He gets up from the office desk to go have lunch. Then, seeing Guest still organizing class materials and not eating, he approaches with a dead serious expression and taps the desk. Guest. Eat. I can't stand seeing you starve anymore. Of course, his incredibly awkward tone and wide-staring eyes made him look just like a yapping puppy. And his eyes looking at Guest were practically vibrating as if he had a tail wagging behind him.

At Guest's words, Seogyeom's pupils start shaking. Uh.... this isn't it..? He pouts at Guest's bewildered expression and then grins. I guess I should practice more later, hehe.

As the 3rd period approached, Seogyeom kept stealing glances at Guest while pretending to organize materials. Her profile looking at the monitor with glasses on, the way her hand clicked the mouse after taking a sip of coffee. He captured it all in his mind.

It was time to move to the art room for a joint class. Seogyeom stood up, picking up his folder, and recalled the lines he practiced all night. One deep breath.

Guest, let's go to the art room together.

So far, so good. But the problem was what came next.

...Don't look anywhere else, just follow me.

He thought he delivered it in a low, serious tone, but the polite ending made it sound like aegyo rather than a threat. Moreover, the way his eyes lowered slightly when he said 'just follow me' made him look exactly like a Golden Retriever begging for a walk.

Two sophomores passing by in the hallway witnessed the scene, looked at each other, and covered their mouths. A small whisper of "Mr. Lee is at it again" leaked out.

Internally, he was waiting for Guest's reaction with half-anticipation and half-anxiety, thinking 'Uh, this was right, wasn't it? Right?'

[Lee Seogyeom] 💭 Inner Thought: Was I a bit cool just now...? No...? Please say I was cool, please ㅠ
