Chapter 5: Merging Worlds Part 2

[Wonho's POV]

I woke up to the noise the whole class was making. I realized that I fell asleep again but I don't how long it was. The headache had finally subsided. I guess the nap worked well. I heard the chair beside me move.

Changkyun...

The noise grew louder which irritated me. I glanced at the quiet person beside me, watching the people inside our room as they walked to and fro.

"Hey."

He flinched when I suddenly spoke to him. He always gets surprised every time that I try to speak to him. I wanted to start a conversation with him but I can't think of any topic to talk with him. The noise got me so irritated that I wanted to shut my world from theirs.

"Can I borrow your earphones?"

He quickly shuffled his bag, looking for the item I wanted to borrow from him. It didn't take him so long to find the earphones.

"Here."

He handed over his earphones to me. I intentionally let my palm brush against his to know what would the feeling be if we actually held hands.

It's soft.

After I got the earphones, I plugged it on my phone. The notifications said that I had two messages from my father. It was the ones that I ignored earlier. I swiped it off the screen and tapped on the music icon. I don't have much songs in my phone so I just scrolled through it without actually picking a song I'd like to hear. I saw my seatmate adjusting his position slowly at the corner of my eye. I think he's peeking on my phone.

"What?"

I asked him, referring to what he was doing with the sudden shift of his seat earlier. He looked surprised and got to sitting properly this time, focusing on the notebook in front of him

"N-Nothing."

I smiled sheepishly with the way he showed his embarrassment. He looked so cute. He opened the notebook in front of him and pretended to write something. I looked at him a little longer before I got back to my phone.

Cutie.

I plugged the earphones in my ears, and closed my eyes. I wasn't really listening to any music. I just listened to my heartbeat that drummed uncontrollably.

"Okay class, please settle down."

I still heard Mr. Yoo spoke in front even through the earphones. Everyone went quite. The only thing that can be heard was murmuring and the sound of chairs being dragged.

He's looking...

I continued nodding to the sound of my heart as I felt someone was watching me. I could tell it was Changkyun with the way his chair shifted its direction a bit towards mine. My heart raced faster than before.

"Mr. Im! Can you tell Hoseok to please pay attention?"

I heard Mr. Yoo called him. I think he's going to tell something important since he wants everyone's attention.

"Mr. Im?"

"Y-Yes?"

I almost laughed with the way his voice cracked.

"Can you tell Hoseok to pay attention?"

A little while after, he tapped my shoulder. I removed one of the earphones from my ears and looked at him, our eyes meeting.

"What?"

I asked him even though I knew what it was for.

His eyes reminded me of a peaceful night sky...

He pointed a finger to the person front. I looked at the direction where he was pointing. Mr. Yoo was waving at me, mouthing the word "Listen" as he brought his hand to his ear, his gesture says that I have to remove the earphones. I removed the other earphone and unplugged it on my phone. Mr. Yoo continued, my seatmate focusing on him as he talked. I reached for a post-it note under my desk and wrote something.

"Thank you :) -Hoseok"

I rolled the wire neatly so it won't get tangled if he wants to use it and stuck the sticky part of the note around the wire. I placed it on his desk and listened to the person in front. I saw him glance at me. He removed the note from the wire and read it. He stared at it for long, I guessed he read it countless times inside his head. I slightly tilted my head so I can see his face. My heart started to beat faster again as my eyes caught his lips slowly forming a smile.

He's smiling...

I quickly averted my eyes on him and looked at the person talking in front when he started to move. He kept the note in his pocket and his earphones in his bag.

The note...

He glanced at me once more before he continued listening to the person in front.

If you only knew what that smiley meant to me...
