"curiosity isnt a bad thing. because of it, i found you" -stylish

i sat down at my desk, aimlessly staring at random things. i looked forward and saw you with your head down.

i didn't really know you, and i don't think the rest of the class really did either. well, time to be the first!

i leaned forward and tapped your shoulder, your head jolting up.

you stared at me blankly, waiting for me to talk, so i did.

"can i play with your hair?"

"pardon?"

"can i play with your hair?"

"i heard you the first time, shorty. the answer is no."

"i'll give you some chocolate."

"why do you even wanna do it?"

"it looks soft."

you gave me a more blank stare, if that was even possible. your hands went up to your face and you rubbed your eyes.

you turned around and held your hand open. i looked at you confusingly.

"chocolate."

i beamed brightly as i looked into my bag before grabbing a bar out.

"here!"

you hummed and turned around, leaning back in the process. i immediately started playing with it.

you must've liked it because you leaned back so far that you ended up falling out of your chair backwards.

there was a loud crash and everyone looked at us. you didn't bother making any eye contact with anyone and picked yourself up, along with the chair.

thankfully for good timing, the teacher came in as soon as you sat back down.

"alright, everyone go to your seats."

class ended quickly.

reason?

i fell asleep.

surprisingly, you were the one to wake me up.

you kept tapping me and mumbling,

"hey. shorty. bean. wake up. hey. class is over. wake up."

i grumbled and looked around. there were a few people still in the classroom. i looked up to the board to see that one of the names written down was mine.

"cleaning duty... are you kidding me?"

i briefly read through the list and saw your name too.

"oh! you're clean duty too!"

you ignored me and went to grab the materials.

"hey! wait up a bit!"

you kept looking straight, searching for the cleaning tools.

"slow down! one of your steps is like... four of mine!"

that's when you stopped, put your head down, and started trembling.

i caught up to you and poked your shoulder.

"you good?"

you rubbed your face, which was extremely red, and took a deep breath.

and then you just left!

just started walking away like nothing happened!

honestly unbelievable.

i froze there while you disappeared around the corner.

you eventually came back with twice the materials in your hands and bumped me while walking back.

"you gonna come or something? your stuff is here too."

"huh? oh. yeah, coming!"

we made it back to the class in no time (probably because you never slowed down for me and i had to keep running, but we ignore that).

cleaning finished and i had stuck around you the whole time, much to your despise. at least that's what it seemed like.

the sky was darker than usual and you seemed to notice once we got out of the entrance.

"tsk. inconvenient," you mumbled.

"shorty. which way is your house."

"i have a name, you know?"

"whatever. which way is your house, yeojin."

"left... you know my name?"

i nearly screamed at this fact.

"not hard to learn when everyone screams it the whole day. i'm dropping you off. a bean like you is gonna get picked up and thrown into a van easily."

"hey!"

you started walking before letting me speak more. inevitably, i ran to catch up to you.

you had your hands in your pockets with you earphones in, scarf around your neck too.

i, on the other hand, was slightly unfortunate. my hands wouldn't warm up no matter how i tried, my neck was nearly frozen, and my whole body just felt numb.

suddenly, i felt you pull me closer. it was warm and melted my body. i looked up at you slightly and accidentally made puppy eyes.

"it was... you... you were right next to the street, alright? what if a car swerved over and smashed all 10cm of you? i would have a hard time explaining to the cops. yeah..."

"sure, sure. my house is right there! you should stay the night. no one's home. even if they were, i'm sure they wouldn't mind you."

for once, you face wasn't that blank and empty.

"what if i had bad intentions? why do you trust me so quickly?"

i ignored you and unlocked the door, taking off my shoes. i dropped my backpack and slammed into the couch before turning on the t.v.

moments passed and you eventually settled in too, our bodies leaning on each other.

you cut off my focus on the t.v by asking,

"is curiosity a bad thing, yeojin?"

"curiosity isn't a bad thing. after all, because of it, i found you."

-despite all this writing, u think i would know or be affectionate, but it is the hardest thing for me to show my care for someone (i still dk how to hug)
-despite ^^^^ there are times where i really just wanna hug someone (but idk how and its v ooc for me to be physical)
-i am short 🤠
