"and then there i was inside the puppy café--yah! are you even listening?" jungwoo stops his story telling time about his encounter with a really cute poodle as he notices his best friend not really paying attention to his narration.

"uhuh," she gazes off in a distance as she rests her chin ontop of her palm. she dreamily eyes her crush sitting a few tables away from her.

jungwoo turned around to see who she was staring at. wong yukhei. the guy that yeseul was head over heels for. he huffs and pouts, placing his palm infront of yukhei's view.

"hey! what gives?" yeseul snaps out of her cute fantasies with lucas, specifically, one of them sitting on a picnic mat under the cherry blossoms as they slowly leaned in for a kiss.

"why weren't you listening~?" he whines, pouting while crossing his arms in a charming manner. "jungwoo ith mad that you wont lithen to him!" he shrugs his shoulders cutely.

"yah! don't use it on me, it doesn't work!" she says proudly while shaking her index finger infront of him. she stabs the octopus sausages inside her lunchbox and puts them in her mouth.

"do you like it?" jungwoo looks at yeseul hopefully. yeseul raises an eyebrow at jungwoo, "are you serious? of course i do! plus they're hella cute and you put alot of effort into it!" she cheerfully giggles as she stuffs another spoon of rice into her mouth.

"if you like it so much then, i'll make another for us tomorrow!" jungwoo smiles as he looked at yeseul happily eating.

"let's study after school, i'll treat you to boba!" yeseul invited her cute bestfriend to study for a biology exam tomorrow. "oh my goshieee! yay!" jungwoo seal claps excitedly.

"c'mon, we'll be late for calculus!" yeseul hurriedly packs up for lunchbox, not ready for another scolding from mrs. go.

"can someone please write the fundamental theorem of calculus on the whiteboard?" mr. moon announced as he scans the classroom to find the lucky student to write the formula on the board.

"ah, mr. wong. please come down and write the formula on the board for me." mr. moon amusingly calls out the tall student who was obviously not paying attention to the lesson, instead, he was happily playing piano tiles on his phone.

yukhei sweats profusely and gulps a big lump in his throat. yeseul stifles a laugh at his comical gesture. hesitantly, yukhei got up and walks to the board. as he was walking, yeseul shyly handed him a post it note with the answer on it.

yukhei picked up the post it note and stuffed it between his big fingers while still making the answer visible to him.

"well mr. moon that would be..." yukhei starts writing down the formula as he proudly spoke each variable, occasionally looking down at the post it note.

"uh---okay, very well, mr. wong. you may now go back to your seat, as i was saying..." mr. moon goes on with his class.

as yukhei was walking back to his seat, he winked at yeseul. "thanks, babe".

yeseul melts in her seat, you wont know how much she wanted to scream and squeal right there. she shyly smiles while covering her beet red face.

"since all of you seem to understand the lesson, please take out your quiz booklets!" a series of groans followed mr. moon's enthusiastic approach to a quiz. an inaudible chuckle slips out of his mouth, finding the student's reaction amusing.

yeseul sighs, she wasn't able to focus at all since yukhei winked at her. her heart just did a thing and until now, she wasn't able to calm down.

she retrieves her quiz booklet and a mechanical pencil from her bag. she took a deep breath, hoping that she would pass the quiz. she wasn't the worst at math, but she couldn't help to have the tiniest bit of anxiety.

her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden tap on the shoulder, she looked at the person tapping her shoulder.

yukhei.

"i know i asked alot from you today, but can i perhaps borrow a pencil? i forgot to bring mine." he chuckles as he scratched the back of his neck. "o-oh! okay, wait a sec," she frantically digs through her pencil case.

she gives the mechanical pencil to yukhei, only to process that it was a pastel pink one with a bunny design. "oh--shit, oh my god. wait, let me find another one--"

"chill, yeseul. it's fine, that's really cute, i'll take it." he blinks cutely while flashing a small smile. "thanks again, babe." he winks before going back to his seat.

get it together, yeseul.

how the hell was she going to focus on her calculus exam?!?!
