Mute Girl and Black Prince

Look at Me

"Okay please take your seats," the homeroom teacher instructed.

Dahyun panicked when she saw Eunwoo started to walk on her direction. Oh crap. Don't tell me he's gonna sit here.

She glanced at the the two vacants seats near her, one in front of her and the other one is beside her. She gulped and silently prays that Eunwoo will change his mind and choose another seat.

Dahyun was too focused on Eunwoo she didn't notice the tall figure standing beside her.

Her head immediately move to side when she heard the chair beside her screeched.

Dahyun's eyes widened and she hold on to her chair for support because she feels like falling. How did he -- But he was just there awhile ago? When did he --- Why is he sitting here?!

Yugyeom took the vacant seat beside Dahyun. He intentionally moved his table a little bit closer to her. He can feel Dahyun's stare, but he didn't dare to glance back at her. He doesn't know how will he handle it if their eyes met. Her mere close presence is already making him feel nervous, what more if they look at each other. He might not control himself and do something stupid.

Dahyun's attention switch back to Eunwoo who is now standing in front of him with a bright smile on his face. "Hi Dahyun. It's good to see you," he greeted. He gladly took the vacant seat in front of Dahyun. But instead of looking in front, he look at his back and dreamily stare at Dahyun who's giving her a "stop looking at me" look.

"I don't mind being in this class forever as long as I'm with you," Eunwoo blurted out without hesitation which made Dahyun moved back and embarassingly look away.

Dahyun started to feel uncomfortable. First, Yugyeom and Eunwoo are sitting near her. Second, her classmates are whispering and glaring at her. Lastly, she can smell a series of trouble coming to her.

She sighed and closed her eyes. Of all the people, why me? Why can't it be another girl? What did I do to deserve this?

Their first subject teacher finally came. Dahyun heaved a sigh of relief when Eunwoo finally faced front and all of her classmates are no longer looking at her.

She was too serious in listening to their teacher when suddenly, a crampled paper landed on her table.

She looked at the paper, wondering where it came from. When she turned to her side, she saw Yugyeom's poker face while looking in front. She wondered if it's him who threw the paper. But then, it wouldn't be Eunwoo since he's sitting right in front of her so she can clearly see his actions.

Dahyun slowly stare at Yugyeom. He is still looking in front, like he didn't do anything.

Curious of what's written on the paper, she uncrampled it and read, "Stop looking at me."

Her eyebrows creased. I'm not looking at anyone though.

But later on, she found herself secretly staring at Yugyeom.

Her eyes widened and she instantly covered her mouth to suppress her gasp when Yugyeom caught her looking at him.

It was a staring contest. Dahyun is waiting for him to look away, but Yugyeom's eyes remained on her.

When she could not take anymore his hard stare, Dahyun finally look away and focus her attention in front.

She can feel her face heating up for what happened.

After a few seconds, she slowly turned on Yugyeom's direction and see if he's still looking at her. And to her surprise, he's still looking at her!

Yugyeom mouthed, "Why are you looking at me?"

Dahyun's mouth hanged open. So it's really him who threw the paper on my table!

She get a piece of paper and write something on it, then carefully put it on Yugyeom's table.

"I'm not looking at you."

Yugyeom can't help but smirk after reading her note. Her handwriting is cute, he said to himself. He get another piece of paper and wrote something, then threw it on Dahyun's table.

"I just caught you looking at me. Stop lying, missy."

Dahyun scoffed then glared at Yugyeom who is smirking at her. Stop smirking, you jerk!

She get another piece of paper and wrote something. Yugyeom take that time to neatly fold the first note she gave to him and secretly put it on his pocket.

Then another paper landed on Yugyeom's table. He's still not reading what she wrote but he found himself already smiling and feeling excited.

"What's with these paper notes? Why are you bothering me?"

It took Yugyeom a long time to reply to her note, so Dahyun thought that maybe he will finally stop bothering her.

When the bell rang, they said their goodbye to their teacher and get themselves ready for the break time.

She was about to stand, when all of a sudden, Yugyeom's warm hand grasp her wrist. Then he carefully and secretly slid a piece of paper on her hand before standing up and walking out of the classroom.

Dahyun glanced at the paper on her palm, she can still feel the warmth of Yugyeom's hand. Erasing that thought, she slowly unfolded the paper and read what's written on it, "Because for now, I want to be selfish. I want to be the only one who can hear your voice. Expect more paper notes to come."

Dahyun stared at Yugyeom's back as he walks away. She's thinking if she should follow her, but what will happen if he faced her? Will she got the will to talk to him nor even look at him? She's already feeling weak when Yugyeom is near her, what more if they speak to each other?

Kim Yugyeom, why do you have this effect on me?
