SIX: the road to full marks

𖤣𖤥𖠿𖤣𖤥

Once again in the same setting, Meiyon found herself sitting in the same spot as a few days before. As she caught up with Eva about her current situation between balancing her studies and sport, the lively girl who initiated this meet up came back with a wide grin.

"You look happy." Eva raised an eyebrow in a judgemental yet playful manner.

"Sure am." Haera giggled to herself as she played around with the receipt given to her.

"I can't be the only one who sees her tail wagging right?" Meiyon pretended to whisper to only Eva knowing damn well Haera was close enough to hear.

"Hey!" Haera shot a look before smiling again.

"So what is the news babe." Eva snapped her fingers as a demand to fill her in this instance.

"I found out his name." Haera came close before speaking in a careful and low tone.

"That's it?" Meiyon couldn't help but chuckle at her excited state for she expected something more. Something more exciting like her winning a lottery.

"Shush Mei. What do you know about puppy love." Eva joked before receiving yet another look from Haera.

"His name is Heeseung."

However, Eva wasn't wrong. In her whole entire life till now, she has never dated nor fell in love with anyone. At least not seriously. She wanted to make sure if the relationship was to be serious, it would have to be flawless too. Time and dedication would have to be her most priority thus with her current lifestyle, she had no time to romance.

As Eva and Haera continued talking about the the Heeseung situation, it was only a matter of the blind leading the blind. As they volunteered to grab their drinks, their voices began fading away. Meiyon took a deep breath before she tuned into her recently recorded video of herself on the ice. Analysing the turns and axels, she monitored the precision and noted down what needed to be improved on.

"Woah, you're really good." An unfamiliar voice caught her by surprise. As she turned around to reveal a boy bending over, face inches away, she almost took a fright. The blond boy smiled before standing straight again as he waited for his reaction.

"Oh thank you." Meiyon collected herself.

"Don't feed into her ego." Another voice, a familiar one, spoked in a bored tone. As if it was out of instinct, she rolled her eyes before turning her body to face her temporary (attractive) coach.

"How could i not bro? Do you see how cool she is?" He points into her phone screen that was still playing.

"So many people and not enough drinks." Eva came back holding two drinks whilst Haera with one.

"Oh it's star student and friends." Haera waved enthusiatically.

"Star student." Meiyon scoffed at that name before earning a glare from Sunghoon.

As the three boys formally introduced each other, perhaps this generation in socialising was on another level. It was quite easy for all of them to get along and with a matter of fact, they were already sat together with the tables combined.

"Have you started on the assignment?" Jake, the blond boy, asked everyone.

"Nope. But this girl has." Eva patted Meiyon's head as she looked up from her phone upon hearing her name.

"Hm?" Meiyon looked cluelessly as Eva only told her nothing but a smile.

"I heard Professor is actually grading this leniently because its heavy weighting." Jay commented in which majority of the people cheered.

With their voices gradually fading away, much like a barrier blocking their sound, she tried concentrating on the video before an unwelcomed notification caught her eyes.

Although he had offered to help her proof read, she found it quite unsettling as she would've never imagined him to even give it a thought. Perhaps her judgements on him were wrong. However, who could blame the impressions he had built upon himself?

As he shifted closer towards her whilst angling the laptop to his vision, Meiyon made sure to observe his every move. The fear of him deleting her work was too much to handle.

With every sentence he highlighted on the document, typing, and more reading, she couldn't help but to hold her breath. Despite her effort in perfecting her assignment, his comments and feedback were reasonable and would definitely be used for further improvement.

"Wow what is this special treatment?" Jay noticed the two being in their own worlds.

"You're helping her but not us?" Jake dramatically held his palm against his mouth to hide his supposedly shocked face.

Maybe he was more than just an annoying rude boy.

"You two haven't even started." Sunghoon nonchalantly replied without leaving the doc.

His multi-tasking nature was one to praise as well.

How annoyingly considerate, Park Sunghoon.
