@shin hoseok. Putting on his book bag as well Minseok nodded and with a small smile he grabbed the others hand his smile widening as his original excitement started coming back. "Okay! Follow me then I live in the dorms close by." With another gummy smile Minseok started pulling the snake out of the classroom and in the direction of his dorm he was still fighting the urge to just let his instincts take control and just run away but nothing bad happened so far and he hoped that it will continue this way. Once they reached his dorm Minseok unlocked his door a bashful smile making it's way onto his lips as he kicked a shirt out of the way. "I'm sorry for the mess I was running late this morning." Chuckling embarrassed he stepped aside to let Wonho in going to the living room to set the cage that the teacher gave them before he left for the project. "So uh..ready?"

@kim minseok. Shrugging his shoulders Wonho managed to sling the strap of his book bag over his shoulder and watched Minseok with mild interest. The other seemed to loosen up a little and, to be honest, that was the most progress Wonho had ever made when speaking to a person that wasn't his parents. He smiled a little more, still conscious of hiding his teeth before speaking again. "I don't mind. I was actually hoping to start today anyways." he replied, running his fingers through his hair before nodding his head in the slightest. "It'd be easier to start it now than later. It makes sense." Bringing his hand back down Wonho put one in his pocket while the other held onto the strap of his bag, pushing down the happiness he started to feel bubbling inside his chest.

@shin hoseok. When Wonho smiled Minseok felt as if a weight was being lifted from his shoulders as if he could breathe again he nodded holding onto the strap of his book bag firmly Minseok stood up trying to brush his lingering fear away. "W-well we can go to my place and start on the project then if you don't mind. Unless you wanna do it somewhere else that's okay too or if you wanna do it later I don't know but it would be nice if we can start today, I mean it would feel easier to be together in a cage in a more uh homey situation?" Minseok knew he was babbling and he wasn't making much sense but he was still nervous and didn't know what to do his brain felt fried.

@kim minseok. Blinking as the class started to move, people trying to talk to their partners and others walking out of the classroom, Wonho moved to take care of his own things. However, he froze as he heard a voice next to him and looked up to see the same person from before. Faintly remembering the teacher talking about partners he did his best to give a close-mouthed smile. He didn't want to make the other even more afraid with his sharp teeth. "I'm fine with anything, really." he replied, nodding his head and turning away to finish packing up his bag. "This is the only class I have for today so my schedule is open." Nodding his head again, the snake finally stood up from his chair and pushed it in before facing the other again. In the back of his head Wonho was truthfully hoping they could somehow become friends, but with the way things were right now it didn't seem like that would be happening anytime soon.

@shin hoseok. Minseok paid close attention to the teacher jotting down notes when he needed to his movements froze though at the announcement of the partners for the semester-long project his heart skipping a beat from fear. Minseok tried to not be obvious as he glanced at the snake biting down on his lower lip to not let any whimpers slip past him he turned back to his notebook taking a deep breath to calm his nerves slowly collecting his notebook and pans as he gave himself a peptalk while putting his stuff into book bag. Gathering the courage to finally turn around and face the snake. "So uhm Wonho...do you wanna start on the project right now or later? I don't have any classes after this how about you?" Although his voice was a bit shaky Minseok hoped he sounded normal enough to not show how scared he was, he just wanted to get through this project safely and with a good grade.

@kim minseok. As he turned his head to look around the classroom Wonho noticed someone coming down the aisle to sit. His eyes flashed yellow for the briefest of seconds as a small panic went through him. However, the other only mumbled a greeting before turning away from Wonho, leaving him to stare for a moment before returning to his own things. He should have known things would happen this way. They always do. Instead of letting his hopes get up any higher for someone to talk to him, he only silently watched as the teacher entered the room. The hour continued to drag on, Wonho not nearly as interested as he noticed the person next to him was. However, he knew that excitement was about to deflate when he heard the teacher announce partners for this years semester-long project.

@shin hoseok. When Minseok checked his watch he sighed in relief that he made it to class just in time stepping into the classroom he practically radiated excitement this was his favorite class and he loved being in it. Greeting a few of the students Minseok made his way to the middle row hesitating when he saw the snake sitting at the end his instincts already telling him to run but his brain told him to go on so with a hesitant smile he sat down next to the snake mumbling a small hi to afraid to look at the other in the eye quickly focusing on the teacher when he steps in his excitement quickly returning.

@kim minseok. Wonho entered the classroom without a head even turning to look at him. He was glad no one decided to approach him, but they could at least acknowledge his presence, couldn't they? Instead of making a big deal about the snake only sighed and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose before finding somewhere to sit. The room was in the layout of a lecture halls, rows of seats and desks that kept moving farther up. Wonho decided to sit somewhere in the middle, towards the end of a row where no one else seemed to be sitting. It was a quiet spot and he enjoyed that much as he took his supplies out of his bag and prepared for the class ahead.
