The mask / 2park

Already a strong connection

It had been a couple weeks since Jihoon had come to this college and Jihoon could say that he had make a good decision coming here.

Jihoon had become close friends with Daehwi and Jinyoung and also close with some of Daehwi's other friends. Jihoon had also noticed how Jinyoung and Daehwi acted like a couple and almost everyone on campus assumed they were dating. Jihoon has asked Daehwi about it and Daehwi just got really shy and denied it but Jihoon was a smart guy so he could tell they both liked each other in a more than just friends type of way.

Apart from his main two friends he had gotten close with Daniel and Ong too. At first it was scary to walk around with Daniel and Ong because everywhere they would go girls would crowd and many people asked Jihoon to even deliver messages and gifts to them. The most surprising part was is that Daniel or Ong wasn't ignorant or egotistical about it they would accept every gift and be thankful. They would always talk to the girls with kindness and respect smiling at them as if they were their close friends. One thing Jihoon noticed was how neither of them had a girlfriend
( A/N haha Daniel does now but again i wrote this way before i knew so sorryyy)
and anytime someone would confess they would politely decline and apologize. When asked why they would say similar things each times, "sorry I currently like someone else."

Jihoon at first had been confused to who this was but after seeing how Daniel and Ong were always side by side and how they would look at each other when they thought no one was looking he assumed he'd found out who the "secret" people that they each were crushing on.

But the thing that Jihoon found himself thinking of the most was Park woojin, the mysterious masked boy who seemed to be everywhere Jihoon went. Jihoon had never really heard the boy talk apart from when Daehwi would go and pester Woojin only getting short and quiet responses from the shy boy.

One day in class the professor had assigned partner projects and since they had an even number of students in class the professor only allowed groups of two. Jihoon saw how Daehwi and Jinyoung were already linked and he didn't want to split them up so he settled with finding another partner.

As Jihoon scanned the room a certain boy caught his eye that boy was none other than the one and only Park Woojin. Jihoon took this as his opportunity to approach and talk to the masked boy.

"Hey....um....could we be partners?" Jihoon asked feeling his heart quicken scared to be rejected by Woojin.

"Oh...um...umm..y..yeah," Woojin said taken back by the cute boy who had approached him.

"Ok! Phew! Thank you for not rejecting me I was beginning to think I would have to work alone," Jihoon replies suddenly feeling a burst of energy from Woojins response.

"Why...would I reject your offer to be my partner?" Woojin asked curious about the boys behavior.

"I don't know, maybe you thought I was like some annoying person who would just end up bothering you or something," Jihoon said rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Never judge a book by its cover right? But I might want to change my answer now...."
Woojin said making Jihoons face red with the seemingly serious insult.

"I'm kidding, on a more serious note you don't seem annoying," Woojin said slightly laughing behind the mask and his eyes crinkled from the obvious smile he had.

Jihoon saw this and all he could think was "cute" but he quickly shook the thought away.

Jihoon spent the rest of the class working with Woojin on their project. They used up most of the time talking Jihoon even managed to get Woojins number he felt accomplished in a way and couldn't wait to brag to Daehwi. Jihoon was really happy and in a good mood for the remainder of the day, well, most of the day.

Jihoons good mood was ruined when he got home to find the the fridge didn't close all the way before he left his apartment so all the food had spoiled.

"Why meeee!" Jihoon screamed as he stared at all the food that was perfectly good that morning.

One thing about Jihoon is that he loves food he tends to eat anything and everything, he never really gains weight so he doesn't worry about that. So having to dump all his precious food into the garbage made him so sad, no, devastated.

Jihoon dragged himself out of the apartment to go grocery shopping since he couldn't live peacefully without a full fridge.

When he got there he bought everything that had been previously in his fridge and some extra snacks that looked super appealing on the grocery shelf's.

When he was walking through a random isle he noticed a boy who seemed familiar but before he could get a close look the boy had been pushed by a snobby old lady and fell into a shelf knocking a bunch of boxes into the floor, Jihoon immediately went to check if the boy was ok and help him but the boxes back when he realized the boy was Woojin.

"Hey are you ok-wait Woojin?" Jihoon asked his eyes widening as he offered his hand out to Woojin.

"Oh hey Jihoon, nice seeing you here?" Woojin said accepting Jihoons hand and then turning to start placing the boxes back on the shelf.

Jihoon helped him put everything back and felt kinda angry towards the woman who so rudely knocked Woojin over, "Jeez some people can only think about themselves," Jihoons said glancing to where he last saw the lady.

"No it was probably my fault I was probably in her way or I could've accidentally bumped into her," Woojin said looking down at his hands and playing with the rings on his fingers.

"Wow, your way too nice about things," Jihoon said laughing at how careful Woojin was with his words.

Jihoon glanced down at his watch when he realized that he needed to go back to his apartment in order to complete the assignment he had put off till last moment in one of his classes.

"Ah! I have to go now, I'll see you tomorrow in class!" Jihoon said before rushing to pay then straight out of the store.

Woojin just stood still for a minute or two he couldn't quite understand Jihoon, he just seemed so happy and all over the place but Woojin kinda liked that about him. Woojin wasn't sure if he could ever trust anyone again but he was willing to get to know Jihoon more for some weird reason. He couldn't quite figure out what was it about the boy that he liked all he knew is that he felt more comfortable around him but Woojin didn't want to get used to that feeling in case things ended up like they always did. After all Woojin knew things would never go his way, they never did.
