Chapter Four

Library

Hayan and Hajin are at the library for an hour at this point yet Hayan couldn't focus because Hajin's sitting right in front of him, smoothly perusing a book and composing something on his notepad. He's as of now lost count at the number of times he's taken a look at him.

H-he's so close... It's unbelievable.

Hajin at last turns upward and gets Hayan gazing at him. He quickly becomes flushed and peers down. Hajin streaks a grin.

"Is there something wrong?"

Hayan shakes his head and skims the book, freezing. They've been hanging around for an hour at this point but then he hasn't done anything! He quietly chides himself for acting that way and attempted to think however much he can. Yet, he can't resist the urge to take a look at Hajin occasionally.

"I discovered an article earlier," Hajin said and showed the book to him. He unwittingly inclines nearer as he attempted to clarify the article he recently found. "What do you think? Is it useful? Or not?"

Hayan, then again, neglected to think once more. Hajin's so terribly near him, he could smell his cologne and he could see his face.

H-he's truly close... I can see his face clearly, his eyelashes are so long... His skin looks so delicate... I-I want to touch it...

Hajin got surprised when Hayan gradually came up to touch his face. He must've realized what he recently did, he quickly eliminates his hand and stands up in shock, the seat making an uproarious commotion procuring him an admonition from the administrator.

"I-uh...I..." He attempted to concoct a reason yet he fizzled. What he did was truly embarrassing and awkward. He's reluctant to take a look at Hajin's face any longer and see what he resembles at this moment. He saw his hand that just contacted his face before and fled.

"Hayan!"

I need to go. I need to be away from him! What did I do? You're so embarrassing, Hayan!

He wound up at the seats at the nearby park, far away from the library, far away from Hajin. He sits on one of the seats and moans noisily.

Why did you do that? For what reason did you touch his face?

He shook his head, his face consuming from the humiliation of what he just did before. He can't fail to remember the expression all over yet he was unable to get what it implies. Is it accurate to say that he is disturbed? Astonished? Both?

I'm certain he feels awkward at present. He gazed upward and saw the black sky. I will not be surprised if he doesn't want me as his partner anymore.

He moaned once more. "You must be crazy, Hayan." He murmured. "How should I face him now?"

He wound up gazing at his hand once more. He may be daydreaming however he could in any case feel the glow of his cheek on his hand. He rapidly shakes away that idea. "You're insane, Hayan! You're insane!"

Not very long after, Hajin will at last discover Hayan sitting on one of the seats. He moved toward him discreetly and cautiously.

"Hayan.."

Hajin recoiled in shock. He stands up and steps back. "H-hajin..."

"We left our things at the library. It's already late, we can continue this tomorrow."

What?

Hayan gazed at him with a befuddled look all over. He is by all accounts OK with it. He's shockingly... quiet. With that, he at long last felt harmony and gradually gestured, as yet making an obstruction between them. I would prefer not to mess up the same way.

Hajin grinned at him and turned around. He at long last got the fortitude to apologize now that he's not taking a look at him.

"H-hajin... I'm sorry... I-I truly don't have a clue as to why I did that."

Hajin gradually convoluted and strolled at him, then, at that point he halted only a couple creeps from one another. Hayan swallowed.

He's nearby once more... How would it be advisable for me to respond?

He was going to venture back when Hajin gradually put his right hand up and accomplished something that shocked Hayan.

He touched his face. Very much like what he did before. Hayan gazed at him wide-looked at.

"Now we're even," Hajin said, grinning generally at him. "Shall we go?" He pivoted and began strolling, leaving Hayan astounded and shocked.

Hajin... Hajin just touched my face.

-

Their head back home was calm and awkward. It's awkward just for Hayan. He could feel his heart pulsating so quickly that he's terrified Hajin may hear it. Never in the course of his life that he envisioned that this would occur. Strolling one next to the other, their arms nearly brushing against one another... He brought down his head when he feel his cheeks consuming. Good thing it's dark, Hajin will not see his face, or that would amount to his humiliating experiences with him.

"Oh, by the way," Hajin out of nowhere said, halting right after them. He then, at that point fished out something in his pocket. "Would you be able to give me your number?"

"Ha?"

"I will search for articles online later and on the off chance that I discover one I was considering sending it to you so you could see it as well." He gestured.

Of course, it's about school. What were you thinking, Hayan?

"Then, I'll text you if I discover something," Hajin said, smiling. He contemplates whether he at any point becomes weary of smiling. His cheeks should sting such a huge amount from smiling that much.

"Then, C-can I text you too if I find something?"

Hajin snickered seeing his stressed face. "Obviously!"

They kept strolling in silence again until they halted at a convergence.

"Where are you heading? I'm coming this way." Hajin asked and pointed across.

"I-I'll go this way." He answered, pointing to the opposite side.

"Is that so? Then, see you tomorrow." He waved at him farewell before getting through the intersection. Hayan strolled again when Hajin was at last far away from him.

He abruptly feels light, similar to something exceptionally enormous that has happened to him. However, it's too much for Hayan. He's certain that he will forget this day.

He didn't even realize that he is jumping and singing while walking at the same time.
