sunwoo was seated at a picnic table overlooking the school parking lot. he was messing around on his phone, waiting for daehyun and eric.
they had made it a routine to meet up every other day for lunch because that's when they had the same lunch period.
"whatcha doin'?" a head peeked over his shoulder, her blonde hair falling on him.
"minding my own business," he turned his phone away from her, "you should try it." sunwoo ignored the fact that his heart skipped a beat. he told himself that he was only startled by her closeness.
which was somewhat true as he had come to know that she could be a clingy person sometimes and that she did not hesitate to enter someone else's personal bubble. it was something he could never fully get used to.
a mischievous grin settled on daehyun's face as she moved to sit across from him. "minding your own business gets you nowhere in life."
"that mindset..." he shook his head in disbelief, "may God help you."
"it's the truth," she shrugged.
he raised an eyebrow and side glanced at her.
she gasped. "oh, guess what soohyun gave me!" she leaned in towards him. she smiled brightly, her eyes turning into horizontal crescents.
he put his hand against her warm forehead and gently pushed her back. "stop calling him that, that's so weird."
she swatted his arm away and leaned forward again, "oh my gosh, he's only like 5 years older than us it's fine."
"he's a tea-"
"what's going on here?" eric appeared before them. "sunwoo, are you tryna steal my woman?!" he slammed his hands on the picnic table.
daehyun reached out for his hands and held them in hers. "careful, you'll get a splinter."
sunwoo felt green like the grass around him, but he maintained a neutral expression, as he does so well. "bro, what?"
"i'm just kidding," eric took a seat next to daehyun and greeted her with a kiss. sunwoo playfully scrunched up his face in disgust.
eric noticed sunwoo after pulling away, "what? do you want one too?" he puckered his lips and leaned towards sunwoo.
sunwoo also puckered lips and leaned towards eric. when it came to each other, they were pretty prideful and could get competitive. so they kept leaning in to see who would back down first.
daehyun watched until their lips were damn near touching before she pushed them apart. "you really would have kissed each other if i didn't stop you."
"probably," eric shrugged, "anyway, what were y'all talking about?"
her excitement from earlier flared up again and could be seen in her smile. "soohyun gave me a cupcake today! tell me i'm not his favorite."
"you're not his favorite," the boys said in unison.
her smile quickly turned into scowl, "you guys are just jealous, hating ass motherfuckers."
"literally no," eric said.
sunwoo narrowed his eyes, "you got a cupcake from your teacher crush and you think you're special?"
"babe, he probably just wanted to get rid of those cupcakes," eric tried reasoning with her.
"then why did he tell me he saved it for me, hm?" she looked between the boys, "exactly, because i'm his favorite and he loves me, simple."
the boys could not believe their ears.
sunwoo's eyes widened, "loves you?" he shook his head once again. "you're being delusional."
"you cannot be serious," eric scratched his head.
"i heard he has a girlfriend, though," sunwoo said.
"yeah, me!"
"um, hello?!" eric pouted, folding his arms with attitude.
"you're real bold for saying that with your boyfriend next to you," sunwoo said.
"aw, don't get pouty, i was just playing," she pulled eric into a hug and kissed all over his face, which instantly made him smile. his smile dropped again, though, when she quickly added, "but i'm his favorite."
sunwoo prayed to God and everything above to get him away from them. his prayers were soon answered when his phone vibrated with a notification.
sunwoo stood up abruptly, which startled the other two, and grabbed his bag.
"where you going?" eric looked up at him.
"i'm skipping," he answered, trying to contain his excitement.
"what about your sister?"
he shrugged, putting his phone in his pocket, "i'll come back."
without another word, sunwoo ran down to the car picking him up. only when he reached the parking lot did he wave up to them. they waved back until they saw him get into a car.
"is that dallia?" daehyun inquired, narrowing her eyes at the familiar looking car.
the window on the driver's side rolled down revealing said girl who pulled up her sunglasses and waved to them before driving away.
