Persistent Heart
Monday came, Mihyun and Lay both did a great job on their class presentation that morning and their professor was proud of them. At the break, the four girls celebrated Mihyun's success outside in one of the benches under the shade of the trees. Jisoo blurted out her concerns because she will be the next to have a class presentation next week together with Suho.
"So how is it working with Suho, the rich boy?" Jungbin nudged Jisoo's shoulder, teasing her a bit.
"Suho's okay." Jisoo muttered. And for a moment, they all thought her friend's cheeks were turning pink. "Well, we haven't started yet. I mean, I'm intimidated by him because you know he's rich and all that, not to mention he looks like a bratty rich son at that. I kinda shy asking him to work on our project. I feel like I should be the one doing it for our sake without bothering him."
"Hey, don't be like that." Mihyun patted her hand. "You're suppose to work together. You're partners, right? This is a two-brain work, not a one-brain work."
"You think so?"
"Of course!" Miso chimed in.
"Yeah, Mihyun's right." Jungbin added.
"Uh, guys speaking of the devil," Miso muttered softly, barely moved. "The rich boy's coming over."
"Hey," Suho greeted with a smile as he finally approached them.
"Hello, Suho-shi." The girls greeted in harmony. They could be a church choir for that.
The smile on his face was still there when he looked at Jisoo. "Hey, Jisoo-shi, I just want to know if you are available tomorrow so we could, you know, go into the library and do our project."
Jisoo's lips was slightly ajar but no words came out, Jungbin had to nudge her again. "U-Uh, y-yeah. I am. We can start tomorrow. It would be great." She smiled.
"Yeah, I thought so too." He rammed his fingers on the table as if he was drumming or something. "So see you then. I mean..yeah, we're classmates so it's expected we see each other. Okay, I'm mumbling. So yeah. Bye." He saluted before he went away.
"He's cute." Miso sighed as she watched him walking away.
"Close mouth. Saliva's dripping." Jungbin chirped as she grabbed her bubble tea from the table and sipped from the straw.
"Well, it's good that he asked me first." Jisoo sighed with relief. "I would no longer feel intimidated in approaching him." She said and Mihyun patted her shoulder.
