We Met.
That afternoon. The same exact time arrives, again. He wishes, and wishes.
Like the flowing wind, he wishes to disappear that instant.

“How many times do I have to tell you” he shouts back.
“I don't know. Tell me,” a whisper escapes from the other boy.
“Fuck it. You will never understand.”
“Then make me.”

He looked at the boy who just shows up at the class late. His eye smile let the professor said nothing but a nod. The boy proceeded to sit at the back, a couple of rows behind him.
Cute, but not my type, he thought.
He couldn't imagine the damage he would've given to the cute guy so he dismissed any unnecessary thoughts and focus to old man who's trying his best to do his job.
College life sucks already.

Someone purposely coughed a little loud beside him. A silent hi escaped from the other's mouth.
“We went to high school together. Do you.. remember me?” the other asked.
Donghyuck finally fixed his vision to the other. Oh. That cute guy.
“Sorry, I don't” Donghyuck replied trying to maintain his tone.
The cute guy smiled awkwardly. Donghyuck thought it was pretty. He's pretty.
“Well then... I'm Jeno. We actually never had a class together, but I recognize you. You're Donghyuck, right?”
Fuck, that's sexy, Donghyuck thought. He barely remembers his classmate let alone a stranger he shared the same school with for years.
Besides, he knew his name. That's another point.
“Yeah... yeah... it's Donghyuck, my name”
The other smiled widely back at Donghyuck. His eyes turned into like some crescent moon but prettier. He smiled with his entire face, Donghyuck couldn't help but let a blush creeping on his face. His heart skipped a beat or maybe two. He cursed under his breath.
“Thank God. It's nice to have someone I know on the first day” Jeno replied.
But we barely know each other, oh boy what do you mean. Donghyuck mentally noted this boy is too pure to the world.
“Yeah, Jeno. It's very nice knowing you”
“Do you wanna grab lunch together?”
Fuck, he's so smooth.
“Love to, Jeno”

“To be honest I couldn't catch the professor's name”
“Makes sense since you came late”
“On the first day of school”
“Exactly boy. Mentally noted you were that type of guy”
“What type?”
“Breathtakingly beautiful but have zero manners whatsoever”
“Hey, I just came late to class, not breaking any serious law”
“Sorry sweetheart, but I'm that judgemental. You learn something new today”
Jeno laughed, again with his (goddamn) eye smiles. Donghyuck too, couldn't help let the small giggles out. Donghyuck enjoyed Jeno's company so much. He didn't expect it would turn out like this, but he couldn't ask for anything else.
They didn't realize they've spent almost two hours sitting there, been throwing cute nicknames at each other, lowkey compliment here and there, and oh God they're almost late for their next class. Someone send help, please.
