“Hey Jongho, can I talk to you?”

“Would you like to have a staring contest with me Jongho?”

The moment she cracked under the pressure and admitted defeat, Jongho broke into a smile and laughed as well. He didn't want to tell her that she'd almost had him with the faces she'd been pulling, but he'd very nearly been the first to fold. "You brought it upon yourself," he told her, still smiling. "It was a valiant effort on your part, though. I think next time you may even win."

“Would you like to have a staring contest with me Jongho?”

Jongho knew his gaze could be rather intense when he was focused on something – in some ways it could even be intimidating. There was a small part of him betting on that to help him win, but she didn't seem to be shying away at all from looking directly into his eyes. Impressive, and gave him more time to look at her without being thought of as weird.

Jongho sighed as he stepped into the art classroom. Despite being one of the top players for the university's soccer team, there was always a part of him that had been interested in the arts. So, when his academic advisor told him that he needed to choose an elective that year, he decided it was his chance to pick an art class.

Jongho chuckled at their words and bowed his head slightly. "Thank you for your confidence in me, seonsaengnim." Taking a bite of the sandwich he'd gotten, he laughed again. The way they spoke, and their personality in general, was refreshing to him. "Do you come to the soccer games then? I can introduce you to anyone on the team as payment." He was only half joking – he did appreciate their help and if introducing them to boys counted as repayment, he would gladly do it.
