The whole hall is silent after Chenle finished his song. Everyone is not making a move, still on a lingering feeling with the boy's beautiful and sweet voice. Jisung is the first one who stood up and clapped his hands.
Renjun, Haechan and Jeno followed after, and now everyone was on their feet, clapping their hands. Of course, the only person who didn't stood up is Mirae, but she clapped her hands unwillingly.
Chenle puts down the guitar and bowed in front. Krystal approached him and rubs his back. "That was a good performance, Chenle.. You did a great job.." The smaller bowed and thanked their professor.
"Thank you, Ms. Krystal.." He went back on his seat and earned praises by Haechan and Renjun. "You're really good, Chenle!" Renjun ruffs his hair. "Yeah, you have a voice of an angel.."
On the other hand, Mirae is feeling bitter. She can see how everyone adored Chenle. "Yes, he can sing.. But not that good.." she shrugs, then looks at Jisung. However, she can clearly see how Jisung couldn't take his eyes off at Chenle.
"Okay class! That was a great job, introducing yourselves with your talents.. You've shown who you really are, the way you presented yourselves.. Give yourself a round of applause!" Everyone clapped their hands.
"And because of that, I'll let you go early! Class dismissed!"
Everyone cheered and jumped on their feet. Jisung quickly picks up his bag and looks at the top aisle, and saw Chenle leaving on a fast pace. "Chenle!" he yelled. The smaller ignored him and went to the door. He was about to run to catch the boy when Mirae holds his shirt.
"Jisung! Let's eat together, hmm?" she asked softly. The boy shoved her hand away. "Sorry, need to talk to someone.." then he run away, making Mirae frustrated.
When everyone had left the hall, Henry went out of the stock room, hiding his presence from the students. "That was a magnificent show, Krystal.." he said with a big smile.
Krystal bowed and waves her hair. "The freshmen this year are all talented and good.. They are like gemstones, waiting to be sculpted into finest stones.. I really want to focus on them.. Can I, Mr. Chairman?"
Henry laughs. "Of course, you can! That was your job, silly!" Krystal laughs too. "I want you to closely watch over those two students who caught my attention.. That Jisung Park and Kim Chenle.."
"Ah, yes.. They're really exceptional, Mr. Chairman.. No worries, I'll watch over them closely.." Krystal bowed and left the hall, leaving Henry alone. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it right away.
"Hello?" he asked. After a long pause, he replied back. "You've seen the woman around the town? Good.. Search carefully, she might be living somewhere around her.. Do your best to find her, okay?"
Then he hangs up the phone. "It's been a long time searching for you, Taeyeon.." he whispered.
"Yah! Chenle-ah! Wait for me!" Jisung yelled at the hallway, but the smaller had walked faster, clearly avoiding him. Jisung took a deep breath then starts to run, and gets a hold of Chenle.
The smaller was surprised and looked back, Jisung holding his hand tightly, not planning to let him go. "Are you avoiding me?" he asked. Chenle just lowered down his head, couldn't look at Jisung's eyes.
"No, I'm not.." he softly replied. Jisung doesn't believe him. "Clearly, you are avoiding me.. Are you mad that Mirae took your seat?" The smaller is not answering.
Jisung thought of an question where he can surely caught Chenle's real emotions. He cleared his throat. "Perhaps, are you jealous?" he smirked. The smaller quickly jolted his head up, blush creeping on his face.
"I'm not jealous!" he stuttered. Jisung laughs softly. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? Will you forgive me?" Chenle looks away and crossed his arms. "I'll think about it.."
"Oh, really?" Jisung replied, with a smirk on his face. He scooped Chenle on his arms swiftly and carries him bridal style. "What are you doing?! Put me down, Jisung!" Chenle screeched, getting everyone's attention.
"I'm not gonna put you down until you forgive me, hmm?" Jisung grins. "Okay! I forgive you! Now, put me down!" he screeched. However, Jisung has other plans. He starts to run around, swaying the smaller on his arms back and forth.
Chenle was laughing happily, and so is Jisung. Everyone stares at them, watching them with a smile on their faces. Happy to see that Jisung is back on his usual happy mood. And that is because of Chenle.
