after class hours with your study buddy, heuningkai.

its almost the end of the semester, which only means that finals is also coming.
you are walking to the library to study. its 5 in the afternoon so you expect the library to be nearly empty, but to your surprise, it's packed with students who are studying as well. you scanned the place for an empty seat when you noticed someone waving his hands towards your direction.
"y/n, over here!" it's heuningkai, your study buddy.
you jog over to where he was seated. "i thought you can't come?" you asked.
"i wouldn't miss it for the world, y/n" he replied with his signature angelic smile.
"you mean, your date didn't come?" you corrected him as you take your notes from your bag.
"ahh sometimes I just wish you're a little bit dumber." he replied propping his elbows on the table, observing you as you settle down and prepare your stuff.
"yah!" you replied acting offended.
"why? that's a compliment you know!" he playfully replied.
"whatever" you said as you roll your eyes which made him chuckle.
you can't help but admire his cuteness, to which you almost immediately repressed the thought. this man seating across you, jung heuning, is way out of your league.
he is popular with girls, and other guys admire him as well. the only reason why you became close was because he is a close friend of your cousin, soobin. more than his fallen angel slash greek god type visuals, it's his personality that made him more likeable.
he is very genuine and friendly. he knows he is very popular in school but he never allowed that to get into his head. instead, he used that opportunity to be friends with everyone. you also admire how simple and child-like he can get.
"what's the problem?" he asked breaking you off your train of thoughts.
"huh?"
"you just sighed. do you have a problem?" he asked with his eyes marked with concern.
its you. you are my problem. "i did?" you asked trying to act innocent.
"yeah. you seem... sad" he said without breaking eye contact.
that's another thing about him, he makes eye contact. when he is talking to you or whenever you are saying something, his eyes will never leave yours. it makes you feel acknowledged and special like you're the only person that exist in his world. but it also makes you feel extremely uncomfortable in the fear that his stares might bore through your thoughts.
"nah, i was running out of breath i guess." it took all your willpower to look away and find excuses to answer him.
"oh, is it because i'm in front of you? i don't blame you though." he teased airily. "i can just seat beside you if you like." he added, motioning to stand up.
you looked up at him only to be greeted by his smirking face.
"you know what? i regret thinking how down to earth you are, when you're actually a narcissistic—" you caught yourself midway realizing your mistake.
"ohhh, so you were thinking of me?" he asked smirking even more. "how sweet, y/n."
"yeah, i was thinking of ways to strangle you without getting jailed for attempted murder." that's probably the most honest thing you said.
you really want to strangle him for being too good to be true, and for the fact that you can't bring yourself to tell him how deep you have fallen for him.
"well, I think you'll get jailed anyway", he said after a brief moment of silence, "for taking my breath away everytime you smile".
