“Watch your step!”

Ryeowook doesn’t have time to heed the warning and he goes sprawling across the pavement, his books and notes scattering around him.

“Ow.”

He lies on the ground, assessing the damage to his body when he is gently hauled up by big hands.

“I guess my warning was a little too late,” the stranger says ruefully. “Let me help you clean up.”

Ryeowook dumbly nods and picks up his books. The other boy was still talking, gesturing with his hands while collecting his notes.

“I don’t suppose I can interest you in some coffee? My treat.”

“I…,” Ryeowook hesitates for a bit, wary around strangers. “Thank you, but I really should get going. Thanks for all your help.”

“Anytime,” he smiles. “Until next time, cutie.”

Ryeowook frowns at the stranger as he throws a wink and saunters off. Cocky jerk.
