Chapter Text
It was almost 8 in the morning. Zhang Hao was waiting for the bus to arrive, he hated waiting. He lowkey hated his college life too.
He lives in a small rented house far from his uni building, that was why he had to wake up early and waited for the bus. He looked at the clock on his phone, he sighed, the bus was late by 5 minutes. No, he wasn't afraid of getting late because he knew he'd still arrive before that class starts. He was just tired. Zhang Hao just wanted to go back to his hometown and living his life with his family. Still, he had to survive college because he didn't want to disappoint his family.
He was annoyed that he had to stand alone waiting for bus, looking lowkey miserable. His fingers were busy typing and scrolling, checking social media, and checking his class schedule. He liked some of his friends' posts, it made him smile a little. He was grateful for his close friendsㅡGyuvin and Gunwookㅡthey are his mood maker and made his college life more entertaining.
He plugged in his earphones then he clicked on one of his favorite song, Stay by Gaho. As the song started to play, the bus arrived. He immediately entered the bus and muttered thank you to the driver.
The bus is always half empty. He went to the back seat near the window, it's his favorite seat. It was comfortable because there weren't many people around him, the elders always take the seats near the bus door.
Except, that one guy.
The one guy that always takes the same bus as him and sits in front of him.
Well, it wasn't necessarily important to him but he found it a bit strange that he started seeing that guy since one or two months ago. He was pretty sure that the guy didn't live around here, or maybe that guy just moved here recently?
Zhang Hao shaked his head. He wasn't trying to be a stalker, it just made him thinking where that guy came from because there aren't many people know this bus line unless you live around here.
Also, that guy seemingly go to the same university as him. Zhang Hao was wondering and curious because he never seen the guy's face.
Curiosity.
Yes, Zhang Hao was curious.
Back to Zhang Hao, he didn't get enough sleep last night because he had to revise some of his works. That also added to the reason why he looked grumpy early in the morning. He pouted his lips, he felt like not wanting to go to class today. Because that meant he had to meet a lot of people and do many conversations to them, he was too tired for that.
So it irked him that he kept glancing at the guy in front of him, wanting to talk to him when he didn't even have enough energy to say hi.
Maybe it was because he could see the guy's side profile, he noticed that the guy likes to wear varsity jacket and always busy doing something like writing or typing on his laptop.
Zhang Hao likes to watch him when he's focused, he could see his smooth cheek or when his eyebrows furrowed. He found that adorable.
No. Zhang Hao didn't mean to staring at the guy.
Zhang Hao huffed, he couldn't believe himself for observing the stranger in front of him. He knew he couldn't bring himself to talk to the guy.
He fought with his own thoughts. He is just an ordinary college student that developed a new habit, watching the good looking guy in front of him. It wasn't supposed to be a big deal, right?
Actually, it was a big deal.
Because sometimes the guy glanced back at him and Zhang Hao didn't know what to do, it was too embarrassing that he had to act like he was looking outside the window. He looked too obvious, it made him cursed internally.
He hated college life. He hated this bus line.
And he hated how he panicked whenever the tall guy looked at him.
Zhang Hao was deep in thought that he didn't notice the bus had arrived. He quickly got his bag and stepped out of the bus.
Shit.
He lost that guy. Again.
It naturally became a habit to try to guess what faculty or department that guy from but he always missed the chance. He wondered if that guy even on the same year as him, what if that guy's older? Or maybe younger?
Zhang Hao mentally had to slap himself for keep thinking about that guy. It wasn't the time for those thoughts.
He already set his goal for tomorrow to find out which faculty that guy is in. He just needed to be more careful and watchful.
Let's just hope things would go smoothly.
It couldn't be that hard. Right?
