heeseung's pov

i rested my head in my hands with a deep sigh - school was stressing me out lately with the piles of exams and although i knew i would get top marks, i still worried.

however, sunoo and beomgyu distracted me with their constant bickering. right now, they were sat on my bed whilst i was at my desk solving equations. their loud voices were not helping me concentrate either.

"we are going and that's final!" beomgyu shouted, causing my eardrums to nearly explode. 

"but i wanna stay at home!" sunoo argued back.

i turned around in annoyance. "can you guys shut up? unless you're the one doing quadratic equations then i'd suggest you be quiet."

this made them shut up. for five seconds.

"well, what do you think, hyung?" sunoo piped up.

"about what?"

"do you wanna go to the football game tomorrow or relax at home with me?"

i shrugged. "i have to study tomorrow so neither."

beomgyu rolled his eyes. "all you do is study. why don't you stop being such a nerd and watch the game with me?"

"i honestly could care less," i replied, turning back to face my revision sheets.

"come on!" beomgyu whined again. "pleaseee?"

"buy me lunch for a week and i'll consider it."

he blinked for a second but then grinned. "deal!"

"hey, that's not fair!" sunoo complained and crossed his arms. "what if i buy lunch for you instead?"

i raised an eyebrow. "since when did you have money for your own lunch?"

"whatever.." sunoo grumbled.

beomgyu and i decided to attend the football match tomorrow, much to beomgyu's excitement. sunoo insisted that he was staying home watching his tragic romance dramas. the only reason beomgyu wanted to go was probably because of his long-term crush, taehyun, who was on the football team.

"what time is it?" i yawned tiredly.

"like 11:30pm. we should probably go and you should probably sleep," beomgyu patted me on the back and they scurried downstairs.

"i can't wait!" beomgyu jumped in joy and sang an off-key tune which made me wince. we continued heading to our literature lesson which the older had a hard time with. luckily he had me as a friend and i offered to tutor him now and then.

"are you going to be watching the match or taehyun?" i remarked, earning a blush from him.

"excuse you!" he retorted. "i actually like football."

"mhm," i dragged out sarcastically. "name me all the positions right now."

"well, there's the goalkeeper and um.." he was at a loss for words and i shook my head.

"you only know goalkeeper because of taehyun."

"that is not true!" beomgyu crossed his arms.

as soon as we entered the classroom, we sat down next to each other and slung our bags off our shoulders. the teacher was lecturing us about topics i already knew which bored me. i looked to my right and spotted beomgyu fast asleep.

i was about to wake him up when the teacher's stern voice cut through my thoughts. "choi beomgyu!"

he shot up instantly and rubbed his eyes, scanning his surroundings in confusing. he met the miss hwang's cold gaze and gulped nervously. "y-yes miss?"

"answer to question three?"

he snuck a glance at me and i mouthed the answer as discreetly as possible. unfortunately, she spotted us conversing and issued us both after school detentions on the following monday. i glared at beomgyu who looked unbothered, probably since he received one everyday.

"at least it's not on the day of the match," he whispered. i rolled my eyes and focused back on the teacher's monotone voice. god, could she speak any slower, i thought drowsily.

"that was the most fucking boring lesson of my life!" beomgyu complained as soon as we got out and i had to agree with him. miss hwang's classes were probably the worst out of all my subjects.

"all she does is yap!" he continued rambling on.

we managed to find sunoo in the cafeteria with a stranger. beomgyu and i exchanged looks before walking towards them.

"oh, hi guys!" sunoo exclaimed. "this is chloe. she's new to the school and i'm her tour guide."

we nodded along and introduced ourselves as we sat down. chloe seemed like a kind person so we accepted her into our friend group immediately. beomgyu also invited her to the football match after school which she happily agreed to.

"see? this is how you guys should've reacted," beomgyu chastised us. i ignored him and flipped a page of my book.

after school, we headed to the field where students from both schools were piling in. the loud atmosphere was really pissing me off but free lunch for a week reminded me to stay.

"isn't this great?" beomgyu beamed, practically shouting over everyone's voices. we settled into our places at the bleachers, standing up. if i had to last through an hour and a half like this, my legs would surely ache by tomorrow.

ten minutes later, we spotted both teams jogging out with their numbered shirts. i had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. i could be home catching up on revision but of course beomgyu dragged me here. the cheerleaders from both sides were on the sidelines with their colourful pom poms in their hands.

"somebody help me," i whispered under my breath.

"you'll be fine," beomgyu assured me but then gasped. "it's taehyun!" he diverted his attention towards him and started clapping for him, earning a couple of stares around us but he obliviously continued. i slapped his hand and groaned, followed by my apologies.

"what are you doing?" i asked incredulously. "put your hand down and stop embarrassing yourself."

he listened but i saw the glint in his eyes whenever taehyun received the ball. i had no choice but to watch too. i directed my gaze to a certain person on the field who looked quite cute, even though his face was barely visible from his headgear.

i nudged beomgyu who was beside me. "who's number 5?"

"oh, him? that's sim jake."
