Riza's POV

A warm feeling slowly creeps up my face.  Wowzers, I'm a babe.

His gentle hands guide me to where my friends are seated. They were laughing and having a good time together.

"There you are, I wondered where you wentfsks." Wooyoung's words muffle with food in his mouth.

"Haha nice." His finger points down between San and I.

My hand was still in his.

I quickly pull my hand away and sit next to Wooyoung. I wasn't in the mood to talk after that encounter. Way to go, Seoho.

Just then, the school bell rings, signifying that lunch time is over.

We proceed back to our classroom and patiently wait, again, for 'Mr. Park'.

I suddenly feel plastic being placed in my grasp. I look down and see San's hand with what seems to be custard bread.

"You didn't even get a sip of water for lunch. Eat it before he gets here." He gives me those gentle eyes and that adoring smile.

My head slightly turns away, hoping to hide the fluster. Thump thump thump by heart goes. Why does he have to be so sweet and hella attractive?! I got carried away in my thoughts and forgot about the bread.

"Ahh I see." He grabs the plastic- covered bread and opens it. His hands split it in half and shoves one half in my mouth.

"You're not you when you're hungry, eat it." He once again makes that loving face; I eventually give in and munch on the bread.

As I savour the sweet taste of custard, I can sense someone staring at me. I look to my right and spot San's gaze.

"What?" My eyebrows go up, questioning his action.

"Nothing. You're just really pretty." He smiles while his hand makes it's way to my face. I, however, instinctly move my head away a bit.

"Stay still." And so I did. My cheeks and ears turn bright red, flustered again.

He wipes something off the side of my lips. Holy shmokes.

"You got custard on your lips." He finds a napkin to wipe it off and unfortunately, there was none.

So he licked it.

Well damn. My gaze turns away in embarrassment and fear that he would see the light tink of pink on my cheeks.

"Alright, class!" Seonghwa booms in the room. Tsk.

"Since it is your first day today, I'm giving you all the rest of the day to yourselves. Enjoy it." The class roars in joy of his announcement.

"Min Riza, please come see me in the teacher's lounge." He flashes a grin towards my direction and exits the room. I roll my eyes.

I gather my things and lazily follow his trail. I eventually arrive at the teacher's lounge and is greeted by the adults there.

"Good afternoon, Miss Min." They kindly greet my presence.

I flash a quick smile before proceeding to approach Seonghwa. "What do you need?"

"Well, it would be better if we privately speak in Auntie's office. It's important." Seonghwa moves to the principal's office and knocks lightly.
