hyejin hastily stepped into 2-1, unaware of her surrounding. looking up, she stared blankly at the empty class. clueless, she wondered, 'where did they go??'

"you looking for hyunjin?"

she snapped towards the voice, witnessing jongho sitting by the window, already looking at her waiting for her response. she widened her eyes as she wondered, how the hell she didn't notice him there.

sheepishly, she averted her gaze to the floor as she felt heat rushing to her face. "yes.."

jongho stared at her flustered figure amusingly as a small smile played on his lips. 'cute' he thought.

"don't you have class right now?" jongho softly asked before standing up and made his way towards his seat. hyejin nervously looked up at him before uttering a reply that was enough for him to hear. "i could ask the same thing"

jongho breathed out a chuckle as the girl thought he couldn't hear that.

hyejin, taken aback by his laugh, quickly responsed louder. "our teacher called in sick so no class"

hyejin was sure she was as red as a tomato at the moment. she felt like hiding was her only mission. 

jongho slowly nodded, satisfied by her reply.

"it's p.e now. in case you couldn't tell. they are all playing sports down there" the boy briefly explained.

deep inside, he was hoping the girl would ask why was he here instead of being with the others, but jongho of course didn't know that hyejin was a whole coward.

'how come he's in the class..' hyejin slowly nodded, processing her thoughts. 'should i ask?'

she blinked. 'no hyejin. you're not even close. don't bother him!'

"uhh okay, then. i'm sorry i barged in" hyejin bowed, feeling embarrassed as ever.

jongho on the other hand, simply smiled. a bit disappointed. but it's not like they were close enough for her to be concerned about him. heck they weren't even close to acquaintance.

"i should get going. sorry for intruding" hyejin hurriedly said as she turned around to walk out when,

"hold on!"

she slowly turned around to face the senior again. she blinked.

"do you want me to pass a message to hyunjin or something?" jongho awkwardly asked. hyejin's lips parted, slightly forming an 'o', before blinking rapidly.

"uhm please tell him i want my phone back"

jongho smiled, nodding his head. "okay"

"thank you" hyejin gave him a small smile before finally stepping out of the class and head towards her own.
