Chapter 6

- Pass it to me! To me! - I heard Yongseok's voice on my right, clutching the basketball in my hands. The boys from the opposing team were already getting ready to attack.

     Feeling the increasing pressure, I awkwardly threw the ball, almost losing my balance. The ball flew in the right direction, but too close. It ended up in the hands of the opponent. I saw the irritated faces of my teammates. They didn't say anything, but they certainly had a lot on their tongues. After all, I had never contributed anything to the game before. And finally, the second semester of the 4th year of high school was underway. They must have had enough of me.

     The boys rushed forward to save the situation. And I stood stiffly, wondering if it wasn't the right time to kill myself.

     I always ended up in Yongseok's team. And I really didn't know if it was a reason to be happy or cry. Apparently I had to do these two things at once. It was not easy, but for almost 4 years of knowing each other, I got used to this type of situation.

     Yongseok was a great basketball player. As if it wasn't always like that. Sometimes I felt that he had planned everything carefully. From the very beginning, he knew what he would be good at. It was the same with basketball. He was tall, and the outfit perfectly hugged his well-muscled figure. I never forgot the sight of his abs.

     One time I got stuck under the basket with an opponent from the other team. He tried to take the ball away from me, and I could barely cope. Yongseok appeared out of nowhere, and with one hit he knocked the ball into the air. I didn't know what happened to you next because I focused on the boy's T-shirt, which rose up, revealing his body. I blushed all over, and forgot that I should move away as soon as possible. Yongseok bumped into me, and crushed me with his body. His clothes were soaked with his pheromones. I felt the alpha from every side. That was when I repeated 1 year. That's when we met, and that's the first time I've experienced something like that. For the first time, I paid attention to alpha pheromones, which were committing crimes on the most important muscle of my body. What surprised me the most was that I experienced it because of a boy.

     That brief moment was interrupted by a piercing pain in my leg. She was broken. I looked at Yongseok's face. She was just as blushing and ashamed as mine. Perhaps even more so.

     He didn't know what to do. It lasted a few seconds, but then I understood something. For the first few months of 1st grade, like everyone else, I believed Yeon Yongseok was perfect. He was always composed, he knew what to do, and everything worked out for him. Everyone was wrong, because his face turned into terror in a second.

     Yeon Yongseok wasn't perfect.

     All the time I was falling for a simple mask. I believed I wouldn't get any better, because Yeon Yongseok was the perfect angel sent to earth. I also tried to convince my mother, who hated my failures and beat me harder.

     When I got to the hospital, I hardly spoke at all. I didn't send the night, being angry with myself. I was disgusted with myself because I had fallen for the mask I wore every day.

     I was even more by how others were delighted with him and claimed that he was perfect.

     I told my mother, and at the same time myself, that I couldn't be better than him, because he was born to be the best. That he cannot be beaten.

     That night I spent in the hospital, I hated him. He was stronger, and he could endure the hardships of being the best. And I didn't succeed, which irritated my mother. Seo-hyun had good self-control, but when no one was looking, she had no problem taking it out on me.
