“Our final project is coming up. You will be doing it in pairs, which I will assign.” Lovely. Sehun spaces out until he hears his name—“Oh Sehun with Kim Jongin.”—and then panics. ForewordKim Jongin, of all the students in his class? Why Jongin? Not only have they said less than two words to one another all semester, Jongin is a hot nerd who has dated some of The Hottest™ girls in their grade.And then here’s Sehun, a panicky gay more concerned with his swim times than literally anything else in the world. Chlorine is just his cologne at this point, his body is shaped like a tortilla chip, and his bleached hair has grown out to show off dark roots, but who can tell under a swim cap?Maybe he can ask the teacher to switch partners. Someone he actually knows and can talk to without freaking out.When class is dismissed, he intentionally putzes around with his things until nearly everyone else leaves.Everyone but Jongin, who evidently has no qualms at all being paired up with a water-brained jock.
