The next day I went to my drawing class looking forward to have a mini lesson with Jungsoo again. I took my seat but I realized he wasn't in class til everyone was seated. I sighed to myself feeling slightly disappointed our tutor meet was tomorrow and I forgot to ask him where we should meet.
I silently sat and listened to the professor lecture about proportions and shading. I jotted a few notes down but I wasn't really paying attention it seemed like this class suddenly became boring without Jungsoo.
After class I walked down the hall o take a seat in the lobby before I go to my next class. I noticed Siwon laying on the lobby couch when I took a seat in a chair.
"hey you," I said with a smile.
He sat up, "oh hey, I wasn't napping or anything," he laughed.
"haha, I didn't see anything," I said, "say, is Jungsoo skipping today? I didn't see him..."
"uh, I honesty don't know where he went," he said, "but he'll be back around," he said with a forced grin.
"o-oh ok then well if you see him tell him that I'll meet him in the art room for our study session,"
"sure I'll pass the information along.." he said as he stood up, "I'll see ya around,"
I waved, "bye," I took out my sketch book and skimmed through the small drawings I did. I didn't really like most of them but there was always room for improvements. I looked up when I heard familiar voices coming down the hall I saw Crystal and another guy I didnt know about come down the hall.
"Crystal!" I waved at her.
She looked at me then waved bye at the other guy and came to me, "heyyy! I finally ran into you for once!"
"who was that guy?" I asked teasingly.
She laughed, "just a guy from my last class; he was nice.. So
Where's your man friend?" she said with a wink, "don't you have a study date tomorrow?"
"oh, he took a day off. And it's not a date!"
"aw, his name is Jungsoo right?"
"yeah,"
"I'm hearing his mother just recently passed, but I'm not one to pass rumors around."
"oh man, that's terrible if it's true.."
"yeah, say want to get a smoothie with me before next class?"
"well yeah of course!" I said.
-------------------
Saturday evening came and I slowly walked into the drawing classroom hoping that Jungsoo would be there. My heart lifted when I saw him sitting at a table with his back to me, it looked like he was painting something. I smiled and sneaked up behind him to take a peek.
"sorry this is for my eyes only," he said placing a cover over the mysterious artwork.
I huffed, "how did you..."
He turned and smiled at me, "your footsteps of course, now come sit over here," he said pointing to a empty chair.
I took my seat, "so, what's the lesson teacher?" I grinned.
"oh god don't call me that," he said with a shudder.
"oops I'm sorry,"
"it's fine.. It just makes me feel..awkward," he said with a small smile.
Wait awkward? How? Wait...he's being my teacher and I'm the 'student' was he referring to porn? My face became hot.
"I feel kinda old when I hear it," he laughed to himself.
Oh. Nevermind, now I feel weird for being filthy minded In The first place. Getting to caught up in my thought process I didn't realize Jungsoo tapping my arm.
"Camille?" he said.
"oops sorry my bad!" I said with a blushed face.
He continued to explain to me about proportions and using correct measurements with human figures. He even showed and guided me on drawing lightly to I wont have eraser marks.
I carefully drew the oval shipped head correctly after two attempts, then I started on the stick figure like portion for me to fill in later.
"you're doing pretty good," he stated.
I managed to draw the upper torso of a female character then finished her legs.
"now when the body is done, the creativity kicks in, you dress her the way you want,"
"hmm, maybe a cute sundress?"
He shrugged, "go for it,
I smiled at myself and drew the dress I had in mind, it was pretty fun because I had full control of the design then After the dress I drew her hair in, becoming a little unconfident of my work I covered some of with my hand but Jungsoo only moved my hand to look.
"I like it." he said simply.
"are you sure," I whined.
"yeah, just be careful of the eyes. Make sure they match, that's about it,"
That made me feel a little better cause I knew something was wrong.
"got it."
He gave me a couple more tips and tricks and before I knew its been about 2 hours.
"oh man you probably have something to do right?"
He gave a blank stare and shrugged, "no... Why assume that?"
"oh no, I just thought.."
"cause i'm the popular guy? Is that why?"
"n-no! Not at all," I said, "I'm sorry if I offended you.."
He shook his head, "no it's ok...I just feel that I automatically have these labels of a 'cool' guy just because of my looks when in reality I just--" he stopped mid sentence then looked back at me, "I'm sorry, I went a little far right there... We can meet again next Saturday,"
"oh ok. Saturday got it," I said, "thank you for helping today,"
He waved me off, "it's nothing," then He looked at the covered art he was doing.
I quietly left the room to leave him in peace. He's a....different kind of guy. Defiantly different from what I'm used to meeting. I walked back to my dorm and looked at my drawings as I walked, a smile Crept across my face as I looked at my semi terrible artwork, it's only semi terrible because Jungsoo helped me.
Then I began to think about him, he seems like a mysterious type that takes a lot to open up to. Then that's when I decided I will vow to know more and more about Jungsoo after every meeting.
