice.
"earth to yuju??" he questioned, waving his hand in front of your face.
"oh! yes! hi!" you replied, pink rushing to the tips of your ears.
"uhh.... you're really red, but let's ignore that...'' seungmin commented. "it's like.. 1:10, we really should get going, or we'll most likely be late."
you made an inaudible sound that sounded like a mix of a "mm" and a gasp. rushedly, you grabbed your lil tote bag, threw it over your shoulder, then ran to your next lecture. as you sat waiting for the professor, you couldn't help but start daydreaming again.
how could you have been so shallow to realise that eunha wouldn't like you back? he obviously liked the other girl — his way of communication with her was so evidently affectionate.
—------------
"bro... you really messed up back there." minho told eunha. "yuju obviously has a crush on you, and, i believe you do too. what were you doing with that other girl? yuju has been acting really differently since lunch..."
"i... i was too shy to talk to yuju... i guess i expected her to come talk to me instead of me having that awkward conversation with the other girl??" eunha replied.
minho shaked his head, patting eunha on the back.
"you better go get her while you still can... she's going to move on soon."

you were in your oversized silk collared pyjamas when you heard a sudden knock on the door. you opened the door with your bag of chips in hand, expression sleepy, expecting either seungmin or minho to come to ask you for homework help. what you didn't expect was eunha, standing there at the door, his masculine build towering over you.
"oh god... please come in!" you signalled, not wanting him to stand outside your dorm in such an awkward position. he settled on your couch while you poured him a cup of water.
"uhh... mind if i ask why you're here?" you question.
his mind went blank upon hearing your voice. his practised-to-perfection confession speech now seemed foreign. he was forgetting his vocabulary one by one, as he stared into the round doe eyes of yours. he could only make out one word —
"homework."
"oh." he couldn't help but notice your disappointed tone – did he sound too cold? were you expecting him to say something along the lines of "i love you"?
—--------------
you tutored him through his homework at a world-record speed. as you were packing his stuff up while he was in the toilet, preparing for his departure, you only wished he would stay a little while longer. a little while later, as eunha touched the cold metal doorknob of your front door, he turned around, grabbing your wrist. you looked more than startled, which really did make him a little nervous about his confession.
he took a deep breath.
"yuju. i've been noticing how in the past 3 months, we've grown closer, from strangers to friends. but i don't really like our relationship right now... i want to take it to another level. yuju... will you go on a date with me?" eunha confessed.
he stared at your face which obviously had the words "taken aback" painted on it. he was starting to panic, what if you didn't feel the same way? what if what minho said was not true at all?
"yuju i-"
his sentence was cut short by the feeling of your heart-shaped lips connecting to his in an instant. the moment shared between you two created sparks, like fireworks in the night sky.
"yes. send me the details later, yeah?" you chuckled, seeing his bewildered face.
he took a quick lil peck at your lips before nodding, squeezing your small hand in his, then walking out your door.
