every time you glance at jungwon, he's already staring. not in a creepy way — well, maybe a little — but mostly in a “i-know-something-you-don’t” kind of way. it’s unsettling. you look up from your notes, bam — jungwon. eyes locked. smile suspicious.

you try ignoring him. doesn’t work. even when you throw your pen on purpose to the other side of the room (classic distraction technique), he still manages to be watching when you crawl under someone’s desk to retrieve it.

you ask your friend if you have something on your face. spinach? glitter? a mysterious aura? they say no, but also, “he’s totally into you.” you scoff. as if.

next day, you catch him doodling in his notebook. curious, you sneak a peek. it’s... a stick figure. labeled “you.” next to another stick figure. labeled “also you but in a hat.” what does it mean??

you consider confronting him. but what would you say? “hi jungwon, why do you look at me like you’re plotting to steal my lunch and my soul?” yeah, no.

so instead, you just keep glancing. and of course — he’s still looking.

and weirdly... you start kind of liking it.

ugh. annoying.

but kind of cute.
