#14 Uncomfortable But Not Quite

Song: Rock With You by Seventeen

Wonwoo's POV:

"What the hell was that Lee Chan?!" I spatted with a loud and furious voice. It definitely echoed through the whole basketball court but I guess it's fine since no one is here.

"Hyung, let me explain. I was caught off gaurd. I panicked!" He said through the other line.

That little coward kid along with his small partner have the whole bravery to ran off from their mess. They left us with some scribbles upon our head.

"It was actually Chaeyoung! She threw that notebook to the teacher!"

"What are you talking about?! You avoided it that's why it flew and hit the teacher!"

"Me?! I didn-"

"Lee Chan!" I called out his attention and the both of them immediately stopped from arguing.

"Based from my photographic memory and high sharp vision, your finger pointed at us evidently." I glared, I glared intently even though he's not with me. Because I know, he can sense all of it it through his phone.

I then don't hear a thing afterwards. The both of them became silent, and I was confused. Did they already leave?

"H-hello?" I hesitantly said.

"Hello hyung?"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"N-no, I didn't?"

What the heck Lee Chan?! Based from his tone, it was obvious that he's pretending that he didn't hear me! This kid! Tsk.

"Are you kidding me?!" I can feel how my eyebrows creased out of annoyance. Geez, I really can't handle this dang infant!

"Kidding? Who kidding? Lee Chan? I don't who he is! Why are you talking to me? Why do you have my number? Are you a stalker? A creep?! Omygosh! You must be out of your mind! Oh a psychopath! Don't ever talk to me again! Bye!"

What the actual fu- shi- bull-ugh! bullspit! Come on, can I just curse for once?!

He ended the line. Tsk, I hope he's ready later when I'll meet him for training! He better be!

"I-im sorry to distract you but, are you o-okay?" Shoot, I forgot. I keep blabbing a lot of things and I forgot that Mina's with me.

"I'm sorry for that."

"No, I understand." She gave me a warm smile. Afterwards, I helped her in mopping the whole court. It's our punishment earlier. Scratch that, it was supposed to be Chan and Chaeyoung's punishment. Argh!

"You know what, you're holding the mop like you're fighting in some sort of a gang. Let's play some songs and I hope you'll calm down." She shortly rummaged something from her pocket and her phone appeared. I can feel how she quickly scrolled her screen just to find a song.

"This is Kang Sarah Sunbaenim's song!" I observed her as her feet is lightly following to the beat. If I'm not here right now, for sure she already danced until her bones break. Yet, my presence in hindering her from doing it. Maybe she's not doing it because I may feel uncomfortable or that I will judge her because of it.

"If you like her, don't be shy to dance around." I gently smiled and her head instantly turned towards me.

"N-no, it's embarrassing."

"Really? There's nothing wrong with it. I would like to see you dance." Hearing upon my statement, her cheeks turned red. She played with her fingers while holding the mop.

"Come on, just a little bit?" I pleaded.

"Y-yah, the court is s-still dirty. I already cleaned half of it! It-it's your t-turn!" She sttutered, a lot. In a second, her back is already facing me. I chuckled because of her reaction.

Cute.

Tzuyu's POV:

"So you're just going to let your opponent punch you?" Seungcheol oppa said sternly with an intimidating voice. I can feel how my sweat is slowly dripping off my face. I was hesitant to look at him since it was obvious what his face looks like. Still, my gaze landed on his and it gave me a total goosebump.

"U-uh..." I stood in the center with both of my fists ready to hit the focus mitts he's holding. I suddenly feel a slight embarrassment knowing that my friends are surrounding me. I felt uncomfortable. So, I decided to give it a try and punched it even though I already knew it was weak.

"Harder!" He shouted, trying to squeeze out my anger but it was useless. I'm not feeling irritated nor angry right now, I feel small. As I punched it again. It only became weaker.

Seungcheol oppa seems to give up on me, so he signed me to sit down with my group. It's a walk of shame to be honest.

"Most of you are not molded yet. I know that you're unfamiliar with these things but remember, take this seriously. You're not just against with strangers but also amongst yourselves. If you'll die, there's no turning back." He furrowed his brows and his face shows total disappointment.

I sighed again. Am I too bad for this? Even so, what he said was true. All of us could be eliminated any moment.

The training ended miserable for me. I grabbed my belongings without any emotions.

"It's fine Tzuyu. As long as you're improving, you'll do good." I turned to my side and it was the person I want to see the most.

Kim Mingyu.

Not even sure why I always want to see him, but maybe I'm already attracted to him.

"I can't ask a question right? Because I didn't do good in training?" I muttered. If I'll think longer, the real reason why I'm ashamed of myself earlier is because I won't be able to question anything about that girl that we're talking about. To cut things short, the root of my disappointment is not being able to know the girl he once loved. And yeah, not because I did horrible in punching the air.

"You tried your best. I think you can." He crossed his arms as he rests his head on the wall beside him. Suddenly, my lips tugged upwards from what I've heard.

"How did you and Bae Chul Jae met?"
