i arrived to school with chenle the next day. for some reason, it seemed like the whole school was watching us. as we walked to our class, we noticed a couple of people giggling and whispering, pointing at us. i tapped chenle on the shoulder.

"do you know what's going on?" i asked him.

"what do you mean? is something wrong?" he asked, putting his arm around me.

"not exactly... it just seems like everyone is staring at us." i said. he let the arm that rested on my shoulder slide down to hit his side.

"oh." he looked around and saw everyone's eyes glued on us. "yeah, i see that now."

all of a sudden, a boy stood in front of us, forcing us to stop our walking abruptly.

"hey, you're sooyoung right?" the boy said, looking at me with a curious smile.

i looked at chenle, then back at the boy.

"yes, i'm sooyoung. why?" i asked.

"my friend thinks you're cute, and he wanted to ask you if you wanted to join our group chat." the boy smiled hopefully, and i glanced to chenle. he tilted his head at me.

"remember, the bet." he hummed.

"i've got this." i whispered to him, smiling. i turned back to the boy in front of us. "yeah, go ahead. here's my number." i got out a piece of paper along with a pen from the boy's hand and wrote down my telephone number. he chuckled nervously and scurried away as soon as i handed him my contact information.

"see? that wasn't such a big deal." i told chenle, as we started to walk again. "i'm a rock. no one can break me or this bet."

i smiled triumphantly at him, making myself feel so confident on the outside, but on the inside, i still felt nervous for how it would play out.

on the way home, in chenle's car, i got a text from an unknown number, realizing it was from the group chat that boy put me in.
