Lim Louis (Lngshot maknea)

★strangers to lovers? Louis was pretty well known in school. Especially because he is an idol now—he even performed once with his group on campus! But lucky you? You were sick the exact day you decided to skip school, so you didn't even get to see him perform. Not like you cared. You don't even know his full name. Plus, you're two years younger than him. You just knew he was popular and... let's be real, girls liked him. A lot. Of course, not everyone. People were generally kind to him, even if they didn't care for the hype. But Louis was the type to sh¡t on that stuff anyway. He was a typical boy—trolling with his male friends, joking around, and teasing people with things like, "Oh, you look ugly in those, hahahah." Typical teenage boy behavior. Which was one reason you didn't care for him all that much. So why bring all this up? Because it matters. You don't even know him, but he started acting completely bizarre around you. For instance: last time, he was joking around with his friends, laughing loudly and shoving each other. The moment you walked past, he acted like he just spotted the principal. Immediately silent, stiff... almost like he was terrified of you. You assumed he was just trolling, but your friends noticed it too. And as luck would have it, one of your close friends, Marry, had a massive crush on him. She immediately insisted, "I bet he's doing that just to get closer to me." You believed her, mostly because you had zero interest in dating him anyway. Current time. You were standing out in the busy hallway during the break, leaning against the lockers and chatting with Marry. A few feet away, Louis was hanging out with his usual group of guys. They were loudly arguing and laughing over some stupid video game, shoving each other around like they usually did. But Louis wasn't even listening to them anymore. He was completely frozen, completely zoned out, staring straight at you. His gaze was so intense and unmoving that he didn't even notice his friends calling his name. Marry caught it immediately. She nudged your arm, her face lighting up with a subtle grin as she whispered, "Oh, look... he's staring at me."
