What was the meaning of 'relaxation'?

For a long time she was always focused on her studies, her humble goal to be always number one in everything.

She has the grades, the honors and the academic achievements but still something was missing.

What about her skills as a person? Her abilities?

She was contemplating all this while she was sitting in the tub, eyes glued to the white ceiling.

Her hair was up, and she was done cleaning herself.

She just didn't feel like getting out of the tub yet.

But her fingers were wrinkly already, and she decided it was high time to dry herself and dress.

It was a lazy Friday with no class.

She was alone at the house, her parents both out to work.

So what should she do?

For once in her studious life she didn't feel like opening a textbook and advancing from everyone.

That was boring, and the glares she received from being the first one to raise her hand was tiring to deal with.

Opening the front door to clear her mind, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure donning a school uniform.

His head was down, and in his hand was a book.

How odd...

Who walks around reading a book?

That was plain dangerous.

But then she studies the face, and her breath hitched at seeing the face.

It was handsome, and had gentle eyes. His mouth was small and pink. His shoulders were broad and long, and he was just walking with the elegance of a man.

Kim Seokjin.

The comedian.

Cousin of her best friend Lee Jae.

And just in time, he looked up to scan his surroundings, that soft gaze landing on Kwan's form.

He smiles before jogging over to her, backpack jumping with each hobble.

"Lovely to see you here," he says in greeting, shooting her a charming smile.

"I have no classes today."

His smile fades. He pouts.

"Awww lucky for you. I was just on my way to school." He shows the book. Ahh, so he was studying on the way.

But her brows frown.

"It's dangerous to walk around reading," she scolds. "I get that you're cramming for a test but please don't do it on the road."

He takes in her features. Black hair that reached past the shoulders, eyes that seemed to be glowing, and mouth fixed into a frown.

He nods slowly, a hint of a smile covering those pink lips.

"Your will be done." He throws in a wink.

Her response was to roll her eyes.

"Oh and can you use 'calculator' in a sentence?" he asks.

That was a weird request.

But he beat her saying "I'll calculator!"

Laughing, he walked away.

Kwan's mouth fell open.

Was that another attempt at flirting?

I heard the joke somewhere and its one of my faves
