Haechan's POV

"Just make a move, Toothless."

I didn't get to focus in class because of what JiEun said. I don't care, I don't even listen in class. I'm just shocked why I always pass.

I like Serim, yeah. She's just pretending that she doesn't like me. She's also obvious. Very obvious. I started liking her when she explained the story behind JiEun's sickness. She's a very supportive friend to JiEun.

"Hey, you were so noisy earlier. What happened to you?" Mark asked. "Nothing. Pikachu clouded my mind." I said. "Don't tell me--"

"Of course, I don't like her. She's just my friend, okay? I just care about her. She's like my little sister." I immediately replied. "And you know I like Serim." I felt a blush in my cheeks.

"Oh, Donghyuck's--" I slapped his back and we just walked our way towards the cafeteria. "Hey!" Mark and I looked behind us and saw Jaemin and JiEun. JiEun winked at me. Ugh, I seriously hate it when she teases me when I'm with Mark.

"What's wrong with her?" Mark asked. "Nothing. She's just insane. Gotta tell Nana to keep his girlfriend." We continued walking to the cafeteria and we finally reached it.

We gathered in a table in the cafeteria. "I'm going to buy our snacks today." Jaemin said. "Are you sure?" JiEun asked him. "Yeah." Jaemin smiled and winked at her before going to the counter.

They're so cheesy, oh my god. My eyes diverted to Serim and I caught her looking at me. When we made eye contact, she immediately looked away, making me smirk.

Jaemin arrived with our snacks and I took the large fries. Jaemin didn't say anything. "Wow, is this really for me? Thank you, Nana!" I said and ate the fries he brought for me. "Be thankful I'm happy."

"You're always happy." All of us said in unison. "See?" I said and I laughed really loud. The other students looked at our table. Someone threw a fry in my mouth making me munch on it and stopped making me laugh.

"To whoever threw that in my mouth, thank you." I said. Serim dipped her fry in a sauce. "You're welcome." Her face is as red as the ketchup she dipped with fries. My eyes looked at her mouth. She opened it and ate the fries.

Jesus, what is wrong with me? I looked around so I can stop staring at her. We emptied the snacks Jaemin bought for us and the bell finally rang. "Thank you again, Nana!" I said and ran my way to the classroom.

Should I really make a move?

•••

Our teacher dismissed us and we can finally go home. Our friends left the room, especially the lovebirds. Renjun still have to meet Althea in a cafe near the school.

Serim and I are the only people left in the room. She wore her bag and is going to leave the room but I spoke. "Serim." She stopped in her tracks and her face became red. This girl..

"What?" She looked at me with an annoyed expression. I know she's just kidding. "Let's talk." She dropped her bag in her chair and sat on the teacher's desk.

"Speak."

"You know that I know you like me, right?" She raised her brow. "What?" I rolled my eyes and took a step. "You like me, right?" I asked.

Her face reddened. "W-What?" I smirked and took another step. "Just tell me you like me." I said. "What do you m-mean? I don't like you, idiot." She looked away.
