@○ ⁞ jinyoung b 。 "not necessarily bothering," minkyung says, raising a hand to her chin, finger placed underneath her lower lip. "but it was quite distracting," she continues with a light smile. she lets her hand fall back down, moving behind her as she holds onto her wrist. "would you mind if i joined you here? i was getting rather bored," she says. she's already done with her work, as there aren't much to given to someone who already possesses quite a reputation within the hero industry — well, work relating to education anyway. she still gets plenty of tasks. "or are you the type to not be able to focus with company?"

@ʙ ⁞ minkyung k 。 the clicking stops immediately when he sees someone approaching him from his peripheral. he assumes that they must be here to tell him to stop anyway, but he scales back on that assumption when he glances at the individual. however, jinyoung doesn't know whether he should sigh in relief or freeze up out of nervousness. it was minkyung after all. he had known her even before he started attending the academy, and even if it was for a brief while, she had definitely left a lasting impression on her. jinyoung still had a bit of a soft spot for her, fueled by a crush from his younger days. "ah-" he can't help but smile sheepishly, trying to find the part he was missing in the problem. "oh found it, thanks. sorry, was the incessant pen clicking bothering you?"

@ᴀ ⁞ seonghwa p 。 Jungkook's face turned into a slight frown as he heard your words. You were right. It wasn't a good impression at all. "Sorry.." he said, grabbing his backpack and standing up, taking his book. "You're just cute.."
Which is why I s-stuttered. And I'm sorry..talking to people isn't easy, I wish it was" he said to you before bowing. "I'll take my leave," he said before walking out of the library into the courtyard.

@○ ⁞ jungkook j 。 "you need friends?" seonghwa had no idea what was going through the boy's mind. he couldnt place why the look was bothering him, other than feeling like he almost had a full on collision with a wild animal on the street. but the hero's tired gaze slipped away from jungkook after a moment, and a sigh left his lips as he processed what was happening. as the other stuttered through his explanation, seemingly lost with words, seonghwa looked up once more. "im sure you'll be able to find friends around here." he lifted his pen, gesturing to the room around him as if there were people, but it was empty. of course he meant the school grounds, but he suddenly wasnt so sure that the other would understand that. "just talk to people. though i'unno if you're gonna be all too good at that when you can barely even talk to me."

@ᴀ ⁞ seonghwa p 。 Jungkook looks over at you when you spoke, your gaze catching him off guard. His hand is clenched on a page in the book he was "studying", as he kept his gaze right on you when you did. He looks around and continues tapping his leg but when you spoke, he looked at you like a deer in the headlights and blinked. Your posture, your stance, and your gaze, was enough to make him flustered and so, he answered your question in his mind. "Friends. I need friends" was his response before he took a deep breath to calm himself down, taking his hand off the page only to find his sweat on it, which left a mark. He quickly fans it hoping it dries out quickly and you wouldn't notice, but to save himself from further embarrassment he quickly shuts the book, before shaking his head, eyes on the book, chuckling. "Yeah. Yeah. I um.." he blinks, but blanks out for a second before looking at you, a little daze filling up his vision, speaking with a light smile, "I came here...I'm kinda new so.." he clears his throat. Stalling wasn't helping. "I was just exploring the place..it seems pretty cool..and I like books so.." he stutters. "I-I don't really need anything..but just having some friends would be good," he says, before nodding.

@○ ⁞ jungkook j 。 "huh. okay." seonghwa kept his gaze on the other boy before turning his attention back to the book in front of him, pulling out his notebook and a pen to begin taking notes. he wanted to focus, he was really trying to, but the presence of someone else who was probably shy and softspoken, seonghwa couldnt. so he put his pen down, leaning over the table and crossing his arms over each other to rest on the table, looking up at the boy. "are you okay? are you sure there's nothing i can do for you? you seem like... you need something."

@○ ⁞ jinyoung b 。 the mindless clicking is distracting. minkyung lifts her gaze from her book, and she looks at the source of the noise. there's a look of recognition that washes over her visage when she realizes who the lad is, and she almost doesn't stop herself from looking amused at the way jinyoung's face completely shows his frustration and how he's fairing with his homework. with a light sigh, she stands from her seat and walks over to the man's desk, taking a quick glance at the paper. "oh," she says, eyebrows rising a little. "you're solving it wrong. you're missing one part of the problem."

@ᴀ ⁞ seonghwa p 。 Jungkook his lips and then swallows, moving his gaze back down to the book before stuttering, "n-nothing." He wasn't sure why he was so nervous. Maybe cause he found you attractive.
Pondering on his answer a second later, a red flush of embarrassment creeps up his cheeks, leaving a tint of red on his face as a result. At the same time it's happening, he looks away, shaking his leg. He moves his fingers enclosed on top of the page, gulping a little as he debated whether to leave and go to a different room or not. He felt like he was making the situation worse, or embarrassing you and himself, hence the debate.

@ʙ ⁞ minkyung k 。 what was it again? jinyoung sits there, pen in hand, looking like he has a thousand problems that needed to be dealt with. in reality it was only a few physics problems, but goodness were these problems difficult for the boy. had he been any more frustrated than he already was, perhaps a cloud would appear above his head and start thundering. thankfully that wasn't the case. however he was still on the brink of complete frustration, mindlessly clicking on his pen until someone has to remind him to stop. should he ask for help at this point? he wonders, but his pride stops him. instead, he continues to suffer as he crosses out his last answer and rewrites another one in it's stead.

@○ ⁞ jungkook j 。 seonghwa stood there for a moment, his brow still raised, a very unamused look on his face while the other seeming to just stare at him. but when the other boy moved, there was a brief moment when he felt bad, but that was over very quickly as he sat in the chair next to his bag, setting the book down on the table. flipping over the book, blinking a few times before his gaze slid back up to the other student. "can i help you?"

@ᴀ ⁞ seonghwa p 。 then back at you*

Jungkook looks up when you speak, his big eyes, and slightly open mouth, trying to analyze who you were. And whoever you were, my god you were pretty. But the last thing jungkook expects is being called out for his daydreaming, especially when something catches his eye. So when you say it, he quickly apologizes, "oh I'm sorry, I wasn't aware-" and gets up, moving out of his chair and sliding it back in it's place, before grabbing his backpack and walking to the other side of round table and sitting down. A random book open in front of him before he glanced at it, then back at it, arm resting on the table as the other rested on his lap.

@○ ⁞ jungkook j 。 seonghwa had placed his bag down in a chair before heading off to find the proper book he needed to take notes from. so when he came back, seeing someone sitting by his things, he blinked a few times and rolled his eyes. didnt people know that items in a spot were meant to hold their place? coming to the table, seonghwa cleared his throat, looking down at the other and raising a brow before speaking up. "that's my stuff, right next to you."

Jungkook sits in the study hall area, bored. He quickly scrolls on his phone, air escaping his mouth as his puffed cheeks deflated. He was bored. No one had talked to him for a bit of the time he has walked in the academy, so he was starting to feel a bit lonely. Until he heard a voice and turned his head, looking at the person who spoke up.
