Today is the day I teach Jake to play basketball. I'm sure he won't be as bad as he said he was. I've seen worse honestly, but I don't judge. Although I would judge just one person.
Beomgyu.
He is so bad. I can't believe I even offered to teach him how to play. It's ridiculous because it's not like he'll pay attention anyway.
I pick up my bag and sling it over my shoulder, one strip on my shoulder. I tie my shoes and push open my front door before I look around to make sure I didn't forget anything. "Mom, I'm heading out now."
I was supposed to pick up Beomgyu, so I started walking to his house. It's not that far since we're neighbors but he lives a few houses down. I say it would take around 5-10 minutes to get to his house. Considering the multiple houses that look identical, maybe it'll be hard to detect the difference between houses.
Come to think of it. Most of my friends live somewhat close to me.
As I reach my hand out to knock on his door, he swings the door open and pulls me inside immediately. "Dude, what is going on? You never do this." I question. It's true, he gets a bit nervous about things, but never this nervous.
"I'm just a bit nervous since Taehyun wants to come."
Oh damn, okay.
"Just let him come," I roll my eyes and lean back on the door. I cross my arms "He won't do anything bad. He's a good person."
He nods nervously, "Yeah, maybe you're right. But, what if something goes wrong? What- What- What if—"
"What, what, WHAT. Nothing bad is gonna happen. Just trust your intuition." I pat him on the shoulder. "Now come on. We're running late."
"But!- Heeseung!"
"WHAT. NOW."
"...Nothing."

After driving for a few minutes (and picking up Taehyun), we finally arrived at the gym. I told Jake to meet up at the front, and to my surprise he actually came.
"Hey guys."
That cute smile of his never fails to make me happy. "Hey, Jake. Are you ready?"
He nods, I can tell he tried practicing by the way he's standing and how dark his eyebags look. "Never been more prepared. Well... Except for an exam..."
"That's great to hear." I say, walking into the basketball court, the air conditioning hitting my sweaty palms.
Beomgyu comes rushing into the court, hand and hand with Taehyun, while carrying a ball with him. "Sorry, I had to ask for a ball." he pants, trying to stay still. Taehyun holds him up for support, having a worried expression on his face.
"So... Are you guys ready?"
"Yeah, ready when you are."
I nod, waiting for Beomgyu to pass the ball. I don't even know why I did that, he never passes stuff.
I clear my throat as my arms reach for the ball. "Well, are you gonna pass?"
*Throw*
"Dude? What was that?" I yell, barely catching the ball from preventing my face getting hit. "This is why I brought you here."
"Sorry..."

After a few rounds, they started to get better. Especially Jake. His flawless moves and the way his hair looks perfectly in place. Not to mention his skin and—
"Are you okay, Heeseung? You look out of it." Jake asks, giving me my water bottle. "You can rest if you–"
"I'm okay."
"Oh, alright. Just making sure. Gotta look after a friend's back, hm?" He chuckles, patting my shoulder.
I nod awkwardly.
FUCKKK, why is it so hard to stay normal near him? All I want is to hang out with him... normally... and then ask him out. If that doesn't work, I will flee the country and change my identity.
Yeah, that works.
"So how was the first day of practice?" I asked, trying to make myself less socially awkward. "Was it hard?"
He shrugs.
"Yeah, I get ya."
...
"Hey, we should go on a picnic with the group. I've been looking for cute baskets with my mom lately. You should totally come with!" Jake exclaims.
I look at him. It was a random thing to bring up, but I didn't mind. "Sure."
A few moments of silence makes me unsettled. It's usually loud with Beomgyu around, especially when he's with Taehyun. And–
Wait.
Where are they?
