You stared straight back at him and, once more without thinking, said: “If you’re sorry, how are you gonna make it up to me?”

You could have bit your tongue off. Why did it let out the first thing that came to your head?

Jongdae chuckled, a husky sound that reverberated in the stale library air. “Wow, _____-ssi. Never quite realised how sharp your tongue is before.” He leaned in closer. “I don’t see how it’s my fault if my eyes distract you. I didn’t pick them out, although I am glad you like them. But I’ll try to make it up to you if you want.”

Those beautiful eyes of his that had started this whole conversation scanned your face.

“H… how?” You asked, really biting your tongue now to stop the stutter. Since you were already going this way you might as well continue. Not to mention, Jongdae seemed to be perfectly fine with where this conversation was going. Normally you thought of him as a bit cute and nerdy but right now he simply radiated hotness. It was as if your words had flipped a switch, exposing you to a different, way ier side of Kim Jongdae. The thought warmed your cheeks once more.

“Hmmm… how indeed?” Jongdae muttered, his gaze now resting on your lips.

Wait for him to act (15)

Decide this is going too fast and say: “H...how about you buy me something to drink?” (16)
