“ice, camera, jealous”

౨ৎ

their one week pleasure vanished like a bubble. it is because their school's foundation week is over, and after that will be the beginning of their last semester for the school year.

and because of that, their seniors have been busy for their graduation, so the organization of yeoji which is the school paper is recruiting new student journalists because they are lacking of members.

and that's when yeoji met kang hyunwoo and kim sunoo. hyunwoo was their newly recruited sports writer while sunoo is the new feature writer. they really need some new members despite the others are graduating, but they still need to release a school newsletter.

instantly, the three of them immediately became close. yeoji and hyunwoo are partners to release a sports article because that's what they were assigned. yeoji is a photojournalist whil hyunwoo is a sports writer so they know that they will get along to each other.

yeoji also thought that they make sunghoon their subject for the sports feature article because she knew that he was practicing now for his upcoming regional competition so hyunwoo just agreed with her.

"i'll take care of talking to him", yeoji said, enjoying the blueberry cheesecake that hyunwoo brought while the two of them and sunoo were talking in the cafeteria.

"sounds like a plan," hyunwoo agreed, taking a bite of his cheesecake. "i'll start drafting the article outline."

sunoo, who had been quietly listening to their plans, smiled. "you guys are really into this, huh? it sounds fun."

"it is," yeoji replied, wiping a crumb off her lip. "and it's even more fun with friends. by the way, sunoo, what’s your first feature going to be about?"

sunoo's eyes sparkled with excitement. "i’m thinking about writing a piece on the hidden talents of our school’s students. did you know that our math prodigy, jisoo, is also a fantastic violinist?"

"no way!" hyunwoo exclaimed, genuinely surprised. "i had no idea."

yeoji laughed. "see, this is why we need someone like you, sunoo. you’ve got the eye for the interesting stuff."

the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. "alright, i’ll see you guys later," yeoji said, gathering her things. "i’m off to find sunghoon."

yeoji texted nara earlier that she will not gonna eat lunch with her because of her campus journalist stuff, so her best friend just agreed with her because she knew nara were always there to support her. then, yeoji walked towards the library, the place she knew sunghoon would probably advance studying. as she entered the room, the cold air nipped at her cheeks, but despite of that, she saw a familiar figure of the man she was looking for so she hurriedly went to his direction.

"hey, sunghoon!" yeoji called out in a low voice as she approached the rink.

sunghoon gaze went on her, stopped his writing  and giving her a warm smile. "hi, yeoji. what brings you here?"

"we're doing a sports feature on you for the school paper," yeoji explained, maintaining her low voice so the can't get heard. "hyunwoo and i will be working on it together, and we wanted to get some good shots and an interview."

"hyunwoo, huh?" sunghoon said, a slight edge to his voice that yeoji didn’t miss. "you two seem pretty close these days."

yeoji chuckled lightly. "yeah, he's great. we work well together. but don't worry, you're still the star of the show."
