------------------------------------------------------------
You are currently in the art room; you decide to stay late because of your new art project. You had at least a week to get it done so you need extra time. Sure, you could have done it at home, but you would most likely not be motivated, and just procrastinate on it.
Today is also a Tuesday, which is when you have a meeting with your art club. It’s a club for students who want to do more art and participate in school art projects like murals, logo designs, etc. Initially, when you saw the club was posted, you didn’t want to join because of the amount of artwork you already had in your regular art class.
But that all went away when your friend, Seulgi dragged you into the club. So here you are now, waiting for your club manager Hyunjin, who is also in your club, to start the meeting.
The door opens, signaling that Hyunjin has arrived, so you set down your paint brush and turn around in your chair. He sets down his art supplies before sighing.
“Alright, let’s get this meeting started shall we?” He asks as you all nod, “Okay, so I have just gotten some sudden news, which is why I have brought more art supplies with me today. The newspaper committee would like us to explain the history of different art pieces around this school and would also like a demonstration of our art work” He says.
You nod, must be that they needed a new story for the school’s newspaper. “So I would like Y/N to do it for us.” Your eyes widen as everybody turns to stare at you, “Huh? Why me? Can’t you see I’m working on something right now?” You point to your art project.
“Yes, I can see Y/N, but you have barely done anything for this club, so this will be a good way to show your loyalty to us.” You scoff, “What do you mean?! I literally did the mural and worked on the logos for our football team”
"Yes, but there were other people that worked on those things too; you haven’t done anything by yourself. Now stop being so stubborn and go over to the newspaper committee. They will need this story finished up by Friday so then they can publish it”
You groan and roll your eyes before getting up. You make your way towards the door when Hyunjin speaks again. “Oh, and apparently Beomgyu is going to be the one running this story, so please be nice to him”
You tense up, Beomgyu? The boy that apparently had a crush on you, there was no way he would be running it. You sigh before opening the door and walking out.
There has been a rumor going around that the upperclassmen Choi Beomgyu had a crush on you. When Seulgi first told you, you were in disbelief, there was no way he liked you.
He barely even talked to you! Though when you went to your gym class, one day you saw Beomgyu’s eyes on you the whole time, which made you believe it a bit.
But when Valentine's Day came around, you saw him giving flowers to Park Yeji, so you were a bit disappointed, but at least he didn’t like you that much.
------------------------------------------------------------
You soon arrive at the newspaper committee's door. You take a deep breath in and out before opening it. You see them all stopping what they were doing to stare at you as you chuckle.
“Well, hello Y/N, what do you need?'' asks Miyeon, coming over to you. “Oh, um. I’m here for the school’s art history story. Hyunjin sent me over,” you say, smiling.
Her eyes widen as she looks behind you. You turn around to see what she was looking at and you see Beomgyu. His hair is brown and it is very fluffy. He has a blue vest on, and underneath is a white tee shirt paired with some white pants and white sneakers.
He is holding his camera in his hand and he smiles, “Y/N, good to see you! I can’t believe they sent you over,” he says, walking towards you. “Yeah, they said they needed me to ‘actually’ do something, so here I am,” you say awkwardly, chuckling.
Silence soon fills the room as you clear your throat. “Let’s get this done, shall we?” you ask him as he nods and you both head out of the room. You both begin to walk as you hear Beomgyu fiddle with his camera.
“So, where are we going first?” he asks, looking at you. “Oh, I was thinking we could go down the social studies hallway first.” He nods as you soon enter the hallway.
“Alright, so you see those drawings along the tops of the lockers?” he nods, “Those are the specific drawings for each class. Before the seniors graduate, they get to pick out what they want to do for their class, so they talk with the people taking an art class and they work something out. Then it gets put onto the wall along with their class number, and a lot of people get to sign their names as well.” You say.
He nods as he takes some pictures, he then gets his notepad and pen out. “So since I’m a senior, my class would get to pick what we wanted and we would have something like this?” he asks.
You chuckle, “Yes, though I don’t know where we would put it, there are a lot of years in this hallway.” He nods as he begins writing something down. “How far does it go back?” You sigh, trying to remember when it was.
“Maybe as long as this school has been? Like 1800 I think.” He nods and smiles. “Alright, where do we need to go next?” he asks. “The library, well at least the outside of the library.” He nods as you guys turn to go up the stairs.
Once you reach the area before you enter the library, you stop. “Alright, so you see the paintings along the walls?” he nods, “Those were chosen specifically for the library, they are from different books.” He nods and starts taking some pictures.
“I’m pretty sure we don’t update them often because it’s hard to get the color of the wall back where it was before, but we are working on a new one.” You motion him to follow you.
You then point to a blank space on one of the walls. “We are going to paint a new one here once we have time.” He nods and opens his notepad. “So, what are these stories or books?”
“Well, most of them tell you where they came from, but the librarian is the one who gets to pick what book to do. I’m pretty sure we are going to do Frankenstein here.” You say.
He nods and starts writing something down again. “Well then, I guess I’ll have to come up here once it’s done.” He smiles at you as you chuckle. “Yeah, we would love the feedback.”
He nods as you both stare at each other for a little. You then break eye contact and look somewhere else. “Where to next?” “We’re going to see one of the school's murals.”
You both soon arrive at the counselor's office. “Hopefully the room is empty” you say, looking at him as he nods. You open the door and turn your head to see the secretary of the office at her desk.
She smiles at you both. “Hello, you two need something?” she asks. “Well, we’re currently doing a news story about the school’s art history and we were wondering if we could use the mural in your room.” She smiles, “Of course! Go right ahead.”
You smile at her before looking at Beomgyu, motioning him to come along. You then make your way over to the wall. You stop and look at Beomgyu before looking back at the wall.
“This is one of the many murals the school has. It is specially for the counselor's office.” He nods as he takes a picture. “Did you work on this one?” he asks, looking at you as you shake your head.
“No, but I’m going to be working on another one with the people in our art club.” He nods as he takes his notepad out. “So, how do you get inspiration for these types of things?” he asks.
“Well, the people who want the mural done usually know what they want, so we just do as they have requested.” “So this one is done based on what the counselors wanted?” You nod, “Yup.”
He nods and starts writing something down. “Where’s the other one that you’re going to be working on?” he asks. “It’s going to be in the room where the police officers hang out.
You know where that is, right? The one that’s right by the art room?” He nods and writes something down again. “Alright, so where's the next stop?” “This will be our last stop, so we’re going back to the art room.”
He nods as you both thank the secretary again before walking out of the room. The walk to the art room is long since the counselor’s office was on the other side of the building compared to the art room.
You hear a click so you turn your head. “Did you just take a picture of me?” Beomgyu chuckles, “Sorry, but you’re just so pretty.” You can feel your face start to heat up.
“Well, thanks” you say as you smile at him. You then reach the art room and open the door, “Alright, I’m back and I brought-'' you stop when you realize the room is empty, huh, must be they had to go do something.
“Where did everybody go?” asks Beomgyu, looking around. “I don’t know, they must have had something else to do.” You look up at him as he nods. You then gesture Beomgyu to sit beside you, as he pulls up a stool next to you.
“So, what’s this?” he asks, looking at your painting. “This is my new art project I’m working on.” He nods while taking a picture of it. “What made you become so interested in art?” he asks as you pick up your paintbrush and dip it in paint before working on it.
“Ever since I was little, I loved to draw, so I just carried that skill with me when I got into school.” He nods, “Do you like art?” You nod, “It’s kinda like an escape for me to do whatever I want.” He nods while looking at your painting.
“You're very good at it,” he comments as you blush. "Thanks, I mean there are probably some people who are better than me in my class, but I’ll take it.” “Well, I don’t think that.” You look back at Beomgyu.
“I think you’re wonderful,” he says, giving you a small smile as your heart begins to race. “W-well thanks," you stutter, giving him a weak smile. He chuckles before putting his hand on your jaw.
Your eyes widen as you drop your paint brush. He then smirks before bringing you in for a kiss. It’s nice and soft and slow. He then pulls away as you blush. You turn away and he laughs.
“W-what the hell was that?!" You ask, looking back at him, as he is dying of laughter. “Oh, your face was too good.” He then trails off. “I like you a lot, Y/N,'' he says, grabbing your hand, which rests on your thigh. “I hope you like me as well,'' he says, smiling.
------------------------------------------------------------
Once you’re both done, you walk back to his club room. Before going back in, he looks at you. “Can I get your number?” he asks, pulling out his phone from his pocket.
“Of course,” you tell him your number as Beomgyu puts it in his contacts. “Alright, don’t be alarmed if you get a text from a random person, okay?” he asks as you nod.
“Well, I have to go. See you around, Y/N,'' he says, giving you one last peck before going into the room. You stand there for a second wondering, how could boys like him like you.
