You try your best not to look at your phone when it buzzes for the third time within the half hour. Another text. You mumble a quick apology to your professor who was in the midst discussing her lesson plan for the upcoming week, though she is quick to give you a knowing smile. “That’s okay! I was just finishing up anyway,” she reassures you and the other TA’s sat at the table. “I’ll let you guys go now. Thanks for coming, everyone!”
You let out a soft sigh of relief and quickly begin to pack away your things, no intentions of lingering behind. Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, Jung Jaehyun leisurely leans back in his seat and watches you with that annoying smile spread on his lips. Try as you might, you can’t avoid meeting his dark eyes on your way out.
“What’s your hurry, princess?” You’re only halfway down the hallway before you hear his deep voice by your ear, sending goosebumps down your neck. When you suddenly stop walking, you feel his chest bump against your back, which only causes the heat to rise underneath your skin. Whether it’s from annoyance or… something else, you’re not quite sure.
With a huff, you turn to face him and brace yourself to see that smile of his again. “Jaehyun. We are not friends. So please refrain from texting me, especially when you are sitting right in front of me.”
Jaehyun pouts, though the mischievous glint in his eyes remains. “I just wanted to know if you’re coming to the party tomorrow. I figured Johnny told you about it, so I’m trying to see what time so I can prepare for when you kill the mood.”
Johnny did tell you about the party that he and Jaehyun’s frat is supposed to hold the next day. But after the last party, you really aren’t sure if being at a party with alcohol and Jaehyun would really be the best choice for you. “Well then, you’ll be happy to hear that I don’t actually plan on going. I’ve got other plans.”
“Oh? With who?” Jaehyun asks. The change in his demeanor is subtle, but you notice it right away: the way his gaze hardens, the way his jaw clenches, the way his head tilts to the side-- all challenging you to say that name. You hate the immediate effect it has on you, how this time you know exactly why you feel a warmth burn through you. You hate that that’s all it takes for your resolve to slowly start crumbling away.
He doesn’t miss how you bite your lip. “I didn’t say I would be with anyone else. Not that it’s any of your business. I have to go now,” you say hastily. You go to turn on your heel when he takes hold of your wrist, his grip firm but not tight. Your mouth feels dry. “Jaehyun. My TA session is in 15 minutes.”
