wooseok tapped his pencil onto his book, letting out a long sigh as he slammed the book close. he couldn't get the annoying vampire off his brain all night. how dare he call books boring and how dare he insult mr. choi?

"what's wrong?" byungchan asked, holding a lollipop in front of him, "want one?"

wooseok took it, tearing the wrapper off and putting the sweet candy into his mouth, "thanks" a small pout still lingered on his face as he huffed in annoyance.

"is he okay?" yohan asked hangyul, who only shrugged, "what's up with him today?"

"maybe its just stress" hangyul whispered, looking over at the brown haired boy, "he is the president after all"

byungchan pouted, "what's wrong wooseok? did something happen?"

wooseok took the lollipop out of his mouth and furrowed his eyebrows, "do you guys think books are lame?"

"uh no. why?" yohan asked, raising an eyebrow at him as he put a piece of chicken into his mouth, "did someone insult you?"

wooseok nodded, "he said that all i can do it stick my head into people's business and my books" he put the lollipop back in his mouth and sulked.

byungchan cocked his head to the side, "who would say that?"

"lee jinhyuk" wooseok mumbled, crossing his arms, "mr. choi asked me to tutor him in english and i tried being nice and he just kept saying mean things at me"

"i'll go tell seungwoo about it! maybe he could tell—" wooseok shook his head, making the blond haired boy stop talking, "or not"

"you shouldn't drag him into my business" wooseok sighed, licking on the blue lollipop, "i'll deal with it myself"

"are you sure?" hangyul asked, a worried look washed over his face, "you can always tell mr. choi"

wooseok smiled devilishly, "that'd just show i'm weak but i'm not"

the brunette was in a better mood after talking to his friends. he couldn't show the vampire he was weak. the vampire was going to simply make fun of him again. he couldn't let that happen. he marched into the library after his last class and found jinhyuk sitting in the same spot yesterday. this time, he had his notebook out and was doodling on the edges.

"are you going to let me tutor you today?" wooseok asked, sitting down across from the vampire and putting the packet down, "or are you going to insult me and my books again?"

jinhyuk glared at him, "didn't i tell you to get lost yesterday? why are you back again?"

"i'm going to come here everyday until you let me tutor you" wooseok pushed the papers to him, "i don't care if you insult my books or anything"

jinhyuk clicked his tongue in annoyance, "don't you have better things to do? i already told you that i don't need a tutor—"

"is there a problem here?" both students whipped their heads to see mr. choi at the doorway, "is jinhyuk cooperating with you wooseok?"

wooseok was going to open his mouth and complain when jinhyuk's hand went over his mouth, "yes i am mr. choi. he's teaching finely" wooseok wanted to burst out laughing at that stiff reply, but held it in until mr. choi left with a big smile.

"why are you laughing? so annoying" jinhyuk murmured as he looked away with pink cheeks, "i hate detention and i'm not doing anything that will cost me to stay in this room filled with books any longer"

wooseok rolled his eyes, resting his chin on the palm of his hand, "its called a library mr. grumpy and if you don't let me tutor you and you don't do the work, i guess i have to call the principle and tell him about it"

"oh you wouldn't" jinhyuk gulped nervously, hoping that the president wouldn't actually tell him. he couldn't stand being in this place.

"oh i would" wooseok grinned, "so are you going to let me tutor you or not?"

jinhyuk turned his head and looked in another direction, "whatever"

"is that a yes or no?" wooseok huffed, pounding his fist lightly onto the table.

"yes" the vampire grumbled, reaching out for his bag to take out his blood pack. he took a big sip and looked into the younger's brown orbs. so big and shiny—

"i can't hear you" wooseok said teasingly, cupping his ear with his hand, "was that a yes or no?"

"yes" the older said a little louder this time before inhaling another gulp of blood, making wooseok cringe in disgust, "you happy?"

wooseok smiled, "definitely" his heart felt warm. he felt some sort of acceptance. maybe jinhyuk wasn't like how everyone described him.

"don't get too ahead of yourself" jinhyuk picked up his pencil and started doing the packet, "i still don't like you and reading sucks"

"it does not suck!" wooseok exclaimed, glaring at the vampire, "its actually fun to read if you actually try to read"

jinhyuk scribbled something down in the packet before looking back up to meet the president's eyes, "yeah yeah its still boring"

sometimes wooseok wondered if jinhyuk's cold face could ever turn into a smile. how could one keep that face up for so long? how could he not smile? he could smirk and chuckle but wooseok wanted to see him smile.

"stop staring at me and tutor me"
