Joshua comes out of his last class exhausted. Math has made him tired, and all he really wants to do is get back to his apartment to take a shower, eat something and just go to sleep. He's got a lot of sleep to catch up on, and he knows this night will be useful for something other than studying endlessly. He makes a promise to himself to put aside his books and exams and actually sleep for once, because he sleeps so little that he feels he could collapse at any moment, so he owes it to himself to rest as he used to.

When he leaves his school, he passes the basketball court and sees young people having fun together, which makes him smile. His head is so immersed in school that he doesn't even have any friends, but when he sees a whole gang of young people together it makes him dream, and he wonders if he'll ever be able to experience that, even if he doesn't think so.

" Oppa ! Can we talk ? "

Joshua turns his head towards the voice, and he sees a pretty young girl approaching a boy, the latter holding the ball in his hands and putting his hair back in place, the black-haired boy's heart explodes, he's never seen a young man of his age with such beauty, nevertheless he doesn't understand why his heart hurts when he sees the blond kiss the girl, he just thinks it's envy, because he's never kissed anyone and it looks like something wonderful to experience.

" Can you please send the ball back to us ? "

The black-haired man frowns, the ball was... he looks down at his feet and he can see the ball at his feet how is that possible ? Was it in the blond's hands just a few moments ago ? Joshua doesn't try to understand, he takes the ball in his hand and goes straight to the field, he gives the ball to the boy he asked for, the boy thanks him smiling, Joshua smiles back and he leaves the field.

" Hey, don't you want to play with us ? "

The black-haired boy stops in his tracks and turns around, points at himself and the other boy sneers and nods, saying it's definitely him he's talking to, Joshua shakes his head negatively, says he's got a lot of work to do and needs to brush up, bows politely and leaves directly. When he gets home, the images of the late afternoon come flooding back. He can't stop thinking about the blond and his girlfriend, he didn't seem so happy to be with her, he seemed happier when he was just with his friends playing basketball, but that's just a guess he's not sure about. The young man sighs, drops his belongings on the floor and climbs into bed, so exhausted that he falls asleep in a matter of seconds.

[ The next morning ]

Joshua is on his way to school, and while he's alone as usual, he sees on the sidewalk in front of him the group of kids who were on the basketball court the day before. Joshua doesn't think any of them will recognize him - he's just another student, and yet...

" Hey, you're that boy from yesterday, the one who gave us the ball again and refused to play with us."

The black-haired boy simply nods and blinks when he sees the bluish-haired boy approaching him, the boy once close to him, places a friendly hand on his shoulder and smiles warmly.

" My name is Seungcheol."

" Cheol ! Can't you see you're making him uncomfortable. I know you're desperate because you're single, but that's no reason to jump at the first person you see."
