SOOBIN | 10 Things I Hate About You ✓

seven

the next morning, aera walked into school determined to at least build an acquaintance with soobin.

it wasn't because she found him adorable or anything, she just found soobin intriguing.

jeno and jaemin looked at aera concerned as she chanted motivational quotes she found on google.

"what's gotten into her?" jeno whispered to jaemin.

"i have no fucking clue," jaemin responded, his eyes gradually widening in horror at his crazy best friend.

the trio spotted soobin walking along the corridor, his head buried in a book he was reading.

"target located!" aera exclaimed softly as she clasped her hands into finger guns, hiding behind jeno's tall figure.

"i think soobin's making her go crazy," jeno whispered, his eye smile reappearing in reaction to the brunette who was busy role playing as a spy.

"alright you guys, i'm going in!" aera announced suddenly as she marched her way towards the purple-haired boy.

jeno and jaemin's eyes widened as they immediately followed suit.

"choi soobin! we are having lunch today after school whether you like it or not!" aera exclaimed at the dimpled boy.

soobin's attention from his book diverted towards the shorter figure who stood in front of him with determination burning in her eyes.

"are you really that determined to go out with me?" soobin closed his book as he took a bold step towards aera.

by then, the pair had gained the attention from their schoolmates again. the air was thin with curiosity on what would happen next.

"y-yes i am," aera stuttered as she crossed her arms.

"alright, because you like me that much, i'll go out with you!" soobin smirked at the now, flustered girl in front of him.

"for lunch! for your information, i don't like you like that," aera said defensively as a blush crept up on her face.

"okay baby, whatever you say" soobin retorted back cockily and continued walking.

soobin internally cringed to himself for not making up a better pet name. he cringed the fact that he was being flirty. ultimately, he cringed at himself for leading aera on for money.

aera, unknowing to soobin's plan, stood in shock between jeno and jaemin.

"she's going to squeal in 3 seconds, watch" jaemin whispered to jeno who could only laugh in agreement.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"i can't believe he said yes!" aera squealed as her eyes sparkled innocently.

"i told you!" jaemin ranted, earning a hi-5 from jeno.
