Nerdhan, despite his towering stature and immense strength, is incredibly shy when he first walks into class, a student joining classes so late into the academic year. The entire class stares, but he only quietly introduces himself, awkwardly adjusting his glasses.
Nerdhan ends up sitting next to you because the teacher expects you to help him catch up throughout the course. He softly tells you he was never academically active before and that he’ll be indebted to you for helping him. He is cute, not gonna lie… but also painfully shy, something that endears you to him even more.
Nerdhan who gets challenged by the guys in class because, first, he’s the new kid, and second why is he always sticking around you and your friends instead of socializing with everyone else? Johan effortlessly puts those bullies in their place, and you’re left awed because apparently he isn’t just a shy nerd.
Nerdhan stays late with you in the library, asking for your guidance so he can improve and learn faster. And somehow, he learns dangerously fast. Over time, whenever you say something nice or compliment him, the tips of his ears always turn red.
Nerdhan comes back home a little too happy these days. Not that his mother minds it, but this happiness feels different. She knows exactly what it is...the unmistakable happiness of a new crush.
Nerdhan who adapts to new lessons ridiculously quickly, earning praise from teachers for being hardworking and talented but every single time someone praises him, it’s you he turns to first. A silent way of thanking you. His hand reaching slightly toward your side while you remain frozen, wondering if you’re reading too much into it.
Nerdhan slowly makes more friends with your help, and soon all of you start going out together, karaoke, arcades, casual hangouts after school. Everyone notices how he always sticks close to you, earning knowing giggles from the others but somehow, it’s okay. You don’t mind. Because being around Johan feels better.
Nerdhan finally decides to tell Mira about you, and she is absolutely thrilled for him. She immediately says she’ll bring Zack along and that Johan needs to bring you over for a study session. You end up meeting both Zack and Mira and learn far too many embarrassing things about Johan but when you laugh at all the stories, the sound of your laughter alone makes Johan’s heart flutter helplessly.
Nerdhan who slowly decides to take things one step at a time, though truthfully, he has absolutely no idea how to approach any of this properly. He keeps overthinking everything, imagining scenarios in his head. So one evening, after another long study session, he nervously asks if you’d like to come over and see his dogs. His neck stretches awkwardly, eyes darting everywhere except your face and honestly, who could say no to that? And when Eden and Miro meet you, they immediately know you’re the reason Johan has been coming home smiling like an idiot lately, instantly leaping onto you in approval.
Nerdhan sometimes withdraws because he starts wondering whether you even like him that way. He worries he’s crossing boundaries so he grows distant for a few days. And during one of those moments, you corner him and bluntly tell him you don’t like him acting like this and if something is bothering him, he should just tell you.
Nerdhan who is so caught off guard by that confrontation that he blurts everything out.That he gets nervous around you. That sometimes he worries he’s pushing too much.That he thinks about you in ways he probably shouldn’t. He rambles and stumbles over his words, saying everything he’s been desperately holding back…
And somehow it all ends with ...
“Because of all this… I wonder sometimes what it would feel like to kiss you…”
Nerdhan who immediately regrets saying that. Because now, surely you’ll reject him. And worse…Now the friendship is ruined too.
Nerdhan is completely caught off guard when, instead of rejecting him…
Your hands fully grabbing his face as you crash your lips against his, and for one entire minute Johan’s brain simply stops functioning. And when the kiss finally breaks, you look at him and whisper —
“So now tell me, how did it feel? Kissing me?”
And then the two of you stand there awkwardly for exactly three seconds.
Before Johan, this time with far more confidence, cups your face gently and kisses you again. Nothing needs to be said.
Nerdhan now realizes that kissing you is dangerously addictive. Who learns that holding your hand somehow feels sweeter than anything else.
Nerdhan who is now yours.
