SuperCuties (Zihao x Haruto from Boys Planet)

Part 11: Suspicious

Haruto had just finished his exams and was feeling relieved that the stress was finally over. However, his friend Zihao was still struggling to keep up with his studies. Haruto received an invitation to watch Zihao's dance practice, which he accepted eagerly. As he entered the studio, he saw Zihao practicing with his dance partner, Hanbin. They moved together with grace and precision, and Haruto couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

He knew that he wasn't the best dancer and had always felt inferior to those who could move effortlessly like Hanbin. He watched as they performed their duo dance, feeling a bit envious of the chemistry between them. Insecurity wash over him, as he knew he could never dance like that. He was just a bookworm, not nearly as pretty or talented as Hanbin.

But he tried to hide his feelings, not wanting to ruin Zihao's practice. Zihao could sense something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He continued to dance, trying to perfect his routine for the upcoming competition.

As the practice session ended, Zihao approached Haruto with a concerned look on his face. "Is everything okay, Haruto? You seemed a bit quiet during practice," he said.

Haruto forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired from exams, I guess," he lied.

Zihao nodded, not completely convinced but not wanting to push the issue. "Well, thanks for coming to watch me practice. It means a lot," he said with a smile.

Haruto returned the smile, but couldn't shake off the feeling of inadequacy he felt. As he walked home, he couldn't help but wonder if Zihao would be better off with someone like Hanbin, who was a natural at dancing and more suited to be his dance partner.
