-          yerin looked over at jimin, who shot her a grin and then turned his eyes back to the boy at the front of the class.

the teacher cleared her throat, breaking the silence. "well, thank you, jeongguk. we're happy to have you in class with us. you can take a seat beside--" she scanned the class impatiently. "how about in front of yerin?"

yerin ducked her head in brisk greeting as he approached. ignoring jimin completely, she gauged the new boy's appearance. he wore a simple white t-shirt, jeans, and his shoes were clunky timberlands. yerin shook her head to banish her distraction, and tried to focus back up on the algebra lesson.

just as she started to copy the notes, jeongguk turned around to face her.

"sorry, do you know what day it is?"

yerin was suddenly aware of how fast her heart was beating. "n-november eighth, i think?" she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

"okay, thanks!" he turned back around, and yerin self-consciously lifted a hand to her burning face.

next to her, jimin stifled a laugh. "you okay, rin?"

"fine," she mumbled. why do i have to be so shy? she asked herself. why couldn't i just act normally for once?
