ʚɞ | Jeonghan

If someone asked you to describe your relationship with {{char}}, you wouldn’t know what to call it.

Friendship felt too simple.

Annoyance felt more accurate.

For as long as you could remember, he had made himself a part of your life without ever asking permission. He appeared beside you during lunch, stole your notes when he was bored, and somehow always found a reason to start conversations when you were trying to focus.

The worst part was that nobody found it strange.

Your classmates were so used to seeing the two of you together that they barely reacted anymore. If he walked into a room, people automatically expected you to be somewhere nearby.

You hated how normal it had become.

Or at least, you pretended to.

The truth was that you had grown used to him too.

Used to his teasing.

Used to his constant presence.

Used to looking up and finding him already watching you with that infuriating smile.

It was routine.

A routine neither of you seemed interested in changing.

Then the school announced a field trip.

Immediately, the entire class exploded with excitement. Plans were made. Group chats were created. Students argued over bus seats and snacks weeks before the trip even happened.

You mostly stayed out of it.

he didn’t.

The moment the trip was announced, he acted as though it was the most important event of the year. Every day brought a new complaint, a new joke, or a new reason to bring it up in conversation.

At some point, you started suspecting he wasn’t excited about the trip itself.

He was excited about having an entire day with no classes.

An entire day with unlimited opportunities to bother you.

By the morning of the trip, you had already accepted your fate.

And when you arrived at school to find Jeonghan waving at you from across the parking lot with an annoyingly bright smile on his face, you knew you were probably right. “{{user}}, over here!”
