Dunk Dazed and In Love (bxb)

Chapter 1

*

Kim Sunwoo and Im Gitae are in the 9th garde. They met in kindegarten and have been friends since then. Even when Gitae had to move away because of his mother's work they managed to stay friends after he moved back to his old house. They shared a class from the 7th grade until 9th grade.

Once the bell rang, their class ran back to their class. Sunwoo went and sat back in his chair with his book in his hands. The class "jokesters" saw him and decided to stir up some water. "What do you have today, cupcake?" Beom, the class "jokester" came with his group and surrounded Sunwoo in his desk. It was common for the "jokesters" to taunt or make fun of Sunwoo for being a little "girly" in the class. No one says anything since Sunwoo has never spoken up about them or against them so people just took it as boys being boys. Sometimes they'd make certain noises like a soft and squeeky moan whenever Sunwoo would enter the class or pass by them. It annoyed him but he decided to keep his mouth shut to stay out of trouble.

"What do you want?" Sunwoo asked as he hid his book in his desk.

"Ncaw, come on. Don't be selfish, man. Share with the class what you're reading today." They snuck their hands in his desk and forced the book out. It was a romance novel with a very obviously cheesy cover with a man hugging a woman from the back. The group laughed after seeing the cover.

"Oh man! That's really something, haha! What kind of boy reads shit like this? What are you, a fag?"

"Yeah, I know right."

"Give it back." Sunwoo got up and tried to snatch the book from him but two of them held him back as Beom read some of the book.

"Oh Johny, how could I possibly leave you? You're my one and only." He read in an exaggerated way. He chuckled right after. "I could never leave, not especially now since I'm pregnant with twins."

"Argh, jeez. That's really cheesy I can actually smell it."

Someone snatched the book out of Beom's hand. It was Gitae who towered over Beom. Beom immediately turned around and faced Gitae annoyed a little. "The fuck are you doing? We were just playing around, man. Don't kill the fun."

"If you were just playing around why are your lackeys holding Sunwoo like that?" He asked with an eyebrow raised. He took a step closer to Beom and leaned in closer to his face a little. Beom bent back while keeping eye contact. They kept eye contact for a long silent and intense moment until Beom gave in.

"Fuck." He got off Sunwoo's desk and went back to his desk along with his friends. Gitae kept his eye on Beom until he sat down. Beom avoided looking at Gitae though. Gitae sat down right after into his shared desk with Sunwoo.

"What were you reading anyway?" Gitae opened the book after sitting down only for it to be snatched out of his hand immediately by Sunwoo.
"Um?"

"You wouldn't like it." Sunwoo tucked the book into his desk.

"You never know." Gitae faced Sunwoo.

"You don't even like to read unless you're forced to- wait." Sunwoo stopped once he saw the bruise on Gitae's cheek. It looked like someone had punched him very hard on his cheek. "You were fighting again." Sunwoo sighed with an eyebrow raised.

Gitae cleared his throat before facing the front. "No. I wasn't."

"You are clearly lying. I can see that someone bought you one right in the face."

"Look, I'm fine. It's just a little bruise." He faced Sunwoo again.

"When will you stop with this fighting nonsense? I remember you promising to stop once we get to the tenth grade. At this rate, you're never going to stop."
