The teacher's voice broke Jeonghan's reverie and he snapped his gaze back to the front of the classroom.
"Class, we have a new student today," the teacher announced, her eyes scanning the room before landing on Jeonghan.
"This is Jeonghan," she continued, "He's just transferred here from another school, so I hope you'll all welcome him and make him feel comfortable."
Jeonghan smiled awkwardly at the class, feeling a wave of nervousness wash over him. All eyes were on him, and he could feel the weight of their curious gazes.
Seungcheol's gaze lingered on Jeonghan, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
Jeonghan took his seat.The teacher continued talking and teaching, but all Seungcheol did while the lesson went on was stare at Jeonghan.After a while, Jeonghan felt like he was being watched and looked around, meeting eyes with Seungcheol. A smirk formed immediately on Seungcheol’s lips.Jeonghan quickly turned away. He didn’t know why the smirk had made him feel flustered, but it did.He tried to pay attention to the teacher’s lecture, but his eyes kept wandering to Seungcheol, who was still looking at him every chance he got. Jeonghan was glad when the bell rang, signaling the end of class.Jeonghan is the last one packing his stuff up. However, Seungcheol quickly made his way over to Jeonghan’s desk and stood in front of it, hands in his pockets alone
Jeonghan looked up at him with a mixture of surprise and confusion."Can I help you?" he asked, his voice cool and calm despite the fluttering feeling in his stomach.
Seungcheol smiled, revealing a dimple in his left cheek. Jeonghan tried to ignore how attractive it made him look.
"I just wanted to say hi, " Seungcheol replied, leaning against the desk and crossing his arms.Jeonghan rolled his eyes, trying to appear unbothered.
"You were already saying hi by staring at me during the whole class," he said, raising an eyebrow at Seungcheol.Seungcheol chuckled.
"Well, I couldn’t help it. You're pretty, " he replied, his eyes trailing over Jeonghan.
Jeonghan felt the fluttering in his stomach again, this time stronger than before. What was wrong with him?He tried to ignore it and cleared his throat before asking, “Are you always this forward with strangers?”
Seungcheol shrugged. “Only the cute ones.”
Jeonghan felt his cheeks heat up and quickly looked away, pretending to organize his things.Seungcheol chuckled again, enjoying Jeonghan’s reaction.
“Are you always this shy around guys?” he teased, leaning in closer.
Jeonghan’s heart rate quickened but he tried to keep his cool.
“No, just ones who are annoying, “ he shot back.Seungcheol’s smirk widened. “You think I’m annoying, huh?”
Jeonghan tried to hold back a smile, but a small one still formed on his lips.
“Yeah, really annoying.”
Seungcheol chuckled again, clearly amused by Jeonghan’s attitude.He leaned in even closer until he was mere inches away from Jeonghan’s face. Jeonghan’s heart was racing now, and he tried to act unaffected, but he was sure Seungcheol could hear it.
Seungcheol looked him up and down, his eyes lingering on Jeonghan's lips for a moment before meeting his gaze.“You know, I think you’re secretly not annoyed by me at all, “ Seungcheol said, his voice low and seductive.
Jeonghan felt a shiver run down his spine but tried to play it cool.
“And why would you think that?” he replied with a hint of breathiness in his voice.Seungcheol leaned in even closer, their faces now only centimeters apart.
"Because your heart is racing right now, " he whispered, his breath fanning against Jeonghan’s skin.
Jeonghan’s breath hitched. How did he know that?He wanted to deny it, but he knew it was true. His heart was beating rapidly, and he felt warm all over.
