I just nodded and pretend like I'm studying when I don't even understand a thing.
Time passed. All of my classmates are already inside the homeroom with our teacher showing the principal's announcement on the screen.
Our teacher's eyes wandered around the classroom and stopped at Jeongin's. A wide smile shown on her face indicates how happy she is that Jeongin is her. I heard most of the teachers are expecting a lot from him.
"Jeongin, how was your first day? Did you enjoy it?" She asked Jeongin. He smiled widely.
"There's no fun at school but I enjoyed how your class welcome me." That's the longest statement I heard from him. All of my classmates smiled and even nodded their head as if they really welcome him.
"That's good! Well, that's all for today." She said and left the room.
"Rahae, are you ignoring me?" Jeongin turned his body towards my direction. I chuckled but stop myself by covering my mouth using my hand.
"Do I look like a person who ignores someone without a reason?" I asked him. He was taken aback but then his lips slowly curved up.
"I'm really sorry. I became too rude yesterday."
"Yes. I'm not happy about it. Why didn't you like talking to me?" I looked at the ceiling, acting like I'm really thinking. I could feel his stare on my peripheral view.
"Is it because you hate me? Or you don't like my attitude? Is it?" I glance at him. He just stared at me until I totally face him. Our faces are at the same level and we looked at each other's eyes like we're in a staring game.
"Or is it because you like..." I stopped for a while and showed him my mischievous smile.
"Me?" I continued. I thought he will laugh or atleast chuckle but he didn't. Instead, he turned his gaze away from me and just looked over the window.

"Let's go!" I exclaimed and grabbed my seatmate's arm. He looked at me and pulled his arm back.
"They are gonna see us." He said worriedly and looked around. I looked at my classmates stepping carefully on the staircase in the bus while pulling up their luggages.
I frowned. "Is there something wrong about holding the wrist of a classmate?" He looked at me slowly, processing the question I asked.
"I mean, your classmates will tease us. I know them."
"Our classmates." I corrected him. We've been really close since he transfered. We also ace our projects and mostly got the highest score. I don't really know but having good score on our activities and projects pushed me to worked harder and achieved something.
As of now, we are going on a camping. It's not a school activity but because our homeroom teacher wants adventure, she will bring us to her favorite camping site with some of her friends. Luckily, none of the parents were killjoy and let us all go and have some good time.
"Want to listen to my playlist on Spotify?" My seatmate on the bus offered me his airpods. I gladly accepted it and plug it in my ear.
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you~
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you~
"Woah... I never thought you would listen to this kind of songs."
"I don't normally do but I love listening to it while traveling." Jeongin answered. I nodded and looked at the window.
The wind blew off strands of my hair that is kind of ticklish on my skin. I was supposed to get rid of them when a very delicate hand put them behind my ear.
I jolted up when I realized what happened. I slept while leaning on Jeongin's shoulder. I slept on his shoulder!
He grabbed my wrist that made me comeback to my senses. "The bus is still moving. Why did you stand up?" He asked worriedly. I feel my cheeks heat up so I looked at the window to avoid his stare.
"I'm sorry. I had a bad dream." I breath heavily and my hand is on my chest. I don't have a bad dream but I could feel the adrenaline rush coursing through my veins.
"It's okay. I'm here." He said and move his hand from my wrist to my hand. He intertwined our fingers and he looked at me while smiling.
"Okay, get up! Get up! We're all here!" Our teacher announced while clapping her hands and moving towards the back to check. I grabbed my hands immediately, away from his grip. Our teacher might misunderstand us.
