SCHOOL CULTURAL FEST –
The corridor was empty.
Justin and Eric stood so close there were barely a few inches of air between them.
Eric leaned in a little more…
Justin's breath hitched…
And from far away—
Emily: "Hii gu—"
She froze. 😶
From her angle…
it looked exactly like they were kissing.
Emily: "OH. MY. GOD!!!" 😱
Her scream echoed.
Both boys jerked apart instantly.
Justin panicked.
Justin: "I—I didn't— Emily, I just— I miss my mom! SAVE ME!" 😰
His heart was racing so fast he felt it might explode. ❤️❤️❤️
Eric clenched his jaw, irritated.
Eric (pov):
Seriously? I was THAT close.
This girl… I'll deal with her later. 😤
Emily waved her hands, face red.
Emily: "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! You guys continue!!"
—then ran away like a rocket.
Eric stared after her, then turned back to Justin—
—only to see Justin's entire face completely red.
Eric: "Pfft—" 😭😂
"Your face looks like a tomato."
Justin blinked.
Justin: "Huh?"
He touched his cheeks and felt the heat.
Eric burst into louder laughter.
Eric: "Seriously, stop— I can't breathe—" 🤣🤣🤣
But Justin didn't hear anything.
Because for a moment…
in the sunlight…
Eric looked even more beautiful.
The messy hair.
The sharp eyes.
That stupid but lovely laugh.
Justin's blush deepened.
He grabbed Eric's wrist suddenly.
Eric: "H-Hey— what—?" 😳
Without a word, Justin pulled him along, dragging him toward a quiet spot behind the auditorium where no one ever came.
Eric stumbled after him, mind spinning.
Eric (pov):
Oh, so you DID get seduced.
I knew it. Who wouldn't fall for me?
You're just a hungry little boy… like the hungry adults in dramas. 😏
He smirked to himself.
Justin didn't look back once.
But his ears were red.
Very red.
