"what're you doing?" jinhyuk asked, peering his head to look over at what the president was writing down on his notebook.

"plans for our senior trip next year" wooseok beamed, scribbling down a couple more ideas, "i want the school to take us somewhere fun"

"it better not be some amusement park" jinhyuk muttered, expressing his strong hate for roller coasters, "hate those stupid rollercoasters"

"then we won't put that down on the list" wooseok said, erasing the idea with his eraser, scraping off the rubber bits off his notebook, "did you finish your work jinhyuk?"

jinhyuk looked down at his blank page and shook his head, "it's not fun"

"nothing is ever fun to you" wooseok giggled, extending his hand to ruffle jinhyuk's head. without even knowing it, he touched the soft black locks of hair that was held up with hair gel.

jinhyuk was taken aback by wooseok's action and blushed, "w-what did you just do?"

"your hair is so soft" wooseok's eyes practically sparkled as he put his pencil down and started playing with the older's head.

jinhyuk rolled his eyes, containing his temper to not smack the president's hand away. actually, he didn't need to. he actually quite liked it for some reason. he wasn't— he wasn't bothered by it. seeing the sheer joy on the younger's face made him happy inside.

"there!" wooseok smiled, clapping his hands like a seal after he straightened out the boy's hair, "you look handsome like this"

"what?" jinhyuk took out his phone, turning on the camera app, only to see wooseok flatten his hair. his hair was no longer gelled up, but instead it was flat down, creating bangs the parted on either side of his forehead, "i look ugly. what're you talking about?"

wooseok shook his head, "you should do your hair like this. girls are bound to fall in love with you more like this" wooseok winked, making jinhyuk let out a puff of air in annoyance. he wasn't trying to have more girls follow him. after that monkey girl that clung onto his arm and opened his wound, he was never going to talk to another girl ever again.

"i'm not going to do that if girls are going to come after me" jinhyuk put his phone away, crossing his arms, "they're so annoying"

wooseok pouted, looking at jinhyuk with glossy eyes, hoping that his cute face would once again, prevail, "then do it for me please?"

"who do you think you are?" jinhyuk almost stuttered. he couldn't believe himself. he almost fell into wooseok's trap again. first, the president asked him to smile, which he did, and now, he's asking him to do his hair like this?

"i'm your friend!" wooseok exclaimed, crossing his arms, "isn't it obvious already mr. vampire?"

jinhyuk's jaw slightly dropped. they were friends. wooseok considered them friends.

"don't be ridiculous" jinhyuk muttered, "no one wants to be friends with me" he looked down at his packet, answering the questions to keep his mind on something else other than what wooseok just said.

wooseok huffed, "i do! i want to be your friend!" the expression on wooseok's face made him see how badly he wanted him to be his friend.

"with my temper and how aggressive i am?" jinhyuk scoffed, "you must be crazy"

wooseok's bottom lip jutted out, "i'm not crazy! i'm telling you the truth! if seungwoo and yuvin can be friends with you then why can't i?"

"they grew up with me" jinhyuk argued, slamming his fist onto the table lightly. he couldn't simply find an excuse to push the younger away. he wanted to become closer to the president. he wanted wooseok to be his friend. he was just scared that he'd leave like how she did.

"and? can't you let new people into your life?" wooseok whispered, looking down at his hands and fiddling with his sweater sleeves. he felt the vampire next to him stiffen and then relax as he let out a soft sigh, extending his arm to grab wooseok's hand.

wooseok looked up at the older and saw jinhyuk guiding his hand to his pile of soft hair, "if its you then— then i guess i can make an exception"

wooseok smiled ever so brightly, ruffling jinhyuk's hair to his heart's content, "you're acting less cold now mr. vampire. is that my fault?"

"shut it" jinhyuk grumbled, blushing as he felt wooseok giggle, "its all your fault"

wooseok cupped the vampire's cheeks, "i like it" i like you.

"get back to work" jinhyuk said, grabbing wooseok's hands and pulling them away from his face. he still didn't know what that strange feeling in the pit of his stomach was. he— he liked it.

wooseok was always kind to him. they've known each other for almost a month now and he never thought he'd get along with a goody two shoes. in fact, he swore to himself that he wouldn't talk to the president.

his feelings got the best of him. he should hate him not— like him.
