ahri

i took notes while hearing the teacher babble about our current lecture. fortunately for me, our first period is science, which is my favorite subject. other students fall asleep in this class, dunno why they do 'cause this is the most interesting subject out of all of them.

"what the..." i mutter under my breath. i notice renjun pass a piece of paper to minsoo who passes it to jeno who passes it to wonyoung.

wonyoung opens the crumpled paper and reads the contents, as she reads it, her eyes start to furrow and she whispers something to jeno who whispers it to minsoo who whispers it to renjun.

what the fuck is going on? wait. isn't the teacher seeing this? i look at her direction but she's too preoccupied in writing on the board. i sigh. good, they're not getting caught.

i resume jotting notes down on my notebook. i'll just ask wonyoung about that when it's time for break.

"what was that about?" i asked wonyoung. she tilted her head.

"what was what about?" she asked back.

"the note renjun sent you." i crossed my arms.

"oh, that. he said to meet me by the school gates tomorrow morning and i told him okay." she explained.

why would he want to meet by the school gates? what does he want? is he going to confess to her? i thought he was too much of a coward to do so? what would wonyoung think of renjun after he confesses? do--

"ahri! you're spacing out" wonyoung snapped her fingers, stopping my train of thoughts.

"but tomorrow is a saturday and there's no school in saturday, why...?" i made a thinking face. "do you know why?" i asked wonyoung, in case she knows.

"i don't know. ask him." she answered nonchalantly and shrugged her shoulders.

i uncrossed my arms, "okay. i'll see you in fourth period."

"see you later." there it is again, that feeling every time she says those words.

i run upstairs towards the fifth floor, it's mostly empty classrooms up here but this is where nct usually hangs out. i got that information when i texted sicheng the night after i visited him. thank donghyuck for his phone number.

i reach room 507. i see nct through the window in the door.

knock

knock

knock

the door opens and reveals a tall, attractive boy with thick lips and huge hands.

"lucas, who is that?" someone yelled from inside. "i don't know, hyung" 'lucas' replied, eyes on my figure. this dude sure has a deep ass voice.

"can i excuse renjun for a few minutes? i'm his classmate" the boy nodded and fetched renjun.

i could hear his friends tease him about me being his crush as he exits the room and closes the door.

"what do you want?" he spat out, probably pissed by his friends' teasing.

"you're going to confess to wonyoung, aren't you?" i asked and he looked shocked.

"how'd you--" i cut him off.

"it's best if you don't tell her that you're her secret admirer. she won't like that."

"oh right. jeno and jaemin told me that you figured it out, with their help. why didn't you tell her about me?" he put his hands on his pockets.

"didn't want her to freak out about the fact that her childhood friend who ignored her for years turned out to be her secret admirer. y'all are real jerks, you know that?" his eyes casted downwards. "i'll help you win her heart. i know her better than you now, but only if you promise me that you'll take care of her when i'm not by her side." i offered my hand for him to shake.

he took it and looked at me in the eye, "deal."
