Haknyeon closed his locker to be greeted by his project partner. "Yo." Hyemi greeted coldly.

Hyemi handed him a file of papers and explained
what they were for, "These are the research materials.
If you need help you can ask me. Let's meet at.." she paused to check her watch and looked back up, "lunch time. Is that good?"

Play hard to get, he thought. He snatched the
file away and looked at the materials. "Okay, but lunch time doesn't work for me." Hyemi looked at her hand
then to Haknyeon.

"Okay then let's arrange a meeting at," she checked her watch once more, "4pm?" She raised a brow and Haknyeon shook his head.

"Let's meet at 8pm then," she scoffed.

Haknyeon scrunched his face, "Why 8pm?"

"Because for some reason you can't pick a time. It seems that you're free of work besides this project from how lazily you act in your classes so, won't you cooperate? I'm trying to pass." Hyemi glared at him. Her glare was cold even by itself.

"T-then we'll do 4pm." Haknyeon agreed. He cleared his throat and looked into her eyes, "Let's meet at a cafe." With that he walked away, embarrased. Maybe playing hard to get wasn't going to win her heart.

Haknyeon went to her house around 4pm. He knocked on the door and waited for Hyemi to come out. Hyemi opened the door, bowed, then let him in. Haknyeon closed the door as he entered.

The house was comfy, not as he expecting. He thought she would have a freezer as a house and dark but a lot of light came into the building, and it was decorated with light colored furniture and items.

"You can sit on the couch, just don't get it dirty, my roommate is coming back tomorrow and if she smells your scent she will kill you," Hyemi said calmly while pouring tea and getting snacks for him.

She placed a tray down on the table in front of the couch and took out the research materials from her bag. She started going over them.

Haknyeon stared at her as she read it. He placed his head on his palm and smiled. His goal was to make her heart race but she paid no attention to him.

"Instead of staring at me, stare at your paper. You have to research this." Hyemi fixed her sight onto Haknyeon who sat there, still smiling.

"You know you're beautiful? Why don't you smile once in a while?" Haknyeon raised a brow with a smile.
Hyemi leaned in, close to his face. She smiled and made a straight face again.

"It's up to me whether I want to smile or not. I'll smile when I'm with someone worth smiling too." She got back into her position and continued reading the information.

Haknyeon was stunned. No girl had been like this to him before. His stomach turned. He knew she was going to be a challenge, a bigger challenge than anybody he had dealt with before.
