CHANYEOL's POV

Ignoring every part of my body that was telling to look at Baekhyun, to run to him and confess my love for him and apologise and apologise and apologise, I focused my attention on Taeyang.

He stood there, smirking, with his arms crossed. I frowned, my determination to beat him growing with every second i looked at him.

"Alright guys, I want a nice, clean game. None of what happens at Two Moons, you understand?" We all nodded, looking at the referee. "Good, I'm glad we got that settled..."

BAEKHYUN's POV

The game soon started after the referee briefly spoke to the two teams. My eyes never left Chanyeol as he ran around the field, following the ball and the guy that seemed to always have it.

I smiled as I watched him play, both proud of and amazed at his skills. I looked at Taemin, who grinned back.

"He's good, isn't he?" Taemin said. I nodded in response. "He's apparently never lost his title of best football player at Bangtan, despite the fact that he quit a while ago and left the school... He's a bit of a legend..."

"Are you talking about Chanyeol-ah?" The person next to Taemin asked, looking at us. We both nodded.

"Yeah, do you know him?" The boy nodded.

"He's friends with Jin. Plus he was a bit of a god when he was here, his football skills are amazing. Apparently one of those really good sports schools wanted him but he declined. I'm Kidoh, by the way."

"Baekhyun." I shook his hand and he looked at Taemin.

"I'm Taemin, pleased to meet you. So how much do you know about the reason Chanyeol quit..." I zoned out of their conversation as Taemin started to go gossip mode. I returned my gaze back to Chanyeol.

As much as it amazed me to watch him, it also scared me. He was so serious and almost angry looking, which wasn't the Chanyeol I knew.

It almost made me afraid to approach him after the game... what if he was still like that then?

He tackled the guy with the ball, grinning slightly as the two fell to the ground.

I sighed nervously, playing with the ring on my finger, as I watched Chanyeol. As much as I wanted the end of the match to come quickly, I also didn't want it to come at all...

I bit my lip, bouncing nervously from foot to foot, when a hand suddenly held on to mine, squeezing it. I looked down at the hand, following the arm up to its owner, till I reached Taemin's face.

"It'll be alright." He said. I nodded returning my gaze back to the game.

After the halftime break, they all returned to the field. Once they'd reached the centre and had gotten into position, the game started up again.

A few minutes into the game, Chanyeol had the ball and was running to the other side of the field with it.

He was going to pass it to V, when V tripped, crashing to the ground.
Chanyeol paused, giving the guy behind him enough time to tackle him.

Even from the crowd, I could see that it would have hurt. Chanyeol was lying on the ground, not getting up.

Without even thinking, I jumped from seat to seat until I reached the field, sprinting over to where Chanyeol was lying.

"Chanyeol! Are you okay?" I rushed to his side. He blinked slowly up at me, smiling at me.

"Hey, Bacon..." He said, reaching up to briefly touch my face. I looked at him, panicking.

"Are you alright? Are you massively injured?" I quickly looked down at his body, trying to see if anything wasn't how it should be. Chanyeol chuckled, sitting up.

"I'm alright, Bacon, my breath was just knocked out of me." I exhaled in relief, smiling. Chanyeol's gazed travelled to my hand, his smile growing.

"You kept the ring..." He said, grabbing my hand and looking up at me. "Does that mean you like me?"

I nodded.

"Of course I do, I'm Chanyeol-sexual."

Chanyeol laughed, suddenly hugging me and sending us crashing to the ground.

"Ah, Baconnie, I love you so much!"

"And my work here is done..." I saw V standing near us, his arms crossed and a satisfied expression on his face. Taeyang walked up to him, nodding.

"Sorry, Chanyeol, for tackling you..." He said.

"I don't care, I have Bacon now..." Chanyeol continued to wrap his arms around me as I sat back up. I frowned up at V.

"What do you mean, your work here is done?" I asked. V smiled before looking at Taeyang.

"Well, I saw how depressed Chanyeol was and felt I should help get you two back together. I found Taemin and told him to get you to go to the football game, and got him to give me Luhan's number so I could call him and get him to slap some sense into you because I'd seen you two hang out before and figured he'd probably be the one to do it... I then suggested to Kai and Sehun that this football game would be a good opportunity to study our playing skills because I'd seen you and Sehun together and figured he'd go tell you. Then I just called up Taeyang and asked if he'd wind Chanyeol in the second half, which he said he would."

"After some convincing." Taeyang added. I stared up at V.

"So you were behind everything? V nodded. "You, the stupid alien, created this plan to get Chanyeol and I together?"

"Slightly hurt, but yes, I did." I shook my head in disbelief.

"That.. is impressive."

Screw good endings

Updated... That bit just above, 'screw good endings' will make no sense unless you read this before I edited it...

Basically the chapter ended really badly because I was in a rush. It's all better now. (Kinda)

I'll go now...
Bye
