Chapter 1
It's Okay, It's Love
Being a senior and a member of the Student Council had its perks. For someone who didn't have many friends like me, knowing names were good enough — especially when my classmates decided to turn our English class into some gossip session or something. At least, I wasn't so left behind.
Okay, back to my story. Being one of the Student Council members also meant knowing Kim Joonmyeon, or better known as the Suho. He was a nice guy and an extremely handsome one. Well, he and his eight other friends were so handsome that most of the students treated them like royalty. Nobody, I repeat, nobody who didn't know about them — even the teachers, I suspect, took some likings into them. Well, as of myself, I knew about them but I didn't go into some crazy fangirl mode upon meeting them in the hallway or something. And, well, there was one of them who I thought was hot enough to make it into my list. Kim Jongin, yeah that was the guy.

"Haneul, can you help me to put these boxes in my room?" Joonmyeon asked me one fine Student Council's meeting day.
"Your room? You have a room here in school?" I asked back, looking up from my notebook.
"Ah, you know, the room where my friends and I always hang out." He chuckled.
"Oh, that room. Okay. Do you need me to do it now?"
"That'd be great." He smiled as he handed me a pile of boxes.
"I'll get going then."
Joonmyeon and his friends had this one lounge room where they usually hang out during break time or whenever they were free. That room had everything, like seriously. Well, considering that Joonmyeon and most (if not all) of his friends were the top donors for this school, that wouldn't come as a surprise.
The pile of boxes weren't that heavy, but its height kinda blocked my sight. Before entering the room, I tried the knock a few times just to be polite. No answer. I figured that the room must be empty. Well, that was great because I didn't want to risk a chance to bump into one of Joonmyeon's friends and be stuck in a room alone with them (because that would be plain awkward).
When I entered the room, I spotted an empty coffee table so I immediately went for it. These boxes were getting heavier by the passing second, I didn't know why. As I walked towards the table, I didn't realise there was actually a person sleeping on the couch. His feet were dangling off the couch and it made me trip. I didn't even get to put the boxes nicely on the table. They were all over the place. It was so embarrassing that I didn't realise I cut my right knee as it hit the edge of the table.
The noise I made must have woken up the sleeping prince because I heard him grunting before he sat up.
"Can you please be quiet? Can't you see I was sleeping?" He said in a voice thick of sleep and a tint of anger.
"I'm sorry. I was just trying to put these boxes here." I said, not daring to look back and keeping my hands busy arranging the fallen boxes.
"Are you sure you aren't one of those fangirls who purposely tried to sneak in to look for us?" He asked sarcastically.
Silence. What am I supposed to say back to him now? Why is my tongue all tied and everything in front of him?
"I'll take my leave first." I said, finally mustering every ounce of courage to face him.
Goodness, it was Kim Jongin. My Kim Jongin. I mean, the Kim Jongin who made it into my list.
I guess, I made a mistake by looking at him because my cheeks betrayed me in the instant my eyes landed on his dark eyes. I blushed, which, of course, didn't go unnoticed by him.
I didn't waste anymore time and immediately headed for the door. I needed to get out, to get away from him. But before I was completely out of the room, I cleared my throat and faced him, again.
"Just for your information, I fell because your long legs were in the way. So it wasn't entirely my fault that I disturbed your nap." I blurted out honestly.
He looked at me as if I just ate a rotten banana or something, but just how did he manage to still look so adorable? Okay, I didn't just say that.
"You know what? Never mind." I quickly said and went out of the room.
My heart was beating so fast. What did just happen? I asked myself.
