Kato Iyana sighed as she made her way down the stairs that led to the soccer field in front of the school. she had left the cafeteria after eating her lunch, leaving the couple by themselves. As the sun beamed on her, she looked at the huge field covered in green grass, and multiple white lines on designated spots. There she saw a male figure standing in the middle of the field, on one half of the huge out-lined circle. the more she walked closer to the male figure she realized it was her other best friend, Kim Sunwoo.
Kim Sunwoo, a forward on the school's boy's soccer team. is a bit popular with girls in the school, athletic, and insanely attractive. He had been Iyana, Chaeyeon, and Intak's best friend ever since the last year of junior high. he has charismatic and chill personality was one of the features that caught the girls' attention. along with his curly dark brown hair and charming gummy smile.
he drifted his attention off the soccer ball that he was holding in place with one of his feet. As the soccer player saw the Kato girl making her way towards him, in a heartbeat a grin appeared on his face.
Today was the day Kim Sunwoo was going to confess his love for Kato Iyana. Their first encounter was at Sunwoo's mother's salon. when Iyana's older sister went to get her hair done and dragged her little sister along with her. Sunwoo was instantly captivated by her beauty, her brown almond eyes, her high nose bridge, and the clear gloss applied to her heart-shaped lips. He fell in love at first sight. her carefree and delighted nature brought him even more. She was the type of person you could get comfortable with due to her honest but light-hearted opinions and statements. to him, she was like a cherry pie, sweet and loving and couldn't be resisted by any means. He truly fell in love with her.
"you placed a letter in my locker?" she questioned immediately, finally being face to face with him, with a small grin on her face
"yeah, I want to tell you something," he admitted, and looked deeply into her brown orbs, involuntarily his gummy smile appeared on his face, as he maintained intense but relaxed eye contact, the class after lunch bell rang throughout the school. however, the duo stayed in place
"Kato Iyana," he started slowly, taking a few steps closer to her, close enough where she could hear his heart pounding. his breath hitched, as the words he kept in for years spilled out
"Will you be my girlfriend," he confessed, Iyana widened her eyes at the out-of-the-blue confession, she wasn't expecting this at all. especially from one of her trusted best friends. her mouth was dry as the Sahara desert, she had no thought in her head how to reply. The silence between them was interrupted by their classmates sticking their heads out the window, screaming out "Say yes" multiple times. Iyana glanced at them and looked back to Sunwoo.
"Can I tell you later?" she whispered, looking back at their classmates' intense gaze, she gulped at the sight and being pressured to answer Sunwoo
"of course take your time," he agreed as his heart dropped, she nodded at him with a fake smile and made her way back to her classroom

"She could have just rejected him right there, no need to let the boy wait," Jaemin snorted after seeing the confession the soccer guy had given to the girl. He backed away from the window, chuckling lowly to himself, and looked back at his group.
he locked eye contact with Renjun who was sitting on a stool and looked up from his painting, on the canvas in front of him. He shifted his eyes to the person next to Renjun, Jeno who was playing cards with Jisung. Jaemin shifted his gaze onto Chenle and Mark looking at random girls on Instagram and messaging them with pickup lines. As he was about to remove his eyes off the idiotic thirsty boy, Haechan suddenly jumped off the ledge by the classroom's big window
"I'm going home," he blurted with a sigh escaping
"How? it's the middle of the school day?" Jeno questioned, simultaneously putting his last card down, winning the game between him and the youngest boy in the friend group
"Tell them I have a headache no big deal," he nonchalantly said and closed the art room's door.

The slow autumn breeze kissed right on his cheek as he ducked under the secret broken hole in the school's fence that was all around the perimeter. behind the school was a forest, where Haechan would go and spend his time there. he felt at peace being by himself and not being bothered by anyone. he would just have the whole forest to himself and nothing on his mind
But the thought of Sunwoo dating Iyana kept creeping back up in his mind. He tried his best to get it out of his head and stop overthinking about a situation he didn't have to worry about at all. After all, he has no meaningful feelings for Iyana or Sunwoo. The Kato girl was a family friend and Sunwoo was just an acquaintance Haechan had since he was younger, not thinking of him as a rival.
Sunwoo proposing to Iyana continued to itch his mind. Why was he suddenly getting worked up, maybe because he never saw Iyana, the girl he grew up with having a relationship with some other guy. He tried to pass it off like that, but when did he start to care about her? He barely even knew her before the summer of high school.
Haechan stood up from the ground and went back to school when the bell had just rung. perfect timing. As he made his way to the school's gateway, his eyes caught on her glowy, silking brown hair, each strand cascading around her shoulders, the wind was on cue blowing her hair back as if she was in a hair commercial.
Her cute but beautiful side profile caught his eyes more than anything. She had round almond eyes, plumped pink cupid bow lips, perfectly shaped arched eyebrows, effortlessly long curled eyelashes, and a tiny mole on the left side of her face. hold up. Why the hell is he paying so much attention to her?
He just told himself he didn't even like her and barely knew the girl but now is taking everything of her facial features deeply.
"Whatever she is just lucky to have a nice side profile," he thought to himself, denying the everlasting fact that he found her attractive. after all, she is just some random family friend girl, right?
