INTROVERT

17.

"Joohyun-ah." He calls, turning his attention from the sky to her.

They're at the rooftop, because Jimin kept on nagging about how boring the class is and wanted to go somewhere else. So they ended up here.

Joohyun turns her head to face him. Her lips are still attached to the straw, drinking the milk. "Hm?"

He stares at her without saying anything. She can feels the warmth starts crawling to her cheeks, so she looks away.

He smiles at her action. She's easily shy, and he finds it cute.

"You're so cute," he admits, ruffling her hair.

"Oh, please stop calling me cute. I don't like being called cute." She groans.

He smiles. "But that's the truth. Look, you're petite, you have a small face, you always tie your hair into this little bun. You're easily shy too. How can you not call it cute?"

She curls her lips, slightly touching her tiny bun. "Alright, alright. Thanks for the detail Jimin-ssi, you know me so well."

He let a chuckle escapes through his mouth.

"Anyway, it's two months before your birthday. Do you have something that you really want?" He speaks again.

She chuckles. "Do you want to get it for me?"

He nods confidently. "Why not?"

"Ah it's okay. I don't have something that I really want. Beside, we barely know each other right? It's only been a week. You don't need to buy a gift for me."

"It's exactly 13 days since i started texting you, not a week!" He glares at her, pretending to be mad.

She laughs. "Okay 13 days." She fixes.

"Please smile more." He suddenly says.

She turns to him, confused. "Huh?"

"You don't know how beautiful a girl is when she smiles. And you rarely do that. So please smile more. You know what? A smile of a girl can maybe takes a guy under her spell."

She laughs nervously, feeling shy. "You're cheesier in real life huh,"

"I'm telling the truth! You idiot." He ruffles her hair once again, mocking.

"Okay stop it!" She scowls. "But you can't smile without a reason, can you?"

"You can't. But i'll be a reason for you to do so." He winks playfully.

Her cheeks heat up even more. She doesn't reply back. Instead, she looks away, trying to hide her shyness from him.

The bell rings, and they come back to the class.
