30. terms are approaching
Han Seojun was dribbling the basketball around, he was all by himself in the court and since terms were approaching, there weren't many kids to play around with. The basketball finale match was to be held this weekend, his coach was doting on him and Lee Suho to make it to one of the universities and while Suho didn't care about it, Seojun did. This was his only chance to do something for himself.
Ever since his father died, when he was just a kid, he watched his mother slave day in and out working odd jobs to make ends meet and Seojun did whatever he could to help her which meant working all the time since he was 14. He was gifted with a handsome face, something that helped him get a few modelling jobs and the café job helped too. The plan to become an idol was scrapped when Seyeon died and after that, life seemed too difficult for the boy.
He just wanted to be at peace and happy for once but he also knew that life wasn't easy. Of course, singing was and will always be his one true love but not everyone gets their love stories, clearly he wasn't fortunate in that genre. So he kept grinding, practising as much as he could to make some sense of his life and while he did that, Kim Chorong who sat across in the courtyard, kept calling the boy aloud.
"Ya, let's take a break. I'm tired."
Han Seojun raised his hands throwing the ball and it landed right in the basket net. Smiling, he rushed towards the dropping ball, and he looked at Chorong. "Tired of what? You've been sitting for the entire time."
"Still, sitting is a task."
"Go home and study." Han Seojun dribbled the basketball around, sweating profusely, "terms are approaching."
"But its pizza night, we always go out for pizza and karaoke on Thursdays."
Han Seojun frowned, "we can always have pizza later, exams are important." He scored the basket again, startling Kim Chorong.
"Ya Seojun-ah, why are you so studious all of a sudden?" Chorong walked towards the boy, who was busy dribbling the ball around. "They say that when you spend a lot of time with someone you become like them."
"Who is they?"
"I don't know. I just heard someone say this..."
"YA. What are you even trying to say?" Han Seojun threw the basketball at Chorong, who dodged it. "Wai-" Seojun tilted his head, thinking hard. "is this why you hang out with me? You want to be as drop down gorgeous like me?"
Chorong chuckled, "it's drop dead gorgeous..."
"Same thing."
"And no, I think you're spending too much time with Kang Soojin lately. You're even sounding like something she'd say..." Chorong watched Han Seojun gasp, "studying and exams and nerd things."
"Ani," Han Seojun shook his head, "that's stupid. You know that's not true."
"I don't know." Chorong shrugged, Seojun chugging water from the bottle the former gave him. "I don't know Han Seojun whether or not you're doing this for some revenge scheme or because you're actually liking Soojin-"
But Chorong could not complete it since he was drenched in the water which Seojun had sprayed on him, choking on it while Chorong let the water droplets run down. Seojun coughed, rubbing his chest and then apologised to Chorong who wiped his face with his hand. "Mian, but what... What are you... You're just being polaroid..."
Chorong frowned, this time even Han Seojun knew that wasn't the word. "Polaroid? Or is it being pandora?"
The boys were thinking for a while, both confused on what word it was and each trying to vouch for their incorrect word.
