 Soojin's POV

"Seojun~" I cooed faintly while he batted his eyelashes. I smiled softly as he wrapped his arms around me. I ruffle up his hair, combing through it. "Yah... Your hair is so oily." I joked. He pinched my sides to which I groaned in pain, rubbing them. "Well good morning to you too." I say. "What time is it?" He mumbles. "Time for you to go home." I say, crossing my arms while getting up from the bed. He grabbed his bag, slung it over his shoulder and headed towards my bedroom door. "It's 4:56 AM, and exit from the window." He looked at me, a puzzled facial expression plastered on his face. "What? Why?" He queried. "Because my parents are home, and I'm not allowed to have sleepovers, so go through the window." I say, getting up and gently shoving him towards it. "You're going to throw me out in the pouring rain?! What if I get sick, Jinnie? Huh? Will you just leave me to be sick and suffer?!" He wailed, placing the back of his hand on his forehead. "You wont get a cold... Goodnight." I smile.

I was wrong. Because later today, he wasn't at school. That was when I got a text message, saying he was sick and how he knew it, so now I'm in debt. "Jugyeong!" I beamed, walking over to her and Suho. Once she saw me, she held his hand. "What's up Jinnie?" She smiled. That was when I paused. Should I tell her that Seojun was sick? "Nothing much, did you do the science homework?" I ask, shifting myself into a different posture. Halfway done with school, I went to the bathroom.

"Dressed myself up for nothing. Wasn't even here to see..." I grumbled to myself. "Jinnie! Why are you removing your makeup? You looked so cute..." She pouted, folding her arms while she looked at me. I had previously worn a lip tint Seojun said he liked, with my hair put up in the high ponytail Seojun would always fiddle with. "What's the point of putting my hair in a fancy hairstyle if he isn't there to play with it?" I say, struggling to wipe off the lip tint. "He? You mean Seojun? Do you have a crush on him~?" Jugyeong teased.

"Yeah, I do." I say, finally getting it off. "WHAAAAAAAAA?!?!?" Jugyeong said, clasping her mouth. "I like Seoujn, yeah. And yes I mean romantically." I clarified. "Let's go!" I smiled, holding her hand and exiting the washroom. "Since when? Why? How?" She rambled, her eyes looking like they were about to pop from their sockets. "A couple months now, I don't know, hormones." I list. "But don't tell anyone. Got it?" I say, pressing a finger against her lips. She nods aggressively. "You have my word soosoo!"

I smiled and ruffled her hair. "Want to go to a cafe after school?" She asked, grabbing her phone and typing out a message to the group chat. "Nah... I have to get home and study." I lied. I didn't want to lie to her, I just wanted some alone time. "We can all go together next time!" I beam, squishing her cheeks together. It was there when I saw a dark glint in her eyes, however it was only for a moment since it went away right then and there. "What class do we have after?" I ask as we walk to our classroom.

I look at the door number, '812' it read. I look at my phone's camera, fixing my hair and my clothes. Maybe what I'm wearing is too flashy? Should it be flashy? Does he like flashy things? Or should I dress to look more humble? I fixed my hair that I had put back up in a high pony. All I wore was an off the shoulder sweater with some flare pants. Are shoulders sexual? I question myself. I mean, I added some earrings that were smaller? Maybe I should let my hair down? Nah, I'll leave it up. I clear my throat and knock on the door. After some rustling from behind the door, I was greeted by Miss Han. "Good afternoon!" I smiled while she gave me a hug. "Good afternoon Soojin! I knew you were going to come over but not so soon! I would've made you a snack..." She scurried around the house, tidying up. "No no, it's fine! I have some snacks in my purse." I voiced. She nodded, pointing at Seojun's bedroom door. "I'll be here if you need me!"
