WEAK SPOT [YEONBIN]

✃31✁

Taehyun knew he was being a creep. Yesterday Soobin didn't show up once to school, and Yeonjun refused to provide any answers in the locker room either...

He found out easily that the soccer team decided to have practice early today, an hour before classes start. Taehyun didn't know why the sudden change of schedule and he didn't care. All he cared about was getting to school at the same time.

This is how Taehyun ends up here, an hour earlier than he needs to be, peeking through the red door he cracks open to peek outside.

He sees Beomgyu speed past with the soccer ball, the boy doesn't have a smile on his face. It's a serious expression that Taehyun hasn't seen... well, that's not entirely true...

Taehyun feels an ache in his heart, seeing the boy. He knows he fucked up bad with Beomgyu, but there has to be a chance that we can make things right again...

Taehyun's eyes shift then, It's Soobin.

Taehyun perks up, holding his breath, leaning in more, opening the door slightly wider.

Soobin because of his distaste for conflict became the goalie- Taehyun knows that, Soobin didn't want to play rough with another players.  So, Taehyun was shocked seeing the boy finally move from the net.

Soobin jogs across the court, long legs making it easy. No way, no way, no way-

The thing Taehyun came to observe was happening. Right now. Deep down he didn't understand the excitement in his chest but most of all- his stomach drops- While the rest of the boys meet in the center to discuss strategy, Soobin goes up to the coach instead. Taehyun notices it when the coach winks at Soobin once he's done talking to him. Taehyun also sees Soobin turns away, a smile on his face as he jogs back to his post.

Taehyun watches the entire time, noticing the way the coach's eyes linger whenever Soobin bends over to tie his shoes, or hits the ground while clutching the soccer ball tight to his chest. Taehyun also notices the way Soobin meets his coach's eye a lot. Each time, Soobin would look away, laughing. Taehyun saw it- the way the boy's shoulders would shake for a moment.

"What the fuck..." Taehyun whispers. He leans away, letting the door flatten completely. He stands behind it after seeing enough.

Shit. What do I do now?

Taehyun starts to walk down the hall, hoping that what he saw would have eased his mind, not make it more scrambled.

"What are you doing here?"

Taehyun jumps, turning around, eyes wide. He feels his heart quicken.

"Huh?" Beomgyu stands there, the red door closing behind him. He glares at Taehyun, rendering him speechless.

Beomgyu looked beautiful as he always does but-

"Your hair is different." Taehyun points out. It was also disheveled looking, and dyed black- a much different look than Beomgyu's signature cute, preppy blonde cut. 

Beomgyu's eyes- his expression was full of anger. Taehyun couldn't have ever imagined Beomgyu to look at someone with such disdain but here they were. Here he was, a victim to his gaze.
