She couldn't lie to herself; she did find him cute after all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Namjoon's bored.
As his friends have class during most of his free periods at sixth form, he's usually being productive in the school's study room: finishing homework, catching up on work, or doing extra credit. Except for today since he genuinely has nothing to do. He could revise, but his brain needs a break. So he just stays on his phone, listening to music through his earbuds.
Sitting at the table in front of him is Y/N. She's tired beyond belief. Despite being on track with all her subjects, she has so much work to complete. When will the teachers realise that she doesn't have a life anymore?
She lays her head on the table as she finishes writing her history essay, enough of the Cold War, she thinks to herself. She feels drained, defeated and completely unhappy, unable to bring a smile to her face nowadays.
After a few minutes of rest, she hears a chair in front of her slide away before someone sits on it. She chooses to ignore it initially until said someone addresses her with a hi that sounds more like a question.
She lifts up her head, eyes settling on Namjoon, who was watching her with a soft gaze. "Hey, do you need anything?" She asks, wondering why he would be here if not for a favour.
He scratches his cheek absentmindedly, clearing his throat as he replies, "I wanted to know if you were alright. You look... Not so good." Y/N isn't offended by his honesty but only chuckles mirthlessly.
"You were watching me?" She questions, the male in front of her widening his eyes in shocking realisation.
"Shit, no, that sounds weird— I swear I didn't mean to seem weird I was just worried!"
Y/N laughs at his panicked rambling, with actual amusement. "It's fine don't worry. It's sweet honestly." She says to reassure him, instead causing him to get flustered.
She couldn't lie to herself; she did find him cute after all.
"W-well, remember to make time for yourself okay? The teachers will understand if you forget one piece of homework because of that. I don't mean to be rude but you need it." Namjoon manages to say with a firm face, trying to will the blushing of his ears away.
Y/N nods, "thank you for caring. I mean it." That only makes Namjoon feel more nervous, giving her a shy smile. She reciprocates, finding some energy within herself to clear her equipment away.
The pair sit in silence (well, except for the group of boys messing around in the front of the room) and just relax. Their presence is strangely comforting to each other.
Y/N doesn't miss Namjoon's quick glances towards her either.
The End ♥️
