Ilhoon - Crush On You (Cute)

Imagine...

You are a member of the school newspaper and you have been assigned to write an article that spotlights one of the players on the schools' soccer team. This normally wouldn't have been a problem for you, considering that you are probably the most outgoing person on the entire staff, but ever since you found out who the player was you've been especially nervous.

Jung Ilhoon was not only one of the best players on the team and the most popular guy in school, but he has also been your crush for the past two years. You used to be friends with him back in elementary school, but you haven't talked ever since he joined the soccer team in middle school.

You had one of your friends, who is also on the team, set up an interview time with him during practice one day and he reports back to you the next day.

"What'd he say?" you ask him after having greeted him.

"He said he could spare a few minutes before practice today to talk to you," he replies. "You can just go to field after the bell rings."

"Okay, thanks," you say as you give him a quick hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The end of the day comes around and you make your way down to the soccer field as soon as the bell rings. You nerves have been eating away at you all day, despite the fact that you've been practicing asking your questions.

As soon as you step far enough onto the field, you see him sitting on the bleachers, bent over so he could tie his cleats. You take a deep breath in order to try and encourage yourself before walking over to him.

"Oh," he says as he sits back up, his eyes landing on you. "Hi...can I help you?"

"Y-Yeah," you stutter. "Um, Minjae said that I could interview you before practice for the school newspaper."

"Oh, oh, you," he says, pointing a finger at you. "Yeah okay. I guess we can talk really quick."

"It won't take long," you say as you take a seat next to him, your heart racing at the speed of light.

"Okay, go ahead and ask away," he says, shifting a little so he is facing you.

"Okay...um...when did you start playing soccer?" you ask.

"Uh, I guess when I was in middle school," he answers as you start writing. "My dad said that I should get into some extracurricular activities and I always liked to watch soccer on T.V., so I figured why not give it a try?"

"Who or what is your inspiration?"

"Um...that's a good question," he chuckles, causing you to crack a small smile. "I guess I don't have one thing or person I look up to. I mean, I kind of use my previous success to motivate me to be better and practice harder."

"Okay, what are your plans for the future?"

"College, definitely," he says, nodding his head.

"Do you want to major in something sports related?"

"Yeah, I want to be a physical therapist for athletes," he says. "You know, help them get better quicker."

"And finally, what do you like to do in your free time or when you aren't playing soccer?"

"Just hang out with my friends and listen to music, I guess," he shrugs. "Normal teenage things."

"Okay," you say as you write your last few notes. "That's all the questions I have. Thanks for letting me do this."

"It was no problem," he says. "Do you need photos? Because if you do you can stay for practice and get some. I'm sure coach wouldn't mind."

"No, we already had our photographer get some yesterday during practice," you answer.

"Okay well, let me know when it is published," he says as he gets on his feet. "I want to see the article."

"I will," you say, a timid smile painted on your lips.

"Minjae told me that you were kind of nervous to interview me," he says, taking a step closer to you. You just kind of look at him and instantly feel your cheeks begin to blush. "He said you liked me...like a lot."

"Yeah well, he's an idiot and doesn't really know how to keep his mouth shut, so I wouldn't believe him," you say, already planning his death in your head. Ilhoon chuckles a little, his eyes never leaving your face.

"So, would you think I'm crazy if I said that I liked you, too?" he says, catching you completely off guard.

"Y-You do?" you say with widened eyes, earning a nod from him.  "S-Since when?"

"Since elementary school," he says.

"I-I didn't think you even remembered me," you say, feeling your heart begin to race again.

"I do," he says, causing you to lower your eyes to the green grass below your feet. "So, would you like want to hang out some time? You know, when I'm not practicing." You try to control your breathing and heart without looking like a lunatic, but don't succeed very well.

"S-Sure," you say, keeping your head down. "That's sounds cool."

You hear him let out another chuckle and see his feet moving closer to you. He lifts your blushing face up by your chin and looks you in the eyes for a few seconds before pressing his lips against yours. You don't have a chance to kiss back before he breaks the kiss due to the amount of shock you are experiencing in this moment.

"I'll tell Minjae to give you my number," he says, stepping back and biting his bottom lip.

"Okay..." you say quietly as you nod your head dreamily.

"Cute," he says as he laughs and turns around. You snap out of your trance and then grab your stuff before leaving the field, smiling from ear to ear.
