where weak-hearted Jun signed up for a horror film class on a dare but you signed up to nap
Analysis of Modern Horror Films is the easiest class for anyone who wants to knock out the required cultural credit
It’s 6 hours once a week, and class lecture consists of watching one movie and a short analysis at the end of class wow it’s literally The Easiest class for nappers and busy non-liberal art kids who just want an easy A
And that’s why you’re here, your pre-med major literally sucks the life out of you and this is the perfect time slot to take a quick nap in the back corner
Except.. it’s not that easy
The dark and cold auditorium is the perfect environment, yes, but the sound system works a bit too well, and even though you’re a heavy sleeper it sometime gets too loud you wake up 20 minutes into a nap and couldn’t go back to sleep
On such a day you usually just sit and watch the movie since there’s not enough light for you to crack open your books and study
That day “The Conjuring” was shown, and you didn’t think this movie was super scary the first time you watched it but the guy sitting 2 seats from you certainly did
For the whole ten minutes where there was silence building up to the jump scare, the guy had his hands over his eyes and both of his legs pulled towards his body
The hood of his hoodie all the way stringed up so only his nose and eyes were visible
Also it’s kind of strange because you’ve never seen anyone all the way up at the top where you sit, it’s usually just you and another (probably premed) kid napping away the hours
Anyway, you watched the guy for the whole ten or so minutes and it’s super amusing bc he flinches at every single little noise but kept watching it through the gaps between his fingers
You got curious so you move to sit next to him and you wait for the jump scare and then you just.. poke his arm when the jump scare happens
I kid you not the guy jumped so high up in his seat and, since his legs were already drawn up, almost tumbled and fell over
But you caught his shoulders like a ninja right before he fell so you technically saved him from hitting his head on the seat in front
Even though it was because of you that he fell over
The guy turns and looks at you in horror
“sorry sorry I just wanted to scare you a bit,” you mumbled an apology between quiet breaths of laughter, both surprised and impressed that he didn’t scream
But the guy, instead of getting mad, clutched your hands and in a low, shaky voice asked if you could hold his hands until the movie finishes
And you’re still laughing, but a bit taken back
Usually you find skinship bothersome, but today.. you feel kinda bad for scaring the poor guy so you agree
For another hour you sit in darkness as the boy duck his head and occasionally squeezes your hand so tight you were sure there would be marks (and there were)
At the end of class the light goes back on and as usual the professor told the class to write a reflection and turn it in at the back door
Now, this is when you expect him to let go of your hand because the movie is over and, well, you have a reflection to write
Not that you need your right hand since you’re left-handed
But you’re also not gonna play bff and stay for the aftermath to comfort him
“J-just a few more minutes,” he takes a deep breath and swallows, “please.”
Now that the lights are on and you can see his face, he’s pretty cute
aNYWay you’re not kind enough to lend a shoulder to a total stranger but he honestly looked so shaken up he might pass out if he tries to stand up
So.. you think of it like helping a small animal
“I’m Jun, by the way. What’s your name?”
Honestly there really was no need for introduction as you were sure you’d never sit here again, but you conceded, partly to calm him bc you can feel the shakiness in his voice
Then Jun apologizes, something like this is the first time you’ve meet and he looks like a total loser
But you shake your head like no no it’s fine lol
And you catch a glimpse of the quick relief that spread across his face. Wow this guy is really good looking–
“Why do you take the class if you can’t stand horror films?” You managed to ask before the blood rushes to your face
At this he seems to hesitate, clearing his throat as he regains his composure
“I did it on a dare.”
um
“Just go ahead and laugh,” Jun broke into laughter as you epically failed to hide yours
He signed up for 6 hours a week of something he hates.. bc of a dare
Is he stupid or is he stupid–
“Sorry, I just.. it’s not everyday you meet someone signing up for a class they absolutely hate on a dare. Have you attended every lecture until now?”
Jun nodded a yes and you starts feeling some sort of respect for his bravery
He said something along the line of bringing ear plugs and secretly listening to music during class but to no avail, he always ends up covering his face with muffled scream because nothing had worked until today when he held your hand
This entire time you’re talking to the guy his hand still clutches to yours, and for the first time you feel slightly bashful about that huge small fact
As the both of you finishes the reflection, you said goodbye and left first since you have another class right after this
But Jun just looks at you after you left like you’re the most peculiar human he’s ever seen
“First of all, she didn’t know who I was”
Chan looks at Jun in disbelief, his mouth stops chewing the fish cake he was having for lunch
“What do you mean?? She doesn’t know Wen Junhui astrophysics and dance double major president of the school’s track team?”
“Isn’t that better?” Jihoon chimed in, taking a sip of his dark black coffee, “a clean slate. You hate people who only only sees you for your looks anyway.”
“I don’t hate them,” Jun clarified. It’s just that he finds it hard to connect with someone on an emotional level when all they care about is his outer appearance and reputation
But Jihoon’s words gave him something to think about
So the next time he saw you in class, you were in a different corner than where you usually were, so he went over and sit himself next to you and try to strike conversation
And at first you’re like.. who are you again?—ok just joking, but seriously why are we talking again lol
But he keeps trying every time to talk to you that eventually you just gave up
Talking and being next to you makes Jun feel a bit calmer in horror film class
Even though he still jumps every now and then, and you still scare him every now and then for your own amusement
Jun doesn’t mind it though, he loves interacting with you
Your personality is quite similar to his friend Jihoon— straightforward, a bit shy and silly, extremely unbothered sometimes but can be warm and engaging once your attention is focused on something or someone
And once that someone is Jun you give him your full attention because you’ve never met someone that responds to you with so much warmth
Even when he receives full attention anyway from the stares of girls and guys alike, nothing makes him feel as important and appreciated when it’s you
Sometimes he lay awake at night, unable to fall asleep, but when he does he’d wake up in the middle of the night and his thoughts would wander to you
Jun didn’t realize he was falling for you until one afternoon at a coffee shop, when Jihoon had played him a demo of a self-composed track, Run To You, and at that moment Jun had never wanted to see anyone else so badly
And as you’re walking to your last class at 2pm in the hot afternoon, in the distance you see Jun
He’s running towards you and jumping over fences and side-stepping so many people
He’s running so fast he almost tripped over a pot of plant around the corner and you gasped because be careful!!
And he makes you laugh again and again, like that time he was drinking water and a scary scene jumps out so he choked and coughed for a good ten minutes he almost had to leave class for making so much noise
Or that time you study together for a midterm and the both of you fell asleep against a bookshelf in the library but stupid Jun’s Attack on Titan alarm went off so loUD you woke up and bumped heads against the shelf
And a few books fell down but Jun shielded you so he got hurt instead, yet he was still smiling and laughing like an idiot
the many times he unintentionally did something either dumb or cute, he makes you laugh, and you were sure you’d never laugh so much if not for Jun
Jun stops in front of you to catch his breath, eyes never once left yours
For the first time he wasn’t smiling when meeting you, instead there was something desperate in his eyes
And in yours, too, perhaps, because in that moment you had realized how much he meant to you
“I have something to say,” he started between sharp takes of breath, “even if this doesn’t reach you, I—”
You don’t say anything to that, instead you pull his collar and kiss him
Jun is like!!! he can’t believe
But he reciprocated and you two kiss for a long time dndrjkgjfkd
In the middle of the courtyard
With everyone staring
And from that day on you two are known as the campus power couple
You bring each other coffee and have lunch date with talks over quantum fields theory and the expansion of stars it’s cute [and informative] bc it’s mostly Jun talking and you smiling
And he’s smiling at you and you’re just there like “Jun please we’re already dating stop giving me heart eyes”
But he can’t stop bc you’re adorable and you rarely initiate skinship with him in public but when you initiate to hold hands his heart leaped and he’s the happiest man in the world
And he’s one of the types that will interrupt you mid-sentence to kiss you and snuggle into your neck and you have to tell him to stop bc you keep losing your train of thoughts
“No I’m listening I’m just not mentally here hehe you’re so cute”
Minghao joked that seeing you two is like seeing Jun date Jihoon bc you’re both so similar
And Jihoon is like gross but he’s nodding at you from across the table in mutual respect
「06:06 pm」Classmate!Donghyuck really wants to know your name but he gets too shy to ask. Instead, he volunteers as class president who gets reads off the attendance everyday.
