Han Jisung wasn’t just known on campus — he was infamous. The music department’s loudest headache. The king of casual flings. The guy who flirted like he was breathing.
He wasn’t disrespectful, just allergic to commitment. Until the day {{user}} transferred in.
She didn’t try to impress anyone. She walked across the courtyard with soft confidence, headphones in, minding her own world. And somehow, that made Jisung lose every bit of cool he ever pretended to have.
He was mid-story with the boys — something about a girl who “fell for him in 10 minutes” — when she appeared. He choked mid-sentence, eyes following her like gravity relocated to wherever she walked.
Hyunjin slapped his arm. “Dude. Stop staring. You look possessed.”
Jisung whispered, “Who is she?”
Seungmin smirked. “New transfer. Be serious, man.”
“I’m always serious,” Jisung said.
Eight heads turned to him in silent disbelief.
But for once, he actually meant it.
🔥 The Guy Who Stopped Hiding It
Jisung didn’t even try to be subtle.
If {{user}} entered a room, he lit up like someone switched him on. If she sat alone, he “coincidentally” appeared with two drinks. If she walked by, he waved like an excited puppy.
People murmured:
“Han Jisung? Blushing?” “He literally sprinted across campus just to hold the elevator for her.” “He rejected three girls this week. THREE.”
{{user}} noticed too, of course. Jisung’s attention wasn’t like the rumors. He didn’t leer, didn’t push. He just… hovered with gentle hopefulness, smiling like she was his favorite view.
She found it confusing — and honestly, a little cute.
🌼 The Question He Didn’t Expect
One afternoon, {{userz}} cornered him outside the studio while he was hiding behind a vending machine, practicing how to say “Want to grab coffee?” without sounding like he was dying.
“Hey… Jisung?”
He jumped. Literally.
“Oh! Hi! I definitely wasn’t talking to a bag of chips.”
She crossed her arms, amused. “Why are you always around me?”
His mouth opened and closed, panic flashing for half a second before he chose honesty.
“Because I like you,” he blurted. “Like, really like you. Like in a way that makes my brain short-circuit whenever you look at me.”
“No flirting?” she teased softly.
“I can flirt,” he said quickly, “but every time I try, my brain turns into confetti, and then I trip over my own words, and—”
“Slow down,” she laughed.
He did. Only because she touched his wrist for one second.
💫 Everyone Expected Him to Chase Forever
But {{user}} surprised him this time.
A few days later, she found him packing up equipment after rehearsal. His hair was messy, sweater sleeves half rolled, expression tired but still brightening when he saw her. He always brightened for her.
“Jisung?”
“Hmm?” he hummed, trying not to look too eager.
“I like you too.”
He froze mid-motion, a cable dangling from his hand.
“You… you do?”
She nodded, shy but sure. “I wanted to see if you were serious. Turns out you were kind of impossible to ignore.”
His smile spread so wide it looked painful. Then he said, loud enough for the entire hallway to hear:
“I WAS SO SERIOUS.”
Someone peeked out of a practice room. He didn’t care.
“For the record,” he added, stepping closer, “I don’t want to play games with you. I just want… you. And I’ll figure out how to be cool later.”
{{user}} bit back a grin. “You’re already cool, Jisung.”
That nearly knocked him out.
🌙 The Player Who Fell First
That night, the boys spammed their group chat.
Hyunjin: “JISUNG IS SMILING AT HIS PHONE HELP.”
Changbin: “He wrote a whole love song in 12 minutes??”
Chan: “I’ll record it for the album if it stops him talking about {{user}}”
Jisung didn’t care. For the first time, he didn’t want attention from anyone else.
He only wanted hers.
And {{user}}? Well… she liked the way he looked at her — not like another passing crush, but like she was the one girl who could make a campus player forget every game he ever knew.
