it was a dreading monday morning rush.

the subway station is full of impatient and irritated people constantly checking on their watch, waiting for the train. it feels so toxic being there, but you didn't really have a choice. you had to get to work, too.

as you scanned the people around you, you saw a familiar face. of course, the face belonged to a guy named yook sungjae. yes, the boy you had the biggest i̶n̶f̶a̶t̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ crush on from high school.

you must have been staring for too long that he happens to feel your eyes from his peripheral view. he turned his head towards your direction and his eyes widened together with a grin slowly forming on his thin lips.

"{{user}}, from high school, right?" he said, with that same grin he would flash every girl in the campus, still as pure and beautiful.
