Sunoo's POV

I giggled even harder at my phone, sending one last fox sticker before looking up, meeting face to face with a disgusted looking Niki.

I rolled my eyes. "What?"

"You're asking me 'what' when you're the one squealing at your phone like a crazy uncle," Niki scoffed and I gasped.

"Uncle? Boy, what do you take me for?" I exclaimed, earning a few heads that turned to face us in the quiet canteen.

"A crazy old uncle," he joked and I swatted him with my textbook.

"I'm 21!" I shrieked and Niki started laughing so hard I could see tears forming in his eyes.

Then he calmed down and gazed at me, something flashing in his eyes while his wide smirk faltered into a soft smile. I didn't break eye contact with him, and butterflies erupted in my stomach when he widened the smile a bit more.

I didn't want to look away for some reason. Those comforting look in his eyes made me feel some sort of warmth, and I liked it. A lot.

He looked away first though, and I blinked out of the trance as well, and suddenly, everything became real awkward.

"So.." I started, "have you asked out anyone for the Winter Fling?"

He shook his head. "I might be flying solo at this point but.." his gaze met a tiny fraction of mine, "I hope maybe I still have a chance with the one I want to go with."

Something prompted me to ask, "And what if that doesn't happen?"

Niki shrugged. "Good for him, I guess. I'll let him be with who he wants. I heard the Winter Fling can be a..major step forward," he trailed off at the last bit, and my breathing slowed realising how Sunghoon asking me to the Winter Fling could mean what it meant.

Suddenly, I saw Sunghoon entering the canteen with his friends, which included Jungwon and Heeseung, and my eyes lit up.

"For the hundredth time, N-O! Do you not understand English, Park Jongseong?" Jungwon was yelling as they sat down, and I looked over at the two with an amused look.

"Please? Only this once! You won't see me again next year, kitty!" My eyebrows shot up at the nickname, and I spotted a pink hue reaching Jungwon's cheeks.

"And I already told you I'm not going to be spending my night at a damn party because I'd rather stay at home, binge watch my k drama and forget about problems like you," Jungwon retorted and a hurt expression filled up Jay's eyes.

But they disappeared in a flash, and he gave Jungwon a teasing smile instead. "So you want me to be with you at home then? Okay, I can do that!"

Jungwon palmed his forehead, giving out a loud, smack!

The two continued bickering and I chuckled softly. They really should get together soon.

I was busy daydreaming about how I would look together with my partner, and my mind kept on wandering to a tall, dark haired male with the face of a model and ice prince vibes. I blushed to myself.

And as if I couldn't get any redder, Sunghoon came up to me, tapping me on my shoulder and causing my to jump in my seat.

I turned to face him, my face already dark crimson when he smiled down at me.

"Hey," he greeted and I let out a small laugh while greeting him back.

"Winter Fling is in 5 days," he told me as he took the empty seat next to mine, and my heart fluttered when our arms brushed each other.
