Are You Falling in Love? Pt. 2 - Sae-byeok

Sae-byeok pov- 

I'm not going to admit it, the feelings growing inside. That warm, unknown feeling growing inside, and I will continue to ignore the feeling of needing to push it down, or occasionally the feeling of needing to act on it. But it's hard. 

Her eyes, they are so soft... Her presence just fills a room, like an explosion of pure joy. Like when she laughs, or smiles, or does that think when she plays with her necklace because she is nervous. It feels wrong to notice too much about her, but I can't help it, I'm infatuated. 

I have always been a more reserved person, I don't like making new friends or talking to new people. I find no interest in love. I hadn't found any interest in love. I didn't think I could. 

I walk into my Biology class and am quick to grab a seat, the rest of the class soon comes flooding in, laughter, chatter, it all ends quickly the second the teacher writes the words 'New Assignment' on the board and quickly that laughter turns into silent panic for most people. "Ok everyone, congratulations on completing your last assignment however the school year is not over yet, not even close. So by saying that you have your new assignment. This will be done in partners and it is a take-home assignment so please work well with each other and divide the work evenly" Our teacher tells us. She proceeds to go through the whole assignment while everyone quietly decides who their partner is going to be. Which friend will go with who blah blah blah. 

"Now I will be picking your partners so you can begin" And with those words the class echos with annoyed huffs and groans as they all slouch back into their seats. This is the part that makes me anxious, who the hell am I going to get and how am I going to be able to work with them outside of class?

"Sae-byeok! You will be with... Y/n. You two are doing symbiosis" The teacher says as she continues reading the other partners from her list. My heart speeds up, I can feel it in my chest, I can hear it. She's looking at me now, picking her stuff up and... Omg she's walking over! I need to do something, say something but I feel frozen, I'm just staring at her like an idiot. 

"Sae-byeok right? I don't think I've actually been able to introduce myself" She says with a soft smile on her face, my heart feels like it's about to explode. Say. something. "It- it's nice to meet you" WHAT!? 

She lets out a giggle before sitting down next to me. "So I'm thinking because we have symbiosis we could look into the relation between bees and flowers. And how they have a mutual relationship" She has already opened her laptop searching for stuff to show me. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. "That sounds like a great idea. We can look into the benefits both organisms have" I agree with her, opening my own laptop.

By the end of the lesson, we have found a few study periods we have at the same time so we can work on the assignment more. The bell chimes and she waves me goodbye before leaving the class. I need to tell Ji-yeong everything!

I rush out of the classroom and to my locker, shoving everything inside before speedwalking out to our spot on the oval. I nervously nibble at a chip while I wait for her to show up. 

"I don't think you have ever made it out here this early. You normally take like 10 years at your locker" She jokes, i throw a chip in my mouth and roll my eyes, trying to settle my nerves. I know I want to tell her about everything but I don't want her to think I'm some softy. "Shut up," I reply to her, scanning the oval I finally spot Y/n and I can't help but stare. Y/n gives me a soft smile and suddenly it feels like I can't breathe anymore, I give her a small wave back. Play it cool.

"You finally talked to her?" Ji-Yeong practically yells I try to stay calm but I can't hide my excitement. "Mhm, in our biology class... well we got paired together for an assignment so I kinda had to but," I say softly, I keep thinking about that lesson. Trying to remember if I could pick up on any type of vibe, maybe she wants to be friends. Maybe I was too cold, what if she thinks I don't like her!? no, it's ok. And god I hope I looked ok. Was my hair messed up? no right?

"You're crushing hard aren't you" Ji-yeong laughs and I'm instantly snapped out of my thoughts. "I wouldn't say that" I shrug, playing it cool. However, my eyes follow Y/n as she goes and sits down with the rest of her friends, laughing, and talking. "Then what would you say?" God, why is she interrogating me? "I would say... that I think she's pretty" I smile as I keep looking at her... oh shit. My eyes widen and my head snaps back to Ji-yeong. "Cool. She's pretty cool." I try to save myself. 

God, I don't know what I'm going to do, and it sounds stupid to say but... I think I'm falling for this girl. And falling hard.
