Cold Eyes //MX I.M

Chapter I: Alligator

Summer break is over. It only means one thing, we're going back to studying and shit. I'm in my fourth year of college. I'm nearing to graduating and I can't wait for it. It will still take me another hell of a year before it. Good thing I have Minhyuk with me.

Minhyuk is my best friend since our first day of college. No one dared to talk to me nor even smile at me back then. But then, he came. He approached me with his sunshine smile and introduced himself to me. And in that very moment, we became best friends.

Back to today, it's now 5 minutes passed our schedule. We're late again! That's why I didn't have the chance to even make my room presentable. We didn't even ate breakfast. After getting our bags, Minhyuk and I sprinted our way to our university. (We live in the same apartment by the way)

When we got there, there are no students in the corridor. Damn, we're so late! We ran through the hallway and because we're in such a rush, I bumped into an unfamiliar boy. We didn't fell or anything that happens in cliché stories. I just bumped into him.

From the moment I saw his face, I spaced out. There's something in him that made me stop and it was his cold eyes. His cold, brown eyes.

"Eunsoo-ah! Come on! We're twenty minutes late!" I heard Minhyuk shout. It stopped me from spacing out.

I mumbled a quick 'sorry' and ran with Minhyuk. When we arrived at our room, everyone is looking at us, including Prof. Kim.

"Ms. Jung, Mr. Lee, explain why you are late" Prof. Kim said making me bite my lip.

"W-we woke up l-late, Prof. Kim" I explained.

"That is not reasonable! Go to---Oh, you're here too"

I got confused to what the heck he said so I looked at him and found him looking at someone behind us. I turned around and saw the guy I bumped into.

"Please come and take a seat" Prof. Kim said as that guy sat at the vacant seat beside mine.

"Class, he is your new classmate. His name is Im Changkyun and that's all I have to say" he said as he introduced us our new classmate. Prof. Kim hates it when we introduce ourselves. He said that self introduction is only for high schools and pre-schools.

I glanced at that Changkyun guy and found his cold eyes staring at me. He looks at me like I'm some kind of a prey. Like how an alligator looks at his targeted prey. His eyes made me feel that way. He made me weak. His eyes dares me to play his game. His eyes dared me to have a staring game with him. His eyes...his cold eyes, an alligator's eyes staring and I'm the one he is targeting.

"Ms. Jung Eunsoo! Are you listening?!"

I snapped out of my thoughts and found an angry professor glaring at me.

"Y-yes s-si-sir?" I stuttered.

"Go to detention with Mr. Lee after classes. Is that clear?"he replied.

"Yes sir"

"Now take your seat"

And there, I sat beside him and played our little staring game...
