chapter 2

At lunch, Taeyong plopped onto the seat next to Johnny. "Hey, Tae. How were classes?" Johnny asked after finishing chewing his food.

"It was the same old, same old. You?"

"I had a pop quiz in English, but that's easy, you know." He smiled. Taeyong agreed, taking out his own lunch.

"You know how you always say I have an 'uneventful life?'" Taeyong questioned. Johnny turned to him, waiting for him to continue. "I got into a small situation with one of the staff members."

"Small?"

"Yes. Well. After you left, Jennie approached me in the hall and I got distracted and he approached us and we almost got into trouble." He ended with a smile, like it was something to be proud of.

"You really do lead an uneventful life if that's what got you so happy." Johnny teased, shaking his head. "Why did Jennie talk to you?"

Taeyong felt his ears burn up at the recent memory.

"She said that she saw me staring at her in the morning, and then we talked about after school today."

"Anyone who was blind could see that you've been staring at her. Do you like her or something?"

"How could I like someone I hardly know?"

"Dude, did you actually ask that question? Theres been situations where party A crushes deeply on party B, who doesn't know that party A exists. So your arguement is invalid."

Taeyong scoffed. He was right, though. He left it at that, and began eating his sandwhich.

"Fine, but I'll take your word on it. You do not have a crush on Jennie Kim. You're just curious."

That only reminded him of when he noticed, or caught, Jennie studying him in the library. He hadn't really interacted with girls up until that point so he didn't know what her motive was for that. It added to the uncertainty of who exactly Jennie Kim was.

"But, I'm not so sure about Jennie." He heard, breaking out of his thoughts. Taeyong looked up at the older boy in confusion, seeing that he was looking out away from the table. Taeyong turned slightly in his chair and saw Jennie. She sat with her friends, but wasn't engaging in whatever they were talking about. She was staring at his and Johnny's table, namely at him. She pursed her lips together when they made eye contact, and looked down at her tray.

"That's the second time she's looked at me like that."

"When was the first time?" Johnny leaned closer, now of complete interest.

"In the library, yesterday."

"Ah, and did she have that same look just now?"

Taeyong nodded.

"Seems to me she's curious and very interested."

"Interested in what?"

"You, of course."

"Thats a bit of a reach."

"Oh come on, Tae. You're a good looking man who was bound to catch someones eye."

"But it isn't Jennie Kim's." He insisted. "Shes probably doing it because she caught me earlier." The bell rang, ending the end of lunch.

"Tell me how it goes, after school." Johnny waved at the end of school. Taeyong bid him goodbye as well, recalling the way towards the art room.

He peered into the room, to find Jennie studying the art work around the room. She noticed his presence, and approached the 4th year.

"You made it."
