“facing fear”

౨ৎ

when their math class ended, yeoji gave the cookies she found on her bag to sunghoon to thank him. that was the only thing she had on her bag because they still have next classes so she can't go out to buy something. plus, she doesn't want to have debt of gratitude to others.

"thank you so much about earlier, sunghoon. i hope you can accept this", yeoji shyly said while handing the pack of cookies infront of sunghoon. but she can't even dare to have an eye contact to him because of shame.

"uh— you don't need to bother next time. but still thanks to this, rabbit", sunghoon said with a grin, and gladly accept the cookies from her even though she's not looking at him.

yeoji got irritated and badly want to argue sunghoon after calling her that nickname, but she manage to control her temper and walk away without saying a word. then, she went back on her seat and blasted out there furiously.

"what happened?", nara asked confusedly.

"that jerk is so annoying!", yeoji suddenly bursted out in annoyance. "i already gave him my cookies but he keeps calling me that stupid nickname!", she added, and nara was just looking puzzled at her friend.

while in the other hand, sunghoon was excused on their class due to an emergency meeting of the student council officers. so he went straight to the student council office happily while holding the color blue and brown pack of a familiar cookies that yeoji gave him.

"yo, chips ahoy!", his aussie best friend sim jaeyun or known as 'jake', that was also part of the student council as an auditor, greeted him as he entered the door of the student council office. but jake was referring to the cookies that sunghoon was carrying as if he wanted to eat it.

"this is mine", sunghoon said coldly to his best friend.

on the other hand, the student council treasurer, yang jungwon, also tried to snatch the cookie from his best friend but sunghoon immediately avoided the cookies from him and acted like he was protecting it from the two hungry gigantic monster. jake and jungwon pouted and already gave up, acting that they are sulking to their best friend.

"hey sunghoon-ah, why won't you eat that and share with us?", jake called his best friend with a grudge on his voice while sunghoon was just busy playing with his phone.

"right", jungwon agreed to jake.

"i'm not going to eat this", sunghoon replied nonchalantly to them while he was still focused playing on his phone.

"what?!", jake exclaimed loudly. "i mean- why?! who gave you that cookie that you seems treasuring it?" sunghoon just shrugged and ignored jake's nonsense complaints about the cookies.

"tell me, is it your girl—"

jungwon was cutted off to what he was about to say when the door of their office suddenly open. then a tall, handsome, and faired skin man entered the room. his uniform and his hair are both neat and clean and his posture is so intimidating like he was model. in a first glance, you already know who it is. well, it was just lee heeseung, their student council president.

"stop bickering, you three. we have no time left so we will start the meeting, now", he strictly said as he went infront of them to discuss. sunghoon doesn't even notice that the other students council officers was already there and they were only waiting for mr. president.

lee heeseung cleared his throat before he spoke. "good morning everyone, i'm sorry for the inconvenience but this meeting is very urgent. i know we still have classes but we also have a lots of things need to tackled up", he started.

"first and foremost, i received a message this morning from the heads that we need to submit the names of the players of some sort of games for the upcoming division meet. but we have a problem", heeseung paused and he look straightly to sunghoon. "they include the figure skating on the list of the games but we still don't have a player. so i am thinking that you, park sunghoon, will represent our school for the division meet", he added, as he pointed his index finger towards sunghoon's direction.

sunghoon was surprised and doesn't know how to react after of what he heard from heeseung. he already quit figure skating a long time ago for some reason yet he still haunted by it. "i don't think i can do that", he said.

"we'll talk about this later. for now, let's continue our agenda", heeseung sternly said as he continued speaking infront. he was really strict like mrs. lee, their homeroom adviser. no wonder why he was her son.

the meeting also include the celebration of their school's foundation week next month and a camaraderie night after the event. well, it is better to be advance rather than they will procrastinate the whole event.

sunghoon was too preoccupied by his own thoughts so he doesn't even listening to their other topics. his mind was just focusing only on figure skating that makes something inside him triggered negatively while thinking of it.

after the meeting, heeseung really convinced sunghoon to participate the game in behalf of the student council, and he still have two weeks left to practice. sunghoon knows he can't turned down heeseung's offer so he has no choice but to agreed on it.

"i guess, it's time to face my fear again."
