Ji Ho remained silent, obediently following Do Yun's instructions to sit beside him.

  "That's it," Do Yun decred, leaning back against the wall.

  A quiet moment passed between them as Do Yun closed his eyes to rex. Ji Ho took the opportunity to gaze at him.

  "Ji Ho," Do Yun called out.

  "Hmm," Ji Ho responded.

  "Let me know when you grow tired of staring at me."

  "Uhh!"

  Do Yun opened his eyes. "I know I'm good-looking, but don't stare too much. You're giving me goosebumps." he joked, smiling.

  Ji Ho looked away, feeling shy and embarrassed that Do Yun had caught him looking.

  "I wasn't staring at you," Ji Ho retorted, trying to cover up his shyness by taking out a note from his pocket and reading it.

  Do Yun gnced at Ji Ho. "Are you serious, Ji Ho?" He took the note from Ji Ho's hand and read it. "You're studying science now."

  Ji Ho pouted. "Hmm...exams are coming up, and I want to do my best."

  Do Yun smiled. "Ji Ho, you always give your best in every subject, and I admire you a lot for that. You're a top student, Ji Ho. Take a break. Too much studying will only cause stress," he advised, folding the note and pcing it on the nearby table. "We're here to rex now. Got it?" Do Yun patted Ji Ho's head in encouragement.

  Ji Ho gently removed Do Yun's hand from his head and he expined, "I'm not the best, Do Yun. I struggle with science. My dream is to become a doctor. If I'm weak in science, how can I achieve my goal? so I need to work hard."

  "Ha, you want to become a doctor. That's wonderful. You're perfect for it," Do Yun replied, impressed.'

  Ji Ho sighed, "Hmm."

  "Do Yun noticed Ji Ho's tense expression and advised, "Don't stress too much. You look worried."

  Ji Ho asked, "You can see that?"

  Do Yun nodded, "Yeah, it's written all over your face. Are you okay? I've never seen you this stressed."

  Ji Ho hesitated, "Well..."

  Do Yun encouraged, "You can tell me, Ji Ho. I'm here to listen."

  Ji Ho expined, "I have a tutor because I struggle with science. If I don't do well in the upcoming exam, my father won't cancel the tutoring. But if I excel, he promised to end it."

  Do Yun was surprised, he scratched his head in disbelief. "A tutor? Are you serious? Then I should probably hire ten tutors for myself!"

  Ji Ho sat down, feeling overwhelmed. Do Yun approached and asked, "Are you okay, Ji Ho? Don't push yourself too hard."

  Ji Ho replied, "I'm fine, but I want to do this."

  Curiosity filled Do Yun's eyes as he asked, "Why?"

  Ji Ho blurted out without thinking, "So that... so that I can go on a date with you."

  "Uh!" Do Yun is shocked by the unexpected answer. his eyes fixed on Ji Ho, searching for an answer. "What? Ji Ho, what are you saying?"

  Ji Ho let out a sigh, gathering his courage. "You asked me before, but I couldn't go because of my csses. So, if I work hard and get good grades, then maybe I can finally go out with you." He expined.

  Do Yun's voice softened as he reached out and held Ji Ho's hands. "Ji Ho... Are you doing all this for me?"

  Ji Ho smiles and replied, "I want to make you happy, Do Yun. I want to give my best for you, just like I promised."

  As they locked eyes, Do Yun remained silent, processing Ji Ho's words.

  "Do Yun," Ji Ho says, reaching out to hold his hands, "I'm doing this for you because I don't want you to be the only one giving your best. I want to bring happiness to your life as well. I've already promised to make you feel comfortable." Ji Ho says with a smile.

  Ji Ho looks at Do Yun, who remains silent, gazing into Ji Ho's eyes. Do Yun's heart starts to race.

  'What is happening? Why is my heart racing like this? This is so strange. I've never felt so flustered before. It's not like me.'
