"quit staring at ara would you, it's kind of creepy," yohan whispered jokingly to sihun. sihun immediately turned away and slapped yohan on the arm.

"chill, i'm just kiddding," yohan chuckled as he placed his arms around the flustered boy.

sihun and yohan were the best of friends but their personalities were two worlds apart. yohan was a social butterfly that could strike a conversation with almost anyone. sihun, on the other hand, prefers to be in solitude and spends most of his time either studying or reading.

yohan knew that sihun had a major crush on lee ara, a quiet girl in their class who had a similar personality to sihun. ara was a nice girl but she was just too soft-spoken and would never take the initiative to approach anybody first. ara was just the type of girl sihun liked, she was someone that would be willing to spend the whole day at the library with him.

sihun and yohan were currently studying at the library and sihun couldn't stop staring at ara who was seated two tables away alone.

"just go get her, stop being such a puss!" yohan teased sihun again.

"shut up! stop being so obvious," sihun says as he shook yohan's arm off him.

"whatever. if you're not gonna' be a man and confess to her, i'll do it," yohan says, cocking his eyebrow at sihun.

"what!? you're going to confess to ara!? since when did you like her?" sihun's eyes widened.

"no you dumbass! i'm going to help you confess to her," yohan rolled his eyes as he got up from his seat.

"don't do anything stupid!" sihun whisper-shouted anxiously to yohan who was walking away from him.

yohan simply put up an okay sign as he walked over to ara's table.

sihun mentally face-palmed himself as he burried his head in his hands, embarrassed.

he saw yohan talking to ara for a short moment before coming back to their seat.

"what did you say?" sihun asked as he stole a glance at ara who was studying.

"i asked if we could join her at the table because the air condition here was too cold. and she said okay," yohan wriggled his eyebrows at sihun.

"that's so lame! i'm not going to go there," sihun says as he turned away from yohan.

"whatever suits you, i'm heading over anyway and i'm gonna' talk to her. if she ends up falling for me instead then..." yohan trails off as sihun glared at him.

"you asshole..." sihun mumbled, causing yohan to chuckle in victory.

the two of them then made their way over to ara's table. yohan took the seat diagonally across ara so sihun could only choose to sit across or beside her. sihun mentally cursed at yohan before sitting down across ara.

she looked up at him and when their eyes met, sihun could feel his ears, cheeks and his whole face burning. she smiled at him and he returned the smile awkwardly.

"yah sihun-ah, look at how cold you are, your ears are all red!" yohan says as he reached over to rub sihun's ears. sihun smacked his hand away, as yohan was stifling down his laughter.

not long after the two of them went over to ara's table, yohan spun an excuse and left, leaving a very anxious sihun alone with ara.

sihun couldn't focus on his work at all, he occasionally stole glances at the girl in front of him but he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth to talk to her.

just go get her, stop being such a puss.

yohan's voice echoed in his head.

yohan was right, he wouldn't even be able to get to know ara better if he didn't even dare to open his mouth to talk to her.

sihun bit down on his lips as he cleared his throat softly.

"hey?" he said, looking up at ara.

she lifted her head from her books and adjusted her round spectacles, looking back at sihun.

"yeah?" she replied.

"have you done the math homework? i uh - i have been stucked at question 7 since forever," sihun says nervously.

"math homework? yeah i did it," ara replies as she start looking through her school bag.

"here," she smiled as she handed the worksheet over to sihun.

"thanks," sihun smiled back at her.

he tried looking through ara's work but he couldn't understand a thing. he wasn't even able to read anything because ara kept looking at him.

"do you get it?" she asks softly after a short while.

sihun immediately looked up as he blinked nervously.

"i uh.. don't really get it.." sihun says as he averted his eyes back to the paper.

to his surprise, ara got up from her seat and went over to sit beside sihun.

"which part do you not get?" she asks him.

sihun randomly pointed to a part of the question in response.

ara started explaining the question to sihun but sihun could only focus on her.

he stared at ara for a whole minute as she was talking until she finally looked up at him.

the two of their eyes locked, they blushed, and looked away at the exact same time, flustered.
