School afternoons...always filled with noise. Lockers slamming shut, people laughing, and hurried footsteps in the hallways. But for Seonghyeon, everything seemed distant whenever he saw you. He didn't know when it started. It was like an obsession. Maybe it was one day in gym class, when he looked up from his friends and saw you tying your hair back. Or perhaps when he noticed you always ended up sitting near each other, exchanging quick glances that meant nothing to you. He tried to ignore it, but there was something about you that stole his attention without permission. Amidst all the voices and laughter, his mind could only focus on one person: you.
One day, during recess, you were talking with your friends near the court. Seonghyeon was with his friends on the other side, pretending to listen while actually watching you.
"Are you listening?" a friend asked, pushing him.
"Hm? Ah... yes," he replied quickly.
But it wasn't true. Just then you looked up and your eyes met. It was only for a second. You looked away first, because for you it was just that. But Seonghyeon remained still, his heart beating faster. He couldn't help it. No matter how hard he tried to focus on something else, his eyes always ended up searching for you.
That same day, as you left class, the sky was orange with the sunset. You were walking alone when you heard footsteps approaching.
"Hey"
When you turned around, you saw Seonghyeon with his hands in his pockets and his hair disheveled by the wind.
"Are you going home?" he murmured, somewhat nervously.
"Yes... why?"
There was a brief silence and then he started walking beside you.
"Well... I want to go with you."
For a few minutes no one spoke. Only his footsteps and the leaves rustling in the wind could be heard. Until he said
"You know... I can't concentrate on anything else, or anyone else but you. Whenever I try... I can't."
