Chapter 18 | S1: Balancing Feelings

I woke up by Mr. Sunshine glowing through my window. I then checked my phone to see what time it is, only to be greeted with tons of notifications from my social media apps.

Why in the world do I have so many message requests? I opened instagram and almost died at the sight of the amount of followers I have. 582k followers???!!! What did I do to have this many followers?? But when I saw the message requests, I think I know the reason why. They were all questions about Sunghoon, about the post. Well, I'm really happy that I have many followers now but, I'm not sure how I feel about the reason how I got them.

As the school day unfolded, I noticed that students were still staring at me but, thankfully not approaching me. I found myself surrounded by the girls during lunch break. The girls were curious about my interactions with the three aces, and I happily shared that I had grown closer to Sunghoon and Jungwon. However, I admitted to being a bit cautious around Heeseung, heeding Chaewon's advice.

"It's great that you're getting along with Sunghoon and Jungwon!" Eunchae exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yeah, they're both really nice and talented," I replied with a smile. "But Heeseung is a bit hard to read sometimes. Everytime I take a glance at him, he's looking at me."

"That sounds creepy for real." Sakura chimed in.

Feeling reassured by my friends' support, I headed to my first activity, gymnastics. As I entered the gym, I was mesmerized by Jungwon's graceful movements as he trained, showcasing his martial arts skills. I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration.

"Hey Jungworm! You're so good!" I called him jokingly and giggling.

Jungwon suddenly bursted out laughing "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?! HAHAHAHHA"

Jungworm- I mean Jungwon then offered to help with my gymnastics practice. I was thrilled to have his guidance and gladly accepted. Just as we were getting into it, I spotted Jay nearby, and a thought struck me. "Hey, Jay! Please join us!"

Jay seemed surprised but excitedly joined in, and the three of us practiced together. Their encouragement and support made the experience even more enjoyable. However, when I attempted the balance beam, my clumsiness got the best of me, and I started to lose my balance. I squealed out of fear.

Just as I was about to fall, I felt a strong and steady grip around my waist, and I opened my eyes to see Jay catching me. My heart skipped a beat, and a blush spread across my cheeks. "Th-thank you," I stammered, trying to regain my composure.

Jay chuckled and smirked, his face slightly flushed as well. "No problem, Sunoo. You're doing great! Just take it slow and steady."

His reassuring words and the closeness between us made my heart flutter. I was grateful for his support, both as a friend and as someone who seemed to genuinely care about me. I, Jungwon, and Jay, continued to practice, and I couldn't help but feel a newfound connection with Jay. Such a gentleman.

Jay's POV

As Sunoo and I practiced together on the balance beam, I couldn't help but notice how effortlessly Sunoo seemed to connect with the gymnastics routine. His determination and willingness to learn made me admire him even more. He had a natural grace and talent that was captivating.

When he stumbled, I was quick to catch him, and the proximity between us sent my heart racing. I tried to play it cool and act manly, but deep down, I couldn't deny the fluttering feeling in my chest.

"T-Thank you," he said, his voice soft and... sincere. It was a simple moment, but it felt special, and I found myself wanting to be there for him more often. T-To.. take care of him. Of course it's n-natural to be c-concerned...

Jungwon's POV

As we continued to practice, I couldn't help but notice how fast Sunoo was learning. I admired Sunoo's progress. I was genuinely impressed by Sunoo's quick learning in gymnastics.

"Sunoo, you're picking it up so fast!" I complimented him, a genuine smile on my face.

Sunoo's eyes sparkled with joy, and he beamed at Jungwon's praise. "Thanks, Jungwon! Your guidance really helps."

I smiled, genuinely happy for Sunoo's progress. It was heartwarming to see him forming such strong connections with me and Jay. I had always known that Sunoo was special, but seeing him interact with others made me appreciate him even more.

I was concerned for Sunoo when he was practicing on the balance beam, worried he might fall, and he did. But Jay caught him just in time. Instead of being relieved, I felt jealousy rub over me, woah, it's the first time I felt that since I studied here. I was focused so much on my studies. Wha- Yang Jungwon stop this nonsense...
