sunoo takes a deep breath and walks into the history section again from the library. last time he was here he saw sunghoon and ever since then he's been avoiding him here at school, because he can't get to know sunoo, at least now.

sunoo tries to put his book back but again he can't reach the shelve, even when he put on his extra high shoes on. he keeps on trying but he really can't put the book back, then someone takes sunoo's book and puts it back at its place. sunoo immediately freezes and wants to curse out loud but he can't.

"and we meet again" sunoo recognizes that voice and he wished he didn't hear it in this way. sunoo slowly turns around and doesn't even make eye contact with sunghoon. "are you avoiding me?"

"w-why would i avoid you...?" sunoo says while slightly changing his voice. sunghoon would probably immediately hear that it's sunoo and sunoo doesn't want sunghoon to find it out like this and especially not now.

"because you don't wanna see me??"

"haha, w-why do you think that...?"

"because you literally always disappear when i see you, i just wanna ask you something, it's not bad" sunghoon says and sees that sunoo is clearly panicking. before he can even think he grabs sunoo's hand and takes him out of the library, sunoo just accepting it at the moment. they stop in an empty classroom and sunghoon lets sunoo sit. "is this better?"

"y-yeah..." sunoo gulps and plays with the end of his hoodie. he's just really scared that sunghoon will find out and that he'll break their friendship.

"i just wanna ask how you know my name? last time i heard you say my name, i think we've never had class together before"

"i've h-heard about you... i k-know many names here at s-school..."

"hm how? i'm not that special" sunghoon chuckles and sunoo wants to say how wrong he is but of course he doesn't.

"just... y-you stand out"

"ah well okay then" sunghoon smiles softly and sunoo wants to disappear in thin air. sunghoon then sits next to sunoo and does something that makes sunoo's heart skip a beat. he grabs sunoo's chin and makes him look at sunghoon. "you're really pretty"

"t-thank you..." sunoo blushes lightly.

"would you like to hang out with me some day? i would love to get to know you"

"u-uhh... yeah sure..."

"cool, how about this saturday at the arcade? 1pm?"

"o-okay" sunoo says and sunghoon smiles proudly while letting sunoo. on the other hand sunoo finally isn't focused on sunghoon's eyes anymore and scans sunghoon's faces, noticing a faded bruise on his cheek. "are you okay...?"

"yeah why?"

"you have a bruise on your cheek... did something happen?" sunoo says and sunghoon's eyes widen, immediately shaking his head and getting up.

"ow uh nothing to worry about, i promise, gotta go now" sunghoon says and before sunoo knows he's gone. sunoo knows sunghoon is lying but sunghoon also hasn't said anything the past few days so sunoo thought he would be okay, but apparently not.
