Author's note: Before reading, please listen to love songs. I did that when I wrote this and I felt 'kilig' (butterflies in my stomach). I felt like I can see the characters with my eyes.

Yang Jong Hoon's Point Of View
'Is it Dan or Sol? Dan or Sol? Dan or Sol?' "Yang-gyosu." As I was lost in my thoughts, Prof Kim entered my office.
"Umm... Eo?"
"Seems like you were lost in your thoughts just a second ago."
"Oh, that was nothing."
"Aigoo, Yang Jong Hoon. Maybe it's because you've been single for many years now. You should start seeing someone."
"I don't have time for that."
"I wish you happiness."
"I'll get going now."
"Eo, go ahead."
Author's Point Of View
"Yang Jong Hoon-imnida." He said as he stepped into the classroom. After the long discussion, he asked his students. "So what is the point in dispute?" To his surprise, Sol raised her hand and answered his question. She sat down feeling ashamed. She thought her answer was wrong. She thought her hated professor would say she was wrong or scold her, but he never did.
"I was about to say that." Joon Hwi told her and smiled.
"Daebak! My answer is correct?" She enthusiastically yelled. And everyone looked at her.

"Kang Sol A," Jong Hoon called her out.

"Joesonghamnida, Gyosunim." She apologized nervously, looking down, avoiding his glare.
-Later-
Yang Jong Hoon's Point Of View
While using my computer, Prof Kim and I had a chat about the real culprit behind Seo Byung Ju's murder. As she was talking, I suddenly remembered Sol raising her hand and answering my question correctly. Out of all the top students in that class, who would've thought that Kang Sol A would raise her hand and answer that correctly? But isn't it cute how she ashamedly sat down thinking her answer was wrong?
"Yang Jong Hoon, What do you think?"
"Ah, eo?"
"You're lost in your thoughts again. Omo, are you smiling?"
"That's absurd. Why would I?"
She then looked at my computer to see what I was smiling at.
"You're smiling at your elephant wallpaper? Aigoo, Yang Jong Hoon. Something's wrong with you lately."
-A few weeks later-
Author's Point Of View
It had been a few weeks already but Jong Hoon hadn't figured out whom he liked between Sol and Dan. He didn't have the time to, he was focused on proving his innocence and on finding the real culprit. After the virtual meeting with Dan, he rode a taxi to go home. On his way home, he turned his phone on and saw Sol's text message asking him about the exam. So he replied to her.
"Sir, you seem to be in a good mood today. It's my first time seeing you smile." The taxi driver said. He rode his taxi almost everyday. Jong Hoon just fake laughed so as not to make things awkward. 'Wait, I was smiling?' He thought. Then he looked at his phone to see what he was smiling at. All he saw was Sol's message. He then remembered brushing his teeth one night, thinking about her while smiling. He recalled whether he smiled while having a meeting with Dan or not a while ago. And he never did.
"It's Kang Sol." He said out loud.
"Ne?" The taxi driver asked.
"Oh, that was nothing."
'Why didn't I realize that sooner?' He thought while remembering all those times he thought of Sol while smiling. Jong Hoon looked at his phone again. And he saw her message saying 'Gamsahamnida, Yang-gyosunim.' He felt his heart beating so fast, which made him even more bothered.
