"oh...may i ask why?"

"erm," minho bit his lip as he tried to think of answer. "i don't necessarily w-want to."

"is there nothing to change your mind? i'm sure jisung would benefit from your help."

"sir," minho near begged. "please please don't make me tutor him. ask anyone else. yeonseo! yeonseo i think would be a good match o-or even jungjae! just please sir...please don't ask me to do this."

the man paused for a second as he could see the desperation on his student's face.

"okay, minho." he nodded.

minho was confused as he watched the man turn to the door.

as minho followed his eyes, his stomach dropped.

"i'm sorry, jisung." mr shin spoke gently.

jisung was stood in the doorway, his books clutched to his chest as it almost looked as though there were tears in his eyes.

"is there anyone else you'd like me to ask to tutor you, or are you okay with me pairing you up with someone else?"

only then did minho realise, jisung had asked for minho specifically.

"u-um."

his heart nearly broke as he heard the tremor in jisung's voice.

"it's okay, sir." he politely shook his head "i'll erm, i'll ask someone else, it's o-okay."

"if you're sure, jisung." mr shin smiled as he knew how the boy must have been feeling. "i'll see you tomorrow in my class, if you haven't found someone by then i can always give you a few options."

the boy only nodded before taking a shaky breath. "i-i'll go now... see you then."

without sparing minho a glance, jisung quickly walked away from the room.

"well erm, sorry for that minho." mr shin awkwardly spoke as he rubbed his nape. "jisung thought you wouldn't mind tutoring him, but don't worry i won't force you to."

"s-sir i'm so sorry, but i need to apologise to him." minho hurried to the door before turning back.

"don't assign him someone else."

and with that, he hurried out of the door looking around desperately for jisung.

soon enough, minho found him walking down the empty corridor.

his heart broke as he heard a small sniffle.

"jisung!"

the younger slowly turned round, quickly wiping the tears from his eye.

"oh...hi." he mumbled as he kept his eyes to the floor and cuddled the books closer to his chest for comfort.

"jisung i'm so sorry..."

"no, it's okay, i-i shouldn't have bothered you." jisung shook his head, the polite smile he gave not quite reaching his eyes.

"y-you don't understand." minho swallowed the lump in his throat as he took a deep breath.

it was now the moment where he would tell jisung how he felt.

"w-when i'm around you my hands get all sweaty. m-my heart jumps out my chest and my stomach fills with jitters, so much so that i can barely function."

he ran a hand though his hair as he scoffed and looked at the younger.

"jisung, all you have to do is look at me and i become a flustered idiot."

slowly, he took a step forward and looked into jisung's wide and glossy eyes.

"and you want someone like that to try and teach you something as important as math?" minho attempt to joke as he anxiously waited for a response.

"you...you like me?"

there was a small silence before minho snapped out his daze and realised he had to answer.

"yes!" he cleared his throat after the over enthusiastic response. "yes i-i really like you. i have done for a while."

jisung smiled as he felt a shiver through his body.

"i...i really like you too." he admitted shyly. "i try to be all confident around you but jeongin and felix didn't even need me for lunch, i just got too flustered and needed an excuse because my confidence had ran out."

jisung smiled at the floor as he lightly kicked the ground. "you're erm, you're really cute."

"me!?" minho laughed "look at you!"

"alright alright," jisung laughed as he waved his hand in dismissal. "don't make me blush, please."

"aww~" minho cooed, trying to ignore his own racing heartbeat. "he's blushing~"

jisung pushed him back, quickly apologising though minho assured him it was alright.

"so erm, would you consider being my tutor?"

"of course!" minho quickly nodded. "i swear everything i said to mr shin was a lie...though it might take me a few lessons to stop being so giddy that you're actually talking to me."

jisung smiled "i think you're doing a pretty good job now."

the older playfully rolled his eyes as he shook his head.

"so, where do you wanna go to study?"

"anywhere," jisung shrugged "maybe we could start at the library? that way we can try not to be so shy so we don't embarrass ourselves to other people."

"in that case you could work at my lunch table," minho laughed "i'm past the point of embarrassment there. i mean chan had to speak for me today."

a small giggle came from jisung as he shrugged his shoulders.

"i found you endearing." he genuinely reassured as he looked up at minho. "so, you wanna meet tomorrow after school? help me with the newest topic?"

"of course i would." minho then took out his phone. "can i get your number?"

jisung near dropped the book from his hands as he hurried to take minho's phone.

after putting in his number, he carefully handed it back and gave minho a shy look.

"i've gotta go, like for real this time i'm not just nervous."

"sureee." minho teased though gave him a small wave. "i'll text you."

the smile on minho's face widened as he saw a light pink tint on jisung's cheeks.

"yes please," he spoke quietly "erm, bye!"

after a small wave and smile, jisung turned around and hurried out of the hallway.

a buzzing in his hand brought minho out of his celebratory dance as he lifted it to see a text from chan asking where he was.

"as if you'd believe me." minho smiled to himself as he began his way to meet up with his friends.

and let's just say, none of them did believe him till he got a text back from his so called 'unobtainable crush.'

only then did it sink in that minho would have to actually function enough to talk to his crush.

maybe, he was just a little bit out of his depth.

but knowing jisung was just as flustered when it came to speaking to him, minho thought it might just go smoothly.
