"What are you looking at?"

She kept on looking at Grace to make eye contact, since she didn't want to ask Felix. Her gaze switched between the saltshaker and Grace, but Grace didn't look her way even once, so she looked at Felix, who thought that she had been eyeballing him. Just when he was about to speak up, Seoyun started talking: "Hey Grace, could you pass me the salt?" She asked with an extended hand. "Oh, sure." Grace said and took the salt to give it to Seoyun.
Felix watched her pass on the salt, eyes widening as he shook his head at himself internally.

Thank god I didn't get to speak up.

Everyone bid goodbye to the teachers before going back home with their exchange partners. Grace and Seoyun waited for Grace' parents to pick them up, but right then Grace screamed someone's name. "Felix! Come here we can take you two home!" she yelled as she waved at them with her hand in the air. "No it's okay we can walk!" He yelled back from the other side of the road. Seungmin just looked at Seoyun with a pleading look, probably because he didn't want to walk all the way home. After a long while of Grace and Felix discussing, Grace' father arrived. He rolled down the window, telling Felix that it was already late and that the two should just get in the car. Felix thought that they would end up in the car one way or another, so the both of them entered. While driving Felix and Seungmin home, Seoyun almost fell asleep as she had her head leaned against the window.

"Seoyun?" Seungmin whispered, making her eyes flutter open. "We are leaving, good night." He smiled. Seoyun smiled back, waving at him sleepily. They went out of the car, thanking Grace' dad. After closing the door, her dad drove them home. "You're quite tired, huh?" Her dad laughed. Seoyun smiled and nodded. "How was your first day?" He asked as they got out of the car. "It was really fun, everyone here is really friendly." She answered. "I'm glad you like it." The father smiled. They walked to the front door and opened it. Saying good night, their ways parted.

The alarm clock ripped Seoyun out of her sleep. She sat up and turned it off, staying in that position for a few minutes before she finally got out of the bed. Putting on her clothes, the mother called Grace and her for breakfast. She walked to kitchen, greeting the parents. "How did you sleep, dear?" Her host mother asked while pouring hot water into a cup. "I slept well, thank you." Seoyun smiled. Soon enough, Grace joined them as well, sitting down while yawning.
"Have you packed your bag?" Grace asked, to which Seoyun nodded. "We are going to the Opera House, you know it, right?" Grace asked. "Of course!" Seoyun said excitedly.

After finishing their breakfast, they took their bags and went out of the house, being greeted by the sun. "We are going to meet up with the whole group at the bus stop, there will be a bus waiting for us which will bring us there." Grace explained. They walked while talking, getting to know each other better. "Grace" Seoyun started. "Hm?" Grace answered, looking at her.
"You are breathtaking." Seoyun complimented her. Grace put a hand onto her chest, blushing as she thanked Seoyun multiple times.
Soon enough, the big group as well as the bus were in sight, including Seungmin.
"Good morning." Seungmin smiled. "Good morning to you too." she smiled back.
"Okay students, you can get into the bus now!"
the teacher said. Seoyun and Seungmin stayed behind, trying not to be a part of the mess that the students caused as they tried to get in as fast as possible. They got inside at the end as well and aimed for the two seats in the back.
As Seoyun walked through the small space, she passed Felix' seat, looking at him as he did the same.

Why did that make me feel butterflies in my stomach?
-
"Rock, paper, scissors.. hah! You're such a loser." Seungmin said after winning for the fifth time, balling his hand into a fist victoriously. "We are there!" The teacher said. Everyone stood up, ready to leave the bus. As everyone had got out, the teachers made a few announcements. "As you can see, this is the famous Opera House. From now on, you'll have exactly two hours of free time before we'll meet here again, okay? Have fun!" The Australian teacher said, dismissing the students.
Seungmin and Seoyun immediately went to the fence of the harbour, mesmerized by the view.
"Hey, Seoyun. Go there." Seungmin pointed at a spot while taking out his camera. She did as he said and excitedly posed for the picture with the widest smile she had ever shown.

"Felix, are you still living? What are you looking at?" Grace asked him, confused by his sudden quietness. She followed his gaze, which stopped at... Seoyun?

"Oh my god Felix!" She yelled, smiling like crazy as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"What? What is it?" Felix said. "You are staring at Seoyun, I see." She smirked sheepishly.
"No, what?" He said, trying to hide it.
"Felix, I'm not stupid. Besides, she's breathtaking, right?" Grace teased him.
Suddenly, someone yelled her name.
"Grace!" Seoyun said, making a gesture with which she signalized Grace to come over to her. Grace winked at Felix before telling him to come with her. She jogged towards Seungmin and Seoyun, asking what the matter was. "Do you like taking pictures?" Seoyun asked her. "Oh hell yes!" Grace said.
"Then pose, I'll take pictures of you two." Seungmin said before raising his camera to take photos. As Grace and Seoyun got into a hugging position, Seungmin started taking endless shots of them, while Felix stood next to him, smiling at their happiness.

"Does anyone want ice cream?" Seoyun asked as the four of them walked around together.
"Oh, I do!" Grace said. "There's an ice cream shop near us." Grace informed them before leading them there.
Grace and Seoyun stood in line, while Felix and Seungmin stood outside of the shop.
Suddenly, Seoyun hastened out, towards Felix and Seungmin. "Seungmin, I'll get you a mint chocolate, which one do you want, Felix?" Seoyun asked. "Oh, I don't want ice cream, thanks." He said. "Are you sure?" She asked. "Yeah." He laughed. "Okay." She shrugged, getting back inside.
"Felix doesn't want ice cream." Seoyun told Grace. "Really? He normally loves ice cream."
She furrowed her brows. "Anyways, what do you want to do next? Oh-" Grace said as she looked at her watch. "We'll need to return after buying ice cream." Grace pouted. "Really? Whew, the time literally flew by." Seoyun said.
