Mixed blessings 【Lee Hooni x Reader】

First encounters

Sitting from across the class was a beautiful young girl named Y/n. She got good grades in almost every class she was placed in and is even an honor student. Her beauty was immeasurable, no other girl could even compare to her. She was able to get the attention of any guy without having to say a word.

Now contrast that to another student in the same class.

Lee Hoon, a shy boy who wouldn't dare socialize with anyone else. He had dark messy hair and bruises from all the beatings he gets. Some days he wouldn't even come to school at times and because of that his grades suffered. Sure he has a few friends but he only ever really talks to them after school. Jaehoon is one example of a "friend" who only talks to him after school.

Hooni sits in middle of the third row, right next to Jaehoon. Y/n sits in the first desk of the first row, right next to the door. She doesn't even pass by him in the halls, what chance does he have to ever getting a girl like her. He sighs and looks down to check his phone. No new notifications huh? Figures. Hooni lifts his head to look out the window and daydreams about what his life could have been if his mother was still alive. He smiles thinking of how he'd have Tonkatsu with some-

"Alright everyone!"

Ugh he couldn't even finish his daydream. Reluctantly, Hooni turned his head to the podium where his teacher stood.

"As you all know," he began "midterms will be starting next week and expect each and every one of you to study their hardest," he pauses and scans the room. He's eyes landed on the frail Hooni. He continues saying, "I will be keeping an eye on all of you, got it?" Hooni shifted nervously in seat. He knows he rarely, if ever, passes the midterms but give him a break!

The teacher finally breaks away from Hooni and looks over to the class in general.

"Now class dismissed!"

The class the erupts into noise, everyone packing up and simultaneously talking to one-another. Hooni nervously looks over to Jaehoon. He wonders if he'll by and help him study. I mean he even bought some juice yesterday just so nobody would have to bring their own. He decided that he might as well ask right?

"Um,,,do you want to-"

"Excuse me" a soft voice spoke from in front of the two boys. Both boys look up to see the prettiest girl in class standing right in front of them.

Jaehoon wasn't phased by her good looks, after all relationships are just a waste of time; a distraction from his ultimate goal. Hooni, on the other hand, was visibly shaken. His face went completely red and his hands started to tremble as soon she made her presence aware to him. He didn't even expect her to know of this desks existence!

"Um you're Jaehoon, right?" Her voice was like a million harps playing at once. Hooni just couldn't get over how she could just be so cute and get away with it.

"Yes" Jaehoon answered quite formally.

Y/n's face lit up, "oh good! I just wanted to ask if we can study together? You see all my friends already have partners and-"

"I'm sorry but I already have a partner"

Hooni looks at Jaehoon with a mix of shock and flattery. Shock because he just turned down an offer most boys wouldn't even think twice about and flattery because he just turned down an offer most boys wouldn't even think twice about!

"Oh.. well," she frowned a bit, "then I hope you two pass with flying colors!" She then says with up most positivity. It never ceases to amaze Hooni how even when things don't go her way she still remains positive.

"I wonder why she came to us first" Jaehoon says snapping Hooni out of senses. "Huh?"

Jaehoon shakes his head dismissively and packs up. Hooni follows suit and leaves with Jaehoon.
