25. A Surprise

*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧⁠*✧⁠*

"Haejin, are you done?", Minho peeked through the door of her room, checking in on her if she was done with her studies. Tomorrow was her last exam, and the subject was her least favourite, Production Operations Management.

"No, Minho. I have to revise once again.", Haejin replied, her eyes not leaving the book in front of her. Being tired, she was sitting on her bed.

"You've been saying that for an hour now.", Minho pouted. He wanted her to be done with her studies so that he could cuddle her. But the scene in front of him told him that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon and he was low-key sulking.

"Minho, go away.", Haejin spoke, still not looking away from her books. She really was not going to give in to his futile attempts of making her close her book.

Minho was no less, he wasn't going to give up easily either. The lack of attention from Haejin was definitely getting to him and he was craving for her. So, he did the opposite of what he was told to do. He sat beside her on the bed, facing her, though Haejin still didn't look at him.

"It's like almost midnight. You've revised around ten times.", Minho pouted, trying to act as cute as he could but it had no effect because she didn't even look in his direction.

"Minho, I need to study. What if I forget-"

"After revising ten times? You won't. But you sure will forget if you revise any further.", Minho spoke, trying to convince her to give up on the books and give in to him.

"Minho, let me study-"

"Haejin I won't hesitate in making out with you if you don't keep the book aside."

This sentence really caught Haejin off-guard, the thought of make-out causing her body to tense. Her hands tensed and Minho noticed that, smirking to himself.

"Minho, it's not the time for a joke.", Haejin spoke, trying to stay composed and definitely not thinking of what he said.

"Who said I was joking?", Minho scoffed as he put her book aside. His hands went straight to her waist and he lifted her up, placing her on his lap. She was almost straddling him. He didn't even give her time to comprehend what just happened, jumping straight into action.

When Haejin realised their position, her face and ears turned red and her eyes widened. Her voice was caught in her throat, her breathing rate increased significantly, seeing the hot Minho in front of her.

"Why would you not listen to me?", Minho questioned, now having a pouty face, his hands still on Haejin's waist. The guy who was the hottest seconds ago was now the cutest, giving Haejin a whiplash. She didn't know whether to feel flustered or to adore Minho's aegyo.

"I... I'm just scared for tomorrow.", Haejin accepted. "Even though I've studied, I keep forgetting. Hence, I keep revising.", she completed her sentence as she gazed into Minho's eyes. She felt as if she was stargazing, his brown eyes glimmering, looking even more attractive because of his long lashes.

"Haejin, you won't forget. You've already studied a lot. Now give yourself time to rest and relax because if you don't do that, then you surely will forget everything."
