Selective

"You're gonna be partners with your seatmate. The due's tonight by 11:59." Our professor from History class announced before walking out of the classroom.

I slap my own hand against my forehead. I looked at the sleeping figure beside me and groan. This guy. Again! The past few days he's been attending class only to sleep or annoy the hell out of me.

And what? Partners for an activity? What are we high schoolers?

"You must be so lucky to be partners with a hot guy like me." I heard him say.

"What?" I rolled my eyes before reapplying my perfume.

After that, I stood up and hold my book before leaving the classroom to go to the library. I have so many deadlines today. I'm exhausted! And now I have Hyunjin as my partner for the activity to be submitted later.

"Hey, miss. I thought we have an activity today?" I suddenly heard Hyunjin's voice behind me. Oh, so he followed me.

I faced him and notice his sleepy eyes. "And?"

"What? Like you're gonna leave me knowing you need me for the activity?" He showed me a smug look. Even after a nap, he's still very smug!

I blinked a few times and gasped, pretending to be surprised. "I'm sorry. I thought you don't care about the activity because you were having the oh-so-good sleep during class."

"You're funny, (Y/N)." He smirked at me.

"But seriously though, I never thought you'd actually join me today. I thought I'll be making up answers for your part of the activity since you always go to the theatre room with your ladies to uhm, maybe watch a play of Romeo and Juliet? Or something else?" I told him what I've been noticing for the past few days. It's true that I always see him in the hallways, pinning girls on their lockers, flirting with them, and even going to the music or theatre room. I get that he's famous and girls are head over heels for him but it only makes my eyes roll.

"I didn't go to the theatre room with Kate. She's just a friend. She only asked if I could tell her where's the faculty room. That's all." Hyunjin said and looked at me defensively.

He really mentioned the girl's name, huh? Tsk!

"I don't care, Hyunjin. You know what? Follow me." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Of course, miss." He let out a small chuckle.

"Stop calling me that!" I hissed.

The library, as usual, was very freezing cold. Sometimes I wonder if the librarian thinks of us as meat instead of humans. I can't take this cold temperature of the air conditioner.

After writing down both of our names in the logbook, we settle down at the table that's located at the last part. It's my favorite location because there's only a few students at this area. Less mumbling noise so I could focus more.

"So," Hyunjin took out his book and paper.

Hmm. That's new.

"Miss, what's the activity again?"

I paused for a moment. Is this real? Is Hyunjin really taking his studies seriously now? Never have I imagined him having like a study session with me. Or maybe he's trying to get this over quickly so he wouldn't deal with me any longer. Whatever. I feel the same.

"Miss?" He tilted his head making me snap out of my thoughts. I saw a smirk on the side of his lips. "Now you're crushing on me."

"I would never!"
