Catch Me (Purinz/Chaewon x Yunjin)

October: Part One

"Good morning, Chaewon." Yunjin's voice had an extra cocky ring to it as she slid into her seat beside the brunette, who'd been diligently writing in her English notebook, ever the good student.

Chaewon shook her head in exasperation. "Good morning, Commander."

Chaewon didn't notice Yunjin's reaction to her use of the nickname. It was different, the way she said it. The way it so elegantly and deliciously rolled off her lips.

Yunjin forgot to speak.

"Another game won..." Chaewon drawled, glancing up at Yunjin with a wry smile.

"You came." Yunjin noted aloud, and Chaewon glanced away bashfully.

"For Kazuha." She blurted out.

"You have a thing for my cousin?" Yunjin's bewilderment, and acidic tone, were not unnoticed by Chaewon.

Chaewon laughed, blushing. "Uh, not really. But...you know...support your local girl football player and all that."

Yunjin narrowed her eyes, but smirked nonetheless. Chaewon was teasing her.

"You're on a roll, then?" Chaewon asked, leaning forward on her elbow, toothy smile in place.

"We don't plan on losing." Yunjin shot back arrogantly, but she matched Chaewon's smile.

"Too bad." Chaewon whispered, her voice lowering so that Yunjin was closer. "You know, you could really stand to be knocked flat on your ass a few times. Take your cockiness down a notch. I'd pay to see that."

Yunjin grinned wickedly at the artist, enjoying their banter like she had come to enjoy most things about Chaewon. "You'd pay to see my ass, Kim?"

"That's not what I said." Chaewon scoffed, cheeks turning red.

Yunjin's smirk forced Chaewon to shake her head, muttering, "You are incorrigible."

Their work began and Yunjin's playful mood only seemed to bolster the brunette's own spirits. She too had come to enjoy their banter.

Maybe it had a little bit to do with Yunjin's offering of support the other day on the field.

Maybe.

But Chaewon began to notice little nuances and changes in her tonality, in her expression, a softness that perhaps had been absent on their first day. It was endearing.

Towards the end of the class period, Chaewon had noticed Yunjin's telltale smirk boring into her.

Glancing up, she felt an immediate blush settling in. "What?" She demanded.

"Oh, I'm sizing you up." Yunjin announced loftily, shutting her book with a satisfied smile.

"Me?" Chaewon snorted. "What for? Planning on taking our arguments to the next level?"

There was a strange intensity in those words. She found herself looking away, while Yunjin licked her lips, heat pooling in her stomach.

Okay, so she had frustrating bouts of attraction to Huh Yunjin. Who didn't?

"It's just..." Yunjin shrugged. "I'm the so-called Commander of the SSE...You're the head of your little group of...Delinquents."

"Yeah yeah, we're star crossed lovers." Chaewon rolled her eyes. "Why is this relevant? You planning on a gang war?"

Yunjin's lips quirked up in a smile at that. "No. But I was debating inviting you to a party at my place, Friday evening."

Chaewon's brows shot up. "Your place?"
