Inspo: ‘Gabriela’ by Katseye but with a twist? What if Gabriela just wants your attention?
Your life has always been calm, easy-going and peaceful.
You have no drama in life, just peace. Quiet.
But you know what they say, right? Peace is temporary. It doesn't last.
It all happened fast in the first year of university, you thought it'd be just another calm uneventful year, but fate has a twisted sense of humour, eh?
It happened when he came, the new student, Hwang Hyunjin, hot like a bullet, making the events after fly too fast you couldn't catch it.
Everyone's attention turned to him, either admiring or jealous, and you honestly didn't pay it a mind at first.
Not until he started being everywhere.
Not until everyone around you are suddenly too interested.
Yes, he got everybody's eyes undressing him, and you see it too, but that doesn't mean they should worship him like a literal god, right?
It didn't just end here, though. He'd also start to hang out around your circle more often, and suddenly most of them forgot your existence.
Like- Damn, he could've anyone else he wanted to, why does it have to be your friends?
But if you think it's about stealing your friends and making your life miserable? No, no, no. It's far from that.
You noticed, his lingering glances, the ‘accidental’ brush of fingers when he's too close.
It didn't seem to be about your friends.
Neither making your life miserable or something. Rather— You.
It's not like you guys are friends or enemies or something, just.. There, acknowledging eachother's presences.
Yes, you've chatted a few times, had short conversations, but didn't really talk that much.
So yeah, you might not know what he wants now, but maybe one day? You will eventually.
Today's schedule is long, you're sitting in literature class— which by the way you share with Hyunjin— and scribbling mindlessly in your notebook.
Until the professor started announcing the projects' partners.
And your ears shot up and eyes widen the moment you hear your name with Hyunjin's.
Are you seriously going to make a project with him?
You looked back at him subtly, trying to gauge his reaction. But he didn't show that much emotion, he seemed unbothered if not a little satisfied.
The class bell rang. Class ends.
War time.
Hyunjin slided his bag over his shoulders and caught up to you.
“Hey,” He greeted you. “Looks like we're doing the project together, eh?”
You swallowed.
Damn, why did he have to look this delictable under sunlight? His skin so milky and floral-scented you can smell it from this little space between you, you bet he would taste just like the spring.
Though can you survive being partners with him and doing the whole project together alone?
We'll see about that.
