Twenty One
There Is Love For EveryoneHigh school is officially over. University officially started.
Irene, Chanyeol, Sehun and Baekhyun attended the same university, which was great. Every morning, Chanyeol would drive his new car together with Irene and pick up the other kids. Irene would sit in the back seats and Sehun would sit on the back seat too, leaving the front seat for Baekhyun.
They would buy ice coffee and head to class. Chanyeol and Baekhyun took the same major as well as Sehun and Irene. Coincidence? More like fate.
To Irene, university was different than high school. First day of class, Irene found out so many boys were looking at her and she found it very burdensome.
“Why are they looking at me? Do I have something in my face?” Irene asked Sehun as they sat side by side in the classroom.
“Maybe that’s because you look amazing,” Sehun smiled.
“Stop it,” Irene giggled.
“I mean it,” Sehun laughed.
“Good morning class,” Irene and Sehun turned their heads to the front to see the professor who’s ready to lecture.
“First thing first, let me divide you guys into pairs.” He smiled and started calling out random names.
Irene and Sehun crossed their fingers, hoping that they would be a pair but it wasn’t happening. Irene was paired with a guy and Sehun was paired with a girl. With a heavy heart, Sehun stood up and leave Irene alone and walked to the girl’s seat. A few moments later, a guy sat beside Irene and smiled.
“I’m Sam, and you are?”
“Irene,”
“What a beautiful name, Irene.” He smiled. “You live around here?”
“Uh, no. My brother takes me here with his car.”
“Oh you have a brother,” He smiled, trying to keep making the conversation exciting.
“Okay guys, I see you all have met your pair, now what I want you to do is to find 10 differences and similarities. Start.”
“I guess we need to open up about ourselves a bit?” Sam smiled. “We have one thing in common, I also have a brother.”
Irene smiled, “I only have 1 sibling.”
“Me too!” Sam exclaimed in excitement and caught Sehun’s attention.
Sehun looked back and saw Irene was laughing together with the new guy he barely knew and he had a bad feeling about this person.
The time passed and the class is over. Irene and Sam still couldn’t finish the list they were asked to list. The professor gave them a second chance to submit them tomorrow morning.
“Do you have anything to do tonight?” Sam asked while helping Irene packing up.
“Uh, not as long as I remember.”
“Great!” Sam smiled, “Do you want to catch up on the list tonight?”
“Can’t we do it by phone?”
“That would just ruin the idea of this project right?”
“Uh. Right.” Irene awkwardly
