Baekhyun stared down at the blank paper in front of him. . He totally didn't remember any of content of the topics that they had been covering in class for the past two weeks. Or more accurately, that HIS CLASS had been covering because Baekhyun hasn't been present during the lectures. 

Well, physically he had, but mentally he had been floating on cloud nine. Baekhyun stared hard and long at the paper as if miraculously the answers would appear if he just emitted enough cerebral energy. It's the effort that counts, right?

Baekhyun looked around. Everyone was writing furiously, in a speed of 5 words/s, as if their life depended on it. Not that it was far from the truth: it was the midterm exam and worth 50% of the grade.

It's not that Baekhyun isn't a good student. He is and he always has been, and literature class is actually the class he excelled in. He has a 120% average and has never scored less than a 100% on any literature test; it's just that for the past few weeks his mind had already been occupied by a certain person, making no room for Othello to enter.

The silky blond hair, those sparkly eyes, the shy smile ... Baekhyun's world had taken a 180 degree turn ever since the day he unintentionally shifted his attention on a particular student three weeks ago.

His name was Luhan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Baekhyun was to describe Luhan with one word, it would be water. There was a sense of liquidity surrounding him. There was something graceful about the way he moves, like water dancing among trees. The gentle way he spoke in his clear, melodious voice reminded of the sound of sparkly water when it sprinkles down the river. The way he easily avoided conflicts and effortlessly approached solutions mirrored the way water smoothly manouvers itself from one destination to the next.

But water can also be cold.
