There was an embarrassing silence. I secretly looked at him in between. I was still embarrassed about what happened to us. Then I noticed that he was also looking at me secretly, as we looked at each other at the same time. We both froze and turned red. After that, we looked at our book again. After a while, I asked: „Don't we want to do something else? We can go play basketball. There is a basketball court nearby." Eun-woo liked the idea and I quickly ran home to get my basketball. Elijah saw me and asked, „Who do you play basketball with?" I just said that I would play with friends and didn't mention Eun-woo because I was afraid that Elijah would get angry. „Don't come home so late!" he shouted after me when I left the house. As if he were my father. I came home when I wanted, unless my mother called me to come home. So I went back to Eun-woo with the ball. He was wet from top to bottom. „What happened, Eun-woo?" I asked confusedly. Some children came to him with water buckets and sprayed him wet because they thought it was funny. In addition, he had a white T-shirt on and it was transparent. When I saw it, I turned red again. His wet hair somehow made him even more attractive. „Everything okay, Y/N?" he asked me. I didn't answer him because I didn't listen to him and stared at him. After asking for the second time, I replied that everything was okay and that I would bring him clothes from my brother. It was good that the library that was nearby had a toilet so that Eun-woo could change. I quickly ran home again and asked my brother if I could have clothes for „a friend" and explained the situation to him. Then he gave me the clothes and I gave them Eun-woo. After he put on the clothes, he said thank you and we went to the basketball court. He was very good at basketball and also had better chances because he was very big. By very big I also mean very big. Once he lost the basketball and he ran after the ball, which happened to roll in my direction. I took the ball and Eun-woo hugged me. My heart pounded very quickly and didn't stop. I was so nervous. Why did he hug me? Was my thought. Then he let go of me and he seemed just as nervous as I was. We both just stared at each other until he said stuttering: „A- so, eh. How did you find my new perfume anyway?" Perfume? Which perfume? He didn't wear one and I didn't smell one either. Nevertheless, I said that I thought it smelled good. After that, he was a little agitated. While we continued playing basketball, I wondered why he was lying? I really didn't smell any perfume. At some point I just tried not to think about it anymore. While playing, Eun-woo noticed that I was really bad at throwing in baskets and that's why he tried to help me. I took the ball and stood in front of the basket. Eum-woo stood behind me and put his hands on mine to show me how to throw. I only looked at his hands and had heart palpitations again. That day we had many touches and embarrassing moments. That was too much for me. Despite everything, he was a good basketball teacher and I improved. For this he praised me and I praised him for being a good teacher. For this he offered me to continue training. About 2 to 3 times a week. I accepted the offer so that I could beat my brother at some point. After a while it got dark. My brother has already called me permanently. Eun-woo accompanied me home and I thanked him for the beautiful day, which he also did. So I went in the door and the first thing Elijah said was: „I told you not to stay outside for so long! The sun has already set. Where were you and who were you with anyway?" Finally, I was brief and explained to him that I played basketball with my friends outside and that they took care of me. After all, I already got home at 8 p.m., only it got dark early. Not even my mother was so overprotective. I understood that he was worried, but he also knew that I had good friends who helped me or protected me if there was something. Then I went into my room annoyed. I could only think of Eun-woo. In my mind, I thought again that I should stop thinking about him, because I was not allowed to fall in love under any circumstances. That's why I distracted myself and talked to Jenny on the phone. So I couldn't distract myself better, because I also talked to her about him and that's why I just watched videos.
