☆ Number '8'☆

||

Kim Aera's pov:-

As Haneul whispered something to me and ran away, I looked at her disappearing figure being confused as what just happened? As said by her, I turned around to see him standing inches away from me. He was standing there with all his beauty, although he was wearing the normal school uniform every boy was wearing, but he made it looked different on him. Or perhaps, he was different from them.

"Sunghoon Park?" an unintentional whispered came out from me as soon as my gaze fall upon him.

It was much surprising to me see him here, 'did he came to meet me?'

I decided to move from my place seeing him being statued on his place. I went near him maintaing a distance between us. I called out to him and asked him if he was fine day. He did answered by saying he was 'all fine' but still tiredness could be easily seen on him. I decided to let it slide for now, maybe he was uncomfortable. So I just nodded. He even apologized to me for yesterday, which was not even needed.

What caught my attention next was those things in his large hands.I'm guessing it was a chocolate bar and a milkshake. Seemed like he noticed my gaze and forwarded his hands towards me with those foods. I looked at him being puzzled once again, not gonna lie but this boy makes me go all jumbled all the time.

"I don't know how to thank you and so this is all I could come up with, please have this." he stated while his hand was still handing me what he brought for me. I looked at him with beung surprise, I wasn't expecting this. I tried to deny him, but he really wanted me to take those. So, I took them and thanked him. Suddenly, it was all silent. I couldn't form anywords to continue our conversatio, it looked the same from his side.

And so, gathering my every bit of courage I forwarded my right hand to him to have a handshake after introducing my self formally. I just realised that we really didn't seemed to introduce us, everything happened suddenly. He looked nervous, I thought he wouldn't shake hands with me. "It's-" before I could say it was fine and take my hand back he grabbed it and shaked his hand while introducing himself.

A huge smile would be seen on my face, while he was just being normal. I don't mind though. We took our hands back once we finished with out formal greeting session or whatever it is called.

Once again, we are at a lose of words. This is awkward. "I gotta go now, have a nice day." Sunghoon said and slightly bowed. I looked at him replied "Bye, you too." and bowed as well. He walked away after bidding a bye. I never once felt this nervous while talking to a boy, then why is he making me feel all nervous that makes me even forget how to speak.
Lord, this is weird, I feel weird.

I was still processing the fact that he came and apologized to me, not only he did said he's sorry but also brought me some snacks. It was beyond my expectations. Hence it's proved that we shouldn't 'Juge a book by it's cover'. I felt happy, the moment he gave these snacks to me, for others it maybe a little thing, but for it's a huge thing and I appreciate his efforts.

"It won't be bad to be friends with him, I guess?"

I don't know why but I just wanted to get closer with him, know more about him. I never really had many male friend, all they knows is how to win to love and do some crazzy stuffs or whatever. They did nothing but made me feel cringe. While Park Sunghoon, who seems to have a diffrent personality, makes me curious. Curious about him, But the problem is, will he allow me to enter in his life? I'm afraid he wouldn't.

I noticed Haneul coming towards my direction with a mischievous grin dancing on her face. "What?" I asked once she was close enough to me.

"I see some chemistry he-" exclaimed Haneul before sitting beside me.

"What the- shut the fuck up girl!" I replied, I suddenly felt hot, my toes being curled up and I can feel my ears and cheeks all going red. Before I could think about it more, Haneul once again shouted making me jump from my intrusive thoughts, "Aeae, are you perhaps blushing?" questioned Haneul and pointed to my cheeks. She was gazing at me with those dark brown curious eyes, making me gulp.

"Wh-at? No, uh it's just too hot in here." I replied before faning myself with my free hand. There's noway I will expose myself blushing, that too infront of Haneul. She'll eat my brain alive for sure.

Nevermind.

"Whatever." she replied before being back to her position.

That was a close one.

"Alright class, I'm gonna provide you with a group project of History, each group consisting of 2 members. Now, come forward one by one and collect a piece of paper to see with whom you are going to get paired with." instructed our History teacher. While I was excited to do the project, I can hear groans as well, surrounded by me. It made me laugh seeing their these behaviours which I'm used to it. "Numbers are written on these pieces of paper oj the right side and on the left side as well. The boys will choose from the right side and the girls will choose from the left side." she continued to instruct us the rules of how would we choose our partners.

"So this time its male-female." A random student spoke.

I was curious as to with whom I would end up with, my thoughts came to a halt when it was my time to pick a random piece of paper which would make me end up with a random student. While I was excited,curious- I was nervous at the same time and impatiently waiting for our teacher's next intruction.

Soon enough everyone was having a piece of paper with them, although most of them looked pale before but right now, a wave of excitement could be seen on their faces waiting for the mysterious number to be seen.

"Okay, it's time for you all to know your partners." as soon she spoke those words, I immediately opened my paper with a hope to have atleast a good, normal dude. I peeked with my right eye to see an even number written on it, fully opening the paper.

"I wonder who got the number '8'?"
