Yunho and San walked to the training center, making small talk on the way. As they opened the doors and headed inside, they saw the coach shouting at the other trainees, telling them to go faster. Yunho gulped loudly as he put down his things and greeted the coach, wrapping his arms quickly and joining the other for warm-ups.

Afterwards, the coach sits down the trainees and starts assembling a plan for the upcoming match. On the board, he writes the opponents, teams and all things necessary for preparations. Yunho tensed as he saw who he was competing against, fearing that he'd get seriously beat up. He was assigned to compete with two experienced trainees, both of them double his size. The coach saw Yunho's doubt and reassured him.

"You'll be fine, you just need to train more. I can see the abs coming through." The coach poked at his stomach, his tight tank top showing off his body.

"Alright everyone, to the gym." The coach picked up some keys and headed upstairs.

Everyone, including San and Yunho, cheered. It was rare that the coach would let them use the fancy gym upstairs,  with all the new equipment and a proper locker room. Everyone hurried up the stairs, some of them pushing others out of their way, wanting to get to the nicer equipment first. As the coach opened the doors, a gust of cold conditioned air blew against them, making Yunho shiver slightly.

It felt like the Hunger Games as the trainees rushed to their desired machines, immediately doing rep of whichever exercise they're doing. Yunho froze as everyone scattered, leaving him alone in the middle.

"Come on, go pick something. You need more training than any of us." Soobin appeared from behind him, throwing a small towel over his shoulder.

Yunho looked around and saw a dip machine nearby. He sat down, reading the instructions before doing a couple of sets. His arms started to feel more pumped up yet sore, pushing through reps. After a while, he let go and went to find another machine. As he looked around, he noticed himself in the mirror; his arms grew triple the size, pumped up almost cartoonishly compared to the rest of him.

He thought it would be a good idea to start training his core, since he get sensitive whenever he gets hit there. He laid down on a mat and started to do some crutches when his phone started to beep wildly. He sat up and saw who kept texting him, to his surprise, it was Y/N.

Y/N: "heyyyy" - 5:47 PM

Y/N: "wyd?? you free??" - 5:47 PM

Y/N: "i wanna hang out again" - 5:47 PM

Y/N: "can i come over to ur place??" - 5:47 PM

Yunho chuckled at the desperate tone in her messages. He replied to her quickly.

YH: "I can't right now" - 5:48 PM

YH: "I'm at boxing practice" - 5:48 PM

There was a slight pause before Y/N answered again.

Y/N: "WAIT YOU DO BOXING???" - 5:49 PM

Y/N: ":O" - 5:49 PM

Y/N: "is that why ur arms got bigger??" - 5:49 PM

Yunho chuckled at her reaction, heat slowly rising to his cheeks.

YH: "Yeah :)" - 5: 50 PM

YH: "Also we can hang out after I'm done, maybe 7 pm?" - 5:50 PM

Y/N: "okiee :D" - 5:50 PM

Yunho heart fluttered in his chest, glad to see Y/N again, at his house. He was about to reply to her message until he heard a voice behind him.

"You're meant to be working out, not texting your girlfriend."

Yunho sharply turned around to see another unknown trainee squatted behind him, peering over his shoulders to look at his messages. Yunho immediately blushed at the thought of Y/N being his 'girlfriend'.

"Oh no we're not dating." He said sheepishly. 'Not yet'

"Doesn't matter, put your phone away or coach is gonna take it." The trainee walked away and went to the treadmill.

Yunho shoved his phone in his pocket and continued his crutches, his core tightening. After a while, the coach blew the whistle, which signalled that training was over and they could go home. After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Yunho finished freshening up and was about to head back until Soobin stopped him.

"Hey bro, wanna get some food?" He asked.

"Oh sorry, I'm meeting up with someone." Yunho declined politely.

"Who?" Soobin suddenly smirked, "Is it that crush you got?"

Yunho froze up and blushed, "..Maybe."

Soobin gasped dramatically and laid a hand on his forehead, "You're all grown up now!"

Yunho rolled his eyes playfully, "Whatever, see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, see ya."

And with that, Yunho grabbed his bag and headed out of the training center, a slight skip in his step as he thought about seeing Y/N again. The evening sun had started to dip below the horizon line, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. The warmth of the day was fading, replaced by a cool breeze that made him  feel more refreshed after his intense workout.

As he walked toward the bus stop, his mind wandered back to Y/N. He made up scenarios of how he thought the hang out was going to be like; maybe they could watch something together, or cook something, or paint together. Yunho snapped out of his thoughts as the bus arrived. 

The bus ride felt longer than usual, his excitement growing with each passing stop. When he finally arrived at his apartment building, Yunho hurried inside, taking the stairs two steps at a time. He had just enough time to tidy up before Y/N arrived.

He threw his bag on the hanger, quickly cleaning up the living room and making sure there was nothing stray lying around. Yunho took a quick glance in the mirror to make sure that he looked presentable enough; his hair still slightly damp from the shower, a clean T-shirt, and a pair of comfortable sweatpants. He nodded to himself, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement.

He then sat in his room, fixing his hair every 5 seconds, worrying that she might not like his looks. He then got nervous as the clock neared 7, pacing around his room in a hurried manner. Finally, the doorbell rang and Yunho almost jumped to answer the door.

As he opened the door, he was met with Y/N, in her Hello Kitty pyjamas and the hoodie jacket that he gave her. He didn't realise he was ogling her until she spoke up.

"Stop staring and let me in already."
