I immediately finished my assignment and after that, I fixed my things and hurriedly shoved them inside my bag. "Jaeshin, slow down." Bora said, following my speed.

I zipped my bag shut and wore it. "I-I have to go. I still have to help Mom with some chores. See you tomorrow." I smiled at Bora and left the library.

Just when I left the library, I heard Nox say, "Jaehyun hyung, wasn't she weird?" I paused near the door and Jaehyun chuckled again, sending butterflies in my stomach. "Maybe she's just in a hurry, Nox."

I sighed, which came out trembling, and I continued my way down the building. The wind was cold outside but my face felt so hot. I didn't bother to go to our store and just went straight to our house.

I greeted Dad who was in his usual spot and hurried to my room. I threw my bag on my chair and slumped on my bed. I wiped my palms on my face and sighed, trying to calm my beating heart.

"Does having a crush on that guy a big deal?" I asked myself. I hit my head with the heel of my palm. "Stop.. stop thinking of him for one moment, Jaeshin." I told myself and repeated it again and again.

I failed not thinking about him. I sighed. "Well, looks like you're not gonna sleep for tonight." I said, meaning by Jaehyun. He'll be running a marathon in my head all night.

Yesterday, Kino oppa told us to bring a copy of the periodic table, and I did bring one. I went to school and went straight to the room. I was the only one there and right after I stepped in, Yuta followed behind.

Later on, our classmates started pouring in. I was busy studying the periodic table in my hands when Yuta and Jay started talking near me. "Who would our Math teacher be?" Yuta asked.

"I heard it was Jaehyun hyung, from Class IV-A." My ears immediately went hot. Ugh, I hate the fact that I react when I hear Jaehyun's name. "Oh? But why him?" Yuta asked. "He's good at Mathematics, that's what I heard."

Without knowing it, I just nodded. "Jaeshin, are you okay?" I looked at Yejin who was looking worriedly at me. I nodded again. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" She pursed her lips and leaned closer to whisper. "You're acting weird ever since you have a crush on Jaehyun oppa."

Maeyoung, who was in front of Yejin, turned her head at us, a smirk on her lips. "Ooh. I heard you have a crush on Jaehyun oppa?" I rolled my eyes, feeling my cheeks hot. She clicked her tongue. "Don't be too flattered, Jaeshin. Your kidney."

The three of us laughed and Kino oppa went inside to discuss.

Lunch came and me having a crush on Jaehyun oppa was already out on the room. Maeyoung has connections with the noisy boys of our room and it accidentally slipped her tongue.

They started to tease me but Yejin glared at them and told them to back off. Yejin is the most feared in the room and no one dares try to mess with her, not even the boys.

We gathered on our table and started unpacking our lunch boxes. Maeyoung suddenly cleared her throat and gave me that look. Next is Yejin then Younghee, Kira, Bora and the rest of my girl classmates. "Ehem, ehem. Behind you." Bora said, almost in a whisper.

I sent them glares and slowly turned my head. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Jaehyun was behind me. He was buying his lunch and unfortunately or fortunately, the counter was behind me.

Jaehyun also turned his head behind me, making his gaze drop to mine. He flashed a small smile and I immediately turned my head in front of me. The girls tried not to squeal but failed eventually.

"Jaeshin, what just happened?" Younghee asked teasingly.

"Confess already." Bora whispered. I clicked my tongue at her and she just gave a good laugh. I didn't mind their comments and just ate my lunch.

Why does he keep on smiling at me like that? If only he knew.

After dismissal, I went to the library again if he's still there tutoring Nox. When I got there, he was already teaching the little guy one to one hundred. "Ninety-nine, one hundred! I made it, Jaehyun hyung!"

Jaehyun smiled widely, revealing his dimples. What the heck, I didn't know he has dimples. Jaehyun clapped with Nox. "Woah~. Nox already knows how to count." He said and ruffled Nox's hair.

I looked away from them and went inside the library. I sat on the same table Bora and I occupied yesterday. I used my notebook to cover my face. I glanced at them minute by minute.

"Hey," I jumped on my seat and turned my head to Bora. I gave her a glare while she has a teasing smirk on her lips. She pulled a chair and sat beside me. "Are you now stalking Jaehyun oppa?" I covered her mouth.

"Lower your voice," I glanced at Jaehyun and Nox and thankfully, they're busy in their own world. "I'm not stalking him." She took my Winnie the Pooh notebook. "Then why was this upside down?" She asked, still smirking.

"Can you shut up for one minute, Bora?"

"Okay, but just one minute." I groaned and I closed my notebook. It made a noise, making Nox and Jaehyun turn their heads on our direction. Nox immediately went back to writing something down his notebook while Jaehyun..

For the nth time, he smiled again at me.
