Dohwa still thinks about Su-ae, but there’s a little kernel of anticipation in the back of his mind waiting for the day that he’ll bump into you at school. There’s coincidence in meeting someone, but it's unbelievable how it's been several weeks since you started talking to each other and he still hasn't caught a single glimpse of you.
Dohwa’s walking past the library when he sees a familiar face.
All of a sudden, the little kernel explodes into pink fluffy clouds in his mind.
You’re frowning as you pour over a textbook, a singular earbud in your right ear and pen in hand. He chuckles when you suddenly set down your pen and fling your head backwards, dragging your hands down your face.
When you straighten in your chair, your eyes happen to land on him.
He’s not so sure of approaching. He doesn't want you to be seen with him since doesn’t want to drag you into rumours of any sort.
So Dohwa smirks a little, offering a small wave.
To his delight, you wave back before making a sad face, pointing at your notes.
He notes that you’re truly focused on your academics, because despite the excitement in your face, you remain where you are 一 not like Su-ae, who might have rushed out at any excuse to get away from studying, even just for a little bit.
He wishes to keep your gazes locked together for a while longer, but there’s raucous chatter as a group of students from your year comes down the corridor. Dohwa tears his eyes away from you at last, and doesn’t yet know why his heart feels so bitter when he does.
