Worlds Away ONE SHOT [ATEEZ yeosang x EVERGLOW onda]

2.

"Are you interested in me, Yeosang?"

Serim was almost sure he wasn't. However, being almost sure of something wasn't her thing. So, she thought that outright asking could at least take off the question from her mind.

"I'm not sure what you mean...?" He let out those words almost choking on every single breath, slightly backing away from the close distance they were at. It wasn't that he refused to let her know. It's just, he felt the timing not right. It also might have been an automatic response from the anxiety that arose in his body in this situation. "You don't?" She frowned, slightly crunching her nose while tapping her nails on his armrest. "You should probably go, it's getting late. The dorm is closing soon..." He turned away from her, eyeing the doors, lights still bright inside the building's entrance.

The blond let out a frustrated -and long- sigh. He wasn't denying, nor confirming. The player straight up avoided her question, she wanted to push him further, but she felt like it could quickly turn awkward for her. Especially if he only acted out of politeness and she had misunderstood it. "Then, thank you for the ride." To be completely blunt, she herself couldn't understand why she felt so upset, almost mad for his answer. It was quite noticeable though from the rather loud slam of his car door, making him widen his eyes startled.

He watched her go into the building, still wearing his jacket. She had forgotten. Yeosang didn't mind, he smiled feeling a warmth inside his chest as his eyes followed her figure until she had gone up the stairs.

Well, he was definitely going to be in trouble for this though.

The next day. Indeed, he was in trouble.

Yeosang remained still, hands both behind his back while he reluctantly looked up to check his coach's expression. Golden rule for his team, never forget your uniform.
It wasn't like he could tell his coach that he lent his crush his jacket and ended up letting her take it.

"You were out of it yesterday. Now, you're coming to training without the proper clothes?" The elder spoke, his voice sternly ringing in his player's ears. "Won't happen again, coach." The other replied, holding back a smile as he pictured the blond in his jacket once again. He had no regret about it at all.

Serim sat up on her bunk bed, rubbing her eyes as she yawned. This is what a night out did to her, she slept in and was still exhausted. In fact, the ballerina would've stayed in bed all day if she could. "1pm..." She read outloud from her phone, before jumping up -hitting her head against the ceiling in the process- as she saw a text pop up on her phone.

Hi, it's Yeosang! Hope you slept well? Are you free this evening ??

She rubbed her head, glaring at the ceiling then back to her phone. Weirdly enough, it kind of offended her that he behaved so normally after what she had asked the night before, giving her an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach. "This evening?" Serim leaned against the wood bars of her bed, her eyes gazing at the boy's jacket that was placed on her chair.

Hi. I have something planned for today, Yiren will return your jacket to her brother. I forgot to give it back yesterday, sorry.

"And sent." She clicked on her phone, staring again at the jacket before sighing while resting her head on the wall behind her. "Maybe that was too dry..." She grabbed her phone glancing at the screen worryingly, then took a deep breath shaking her head, brushing it off to get up from her bed.

It was when the blond got into the shower that her phone screen lit up.
