The moment the teacher took charge, the whole vibe in the class shifted. From the previous chaos, it suddenly turned into this eerie quiet with the teacher's voice booming like he owned the place.
Now, most of the students were zoned into the lecture, soaking up whatever knowledge was being thrown their way. Then there were those who couldn't care less, and well, count me in on that list. I mean, seriously, how am I supposed to focus on the wisdom of a 50-year-old dude at the front when my crush, this ridiculously good-looking guy, is chilling right next to me? It's like expecting a cat not to pounce on a laser pointer.
So, while the teacher was dropping knowledge bombs, my attention was doing somersaults. Every now and then, I'd catch my crush's eyes on me, and suddenly, calculus or whatever was on the board seemed light years away. It's like a battle between wanting to learn and wanting to soak in the charm sitting right beside me.
Out of the blue, Mina gave me a little nudge, snapping me back to reality. "Y/N... Y/N," the teacher called my name. "Ah, yeah," I muttered, and I could practically hear the collective sigh from both Mr. John and the entire class, their eyes zeroing in on me.
"Daydreaming in my class, Y/N?" Mr. John inquired, making me swallow nervously. "No, Mr. John, I was—" "Save it. Just focus on the class," he interrupted, making me nod in agreement.
Mina was trying not to burst out laughing, but Jungkook couldn't care less. And there I was, in the spotlight, with Taehyung shooting me a look. Everyone was watching, but Taehyung's eyes had this different vibe, you know? I can't quite figure it out, but it definitely felt unique, making me wonder what was going on in that mind of his
"Alright, listen up, folks! You've got an assignment due next week, and since it's a team effort, I've spared you the agony of choosing your partners. I did the dirty work for you," the teacher announced, earning a woos and no's from the students. Ignoring the noise, he went on to read out the pairs he'd decided on.
"Mina and Taehyung. Jungkook and Y/N" the teacher announced, and my heart did a little sprint. I stole a glance at Jungkook, but he was engrossed in watching Mina talk to Taehyung.
"Mr. John-" Jungkook suddenly cut in, loud enough to grab everyone's attention. "Teacher, I wanna switch partners," he declared, and there went my heart, free-falling into disappointment. What was I expecting, anyway? To work on an assignment together, talk a lot, become closer, maybe even spark something more? Wishful thinking. He probably only talks to me because I'm with Mina. Y/n, you can't be any more stupid than this.
He likes mina, get that shit in your head
"Okay, who do you wanna switch to?" the teacher inquired. Jungkook looked at Mina, then back at the teacher. "I wanna pair up with Mina," he said. I felt a pang of disappointment but tried to mask it. Mina seemed hesitant to agree, but before she could decline, Taehyung jumped in, saying, "That's good, I also wanted to pair up with Y/N."
I swear, not just me, but the whole class was hit with a shockwave of surprise. What just happened?
