Insomnolence

Chapter 4

Jisung POV

"So, what do you want to eat?" Seungmin and I stayed behind after class had ended, taking our time to put away all of our things.

"Umm, I don't know yet." I looked at Seungmin while someone caught my attention behind him. Wait is Hyunjin walking up to us. There is no way he has to be walking out the door.

"Hey! Seungmin and Jisung, right?" Seungmin recognized that voice and didn't look back. I could tell he was trying to calm himself down before he did something embarrassing.

"Yeah, what's up?" Seungmin and I both looked up at him with curious eyes.

"Sorry to bother you both, but I didn't understand what went over in class. Can you help?" He stared at us while Seungmin and I looked at each other dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I didn't understand much either so I might not be of help. Seungmin might be a better person to ask." Seungmin shot me a glare while I smiled at him.

"Seungmin, are you free right now, or could you swing by my place later?" Seungmin was speechless since Hyunjin's arrival, his eyes wide with alarm. Before Seungmin had the chance to decline, I jumped in with an answer on his behalf.

"Yep, he's all yours tonight he can help you study."

"Coming too, Han?"

"Nah, I'll pass, I have plans!"

"Okay! Can I get your phone number, so I can send you, my address?" Hyunjin turned towards Seungmin with his phone open.

"Sure." Seungmin took the phone out of his hand and typed his phone number.

"See you later." Hyunjin winked as he walked out the door.

"No way that just happened." Seungmin turned towards me with a smile on his face.

"All I'm saying is this is your chance to get close with him so don't mess it up by being mean and awkward." I got up from my seat and started walking out the door. Seungmin followed not far behind me.

Seungmin POV

I can't believe I'm in a taxi on my way to Hyunjin's house, thinking about being in a room along with Hyunjin is making me nervous. Especially, since he has been my crush for the longest time, what if I say something bad that upsets him, or I embarrass myself in front of him.

Once I got there, I got out of the taxi mesmerized by the size of Hyunjin's house, I mean it was huge. I thought when people said he was rich, he might have a big house, but this house was a mansion. Maybe I got the address wrong and started checking to make sure the taxi didn't take me to the wrong house. When I was sure it was the right house, I rang the bell at the front of the gate standing awkwardly while waiting for a response.

I heard a women's voice, "Who is it?" I took a breath nervous she wouldn't let me in.

"I am Hyunjin's classmate Seungmin, here to tutor him"

"Oh, Hyunjin let us know you're coming, I'll come to the door to greet you." I waited, soon the gate opened a lady greeted me and let me walk in. "Sorry for the wait."

"It's okay. I didn't wait long" I continued walking to the front door. I can see why the lady took so long to reach the gate. They had a massive garden that led from the front gates to the door. It was beautiful, full of flowers and trees on one side, but I was walking at a fast pace, scared I would run into a bee.

I finally walked into the house, admiring the interior of the house and the size of the living room. The house was classy and clean looking like there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere.

"Hyunjin is aware you are here; you can take a seat he will be here soon." She guided me to sit in the living room. Another Lady came with a cup of water and placed it on the table in front of me. I sipped my water as I scrolled through my instagram and a picture of Hyunjin popped up. I felt someone behind me and leaned down towards my phone. I turned around to see Hyunjin next to me looking at my phone.

"They should take a picture of my other side; it looks better in pictures." I was shocked to see Hyunjin, so out of panic I turned my phone off and stood up fast.

"Hyunjin, your're here." I was screaming on the inside no way he just saw me looking at a picture on his fan page. What if he finds out I'm obsessed with him, no way. I was panicking on the inside trying to appear nonchalant. Before Hyunjin could ask me about the situation I asked, "So where do you want to study?"

"We'll do it in my room, follow me." I walked behind him slowly, trying to calm down my heart.

We walked into his room, which was as astonishing as the rest of the house. He had two rooms connected in one. Looking into the other room I could see canvas and painting supplies. I guess it was a mini studio of some sort. He approached a desk by the window, where it appeared he had placed an extra chair for me to sit.

I placed my backpack on the chair as I pulled out my notes, laptop and textbook on the desk. He took a seat in the meantime, watching me until I sat down.

"So, what can I help you with?" Hyunjin looked at me weary. I sighed. This was not going to be easy.

"Hyunjin, I told you multiple times about how to input your endpoint and critical values in the formula to find the minimum value of F(x)." I was starting to get frustrated at Hyunjin, since he would just sit there smiling and nodding.

"I forgot." He gave me a smug smile as if that was supposed to make everything better. This was going to be the 5th time I explained how to use the formula. I don't think he was listening the past 4 times because it was the same calculus problem, and he still didn't understand it. We spent 40 minutes on one problem, and I was reaching a point of no return with my patience.

"Hyunjin, you need to focus on my explanation or else how will you understand what I'm telling you. Stop staring at me and look at the paper. I will only go over it once more. If you don't pay attention I'm going to get up and leave so stop wasting my time." I was being harsh but whenever I told him how to do, all he did was stare at me with a smile. It was frustrating to say the least. This time he looked at the paper and followed along to what I was saying.

Hyunjin POV

I laid in bed while thinking back to my day. Seungmin had left a while ago, his intense seriousness while studying was so unexpected that it made me laugh. He seemed shy and pleasant before our study session, but his demeanor shifted once we began reviewing the class material. Something about him was so distracting, this resulted in Seungmin constantly yelling at me whenever I lost focus. Overall, I thought he was rather cute.
