Hyunjoon sighed as he observed his long time crush, Choi Chanhee. Some might consider him a stalker, since he knew Chanhee's schedule like the back of his hand and a lot about his likes and dislikes. "Hey, earth to Hyunjoon. Stop staring and pay attention. This is why you're failing this class." Hyunjoon glared at his friend Changmin, but did as he was told. It's not that he wasn't good at math, he was just easily distracted by Chanhee.

"That was the bell, class dismissed. Don't forgot to do your homework. Though, I know more than 3/4 of you won't." Hyunjoon loved his math teacher because of his wittiness. "Hey, we have a class to get to. Your man already left too." Hyunjoon groaned as he quickly gathered his stuff and jogged with Changmin to their next class. Changmin had been his friend for as long as he could remember. Their dads were hiking buddies, so their moms got to know each other and regularly brought them to each other's homes. The bell rang not too long after they had entered the classroom. "Ready for another boring history lesson?" Changmin quietly laughed then pretended he was reading while he started using his phone.

"Dude, can you believe I almost got caught?" "In fact, I can. No one said it would be a smart idea to watch funny videos in class." "Hey look, it's your husband." Hyunjoon hit Changmin in the chest then looked in the direction he pointed towards. Sure enough, there was Chanhee at his locker with his friend, Sangyeon. "I dare you to go over and talk to him. If you don't, you have to buy my lunch for a whole week." Hyunjoon would've preferred to buy Changmin's lunch for a week, but he received a certain amount of allowance per week. "Fine. When everything goes wrong, I know exactly who to blame." Hyunjoon took a deep breath then slowly walked over to Chanhee.

"H-H-H..." Chanhee heard a small noise coming from behind him then watched Sangyeon point behind him. "You are?" He waited for the person to respond, but it seemed as if he wouldn't get an answer. "Weird. Maybe you need a blessing." "I Hyunjoon. You're here, I'm here. We're all here. Okay, great, bye!" Chanhee watched the guy named Hyunjoon walk away quickly and he started wondering if the guy was normal or just plain crazy.

"Hyunjoon, you-" "Don't even start, Changmin. I know how I looked." Changmin couldn't contain his laughter as he remembered how awkward Hyunjoon looked. "He even said you need a blessing. Still, I can't believe you like the holiest person in school. He's so religious man." Hyunjoon hit Changmin's arm then shoved his hands into his pockets. "I didn't know he was that religious until a week after I started liking him." Changmin tapped Hyunjoon then motioned in a different direction. "Oh, right. See you tomorrow." Hyunjoon continued on his way home as his embarrassing introduction replayed in his mind.

Hyunjoon was awakened by the sound of rain pattering on his window and the smell of eggs and bacon. He did his usual morning routine then walked to the kitchen. "Hey Dad." "Hey. Don't forget to take an umbrella, okay?" "I know." He quietly ate breakfast with his dad. It had always been this way since his mother died. It wasn't that he and his father were on bad terms, they just didn't really click as much as they used to. "I'm leaving." "Stay safe."

He shook his umbrella in a corner of the school then walked to his locker. He felt a smile creep onto his face as he passed by Chanhee's locker. "Boo!" "Ah!" Hyunjoon glared daggers into Changmin as he walked to his locker. "If looks could kill, I'd be a dead man. You look like you've recovered from yesterday." "I wish I recovered." Hyunjoon opened his locker then took out his books that he needed for that day. "Oh, it's Chanhee. What's this? He's walking this way." Hyunjoon was quick to turn around and sure enough, Chanhee was walking in their general direction. "He's not coming over here."

"Hey." Hyunjoon jumped then slowly turned around. "H-H-H..." "You dropped this yesterday. Be more careful with your stuff. Also, I'm guessing my prayer didn't get through yesterday seeing as how you're still sputtering like a fish out of water. I'll make sure to pray harder." Chanhee walked away and Hyunjoon couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Chang, he talked to me. He TALKED to me." "I know. I was there. I'm surprised myself. But I can't get over the fact he said that he prayed for your stuttering." Changmin started laughing and walked away to his first class. "How are we still friends?" Hyunjoon thought.

The bell finally rang signaling that it was now lunch time. Hyunjoon packed up his stuff and walked out of the classroom. "So, what's the plan for lunch, Chang?" "Same as usual?" "Figured." They walked to the cafeteria then got on line for lunch. They sat down at a table then started talking about their boring classes. "Oh? Chanhee is eating lunch here today. I da-" "Shut. Up. I am not doing another dare. You ruined my chances with him with that." Changmin burst out laughing and received a few looks from surrounding students. "Did you just say ruin your chances with him? Joon, you never had a chance to begin with. You know he doesn't believe in a man dating a man, a woman dating a woman, etc."

Hyunjoon rolled his eyes then noticed Chanhee was walking in their general direction. "Please let him stop here, please." Chanhee passed them by and sat at a further table with Sangyeon. "You looked so obvious. Hey, Chanhee. Do you mind sitting over here with us?" "I don't see a problem with it." Hyunjoon watched as Chanhee sat down next to him and Sangyeon across from him. "Oh, it's you again. Hyunjoon was it?" He could only give a nod in response. "Do we have any classes together?" "Calculus, World History, Physics, and P.E on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays." Hyunjoon didn't realize what had happened until he saw three pairs of wide eyes staring at him. "Uh, I...this is awkward..." "Well, we have physics next period, so, we could go together." "S-Sure..."

He held the door open for Chanhee then followed behind him. "So it seems like you know my schedule." "I...It wasn't intentional." Chanhee chuckled then asked another question. "How come I've never seen you before until now?" "I usually stay on the sidelines." Chanhee entered the room then went to his seat near the front of the room. "We had a conversation. Oh my Namjesus. My heart feels like it's about to burst."

He sat down in his chair and somehow missed the seat then ended up on the floor. Everyone had started snickering as he scrambled to get back onto his seat. He was grateful that Chanhee hadn't seen him fall. The teacher walked in and everyone scrambled to their seats as this teacher wasted no time with teaching.
