11 Paired up

"Alright class, this project requires at least two people so I'm gonna pair you guys up." Mrs. Im announced.

The class wooed excitedly. Of course there were the unbothered ones.

"Miss, will it be opposite gender pairs?" Yena raised her hands and the class laughed and the boys shouted, "yes miss, let's do those pairs."

"Honestly, guess fate will determine that, cause I'm just picking random numbers from these papers with your names written on them." She answered coolly and showed them the bits of paper.

The class groaned loudly and then she told them to quiet down.

"Alright here are the pairs I got." She started.

"Lee Chaeryeong and Choi Yeonjun"

"Yang Jeongin and Jo Yuri"

"Wang Yiren and Choi Yena"

"Kang Hyewon and Yeh Shuhua"

"Shin Yuna and Ahn Yujin"

"Choi Soobin and Kim Minju"

"Jang Wonyoung and–" Hueningkai listened attentively, gripping onto his pants hoping it would be him.

—Choi Beomgyu."

His heart dropped as the teacher paired the rest of his classmates, and him with Taehyun.

"Guess we're stuck together." Taehyun looked at the boy who couldn't even smile at that point.

From the corner of his eyes he saw Beomgyu slowly approaching Wonyoung, with nothing he could do.

But what he didn't know was that even Wonyoung was quite disappointed when she heard her partner's name.

Of course she would choose to be with one of her close friends. But if it was going to be a guy, her first pick was Hueningkai.

She realised this as Beomgyu was approaching her. Even she found it weird how the first person to ever cross her mind was Hueningkai but she chose to ignore it.

"Hey partner." Beomgyu wasted no time and sat beside her, putting his arm over her shoulder.

Hueningkai's blood boiled, he knew his best friend didn't mean any harm and was just over friendly. But this didn't stop him from shooting daggers at him from his eyes.

Wonyoung gave him the look and slapped his hand away.

"If you act all pervy I might just ask for a switch." She sassed and Beomgyu raised his hands up in a defensive form.

'That's my girl.' Hueningkai thought, then mentally slapped himself at how cringey he sounded.

Meanwhile Taehyun was just laying his head on his desk as he felt a bit sick, he really wasn't bothered by any of his surroundings.

"Sooo my house or your house?" Wonyoung went right to the point while crossing her arms

Beomgyu put his hand on his chin and pretended to think, "I wanna see your house." He just blurted which caught her a bit off guard.

'This guy's really honest isn't he?' She thought.

From a small distance, Kai, who was supposed to be discussing about his own project, chose to observe the two in hopes that he could make out what they were saying.

"Why him?" He couldn't help but wonder, maybe luck just wasn't on his side...or so he thought.

.

Hueningkai groaned as he walked towards the door. The doorbell rang and none of his family members were home at the time.

It was a Saturday so he was hoping to rest more that day.

"Who dares to disturb my evening beauty sleep?" He mumbled to himself, him and Taehyun were supposed to start on the project that day, but he didn't know he would come that early.

Still wearing his penguin pajamas, he opened the door.

"Dude, you know this is my beauty time and–"

"Hi."

"Oh. my. gosh." He covered his mouth with his hand.

There she was, his crush, whom he had been trying so hard to impress.

Wonyoung scanned him from head to toe, noticing everything from the penguin pajamas to the slippers he was wearing that weren't the same design.

She tried to hold in her laugh, "I'm guessing now's not a good time."

Hueningkai couldn't say anything, all he wanted to do was dig a hole and live there forever.
