Falling For A Star

Chapter 02

Yuna found herself staring at Inoo more and more. It has been a month since she first met the beautiful boy and she's getting more curious about him as days passed by. Yes, she's seen plenty of attractive boys in her country and Inoo's pretty face is not new to her but she can't pinpoint why she's so drawn to this idol. Abby will tease her for sure once she knows about this.

Her thoughts were cut off by the screams of the three fangirls of the class next to theirs. "Kyaaa Inoo-chan! Good morning! We love you!"

Aki, Bev and Cath are the proud ichibanners of Inoo. Everytime he is in the class, the three would never miss greeting him good morning.

Inoo smiled and waved back at them while putting his bag on his seat. Yuna unconsciously smiled to herself while watching Inoo. She really finds his awkward and shy reaction cute.

Her smile switched back to her usual straight face when Inoo turned to her. "Good morning, Yuna."

"Morning."

"Did I miss a lot yesterday?"

Inoo wasn't able to attend class yesterday because of some guestings and interviews. It must be really hard to joggle work and studies at the same time and Yuna admire him for that.

"No." But Yuna's hand seemed like had a mind of its own because she handed her notebook to Inoo before she could even protest. "But I have the notes. You can copy it if you want."

Inoo beamed. "Thank you! I owe you one."

Yuna flinched a little when she felt volts of electricity when their fingers brushed. She felt relieved that Inoo didn't notice it.

He started browsing through the pages of the notebook. "You have a really pretty handwriting. Mine sucks."

Yuna blushed a little. Most of her classmates in her previous school already told her that but why does it sound special when Inoo said it?

"T-thanks."

Inoo took out his notebook and pen and started copying. He really has nice hands. Yuna wondered to herself how must it feel like holding it. Wait, why the hell is she wondering that?

"Isn't it hard?" She asked to divert her attention from those silly thoughts.

"Hm? What is?" Inoo stopped writing and looked at Yuna.

Maybe she should've just continue being silent because Inoo looking at her just made her more nervous.

"Studying and being an idol at the same time. It must be hard doing two things at once."

"Hm, it's a little hard but I really wanted to finish college. Being an idol is fun but it's not forever."

"I think you're amazing." Yuna wanted to bite her tongue. The words just came out unexpectedly. "I mean, what you do is amazing. I honestly can't do what you're doing, so yeah..." And let out an uneasy laugh.

"I think you're amazing as well. Being away from your family to study abroad is also hard. It must be hard adjusting to everything."

"Yeah, and it's hard not being noticed by your friends."

Inoo and Yuna stopped staring at each other and went back to their own business when they heard Abby. But it's too late now.

"Hey, hi." The embarrassed Yuna greeted her.

Abby folded her arms over her chest. "Go on, don't mind me. Just continue gazing at each other like no one else is here, it's not like my existence matters anyway."

She didn't even realize she was already staring at him and that made her more embarrassed than she already is.

"I'm really sorry, Abby."

"Yeah, yeah I understand. Can't blame you though. I'd probably stare at Chinen the same way when I see him in person."

Yuna glanced at Inoo who's now watching Abby and her with delight.

"You two are cute."

"Waaah, did I hear that right? Inoo-chan said I'm cute. Eeeeh, stop. I don't want to cheat on Chinen." Abby giggled.

Yuna shook her head. "She's hopeless. Let's just study." She said to Inoo.

She took out her notebook and just decided to finish her sketch. She was so engrossed with sketching she didn't even notice the boy that is also engrossed in secretly sketching her.
