comfort person - hyj

you've always lived a normal life. normal city, normal family, normal childhood, and normal school. although it seemed like everything was fine, it really wasn't. you were very different from your friends. they were top students. lily being the top actress, hyein being the top model, and yuna being the top cheerleader. you just felt so out of place. not even your bestfriend, gyuvin, can help you. he can't but one day you find his friend on the basketball court. "what's your name?" "mine is han yujin."

"hurry up let's go!" hyein drags me out of the house. "okay!!!" we run to the school as we were really late. this was our first year in high school. crazy, right?
i catch my breath halfway through the run. "we can't be any later!!!" hyein stops and looks back at me then starts running again. it was 9:12. by then our first period would've already started. "ugh!" i continue running.

i place my head on the desk. "welcome to your first day of high school!" the teacher says. i take a deep breath and look up. "sleepy?" gyuvin says. i look at him with dead eyes. "you think?" i put my head back on the table. he stretches and yawns. "me too but i still came early and ready." he brags. "gyuvin, don't piss me off." "yeah whatever." he pops his neck and listens to the teacher. "we'll be starting off by introducing ourselves." the teacher announces. everyone groans. like come on, it's the first day of school. no one wants to be here. "let's start off with... you, young man." he points at a random guy. "... im ollie." he says with a weird accent. it sounds like he's saying oily. "your hobby?" "i don't have one" i genuinely feel bad for the guy. "lame!" the teacher starts laughing. um wtf. he points at gyuvin. "what's your name?" gyuvin looks up from his desk. "gyu...vin.." "what are you gonna be when you're older?" "i don't know" he responds dryly. the teacher looks at everyone in the room. "why is everyone so tired today?" the whole rooms stays silent. low key embarrassed for the teacher but i don't wanna say anything. "come on, guys. rise and shine!" the teacher starts singing. "what's wrong with this guy?" gyuvin whispers to me while rubbing his eyes. "we'll get used to him." i respond.

it's the end of the day, finally. most students are staying a little afterschool. "y/n, let's go to the gym for basketball tryouts" gyuvin tugs on my shirt. "can't you go by yourself..?" im already exhausted from the amount of times the teachers have told us to introduce ourselves. is that the only thing they have for us to do on the first day of school? "you don't even do anything afterschool." he starts trying to reason with me. "anddddd maybe you could also tryout for the team".... i look at him. "who do you think i am? i've never thought of being a part of anything." "oh please let's just go" he keeps begging. "fine but make it quick." i roll my eyes.

we enter the gymnasium and see about 20 people mostly guys who are trying out. "well, this is the point where you just watch me and pray i make it." he smiles at me while walking away. if only gyuvin was like me, not so into any extracurricular activity. i walk to the wall and sit down. i watch gyuvin make the ball into the hoop a bunch of times. he's not bad. "woo! you see that?!" he points at me with a grin. "yeah.. i did, gyuvin." i quietly say. he continues playing.

hyein: hey, y/n? why aren't you home yet???
hyein: y/n?

y/n: oh sorry gyuvin told me to stay afterschool so he could try out for the basketball team

yuna: lameeee

y/n: 😭😭😭

lily: i wanted to try out too but my mom forced me to come home early to clean the house :///

hyein: poor lilyyyy

try outs are over and now everyone is taking a break. gyuvin walks to me drinking his water bottle. "was that practice good?" i make a "😬" face looking at him reek of sweat. "yeah especially when i hit krystian in the head" he smiles and looks over to this boy with white hair. he gives him a death stare. gyuvin looks back at me looking like he almost shit himself. "anyways.." he tries to find anything to talk about but can't. "anyways?" i cross my arms. "yujin!" he drags this boy over to him. he looks very handsome in a young way. somehow, he reminds me of peaches. "you did really good" gyuvin smiles at him. "i did?" he looks at gyuvin with confused eyes. "you did." he continues. suddenly, the coach blows a whistle. "shin gyuvin! come here immediately!" "yes sir!" gyuvin runs away leaving me and the boy alone. i look at him but he just sips on his water. it stays silent for a while. god this is so painfully awkward. "um.. do you think you're going to make it in the basketball team?" i suddenly break the silence. i was never really a talker, i just wanted it to be less awkward. he looks at me and pauses for a second. "o-oh.... i don't really think so but gyuvin does so i guess.." he responds and continues sipping. i look away for a second. "by the way, what's your name?" he says. i look back at him. "y/n. and yours?" "mine is han yujin." i smile at him. he smiles back. something about him makes me want to stay with him until i die. "hey guys! me and yujin made it!" gyuvin comes back running to us. they hug really tight. "yayyy" i celebrate awkwardly waiting for them to stop. "let's walk home!"
