Soonyoung

A yawn escapes my lips even though I tried to keep it in since I'm sitting in the front row of my lecture. I'm trying my best to concentrate since I already have a beef with the professor and I don't wanna ignite it further. Because the last time I fucked up he nearly gave me a F in the project and today I ain't risking it, no way since I'm already considering myself lucky. Well, maybe the luckiest.

Well, who wouldn't be when all of your lectures miraculously got cancelled in the last moment. I originally was supposed to have four lectures today and somehow three of my professors magically called it off in the last moment and I can't be more thrilled. So, I only have one lecture and two hours of practice with my gang since we're participating for a dance competition.

And if I were to give someone credits for my fortune today it totally falls in the lap of the beautiful person I've finally met after a long time, Jihoon. Just thinking about him makes me all bubbly, I can clearly make out his features while sitting in a cramped chair and listening to the most annoying shit ever, his pale skin, his soft pink thin lips, his smile, the way his the corner of his lips curl as his long lashes brush against his pale cheeks or the way his long hair brushes against his face when he cackles, everything.

My lips stretching on its own as I see him smiling at me through his long lashes and my instinct proved me right as I feel Kun shoving his arm at me. I nearly jump in my seat until my eyes land on the professor looking at me with a pointing look, his frown deepens as soon as our eyes meet, his bushy eyebrows and lack of hair on his head add up to the look which does nothing but add salt in my cut.

I involuntarily gulp as my heartbeat quickens its pace before giving him my best apology in silent. I see him exhale a long sigh in my way before looking back at the projector and I already know I'm fucked, this baldy won't let me off the hook this easily.

"Stop daydreaming about your boyfriend."

My attention shifts toward my friend, Kun. The smirk in the corner of his lips sends shivers down my spine as my mind stumbles upon his words.

"Everyone knows after the stunt you pulled last week, dumbas," he explains in a whisper but how does he knows that it's a boy, not a girl. Could it be....Riha? Just when I'm about to ask, he beats me to it.

"Jun gave me the tip," he hums as he takes notes and I finally feel lighter.

The hour passes quite in agony for me, I still don't know what the baldy do next and I already was in his shortlisted 'trouble maker' list. But to be honest it wasn't my fault when I pulled that shit but it happened and I can't turn back time to make it right now, can I?

No! I can't!

But that doesn't mean I can't blame someone & I still blame Jeonghan hyung for that. Well, that thing happened when we're fresher and Scoups & Jeonghan hyung being the sophomores had raged me with the task that I had to dump a bucket of paint on the most weird car (according to my taste) presented in the parking lot that time. To me a blazing red car won that category and I being the dumbass literally dumped the bucket clear. Later I found out that car belonged to none other than Mr. Smith and it was his wife's favorite car.

Can you imagine!

Well, I put past it long ago but he still hasn't, every time he sees me in the classroom or the corridor, no matter where, but you can see his hardening gaze on my head as if he wants to smash my skull with his own two hands and I don't really blame him. So, I just blame Jeonghan hyung. But let's be honest, Jeonghan hyung loves me and so do I, but that doesn't mean imma tell him that. Because I'm sure he won't let me hear the end of it. But I actually miss him. I hope he & Seungcheol hyung come back from Japan soon.

"Mr. Kwon!"

I nearly jump at his rough voice, the class has ended but yeah, he has got a score to settle anyway so I politely acknowledge.

"You'll be cleaning the nurse's room as a punishment for not concentrating in class."

I nearly roll my eyes at his explanation but I do nothing out of politeness. He spares me another of his annoying gaze before walking out of the classroom. I slump down on my chair, my legs bouncing up as I did.

"Baldy is still sore," Kun snickers, nudging my side as we both cackle. I bid him bye as he leaves for his next class. I fish my phone out contemplating if I should message Jihoon or not. Well, I actually have been trying it since last night but every time I had thrown my phone away in embarrassment still trying to figure out if it's normal or not.

I'm starting at the 'read' sign near my last message and it makes me more nervous. What if....he again leaves me on read or worst he ignores it!

Ugh! It's nerve wrecking!

Soonie🐯

Jihoonie!!!
Are you free for lunch!!
🥺

Oh, shit! I didn't mean to pressure him or anything but why does my text look like this! How do I delete it!! Okay.....just blame my luck! He read it!!

My heartbeat is racing tremendously as I see the three dots dancing in front of my eyes. I'm sure he's rejecting me! My free hand subconsciously reaches my lips as I bit it between my teeth in anticipation. I'm sure I'm looking like a maniac standing in the corridor with my phone in my hand.

Jihoonie🍑

Yeah
Pick me up from the same place.

"Oh my god!!! He agreed!! He fucking....."

My hands reach out to my mouth shutting myself up after I realized I had fucking scream in the corridor. Can my day get any more worse? Well, not worst since my Jihoonie agreed to go on a date with me and my day can't get any better.

I skip my way happily to the nurse's room since I still have a task on my hand but I'm not sour about it now at least.

~~

The nurse's room isn't something challenging to be honest, just gotta collect the garbage to the recycling area. So, it's pretty easy. I hold two big plastic bags in both of my hands as I walk down the corridor. It's mostly deserted since the classes are ongoing and for those who don't have classes aren't even in the campus.

So, I'm literally the only one whistling like the most happiest man in the world with my hands full of garbage, but I have a date and that's with the man of my dreams, Jihoon. I still can't believe it took me hours to realize that it is him, Lee Jihoon or shall I say Woozi.

But suddenly a hand slams my against the wall, even before I can register who that is I feel a punch in my stomach. It isn't as hard as I thought it would be which is a relief. But when I see who that is under my bangs, my eyes widen. It's Jiyoung, Riha's best friend and my highschool friend.
