"alright, class," the teacher clapped her hands, catching the class' attention. "today's project requires a partner for each, so you know what to do. i'll brief you the details after you're done,"

"psst, yeojin, be my partner!" _____________ whispered to her desk mate sitting on the left side. yeojin was her only option, first reason being she was nearest to her, and second..

_____________ didn't want to be partnered up with the boy sitting on her right side. park jisung. not because of a stupidly mean reason, but because she basically liked him. a crush, to be more exact. but park jisung was someone who was too good-looking for someone like her though. and kinda smart. and perfect. and talented. and sweet—

"shoot, sorry, ___________, samuel's my partner this time," she pointed to her back, where said kid was sitting. "maybe next time? why don't you ask jisung," she winked. she knew of ___________'s crush some time ago, obviously she would do such a thing to betray her.

"aish, i'm totally beating you up after class," ___________ raised her fist to her, mouthing the words before she spun around to face jisung, who was practically still clueless since he didn't have any partner yet.

"hey, jisung-ah, wanna be my partner?" with a red face and a now decomposed dignity, ___________ asked. jisung turned his attention towards her and smiled.

"sure, why not?"

'assjsjksksksaalksks, cute, i mean.. let's girit,'

"_____________-ah!" jisung caught up to her after class, tapping her shoulder. she turned around to face him.

"are you free after school? cause, you know, project and stuff," jisung asked, looking sorta nervous. he wasn't very sociable around people, but he does try his best at most times.

"yeah, sure, what time?" she smiled, feeling touched that he would come up to her to talk about their project. having a partner who's diligent in work is great. besides, jisung was known for being really productive and obviously a thoughtful student. ____________ didn't crush on him for nothing.

"around... four? at the library,"

"alright, see you later then. thanks," she waved, while jisung replied the same before they part ways to go back to their dormitory.

"jisungieee! where you going?" chenle, one year his senior, asked. "usually around this hour, you'd be crashing the bed and binge on kdramas, or play games, or prank hyuck-hyung, or— ohhhh!!" he gaped in disbelief. while crossing his arms, he nodded confidently.

"are you seeing someone?!"

jisung almost choked at his own spit. "what, no—" he tried to deny the statement, only to be ignored by the other,

"ehhhhhhh, finally, jisungie is all grown up—"

"chenle, you're getting the wrong idea—"

"—meeting a girl already and going out on dates—"

"i'm just heading to the library to do a project with someone!"

"—jaemin-hyung would be so proud of you—"

"stop it, or i'll take all your midnight snacks away—"

"—so i better tell everyone!!"

"chenle!!"

the sixteen-year-old hurried into the library, pushing the glass door open and entering inside the air-conditioned building, searching for his partner project. he spotted _____________ sitting at one of the tables, making his way towards her and raising a hand up to signal a wave. "hey,"
