Author's POV

You were the quiet girl who sat at the back of the class with your two best friends. You weren’t exactly seen as a nerd, you were just perceived as quiet – the girl who doesn’t talk.

You and Kai met in a detention class. You were put in it for forgetting to do your homework. Kai was there due to his usual tardiness, most likely to be caused by late night outs with some girls from the clubs.

The detention class that day was pretty full and the teacher in charge put everyone into a seating plan. You were sat at the back next to the window. The teacher assigned Kai to the seat next to you. As he was making his way there he took a quick glance at you and looked away. Quiet girls, nerds, social outcasts, showing interest in these sorts of people were never on his to-do list.

The class was silent and everyone was minding their own business. Every now and then the teacher would get off his seat and wander around the class to check what everyone was up to. Kai was slouched down in his chair with his phone out under the desk. Whilst you spent your time doodling on your notebook, expressing your cravings for sweets with your little drawings of fruit rocks, bon bons, cola cubes, rhubarb and custards, ice cream etc.

The teacher was making his way around the class again as he got to the desk two in front of yours, he tripped over his own foot but managed to regain his balance. Only a small minority of the class witnessed the scene, including you and Kai. No one found it amusing at all. Kai looked at the teacher with a smirk and resumed what he was doing.

On the other hand, a smile lit your face but disappeared in a split second. But as your mind replayed that moment, you had to prop up an arm on the desk, covering your mouth as you turn your head towards the window, struggling to bite back your laugh. You shoulders were shaking as you quietly entered a little laughing fit.

This caught Kai’s attention. At first he thought you were just plain weird, but slowly came to realise you were giggling.

He didn't expect the quiet girl with a seemingly mature attitude to be the only person who is childishly laughing at something so immature. He leaned back in his chair, watching you in amusement.

The teacher finally announced the end of detention. You cleared your throat and acted like nothing happened, flicking your hair back as you stood from your seat. Kai also got up from his seat whilst keeping his eyes glued onto you.

His eyes travelled down to your doodling. Only to see drawings of sweets and ice creams as well as the bold capitalised names of some of your all time favourites, filling up a double page spread in your notebook. He couldn’t help but let out small chuckle at your unexpected childishness.

Hearing his chuckle, you looked up at him, your eyes meeting his. Kai’s amused facial expression disappeared, instead his lips slightly parted in awe.

At that moment he managed to take a closer look at your face, taking notice of your beautifully delicate features and milky white skin, clear of any imperfections, on your completely natural make up free skin. Your large round eyes, surrounded by long elegant eyelashes narrowed as you realized he was laughing at you. Quickly slamming your notebook shut, you shoved it into your bag and made your way out of the class. Kai remained in his position until your body disappeared from his sight as he looked at the back of your retreating figure in interest.

The following day, Kai started to take more notice of you and only then did he realise you were in his maths class, even though you were sat on the desk in front of him on the left. Rather than taking his usual naps specifically dedicated to this time slot, he observed your interactions with your friends. By doing so, he learnt that you weren’t as quiet as everyone thought you were. Instead when around people you were comfortable with, you were actually quite talkative and unexpectedly direct with your words. Sometimes he would find himself chuckling into his arms as he listens to your blunt comments whilst feigning sleep.

During lunch, Kai was sat in the school’s canteen with Exo K at their own ‘VIP’ table. He scanned the whole room using his highly skilled playboy radar and was able to locate you and your friends at a small table in the corner within seconds. Though you were at the other end of the canteen, he watched as you hysterically laughed at…well pretty much everything. He silently laughed to himself when he saw how giddy you were as you took a bite into your cake.

D.O who was next to Kai the whole time noticed Kai’s silent laughter, he stopped paying attention to the small group conversation and nudged Suho who was sat on the other side of him. Suho looked at D.O who didn’t say anything. D.O’s face looked so lost and confused as he turned to look at the strangely smiling Kai with his large round owl eyes, signalling Suho to check out what he saw.

Suho curiously followed D.O’s eyes and he too had a confused look on his face. Baekhyun who was in the middle of speaking noticed his two friends’ faces and also followed their gaze. He suddenly went completely off topic from whatever he was saying.

“(blah blah blah)…and….another new target huh?”

Chanyeol and Sehun’s faces twitched as they confusingly looked at Baekhyun who made a sudden change of topic and followed his eyes. Now, the whole of Exo K were staring at the strangely smiling Kai with questioning looks.

A wave of discomfort washed over Kai’s body, he slowly turned to his right, jumping in shock when he saw everyone staring at him with strange looks.

“W-what?”

Everyone’s eyes narrowed in sync to give Kai a more judging look. Kai blinked in confusion, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, avoiding any eye contact. Luckily he was saved by the bell. He cleared his throat, got up from his seat and awkwardly spoke “we should get going…I’ll see you guys later”

He left the canteen before the rest of s who remained seated, their eyes following the second youngest as he exited the canteen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The home time bell rang and you got ready to meet up with Suji and Minyoung outside school. You made your way to your locker. The locker door opened with the sound of a click and you were greeted by a pack of your all time favourite - fruit rocks!

You looked around, wondering whether someone had put this in the wrong locker. But holding the pack of sweets, you felt your temptation giving in. After staring at the sweets for a few seconds longer, you casually shrugged *ah well...their loss*. Giving the sweets another long look, you smiled to yourself and somehow let out a squeal in delight, your eyes twinkling at the sight of the pleasant treat.

Realising the weird looks you were getting from people walking by, you covered your mouth, grabbing some of your homework booklets, quickly shoving them in your bag and closed the locker door.

Not forgetting to take your pack of sweets, you happily skipped out of school.

Watching this whole scene in amusement was Kai who hid himself behind some lockers. The more he observed you, the more interesting you seem to get. You weren’t the quiet girl everyone thought you were for sure. Compared to the other girls he had previously met, you were a lot more…unique?

You excitedly ran towards your two friends who were waiting for you by the school gates with an orange fruit rock in your mouth. Before you bumped into them, you came to a sudden halt. Suji and Minyoung completely forgot about the conversation they were having and bewilderedly looked at a very hyper you. There was a twinkle in your eyes as you spoke.

“I haf fwuits wocks”

Suji and Minyoung’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“Er...you what?”

“I-I haf…” instead of wasting your time trying to speak, you showed them the fruit rock that was securely trapped in between your two sets of teeth and pointed to it in a child-like manner.

They both raised their eyebrows, Suji lips parted mouthing “Ohh”. Minyoung laughed at how hyper you were from eating sweets.

“You really worry me sometimes” she shook her head “I thought you suddenly developed a lisp within the two hours we didn’t see you or something”

You laughed and starting to walk home. You held out your pack of sweets, offering them one, which they both gladly took. Suji seemed to be enjoying the sweet as she examined the flavour.

“It’s really fruity” she commented.

Minyoung nodded in agreement whilst you replied back “Well it is fruit rock!”

They laughed at your immaturity, which only the two of them had the honours of witnessing everytime you ate sweets. Minyoung covered whilst laughing.

“It sounds like some sort of slogan”

The three of you burst out in another round of laughter.

“One minute, where did you get them from, I’m pretty sure you didn’t have them the last time we saw you”

“Oh, I just found them in my locker”

You casually said, Suji and Minyoung stopped walking.

“Wait a minute, so…” Suji finished off Minyoung’s question “someone gave it to you?”

You turned back and looked at her with your innocent looking eyes.

“Mmm...I think they might have placed them in the wrong locker”

Suji looked at you in disbelief whilst Minyoung stood still in her position, gawking at your way of thinking. She didn't know whether to think that you're simply naive or whether to think you're some sort of unsympathetic sweets demon. In the end they both shook it off when they realised that this was actually quite typical of you and carried on walking.

Minyoung remained quiet throughout your walk home. She couldn’t help but to feel suspicious. Something didn’t feel right. Could it be that someone specifically gave you the sweets? If so, who? Could you possibly have a secret admirer?

For the rest of the week, you would find different types of sweets in your locker, but never once did you question who could be misplacing them there. You wish you would care more and actually feel for whoever's missing out on the yummy treats, but again...it's their loss.

Minyoung on the over hand, was getting quite worried. Her protective instincts were kicking in as she started to observe the whole class, in hope of finding a ‘suspect’. She didn’t like the idea of you having a secret admirer from the bunch idiots in this school...and it just didn't make sense for there to be someone stupid enough to place all those sweets in your locker.

What you didn’t realise, was that all the sweets you were getting were actually the ones that you named and drew in your notebook during detention. And the only people who saw them were you and Kai.

That Friday was little more special. This time, you found a large cute lollipop in your locker when you went to collect some books after lunch.

You held up the lollipop and confusingly looked at the sticky note. Gently peeling it off, you quietly read out loud.

“_____________ park…after school at 5:00pm…K?"

...

Uh oh.

The guilt slowly started to sink into you.

For your last two lessons, you were sat in your classes with both elbows propped up on the desk, your chin resting in your hands. Pondering with furrowed brows, puffed up cheeks and pouting lips. *k…k…k….K? Who the hell could K possibly be?!* By the end of your last lesson your eyebrows were so close to meeting each other and your pouty lips were sticking out more than ever. Hearing the last bell of the day ring, you slowly released all the air stored in your puffed up cheeks and stood up. *Afterschool…park…K...*

You already texted Suji and Minyoung you had something to do after school and told them to walk home without you. Now all you had to do is go to the park and meet this mysterious K...I mean the least you could do is fess up to your own doings and apologise for your own ignorance, right? Right.

*...if he's really that upset about it, and worse comes to worse...I'll, I'll just pay him back for all the sweets then...no big deal (T__T)*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you got to the park, no one was there. You stepped in and made your way to the swings sitting on one of them.

Sitting there by yourself, strangely made you feel nervous, your heart rate started to slowly increase. Your hands gripped tightly onto the chains of the swing as you stared down at your feet.

An ice cream cone was suddenly brought in front of your face, snapping you out of your daze. You looked up to see a member of the infamous Exo K. At that moment, your mind blanked out and your eyes almost popped out of its sockets. *Oh crap!!* mentally facepalming yourself *of all people...* Kai was stood in front of you..with an ice cream cone? 

Finding this all too hard to believe, you looked around to see if anyone else was in the park. *...God help me! Is this my punishment for eating all those sweets? If so, I'm so sorry!! I swear to the heavens, I'll live an honest life from here on out...please, please just let me off this once!*

Seeing this Kai chuckled, he slightly held the ice cream cone closer to you.

“Take it, it’s for you”

“A-ah, th-thank you”

Your delicate voice came out like a whisper, you took the cone from his hand, slightly jumping at the little skinship, but he didn’t seem to notice. You mentally slapped yourself for making yourself look so stupid in front of the school’s kingka.

“Yoo Hyeyi right?…Hyeyi-ah, can I call you that?"

You looked up at him in shock. *Wait...this isn't right? ...he knows me? I mean he knew...he knew it was...me???*

"Y-yeh…?" you tilt your head, too caught up in your inner dialogue with yourself, you didn't even realise that you answered him in a questioning manner.

After observing you for the past week, Kai already knew what you were like. But seeing you act like this right in front of him, speaking to him just like the way he's seen you speak to your best friends, just felt so much more different from watching you from afar. Unknowingly his insides was bursting with a strange feeling of happiness.

“Kai, just call me Kai”

“Kai….sshi"

Even the way you say his name made him overly happy, though he prefer you to just drop the formalities.

You looked down at the ice cream and your bottom lip, you were actually dying to take a bite but something about eating in front of a kingka made you feel very uncomfortable. Kai noticed how you kept staring down at the ice cream, he sat down on the swing next to you.

“You should eat it, before it melts”

He gently smiled at you. You looked at him but then immediately avoided eye contact and took a bite of the ice cream as you awkwardly looked around at pretty much everything, but him. Whilst Kai had his eyes locked on you only. *Cute.*

“So, have you been enjoying your sweets lately?”

Surprised by his sudden question, you internally rambled on *err...my sweets? So they were for me? Wait...what? But that's not how it's supposed to be?! I'm so confused now. So...I was supposed to apologise, maybe pay him back and then, THE END. We both go back to our seperate lives and there! That's my happy ending. But now what? Before it even started: MISSION FAILED?? ...then what the hell am I supposed to do now? ...ugh. Stupid Exo K, stupid Kai. Why does it have to be you?! Oh my God. Talk about MENTAL BREAKDOWN!*

"Hey, you ok?" 

Again, you got too carried away with your inner dialogue that you didn't even realised you went into a daze and somehow smudged some ice cream on the corner of your lips in the process.

“Huh? Oh right...yeh.”

Kai looked at you affectionately and leaned in towards you, his gorgeous face inching in. *Woahh~ what is he trying to do now?!!* Your heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was going to jump right out of your chest and your body remained frozen in position. His hand caressed your rosy red cheek as he wiped away the ice cream on your lip with his thumb. He leaned back into his original position and tenderly smiled at you. You blushed and turned away, mentally cursing your heart that was refusing to calm down. *Ok...I'm overreacting...just calm down, calm down now~*

“Those sweets…they were from me"

Completely forgetting about your crazy heart and red cheeks, your eyes slowly meets his, blankly staring at him. *Well you don't say~ I worked that part out by now, thank you very much. Coulda told me like...I don't know, when I got the post it! That way I coulda avoided this whole mess! ... Oh if only you weren't one of the school's mighty kingka's, I would have walked out on you five minutes after I done my fair share of explaining.*

"So, y-you're saying that..." pointing at him as though you only just clicked on "...k...K??"

You widen your eyes and parted your lips. Kai let out a little laugh which allowed you to mentally give yourself a good pat on the back for the great show you're putting on *...the things I have to do to survive*

"You really never fail to amuse me...I don't know if you remember but those sweets, I saw them in your doodles...detention class?" He teasingly asks.

Your eyebrows furrowed in genuine confusion, but then you suddenly recalled...

His eyes travelled down to your doodling. Only to see drawings of sweets and ice creams as well as the bold capitalised names of some of your all time favourites, filling up a double page spread in your notebook. He couldn’t help but let out small chuckle at your unexpected childishness. Hearing his chuckle, you looked up at him, your eyes meeting his…your eyes narrowed as you realized he was laughing at you. After slamming your notebook shut, you shoved it into your bag and quickly made your way out of the class.

Ok, now you're really shocked.

"Ah! It was you! ...y-you were sat next to me!"

He nodded, once again watching you in amusement. Your cheeks turned red, this time in embarrassment. *So he saw my doodlings? Oh gosh...he must think I go all cookie monster on sweets, which means it wouldn't be cookie monster...'cause clearly I'm not about the cookies...but anyways...He saw my doodles?! OH. MY. GOD. What the hell was I thinking~~?!!! ...Sweets! DUH! What else do you think about? Yoo Hyeyi, you idiot. idiot!!!*

The vibration in your pocket brought you back to your senses,

You gasped at the message and checked the time, jumping off the swing. *It’s already half six!*. You looked over at Kai, awkwardly scratching the back of your head. You kept fidgeting as you spoke.

“Err…it was nice talking to you but…I-I really need to get going…so er…s-see you in school? Ha...Ha…bye”

Without waiting for a reply, you started to run off. Kai looked bewildered by your actions but shot up from the swing when he realised you were leaving.

“W-WAIT!”

You came to a sudden halt at the sound of his voice and slowly turned around. Kai let out a sigh of relief and made his way to you.

“I..er..you see, I actually called you out to ask you something…”

You looked at him curiously.

“Hyeyi-ah…I've been watching you for a while now. I know this is might seem out of the blue, but will you be my girlfriend?”

He looked at you expectantly as he waited for an answer. You froze on the spot. Your mind was having trouble processing the information. *Did I just hear right? A kingka asking me out? Ok this is getting way out of hand now...should I just tell him the truth?? I mean this is clearly not what I had in mind!*

You look at him not knowing how to start "look, Kai...I-"

The moment was once again interrupted by another text message.

You apologetically looked at Kai.

“I’m so sorry…I really need to go…s-sorry”

As you were about to run off, Kai grabbed your wrist before you left again.

“If you accept me, come back here tomorrow…at the same time.”

You searched his eyes *is he...* unable to find any impure intentions in his sincere eyes *...he's serious.* Just wanting to get out of here as quick as possible, you cautiously nodded in response.

Thankfully, he released his grip on you. You took one last look at him before bolting off. 

That night, you didn't get a wink of sleep at all. Instead you spent the whole night thinking about your little moment in the park with Kai. Occasionally you pinch at your cheeks to see if you were dreaming, hoping that it was all just a fragment of your imagination. Yet underlying all that, you could also feel a certain giddiness. It's not everyday a kingka would take notice of you, not to mention confess his feelings.

Morning rolled by, and you got up with dark circles under your eyes. You sigh at your unappealing reflection in the bathroom mirror and proceeded to carry out your usual morning routine. After getting dressed for school, you applied some concealer under your eyes which perfectly hid the dark circles. Looking at your refreshed self in the full length mirror, you let out a self encouraging sigh to prepare yourself for the day ahead, adding a little 'fighting' before you left your bedroom.

Once you got to school, you noticed everyone glancing over at you all the time...this is unusual. You walked into homeroom and was greeted by a very annoyed Minyoung and looks of disapproval from Suji.

“So…do you mind telling us where you were afterschool yesterday?”

Minyoung asked, her voice full of authority. You gulped, never would you ever like to face an angry Minyoung. Suji sighed, she too was annoyed but she knew what Minyoung was like when she’s angry so she had no choice but to interrupt Minyoung’s interrogation.

“Someone saw you with Kai at the park near school, the whole school knows about it…Hyeyi-ah we’re worried about you...you know what his fangirls can be like”

You looked at Suji in shock.

“Someone saw us? Well it's not like..." your mind flashbacked to Kai's reason for meeting you yesterday, “…I've been watching you for a while now. I know this is might seem out of the blue, but will you be my girlfriend?" Causing you to finish of your sentence, each word weighing down your sense of guilt which you shouldn't even be feeling "...there's anything going on between..us"

Suji and Minyoung noticed the hesitance in your words and gave each other a knowing look. For the first time, the whole class had their eyes on the three of you, only turning away when the teacher walked in.

Minyoung sternly spoke. “We need to talk later”, she sat down in her seat. You felt a lump in your throat. You didn’t dare to speak back to an angry Minyoung.

During lunch, instead of heading to the canteen like usual - thanks to the unwanted attention of other students - the three of you found an empty area of the school's garden, sitting on the benches. You told them everything that happened yesterday, from receiving the lollipop and note, to when Kai suddenly popped up and how you came to realise you're own misunderstanding of the whole situation, and then he just had to go for the all-kill and popped the question, asking you to be his girlfriend. 

Suji looked at you in shock but Minyoung remained unfazed. “So? Did you accept him?”

You looked into Minyoung’s sharp eyes and shook your head. "As if...I still don't even understand how I got myself into this mess"

You turned to look at Suji and then told them what Kai said to you before you bolted off.

“If you accept me, come back here tomorrow…at the same time.”

Minyoung let out a heavy sigh, clearly annoyed with the fact that Kai approached you yesterday without her and Suji knowing.

“You’re not planning on going are you?”

Suji looked at you hoping you’d say ‘no’ for your own sake.

Unable to see Suji’s hinting eyes you cautiously spoke. “I-I don’t know…I feel so bad if I don't, he looked so serious about it”

Suji mentally facepalmed herself, for having such an innocent friend, she hesitantly looked at Minyoung.

“Yah!” Both you and Suji jumped at the sound of Minyoung’s voice.

“Yoo Hyeyi, are you not aware of that stupid reputation of his?!” She frustratedly ruffled her hair, messing it all up. “He’s a playboy, for god sake!”

Suji joined in, but spoke in a calmer tone.

“Min-ie is right, Hyeyi-ah you’re only gonna get hurt in the end…that is if you accept to be his girlfriend.”

You looked at the two of them, biting your bottom lip.

“But...I-”

Minyoung didn’t seem to want to hear anymore words from you at the moment. She interrupted you before you could reason with them “I expected you to know better than this” she said in a disappointed tone and walked away to calm herself down. That one sentence made you feel so bad and you felt your heart sink. Suji turned to you with a comforting look.

“Don’t take what Min-ie said to your heart, you know what she’s like. She can be quite protective and strict but in the end she just cares for you a lot.”

"I know~ I just..."

“Hyeyi-ah, no matter what I just hope you would think about this carefully. We might not exactly support the idea of you and Kai being together…but whatever your decision is, we’ll respect it and we’ll still be there for you.” Suji gave you a short comforting hug and left you to think on your own.

For the rest of the day, you were unable to concentrate in class. You just didn't know how to explain yourself to your best friends, it's just all a misunderstanding.

You never said you were going to accept him, but Minyoung was already too annoyed by this whole idea, she didn't even want to hear his name from you.

*Maybe I should downright reject him. Let everything return to normal as soon as possible.*

The bell signalling home time loudly rang.

You open your locker, thankful that there was no sight of any sweets in there. At least he's not pushing you to accept him. As you close your locker door, you receive a text from Suji, stating she and Minyoung would be heading home first.

Sighing at the message, you look up to see that all the students kept pointing to you and whispering amongst themselves. *And this is what happens when you get involved with the school's royalties, Exo K*, awkwardly trying to avoid the constant glances, you decided to just go straight home. *Just forget all about yesterday, forget all about those sweets, they were nothing but a yummy treat anyways. Who knew things would turn out like this?*

...you say but the moment you stepped out of the school grounds, your every steps felt heavy. Approaching the crossroad, you wanted to just casually turn left towards home like nothing else bothered you, but instead found yourself stopping, gazing down the road on the right. *Once he sees that I'm not there, he'll just leave anyway right? ... I'm sure he would* you nod to yourself and decisively make a left turn, picking up your pace, when another thought entered your mind *...but if I just reject him like this, would he really leave it at that? ...what if I hurt his pride and he suddenly decides to like hunt me down?*

Your thoughts kept jumping back and forth and before you even realised it, you found yourself at a very familiar park.

"You came!"

Looking up, you see Kai stood by the swings the two of you were sat at yesterday. You watched as a wave of relief settled into him, and boyish grin lit up his face.

Throughout the years you spent in school, you've always heard all the other students gossip about his playboy ways. How he'd hook up with all these different girls every day. And he had such a horrendous dating history too, none lasting any longer than two weeks. Heard his last relationship ended so badly, the girl couldn't even bare to see his face anymore and ended up transferring to another school.

Yet right now, the boy in front of you looked nothing like a playboy. They say your eyes are the windows to your soul, and everytime you look into his eyes, you see nothing but genuine feelings towards you. No matter how you look at it, his eyes holds no traces of insincerity in them. The way his eyes sparkles as he looks at you and how a bright smile lights up his face everytime he looks at you. If anything, you see a innocent childlike charm in him.

Seeing him like this, you suddenly felt incredibly bad that you were so close to just leave him hanging...not that you came here with good news either. You awkwardly spoke, "about that...I- I didn't exactly come to accept you"

You bit your lips as you watched his shoulders deflate, when his lips suddenly spreads into a small assuring smile "it's ok...you still came"

"Yeh" you almost whispered "I...just didn't want you to wait here for nothing"

"Thank you"

"Hm?"

From the moment you arrived, his eyes never left your face. It was such a gentle gaze yet it felt quite piercing coming from him. You couldn't help but to feel nervous around him, conscious of your own movements and how he'd see you.

"I didn't actually think you'd come...I mean I did ask you out of the blue. I won't even blame you if you thought I was just some random weirdo" he shyly rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes looking away from you for once.

You smiled but quietly mumbled your thoughts out loud. "How could I when you're so famous in school?"

Your words took him by surprise but amused him nonetheless, "haha...right"

Widening your eyes in realisation, "I said that out loud?" you again, quietly mumbled your thoughts to yourself.

"Yep, you did" Kai answered for you, growing more amused by you.

Awkwardly standing there, silence enveloping the two of you, you decide walk over to the swings, taking a seat. Kai followed after you, observing as you nervously bit your lips, your hands fidgeting with one another on top of your lap.

"I should be thanking you too...for the sweets. Well...I was supposed to apologise about that, but nevermind"

"Apologise?" he adjusted his body to see you better.

You looked at him, wondering to just tell him the truth. Maybe he'd think less of you if you told him what you were like.

"...yeh...honestly speaking, I~ didn't actually think that those sweets were for me...I just thought that someone misplaced them in my locker"

"...but you ate them anyway?" he asks, his asmused smile growing wider by the second. 

"Well! That's where the apology was supposed to come in! Ok~?" you raised your voice, defensively.

Kai looked at you and bursted out into laughter. His laugh sounded so childlike, it was rather taunting to listen to in this situation. Your cheeks were already burning in embarassment.

Clutching onto his stomach, he continued to ask "wait...so what was you thinking when you got the note?"

Parting your lips, feeling speechless you bitterly mumbled "...well turns out they were for me anyway, so does it matter?"

...

The next day in school, Suji was still the same old Suji whilst Minyoung looking quite grumpy from yesterday. The three of you walked down the corridor, other students were still gossiping about you but you just ignored them. Their whispers suddenly got louder, causing you to look behind wondering what's up with them. When you looked back up, you realised that Kai and the rest of Exo K were at the other end of the corridor, walking towards your direction.

As he walked past you, he flashed you an amused smirk which you responded with a scowl, though a glint of playfulness was evident in your eyes. On your side, Suji and Minyoung took note of that short second of interaction between you two whilst on his side, Baekhyun looked you up and down curiously. After the group walked past you, you could hear Sehun, the supposed maknae of theirs, loudly whisper "hyung! It's the rumoured girl!"

"What the heck was that all about?" Mintyoung questioned.

After you came clean with your side of story yesterday, Kai just wouldn't stop laughing at you and teasing you. Now after that little chat session at the park, you may not be his girlfriend but it's safe to say that you're at least friends right now. And that's exactly what you told Minyoung. Smiling as you casually answered "oh, don't worry. We're just friends. Nothing more."

Who would have known that, that one phrase gradually came to bite back at you. Afterall the two of you befriended one another with you being fully aware of his feelings, so it's no surprise that from that short friendship, one thing led to another.

A/N: Well I was only supposed to do a few tweaks here and there but somehow ended up rewriting the majority of it haha I guess I was annoyed that I made Hyeyi too shallow in the original oneshot lol
