Pairing : Cya(Onewe) X Reader
Description : you were paired up with this quiet boy in your class for an art project. turned out, he had a hobby that included playing the bass guitar and maybe..producing some original songs.
You stared at the namelist your teacher had posted in front of the class. Looking back and forth between the name and yours beside it, you subconsciously scratched your right ear.
Who in the world was Lee Giwook?
The art class you were in was an elective. Hence, not everyone in your grade took it, leaving the class with only a handful of students. That was why you were a little puzzled when you saw an unfamiliar name on the namelist. You weren't even sure whether there was anyone in your class who went by Giwook. You thought of asking your teacher about it after class.
Tearing your eyes away from the namelist, you headed back to your seat. Class was about to finish anyway. You decided you might take a quick nap to pass the time. It wasn't like your teacher had anything more to add to the lesson.
As you were about to pull out your chair, you felt a tap on your shoulder. You paused for a bit before turning your head to the person who tapped.
No name registered in your head when you saw the boy who stood in front of you. He had his hair covering his eyes so you couldn't properly see his face.
“Yeah?”, you asked cocking an eyebrow at him.
“You're Y/N, right?”, he adjusted the strap of his canvas bag before shrugging his shoulder.
“Mhm..”, you hummed in response. Who was this boy?
“Ah, are you Lee Giwook?”, your face lit up when realisation struck. He nodded. So he was your partner for the end-of-year art project.
“Were you always in this class? Cause I swear I've never seen you before”, you asked while dragging an empty seat for him to sit. You were genuinely curious.
“About that..I'm a transfer student but I've been in this class for two months now”, he explained sweeping some of his hair away from his face.
Finally, you could see his eyes. It'd be a lie if you said he wasn't attractive. He had petite pink lips, the cutest nose and eyes that twinkled. Not to mention, dude had the babiest of baby face. If you could, you wanted to pinch his cheeks hard.
Snapping out of your thoughts, you gave him a guilty smile, “Please don't kill me but I didn't know you existed until now”, you clasped your hands as if begging him for forgiveness.
He chuckled before lowering your hands on the table. “It's pretty normal I guess, I don't really..make myself known to others”, he bit his lips while tracing the doodles scribbled on your table with his painted nails.
“Well,” you placed a hand on his shoulder, “we're gonna be stuck together for the next half of the year”.
Hearing those words came out from your mouth, He lifted his head to look at you. Only problem was, he was looking at you with pouty lips. Just like that, you felt heat rushing under your cheeks. Oh boy.
You cleared your throat before holding your hand out to him, “Let's get to know each other”.
That turned out as a kept promise as the two of you slowly became friends.
When he said he 'didn't really make himself known to others', he wasn't lying. You wouldn't have noticed him in class before because he'd always be in his zone. Even when he was two seats in front of you, it was as if no one was sitting there. He would silently listen to whatever your teacher instructed and make his art in peace. Sometimes, you would stare in his direction whenever you were stressed out with a piece and instantly you'd be engulfed in a calming warmth.
That was who Giwook was. He was quiet. He was reserved. He was your friend.
You'd learned a lot about him during project meetings in school. And he, you. You even dared to say that he was your first ever true friend.
Sadly, your growing friendship wasn't enough to make your art project go away. Almost everyday, you had to stay after school with Giwook to finish a part of it.
The topic was on 'Evolution', so the both of you had decided to focus on the evolution of music. The plan was to create a live installation of how music had progressed over the years. There was going to be big paintings placed behind one another depicting the different eras in history. When people walked between the paintings, they would hear various genres of music being played through different speakers. The idea came from Giwook. You thought it was brilliant.
Few months in, the two of you were sitting under a random tree eating lunch and discussing about your art project. The different eras paintings were done. The only thing left to do was the music. Giwook suggested doing the planning at his house because he had a keyboard and a bass guitar.
“Wait a minute”, you placed a finger on his lips.
Your sudden gesture surprised not only you but him too as he had stopped whatever he was doing. He had his chopsticks in mid-air and his mouth was full of chicken. You giggled silently at the sight of him. Baby Giwook really needed a bib. Barbeque sauce was almost smeared all over his whole face.
“Did you just casually mention you having a keyboard and bass guitar at home?”, you asked him while gently wiping your finger and his mouth with a tissue.
“Mhm”, he hummed reaching over to take another drumstick from the box.
You slapped his hand away.
“Ow, you could bring your guitar over too..”, he whined as he gingerly rubbed the hand you had slapped.
You smiled at him as you took a bite from your sandwich. How did he even know you had a guitar at home?
