"Ms. Han, I'm sure you are well aware that our class started 15 minutes ago." Her History teacher, Mr. Kwon said through forced smile once stepped into the class. 

'Oh, dear sweet lord, don't let me deal with this monster too...' she thought as she gave him a sheepish smile. "I'm extremely sorry for my lateness, Mr. Han. I promise you there won't be a next time," she said with a bow. Mr. Kwon nodded and ushered her to sit. 

She sighed in relief before plopping down on her seat. Beside her, Yerim stared at her with expectant eyes and she rolled her eyes, knowing fully well that she way going to be bombarded with questions from her friends.

"Hey, don't give me that look! What did Sehun want? Why did you run away like that?" She whispered as she nudged Iseul, forcing her to tell her. It was not everyday that a hot guy decided to talk to her best friend anyway.

"Ugh, give me a break. I'll tell you after this class. Wouldn't want Mr. Cranky to give us detention," Iseul mumbled under her breath as she pointed towards her History teacher with her eyes.

Yerim huffed and folded her arms over her chest as they listen to the class, trying hard not to sleep and fail the subject.

Iseul sighed, wondering what did Sehun want from her. Why would he suddenly take interest in her because this was just so confusing to her. Sure, she had guys crushing over her but Sehun, telling her that he liked her was just weird.

She knew he had his own share of ex girlfriends but they were nothing like Iseul. His past girlfriends were usually y, pretty and brainless. Not that she was not pretty, Iseul was quite confident with her looks but she was sure she was not his type... right?

Time went by in a blur that when Iseul realized it, it was already the end of her classes for today. She excitedly packed her things, ready to spend her time at home watching sappy drama with a tub of vanilla ice cream. She was also glad that Yerim decided to spare her with all the explanation, saying that she had to go to the teacher office to ask about the literature assignment. She didn't forget to make her promise to tell them tomorrow though.

She hummed a song as she slung her bag over her right shoulder before walking out of the class, greeting her classmates goodbye with a happy smile. 

Her happiness did not last long though, not when she saw him leaning against a wall by her locker. Her smile faded and her steps faltered. She gasped as she stood there, completely frozen for a good thirty second before she took a step back. 

Quietly, she turned towards her left, wanting to make a run (because a legend once said, when things don't go right, go left) but just as she took a step towards the exit, she heard him calling out her name.

"Baby, there you are!" He said with a grin once she turned to face him. He had a huge smile on his face as he jogged towards her. If the students were not paying attention before, they definitely did pay attention now. 

The students were glancing at them in confusion because Oh Sehun just called the untouchable princess with endearment!

Iseul groaned and silently prayed that a hole would open up in the floor and swallow her. She quickly walked towards her locker, trying to ignore him because there was no use of running away anymore. 

Well, not when he just called her that in the damn hallway. What did he want anyway. Was it not clear enough that she had no intention to go out with him? 

She grunted as she placed her books in the locker before slamming it shut. Sehun placed his arm over her shoulder as he smiled at her, a smile that usually would make all the girls swoon over his handsomeness, but Iseul was far from swooning, if anything, she felt like kicking this guy and tell him to off.

"Oh, come on! I really wanna take you out, you know? Give me a chance and i'll prove you this date will be worth it. I never disappoint when it comes to the girl I like," he said with a confident smile. Iseul sighed. Sehun actually had the audacity to grab her hand before intertwining their fingers together. 

She groaned but her eyes couldn't help but to glance at their intertwined hands, secretly liking how small her hand look in his bigger one. She felt warm inside but she chose to ignore it. 

She was not dumb to fall into his trick and become his plaything. 

"Fine. Just this once, but if you try to do anything funny, just so you know that I know taekwando." She said with a huff.

"Of course, princess. 

"Where are you planning on taking me, anyway?" She said with a raised brow. She was not going to play it easy with him. If it was true that he indeed liked her, he was going to get it easy.

Sehun smirked, "It's a secret. Don't worry though, I'm sure you will love it." He said as he leaned over and tugged at the seatbelt on the side before pulling it across her body to the buckle. 

Iseul froze at the distance between their face and he chuckled, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

"Stop being so cute because I already feel like kissing you," he whispered into her ear before starting the car as if nothing happened. Iseul groaned, mentally smacking herself for being so weak against him. 

The drive was not as awkward as she thought it would be. Sehun always had something to say and she secretly thanked him for that. It was comfortable at least with the radio softly playing in the background.

"What do you plan on majoring in college?" He asked as he glanced at her, one hand on the steering wheel and the other rested lightly on the open window. 

"I think I'll go with Fine Arts. How about you?" She was actually curious about it too now that he had mentioned about it. He did not seem to be the one who enjoy studying, not that she was judging him.

"I love dancing so I guess it's anything related to that." He said with a genuine smile on his face. Iseul replied with her own as she noticed how his face lit up at the mention of dancing.

"You must really like dancing, huh."

"Yeah, it is one of the thing that I enjoy doing in my free time. But it's not only dancing that I like, you know?" He said with a cheeky grin that Iseul couldn't help but feel her heart thump wildly seeing his face.

"H-huh?"

"I like you too," he said as he reached for her hand and held it in his, his eyes still focused on the road. 

Iseul felt her cheeks warmed and her stomach felt all the fluttery inside, despite the comforting thumb drawing circles on her knuckle.

"Oh, shut up."

It turned out, Sehun was bringing her to a coffee shop. It was decorated with a finely arranged bouquet of beautiful flow
