Summary
Suhyeok’s heart lurches. He stills himself, stopping the beam that wanted to escape his whole being. He puts his arms around his knees, and squeezes them forcefully. “Huh,” he says, trying for normalcy. “I’m different, yeah?”
He licks his lips, feigning nonchalance. He tries his best to stay still, just as if she hadn’t just made him melt like human ice cream. Namra reaches for his hand, grasping his with her own. He hopes that even after all this ends, their hands will still be the same. Together. Intertwined. Forever, and ever.
“Yeah,” she whispers, then squeezes his hand.

Summary
Namra points soundlessly, moving her finger towards and away her own lip so he can see.
It’s the first time she’s ever acknowledged him. He’s transfixed.
‘Blood,’ her pink lips move to mouth.
Startled, Suhyeok pats his finger against his own lips, pulling it back to confirm that, indeed, he is bleeding.
“I, uh,” he stumbles, still staring at her with wide-eyes. “Fighting. I got it… from a fight,” he says the latter weakly, and gives a thumbs-up to prove that he’s perfectly fine.
(Or, It takes Suhyeok a bit too long to realize he's friends with Bad People.)Inspired by this prompt:
"Bridge the gap between Su-hyeok-who-hangs-with-the-school-bullies to Su-hyeok-newly-reformed-school-boy-going-to-school-in-his-blazer, possibly influenced by a certain model student who happens to be very pretty."Series

It's Friday, I'm In Love by timetaker (VincereDiem)

Summary
“I’m being serious. I like you a lot,” Namra insists. Her thumb strokes the spaces between his knuckles. “You don’t have to worry. Not at all.”
Suhyeok smiles knowingly. An ambulance passes by, its horn blaring. He asks again, this time more softly. “Do you want me to write you one, prez?”
Namra thinks about it, and thinks about it. Suhyeok probably wouldn’t like to write her a love letter. She knows he detested anything that had to do with writing. He hated essays with a burning passion, often groaning about the influx of essays for that one literature class they had in their freshman year. That semester, she spent a good amount of her time going through his essays with her red felt-tip.
She didn’t want him to write, not when she knew he didn’t like to. It would be a pain and a bore for him.Someone keeps sending Namra love letters, and it’s not Suhyeok.

Summary
I wanted to help, and I reached out my hand, settled it close near the ribbon tied between them, and I watched, felt, and stared as my heart crashed within my body, as it plummeted down into a chasm of nothingness, as Suhyeok sent a look so cold and distrusting and not-Suhyeok-like at all, and seized Namra’s hand, pushing their hands backward between them, hiding her smaller hand with his bigger one, protectively and firmly and fiercely, as if I was stealing something from him something so precious and invaluable and rightfully his, his, his.
(And I thought, just for a very, very quick moment, so quick that it barely even stayed in my head – as I stared at Suhyeok holding onto Namra’s thigh, his other hand cradling her back as she perched dangerously at the open window – if a boy would ever love me as much as Suhyeok loved Choi Namra.)
