xii. Love in the Library [Junhoe]
requested by: infinitybaby
"Okay, class! This conclude's our lesson for today. Don't forget to study extra hard for your long quiz next week." The teacher announces to the students but they were too busy packing up their stuff and leaving the school for the day.
Lee Yoonbyu stretches from her seat and looks at the table next to her. She sees her friend, Junhoe, sleeping on his crossed arms. Yoonbyu laughs at the sight, brings out her phone and inched closer to her sleeping seat mate. She aims her camera at the sleeping face of Junhoe and before she could even snap an embarrassing picture of him, his eyes opens abruptly. Yoonbyu jumps from her seat and pressed her thumb on the shutter button. She puts her hand on her chest and tries to soothe her beating heart. A loud laughs bursts out from the boy and she could only glare at him.
"That's what you get for trying to take a picture of me while sleeping!" He says in between laughs. He holds his stomach and starts slapping his table.
The girl could only pout and look away from the laughing boy, "This guy is really testing me. He's just waiting for me to snap and--," She mutters under her breath until Junhoe slings his arm around her shoulder, "Aw, don't pout! You look uglier than before." He lets out a snicker and Yoonbyu felt her blood boil. That does it!
Yoonbyu elbows Junhoe on the stomach, making the boy let out a pain groan. He lets go of the girl and falls of his chair. He rubs his stomach and scowls at the girl, "What did you do that for?!"
She gasps at the boy, offended at him. She points her finger at him and bears her teeth, "Excuse me?! You completely made fun of me because I look more ugly when I pout! And how dare you saying I look ugly! Have you looked at the mirror?!" She shifts her weight in one leg and looked away.
The boy just chuckles and stands from where fell. He dusts off his uniform and grabs on to her arms, turning her to face him. A small on his lips as he looks at her in her eyes, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," She felt herself blush: she never saw Junhoe in such close proximity before, "Besides, this is what friends do, right? I mean we only open our mouths to insult each other but that's what makes us unique." Her heart drops. There it was. Friends. That's all they will ever be.
He lets go of Yoonbyu and glances at his watch. He grabs his stuff and looked at the girl once more, "We need to go to the public library if we want to study for the long quiz." She just nods, grabs her things and followed the taller male out of the classroom.
Once they arrived in the public library, the studying commenced. While Yoonbyu was looking for books and taking down notes, Junhoe, who was across the table, was just reading a manga he found in the corner. The girl rolls her eyes and poked the boy with her pencil.
"Hey, Jun." The boy looks up and cocks an eyebrow at her, "What?" She starts tapping her notebook with the same expression, "Why don't you study? We're in a library after all."
Junhoe rolls his eyes, drops the manga and gets his writing materials from his bag. He grabs a pencil from his pencil case, and as if there were a spell, he instantly fell asleep. Yoonbyu lets out a laugh and poked him once more on his forehead.
"Idiot." She shakes her head, continuing in writing her notes. She hears a loud 'thud!' in front of her and sees the male's forehead planted on the table. She covers her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter. She didn't hear a sound from Junhoe and made her want to laugh even more. But once she calms her self down, she puts her pencil down on the table and gazed at the boy in front of her.
Ever since day one, she liked the boy. Once he approached her and befriending her in the process, she fell for him. She can't tell him. She might ruin their friendship and everything won't be normal anymore. So she chose in keeping it a secret.
She reaches her hand out to run her fingers through his black hair and played with it for a bit, "You know, Junhoe. I won't be able to hide my feelings any longer. I've liked you since day one and after that, I just kept falling for you. But of course, I won't say that when you're conscious because we're friends and once you are aware of my feelings, nothing will be normal anymore." She leans in to nuzzle her nose on his hair.
"I love you, Gu Junhoe." She pecks his head. He moves his head on his side and lets out a sigh. She jerks away from the sleeping boy and peeks at his face. He's still fast asleep and releases a sigh of relief. She continues in working on her notes like nothing has happened.
But little did she know that Junhoe was awake all this time, the corner of his lips twitch. I feel the same way, Lee Yoonbyu.
