Recently you started obtaining a small crush on the ‘nerd’ at your school, Choi Beomgyu. He was known for being a nerd and a loner, but you didn’t mind that. In a way, that’s kind of why you liked him so much. Since he kept to himself a lot, only talking to a few selective friends, you assumed he wouldn’t be that type who got a girlfriend then immediately cheated on her.
Well one day in class, you were sitting there doing nothing. It was an easy day in said class but was also one none of your friends had. Letting out a small groan, you pulled a book from your backpack, also grabbing your headphones so you could focus a bit more. However, after a few minutes of picking and choosing a song, you couldn’t help but overhear someone's conversation. It was him. How could you possibly manage to like this boy, and not even realize he was in your class?? Though after a moment of finding yourself stupid, you couldn’t help but hear a joke he made. Making the mistake of laughing, his friends glanced at you weirdly, gaining their focus back to Beomgyu shortly after.
Putting your head down on your desk, you couldn’t help but feel that slight tinge of embarrassment, where your stomach sunk. Was it a public place? Yes. Were they talking relatively loud? Also yes. But there’s also that point of listening in on someone else's conversation, maybe slightly coming off as rude. God that’s just what you wanted the guy's friends to think about you. A weirdo who listened in on their conversation. Solid.
After that excruciatingly long and embarrassing class, however, you leaned against your locker attempting to seek out one of your friends to tell them about what had happened. But, the world had other plans for you.
“Dude, she actually laughed at your joke!” One of the same voices from earlier said as your head peaked up from interest.
“I know! She like, somehow laughed at my joke!” His voice was awed as his friend punched his shoulder.
Were they, talking about you?
