Chapter 10: It's a Win-Win!

As the class buzzed with excitement about the upcoming game, Haerin saw the perfect chance to catch Minji's attention. She motioned for Minji to come closer, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Minji, sensing Haerin's call, made her way towards Haerin's desk, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"What's up, Professor?" Minji asked, her voice filled with playful curiosity.

Haerin leaned in, her voice barely a whisper. "I have a little surprise for you," she said, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

Minji's eyebrows raised, intrigued by Haerin's words. "Oh, really? What kind of surprise?" she asked, her voice laced with anticipation.

Haerin reached into her bag and pulled out a small envelope, her fingers trembling with excitement. She handed it to Minji, who opened it eagerly. Inside was a ticket to the volleyball game that evening, with a note from Haerin that read, "For my star student and the star of the game."

Minji's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and delight spreading across her face. "You got me a bracelet ? That's so sweet, Haerin!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine appreciation.

Haerin grinned, her heart swelling with pride. "I wanted to have the best lucky charm to cheer you on," she said, her voice filled with admiration. "I'll be there too, right by your side."

Minji's heart skipped a beat at Haerin's words. The thought of having Haerin right there, cheering her on, made her feel invincible. She leaned in, placing a soft kiss on Haerin's cheek, her gratitude and excitement palpable.

"Thank you, Haerin," Minji said, her voice filled with warmth. "You always know how to make me feel special."

Haerin's cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness. "It's easy when you mean so much to me," she replied, her voice filled with sincerity.

As the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Haerin and Minji shared a final glance, their eyes filled with excitement and love. They both knew that the upcoming game would be a defining moment for Minji, and Haerin couldn't wait to be there, cheering her on and witnessing her shine.

With newfound energy and anticipation, Minji made her way to her next class, feeling the support and love radiating from Haerin's surprise. The rest of the day seemed to pass in a blur as she eagerly anticipated the evening, where she would step onto the court and give it her all, with Haerin right there, her biggest fan and supporter.

As the day progressed, Minji couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence and determination. She knew that with Haerin's love and support, there was nothing she couldn't achieve. The game held a new level of importance for her, and she was determined to make both Haerin and herself proud.

With thoughts of victory and Haerin's unwavering support in her heart, Minji eagerly counted down the hours until the game. The anticipation built, and she knew that when the time came, she would give it her all, fueled by the love and encouragement that surrounded her.

Little did she know, this game would mark not only a triumph on the volleyball court but also a turning point in their relationship, as their bond deepened and their love for each other continued to grow.

Minji's volleyball team practice before her, she and Haerin find themselves sitting on the bleachers during lunchtime. Haerin strategically places her laptop on her lap, pretending to be engrossed in work while sitting unusually close to Minji.

"So, will you wear my jersey?" Minji quips, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Haerin scoffs playfully, teasing Minji about the cliché choice.

Minji lets out a hearty laugh, her jawline prominent and sharp as she takes a sip of water from her bottle. "I wanna see those I love front row eyes on me," she says in a tone, her voice dripping with playful seduction. Haerin smiles, unable to tear her gaze away from Minji's captivating presence. "I'll be there," she assures her with a smile, her eyes twinkling with anticipation.
