You walked into class and, out of habit, glanced at the seat he usually took. He wasn’t there yet.

Still, you didn’t let any hint of emotion show on your face. You simply walked to your usual spot, somewhat far away and sat down, making sure not to give away even the slightest sign that you were paying attention to him.

No one in this class was from your department, so you didn’t really know anyone. To avoid looking awkward, you just kept scrolling on your phone, pretending to be busy. Then, as the door opened, you instinctively looked up, only to see him. Song Mingi had arrived.

You quickly averted your gaze, acting like you couldn’t care less as he walked in and took his usual seat at the front. Your eyes dropped back to your screen, but your focus had already gone elsewhere.

It wasn’t until class started and the professor began lecturing that you allowed yourself to steal glances his way—under the excuse of paying attention. You weren’t even sure if it was love at first sight or if he was just that handsome, but either way, you couldn’t take your eyes off him.
