Haruto POV

Love at first sight. If you said such a thing would happen to me, I would laugh my ass off. There was no such thing as love at first sight. Interest, maybe. Sexual attraction, probably. It was no different than when you see hot girls at a club then turn them to your bed warmer for the night.

That was until I landed my eyes on a certain angel...

Friday afternoon, I was stuck in the basketball hall because my best friend of fourteen years, Park JeongWoo, forced me to join K-ARTs basketball team when I had zero interest in basketball at all, except for the exercise side of it. I mean, I need to keep myself fit and the rumor about the team's practice being the hardest among clubs in K-ARTs kind of okay for me.

I was leaning my elbows on my knees on the bench, joking around with JeongWoo, JungHwan, Asahi Hyung and JaeHyuk Hyung while waiting for a friendly match with our seniors when I heard someone shouting from the basketball hall door.

"Mashiiii..." The nasally voice was loud against the empty hall. It was the type of voice that was personally annoying for me, the reason why it caught my attention and instinctively, I glanced up at the source.

Unlike the voice, the owner was probably the most attractive looking guy my nineteen years old eyes ever laid on. He was running across the court, half skipping. His brunette hair moved ups and downs following his steps. The first thing that I noticed was his legs and how they looked miles long from where I sat.

I hadn't yet paid any attention to his face when JeongWoo suddenly took a step aside, covering the guy from my view. Then a slight chubby cheek slowly came from JeongWoo's neck, gradually forming a dimple as he smiled.

And my heart stopped for a second when I looked at his smile.

I secretly followed him with my eyes. He was running towards Mashiho Hyung and Doyoung. Who is he? My sunbae? Mashiho Hyung's friend?

A moment later, I saw Jihoon Hyung following him from behind. Jihoon Hyung's friend?

Can anyone please let me know why I'm playing a guessing game with myself?

I spent the next few minutes observing him. The way his lips puckered to a cute pout, the way his teeth lined up perfectly as he laughed and his eyes disappeared into thin lines, and the way he smiled. That beautiful smile that I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of. I didn't really pay attention to the conversation piercing into my ears, my attention was solely on him.

Until I saw Mashiho Hyung pointing his finger in our direction, and the guy turned his head, looking at us, and I averted my gaze as fast as I possibly could. I blinked and exhaled through my pursed lips.

What the heck! Why am I nervous?!

I couldn't turn my head back to him and his group, for some reason afraid he's going to catch me looking. Then through my peripheral vision, I saw him walking across the court again, heading towards my direction. I was hoping he would actually come to greet either Asahi Hyung or Jaehyuk Hyung just so I could see him from up close. But that hope went down the drain as he was sauntering to the hall door instead.

In that short period of time, time seemed to pass slowly for me. The door cracked open just to shower his cheeks with sunlight, making them look glowing under the pink hue they were sporting. The wind coming from outside seeped through his brunette hair, the strands looked like they were dancing against every gentle blow, they looked soft and my fingers were itchy to feel them. He turned around once more and I was mesmerized by his beauty. I wasn't sure beauty is the right term to describe a male face, but yeah, I was stunned so much that I didn't hear what he said to the other group.
