Zhanghao has never been interested in sports, and has no desire to be.
He's going to watch Hanbin practice with his friends. He tries to hide the fact that he doesn't feel like going, but he knows he has to be enthusiastic to watch his fake boyfriend practice basketball.
They enter the court and head for the stands, taking a seat and starting to watch the practice that hasn't started yet.
Zhanghao fixes his hair before looking for Hanbin, who hasn't spotted yet, "What?" he asks confused after hearing Matthew laugh.
"I can't believe I'm seeing the gayest boy in school, Zhanghao, doing his hair to look good for his boyfriend" Matthew says, bursting out laughing and Hao looks away embarrassed. It's obvious that his intention wasn't to do his hair to make himself more attractive to Hanbin, and it's obvious that even he doesn't know why he did it.
He looks at the players on the court and soon spots Hanbin, who is talking to the team manager. Zhanghao can't help but notice how Hanbin always listens attentively to people and how his beauty is so captivating that people's attention is fixed on him, and him alone.
"Guys Gunwook is waving at us" Taerae says happily to his friends as he waves his hand at his almost-boyfriend crush, causing Zhanghao to take his eyes off Hanbin. "He is so hot" Taerae says blushing after seeing Gunwook's broad shoulders and well-defined muscles, who smiles lovingly at him.
"And our Taerae is no longer innocent" Matthew says looking disappointed at his best friend who rolls his eyes laughing.
"Shut up Matthew oppa" Taerae replies sticking out his tongue.
"Don't tell me they always come to watch these games too" Hao says as he looks at the doorway to the arena, where Soe and her group of friends enter.
"Oh yes they are always here" Taerae says as he watches them, receiving confused looks from his friends.
"Do you always come to watch Gunwook practice?" Ricky asks confusedly, and Taerae looks at him with an embarrassed smile.
"It was the only way I could admire him from afar without being caught" he says, looking down at the floor, remembering when he used to come to watch his crush's training sessions and always sat in the back so people wouldn't notice him, but it was obvious that Gunwook had to.
"Your love story is so cute" Hao says smiling at Taerae, happy that he's found someone who really likes him.
"Yours too" Ricky says softly into Hao's ear, who stomps his foot hard, and Ricky tries his best not to let out a groan of pain, and Hao looks at him with a scolding look.
"Don't. fucking. start." he says slowly and Ricky nods and Hao removes his foot from Ricky's, smiling victoriously.
"Look Hao, your boyfriend's looking over here" Matthew says, tapping his friend on the arm to draw his attention to the fact that Hanbin is looking at them smiling.
Hao shifts his gaze to the boy standing in the middle of the court smiling at them with a satisfied look on his face.
Hao smiles at him falsely, pretending that he's enjoying being there and Hanbin realizes that he's pretending, so he looks away and starts to focus on the training that has just begun.
Ricky smiles as he looks at his boyfriend, who waves his hand at him, happy that he's there. "I love you" Gyuvin shouts to Ricky, who smiles embarrassedly and shouts back that he loves him too, receiving confused and envious looks from the girls who have only just noticed the quartet's presence.
Hao looks at the girls watching them and focuses his gaze especially on one who looks at him with too much hatred, the girl Hanbin was going to have an arranged marriage with.
Soe smiles at him with a fake smile and Hao can't stand it and returns it with the same energy, rolling his eyes immediately afterwards.
His friends start talking about training and other random things, while Hao simply watches Hanbin train attentively.
He had never seen Hanbin play basketball, and it wasn't something that was on his list of things to do either. He had always heard what a good player and captain Hanbin was, and whenever they played basketball in pe, the teacher always talked about Hanbin.
Imagine a confident and athletic boy, standing out on the basketball court, that's Sung Hanbin, the one who will always stand out in everything. He has an elegant posture, agile movements and an impressive ability with the ball, the way he throws it and easily hits the basket. His smile radiates confidence and his gaze shows concentration and ambition.
Hao can't hide his envy, Hanbin is simply perfect. He has everything in his favor, he has a guaranteed future at university and if he wants to become a professional basketball player he can do it in the blink of an eye, everyone worships him and everyone is proud of him, he is simply too perfect for this world.
The uniform with the number 13 on the front and back with the name Hanbin above it, highlights his well-defined and bulging muscles, and the precise movements with the ball and the way he passes it from one hand to the other to his teammates show the passion that boy has for the sport and for his teammates. He is the definition of beauty in motion due to his skills and captivating presence.
Unlike Hanbin, Hao is terrible at sports, especially basketball, and he can't understand how players can control the ball.
"You know that people can sense when someone is watching them too intensely, right?" Ricky says close to Hao's ear and he jumps.
"Boy what the heck" he says, putting his hand on his heart and calming his breathing. Ricky looks at him and bursts out laughing, receiving a confused look from his best friend.
"It looks like Sung Hanbin's got your heart racing so fast that you're about to have a heart attack" Ricky says quietly as he tries not to laugh too loudly.
"N-Nothing of that sort" Hao chokes out as he owes Ricky his gaze and looks back at the court, more specifically at Hanbin who is already staring at him.
Hao smiles weakly at him and Hanbin blows him a kiss with his hands, causing Hao to look at him shocked but then make a heart with his arms above his head, and Hanbin laughs at his boyfriend's cuteness.
Hao smiles provocatively at Hanbin and looks away to the girls who have seen the interaction between the two of them and fire seems to come out of their eyes.
He waves his hand at Soe, who doesn't pretend to be disgusted at the moment. She smiles falsely at Hao and then gets up and leaves the building with her friends.
"Finally its over, I couldn't stand looking at ugly boys any longer" Matthew says annoyed, he only went to see the training so he wouldn't be alone, and because of that he had to deal with his three friends in love.
"Hanbin is not ugly" Hao says without thinking and immediately opens his eyes after realizing what just came out of his mouth, he can already feel Ricky's provocative gaze watching him and ready to annoy him with it when they're alone.
"Don't forget tomorrow night, Hao" Matthew says, smiling at his best friend, who nods and looks away, seeing the players heading for the changing rooms.
Tomorrow night, that's what's going through Hao's head right now, it's going to be very difficult to fake something with Hanbin during dinner, but he's going to give it his all, and he also knows that Hanbin is going to do the same.
He gets up and the group goes out to the building, Hao takes one last look at the court and sees that none of the players are there, they're all in the changing room.
Why am I looking for him?
sorry for the late :(
