a tall, young man strolled down the school hallways, round glasses sitting up on the bridge of his nose while his earrings and chains dangled and shimmered under the artificial blue light, that hurt his eyes. everyone stared at him, as he walked with his books loosely in his arms, seeing he was one of the most popular kids in the building. he had it all, after all. he was handsome, tall, from a relatively wealthy family and actually had some manners.

the boy had just a few friends — they were the complete opposites of him. while jaemin was the quiet, smart kid who fell in love with astronomy the second he landed his eyes on the stars, donghyuck and chenle were the spawns of satan's. they were the kids with bubbly personalities, bright aura's surrounding their well-beings. they were very cheerful and loud, bringing joy everywhere they went.

jaemin usually spent all of his time in the library standing near the school's campus, enjoying the presence of only his thoughts and the fictional world painting itself in his head. there was also a café under the library, pretty much hidden from regular people — not many people knew of it and that gave it the nice feeling, similar to content and peace. it felt like his second home and the peach haired was more than in love with the place.

the boy's interests were usually focused around his fantasy books and encyclopedias, something, the school jocks weren't able to even imagine. the peach haired wasn't particularly a sports type of a person. his main priority were the grades he'd get on his final exams and the scores from the international mathematics competitions he usually excelled in. sports though? not so much.

jeno was a raven haired boy, who on the other hand, lived for sports. the boy wasn't the type to get some peace to sit down and paint or read — he needed the adrenaline and all that stuff. that's how he got the spot as the captain and the right-wing of the junior's ice hockey team in the seoul district. his grades were okay, he did what he could, yet remained an average student with good enough scores to pass. he never failed his exams, yet he's never been the best, either.

the ravenette was also pretty much popular in the school, perhaps they were the looks he had, perhaps it was the "rich boy aesthetic" he's managed to pull off so flawlessly, or maybe, just maybe it was the fact that he was an actual hockey player representing seoul and being so close to being drafted into the nhl in america. the boy would be able to get anyone to date him, just with a single snap of his long fingers, yet the boy remained single, enjoying the girls and boys swooning around him on a daily basis. he was a heart-throb.

either way, don't get him wrong, it wasn't as if he wasn't interested in someone — he definitely had his eyes on someone. jaemin was his love interest for the longest time now, however, the peach haired boy was quite the hard nut to crack. (a/n plz that's a czech proverb) the two boys have graduated from the same elementary and middle school, which would be considered a coincidence for most people, but the truth was different.

when the ravenette heard that the other would be studying at the art school, he didn't hesitate to risk his career to attend the same college. jeno's classmates were shocked to hear that, to say the least, but decided not to question it, as nobody liked to have a conflict with the young hockey captain. despite his lack of interest in the modern arts of painting and book writing, jenom still decided to attend. he thought it would help him get closer to the peach haired, but if anything, it made them get even more distant.

and this will be the story of how jeno started to try and get the astronomy nerd's attention and love.
