"I'm calling dibs on Sunoo." Soumya looked at everyone in the eye, challenging then to argue, which no one did.

"Yeah, yeah, keep your Sunoo with you. I hope he turns you into a vampire like he did to others." Tanmai said. "I'll be happy with any of them."

"I want Jungwon then." Yagna proposed. "I saw some of his videos, and he's really cool. Even his brother is"

Everyone snapped in shock towards her and then turned towards Shireen. The said girl was quietly munching on her food this whole, and now she was smiling at Yagna.

"Say that again, my dear?" She said all too sweetly.

Yagna visibly shrinked back in her seat.

"I mean, I'll be happy with his brother." She said and gave a nervous smile.

"Girl, we all know that Shireen is Jungwon's wife. That's the reason even her contact is saved by that name in Leah's phone." Shraddha said while turning to me.

I had a spoon halfway to my mouth, which stuffed in and nodded. "Also, her birthday greeting."

Everyone started laughing, remembering the frosting on the cake for Shireen, which was W/O jungwon.

"Now your turn, bro." Shraddha turned to me. "Pick your dream boyfriend from Enhypen."

"Heesueng."

There was no thinking about it. Heesueng was my ultimate bias. I might get distracted by other boys once in a while, but I always came back to loving Heesueng.

"Obviously, Heesueng. That was a dumb question for her, really." Soumya said.

"That's not true. She was just screaming about Niki looking hot in the performance for Criminal Love before we sat down for lunch. She kept on rewinding the 3 minute performance and watched it for 15 mins." Tanmai said.

"Criminal love performance is supreme. No performance of theirs is going to beat Criminal Love for me." I said, smiling dreamily. "Everyone looked absolutely ethereal. And Niki got his deserved screen time with that absolutely stunning hair."

"So Leah, that brings, if you had to choose one from the whole Kpop boys? Will it be Heesueng?" Yagna asked.

That was a tough one now. All the Hybe boys were my love. Choosing one to have as a boyfriend even hypothetically was hard. It all came down to 2 boys.

"Heesueng and Soobin." I said after a thought. "Can't choose between them."

"You can't have two at once, bro." Shraddha said.

"Technically, I can. There's a thing called poly. And I can be the node between them." I grinned at them while they all laughed at my thought.

"You need to stay away from Wattpad and Wikipedia Leah." Shireen said, looking up from her phone. Probably seeing Jungwon's pictures.

They continue to chatter about all things Kpop and Kdrama. I munched on my food and looked around in the class. Particularly at the first bench, where two of our friends were speaking to the boys sitting there. My eyes zeroed in on one. I stared at his figure bouncing in his seat in excitement. Probably some gossip. Us sitting on the last bench didn't give me the chance to see his face while he raved about something to my friends. But I could definitely imagine it. I know it all too well after seeing him for the past 7 months in class. I saw my friend Zeenat coming down to his face level and him whispering something in her ear as they both laughed. I felt my chest tighten at the sight and looked away from them just in time to hear something about Enhypen's world tour in a few weeks.

"- So they're supposedly on a break for a few days." Shireen announced. Everyone sighed at the fact they won't see Enha in action for some time. I wasn't as obsessed with them to know about their upcoming releases or their schedules. If my wattpad library filled with their fanfictions is removed from the equation.

The bell rang, and all the students started to pack their lunches and shifted back to their seats.

I picked mine with Yagna tagging along to our seat in the 3rd row with him diagonal to me in the 1st row. Sir came in and started the long and sleepy plethora of Interpretation of Statutes. I was sure more than half of the class was sleeping already. I looked towards my friends at the row beside me. Most of them either sleep or listen to music. Sir can't even see them because of the distance. After taking some notes, I slowly zone out. Imagining all the scenes from the story I read the previous day. Enha being vampires and y/n stumbling upon their castle in the forest. Zoning out some more and floating around y/n doing Enha's makeup as they stare at her face. Finally jolting awake from my daze when Sir pointed me out. Right when Yeonjun was going to make out with the OC. I cursed in my mind for not paying attention as I look at my teacher.

"Leah, tell me the first rule of interpretation." He had his finger pointed out at me with his eyes closed, expecting immediate answer.

"Literal Construction sir." I reply.

"And tell me the last legal maxim we learnt yesterday." He asked again.

I wacked my brain trying to remember it when I saw him staring me. I fumbled for the words and get it them out finally.

"Ut res magis valeat quam pereat." I say.

"Good. Very good." Sir smiles and continues to the related topic.

I tried to pay attention while I conjured up the image of Yeonjun slamming the girl against the wall. Just where I left it off. So much to not be obsessed.
