—— them
"DID YOU MAKE this yourself?" The lady with the pulled back bun asked, her thin eyebrows arching slightly. She was examining Haejin's invention, and the girl was nervous to say the least.
"Yes," Haejin chirped, her nerves loosening as she had presented mere moments before. The lady stepped back, exchanging an unreadable look with the man next to her.
"It's ingenious," she finally said, and Haejin breathed out a sigh of relief. "Well done," she said, looking Haejin directly in the eyes. "Both of you." she concluded, sharing a look at the boy next to Haejin.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you made the top five," the man spoke, in a gruff voice. "Thank you, sir" Jungwon said, and the man smiled before the pair of professors took their leave.
Haejin let out a huge breath, leaning against the table. "That was stressful," she said, fanning herself. Jungwon nodded. "Yup, but at least we did it!"
Haejin turned towards him. "We?! Be for real, I did most of the work!" He scoffed. "Really? If it wasn't for me, you would not even be here!"
"All you know how to do is to get under people's skin and infuriate them!" Haejin retorted. "And your just an annoying, narcissistic, know-it-all pain up the ass!" he fired back, crossing his arms over his chest.
She turned to face him, smirking. "If I'm such an annoying, narcissistic, know-it-all pain up the ass, why'd you kiss me?"
The boy froze, cheeks turning red as he broke eye contact, biting the inside of his cheek. "I have my reasons," he said, adjusting his blazer slightly.
Haejin sniggered. "I'm irresistible and you know it!" Jungwon scoffed, shaking his head as he gave in. He couldn't win against her.
"Look," he tapped her shoulder. "They are about to announce the winners!" Haejin's eyes fluttered away from the boy and up towards the stage. There was a projecter next to it, which gave a better view of what was happening on the stage.
"Thank you all so much for attending this years inter-Asian science and biology fair!" It was the lady with the bun. "We appreciate everyone's hard work and effort they put in, and to all of our teachers who have shared their wonderful knowledge of science and biology with our youth!"
