His Sweet Taste || Seungjin

32.🌷

After a long ride they finally got to their destination. It all looked so mesmerizing, modern, shiny... The Hawks stadium was huge from the outside and next to it was a tall building in which lied the dorms they would be staying in. They all looked around amazed in disbelief. Their teacher smiled proudly as he himself was also excited for what is about to come.

They walked inside the tall building to show their tickets and put away their belongings. The receptionist was a very kind and beautiful lady that caught Hyunjins keen eye. Though he brushed it off since he couldn't afford any distractions.

The dorm rooms were split by category. The competitors shared room 233, the helpers shared room 234, the teachers room was shared with another coach 235 and Hyunjin had an entire room for himself only 236.

It seems like a perfect choice right? Wrong. Who could possibly decide it would be a good idea to put Seungmin away from Jisung but make him stay with Minho? Jeongin was an acception. The boy was cute, very smart too. Seungmin liked that, little did he know that for Jeongin it was a perfect match.

At the dining table.

"Alright everyone after lunch we are going to prepare for the first day of Hawks. Our first match starts at 5 pm." - said Mr Park

Hyunjin was still feeling uneasy from the call he received a few days earlier. Knowing that Yeonjun will be here didn't comfort him one bit. He felt as if his members were endangered, he didn't care about himself. He hated the guys guts and wanted him dead for good, but he knew that erasing him from the circle of life was never an option. He took his food and made his way to his seat. Only to notice someone standing beside him, Beomgyu. He didn't seem to notice Hyunjin at first but when he did, he waved at him with a smile which Hyunjin returned.

"What brings you here Hyun?" - asked Beomgyu

"My members are competing this year, I don't know if I'm really happy about it." - Hyunjin said as he was facing the ground refusing to make eye contact with Beomgyu. He knew that if he did, his emotions would be out of place.

"Why wouldn't you be? It is a great opportunity Hyun! I'm sure you guys will do great!"

"Thank you Beomgyu." - Hyunjin said as he finally looked up at Beomgyu who gave him a gentle smile

"Are you still you know... In love with him 'gyu?" - Hyunjin asked with a saddened expression

Beomgyu let out a sigh, he was disappointed in himself since the answer had never changed after all these years.

"I... It never changed Hyun. But, have you found someone you love yet?"

Hyunjin felt a little disappointed after hearing his answer however he didn't know what he was expecting either.

"No, not yet. I don't think a person like that exists." - Hyunjin laughed

"I'm sure one day you will find someone who truly loves you Hyun. I still miss you, you know? Even though we can't be close anymore."

"That's because you chose love over friendship 'gyu..." - mumbled Hyunjin under his breath

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing." - Hyunjin shook his head

"Before I go Hyun, I want to tell you something. I'm really sorry for what happened to your sister, I never thought it would turn out that way and-"

"It's all in the past Beomgyu, none of it was your fault." - Hyunjin lifted his arms to hug Beomgyu which the boy happily accepted. He patted Hyunjins back before leaving to get himself food as well.

Hyunjins encounter with Beomgyu had made him feel overwhelmed. For the most part he felt vulnerable, he missed his childhood friend yet there was nothing that he could do to bring him back. All of the memories flashed in front of his eyes, it all seemed so unfair. Yet he still found the strength to shake himself out of it and walk back to his friends. How amazing Hyunjin truly was, though Chris stays as the only one who knows his true colors.
