Chapter 39
Eliza's pov
I am hungry. How I wish I can go straight to the cafeteria counter and snatch a burger from there. Making us wait in the lunch hour is torture and to top it off right in front of the cafeteria is extremely tormenting.
Mr. Wesley asked all of the students under his wing to meet him to discuss about the upcoming research. One of the students is Nate and the other is Brooklyn. I have never talked to her before and therefore I have no idea if she is the friendly type or not. We have been sitting in the round table for about ten minutes and she has never opened her mouth other than to say a hi. Nate and I have been talking for a while and I decided to initiate a conversation with Brooklyn.
I saw her texting attentively, while her other hand was working with her hair, twirling it into soft curls. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. One word, she is beautiful. I was about to speak when a rich Canadian accent broke my attempt of a conversation.
"I am sorry for being late. I had a few papers to be checked and submitted." Jace Wesley, the head of our research team, came panting short of breath, and pulled a chair to sit down.
"So let us start shall we." He began and we all went through various topics that need to be covered, the requirements that are to be met with, the details that need to be submitted and all those necessary stuffs that we should complete to get a degree with a good score.
I tried to maintain my concentration on what he was telling even when my stomach was cursing me to give it some food. To my disappointment, my eyes caught a familiar built figure walking past our seats and sitting right across the seat before us, facing me.
Kim Seokjin. Seriously, out of all the days, he decided today to be the one to have lunch in the cafeteria, right before me, who is starving like crazy. And he knew very well about my intolerance towards hunger as he munched on the fries, his eyes fixated on me.
Involuntarily I let out a sigh, catching the attention of Jace as well as the others. Jace subtly turned and saw Seokjin who in turn gave him a pleasant smile. Jace mumbled a hi and then looked at me with a knowing smirk which luckily went unnoticed by the others.
"So I want all of you to let me know the topics you would like to suggest and I can choose the most ideal one. After that we can begin with the theoretical and practical study. I want you all to keep in touch with each other so it will all be much easier." He pointed out and dismissed the meeting.
Jace went straight to Seokjin who was going through his phone, while I went to the food counter with Nate to get some food. I didn't even see Brooklyn after Jace left, she just disappeared. Seokjin was looking at us every chance he got but then I didn't stopped looking once I got my eyes on the food. We waited for Jimin and Nara to join before starting to eat. Their meeting was shortly done and we all gathered around to have our much awaited lunch.

"What are we watching today?" I asked Seokjin as he entered my bedroom. We decided to watch a movie in my room. I personally like to watch movies in the living room so I won't be alone. And we both love spending time together. But I got a TV as a present on my birthday and I pretty much never really used it. We both planned to watch it together in my room and now that I think about it, it is way more comfortable than the living room couch.
"Let's pick a few movies and ask siri to choose one." He suggested. I nodded in excitement and we both chose around ten movies and numbered it in order and asked siri to choose a number from one to ten.
"A Walk To Remember it is then." I have never watched that movie and neither have Seokjin, so it was a win win.
The movie started playing and we got our popcorns and drinks ready. It was already 12 at midnight when it started. Because right before the movie I got a call from Nate and he had a few doubts regarding school and let's just say Seokjin was not happy about it.
We were half way through the movie and so far I loved it. Our foods were all done and the drinks too vanished from the cups. I decided I am going to watch TV on my bedroom now onwards, it is way too comfortable. The soft bed, getting all bundled up in the blankets and the blue vision light of the night lamp in my bedroom, everything just added to the perfect ambience of a movie theatre or better.
I looked up and saw Seokjin resting his head on the pillow, his one hand under his head and the other fiddling with the hem of the blanket. He saw me looking and gave me a warm smile which made me happier than the movie night we were having.

I opened my eyes feeling extremely fresh and cosy. The first thing my eyes landed on was my fingers laced with another long slender fingers. Then I was more awake and realised that the other arm was snaked into holding my body closer to a strong firm body. The warmth and the tingles were enticing and addictive, almost making me never want to let go off the comfort and security I feel. The smell of vanilla and cinnamon was adding more to the entranced feeling.
I tilted my head to look at the calm face, which let off an aura brighter than the pearly moon. His porcelain like skin and hair which covered his forehead and eyes were messy. I used my other hand to slowly brush off the hair from his face so that I can get a clear view of the perfect sculpture before me. His plump lips were bright pink and looked softer than a rose petal. I was in a trance and my heart was beating so fast that I could hear it through my ears.
"You are staring, love." The deep raspy voice broke me from the trance like oblivion making heat rush up to my cheeks and low down my head to avoid the embarrassment.
His soft index finger gracefully lifted my chin to lock our eyes and get lost in the deep orbs of each other. Without even realising we both slowly leaned towards each other, his hot breath hitting me on my face sending shivers down my spine. I knew I couldn't broke off from the magnetic pull between us even if I wanted to. We were lost in our world.
On cue, there was a loud ring from one of our phones making us quickly stop from moving in further towards each other. With a sigh, he turned to take his phone. He checked the screen and looked at me apologetically, "I have to take this".
That being said he left the room, his cheeks flushed red same as mine and a smile tugged on the lips. I placed my hand on my chest and listened to the uneven beating of my heart making me smile like an idiot.
