"What? What was that....I answered his question, and he replied with a mere 'okay' ?" Euijoo thought, as he grew annoyed at the guy, not satisfied with the other's response.
"Your hair colour is very outstanding, but are we even allowed to dye our hair?" Euijoo queried.
"Why not? They can't rip my hair out, can they?" The guy said while rummaging through snacks on the shelf.
"Well, it's still against the rules of the school, how are you not suspended yet?" Euijoo asked, once again.
"I don't know, leave me alone." The guy replied, in a tone so insolent, it pissed Euijoo off.
Before Euijoo could say another word, the guy walked away towards the cashier.
"What an underbred brat" Euijoo muttered under his breath.
-
As Euijoo walked home, with a bag full of food, he pondered about the red-haired guy.
"He's an interesting guy, but so ill-mannered"
He stood at his front door, "Mom should be asleep by now" He said as he checked his phone.
2:46am
He opened the door, and just as he thought, his home was as quiet as ever, as dark as a lake.
-
As Euijoo rested upon his bed, snuggled under his warm duvet, he couldn't help but think of the red-haired guy.
"His body is so well-defined"
Euijoo tossed and turned until he fell asleep.
-
The next day at school, Euijoo sat quietly at his desk, reading a book on human anatomy.
"Why is that man naked" Someone stated which made Euijoo look up, to meet the gaze of his friend, Takayama Riki, Taki for short, whose head was hidden behind the book.
Taki was referring to the textbook diagrams of the human anatomy, where images of the human body were abundant across the pages.
"It's for my research studies, don't think too much" Euijoo explained, slightly grinning at Taki's remark.
"How was soccer practice yesterday? I didn't see you on the field after school yesterday, did you skip again?" Euijoo asked.
Taki looked away, seemingly avoiding the question, as if he was guilty of Euijoo's prediction.
"Taki....One more skip and you'll be kicked out of the soccer team!" Euijoo reprimanded.
"Hey! I was busy yesterday! I had to attend....a meeting!" Taki defended.
"Yeah yeah, anyways, let me ask you. There's a guy in your soccer team with bright red hair, who's he?" Euijoo asked Taki.
"Oh! He's one of our mid-fielders...Why? Are you interested?" Taki smirked at Euijoo, raising his eyebrows.
"NAHHH!! He's a little weird. Yesterday he got on the same bus as me, and coincidentally went to the same convenience store as me." Euijoo stated, waving his hands around, blocking Taki's accusations.
"Yeah, so?" Taki seemed disappointed.
"That's not all. I accidentally bumped into him while walking and he was so rude! And when I accidentally blurted out his purchase, a strawberry sandwich, he asked me whether I liked strawberries??!! How weird is that?!" Euijoo said, almost shouting.
"Um, well, he isn't the brightest of the bunch, that's all I can say" Taki shrugged and returned to his desk, leaving Euijoo stranded in his own emotions.
"Lol" Euijoo sighed and continued with his research studies.
-
During Physical Education lesson, Euijoo's class headed towards the field. Unfortunately, the field had to be shared among two classes.
The students from both classes were challenged to face off each other in a dodgeball competition.
As his teacher explained the instructions of the competition, Euijoo looked around the field, and spotted a familiar face.
That red-haired guy.
He quickly turned to Taki, who was behind him, and mouthed, "Your mid-fielder!!!"
Oblivious to the situation, Taki loudly said, "WHAT?!" Catching the attention of everyone.
Euijoo looked away from embarrassment.
-
As Euijoo got warmed up for the dodgeball activity, he couldn't help but look at the red-haired guy again.
As his eyes landed upon the red-haired guy, he was shocked. Why was he in the splits?
"Dang alright, he's weird." Euijoo said out loud.
"Who is" Euijoo jumped at the sudden comment. It was Jo, another friend of Euijoo, mostly reserved and quiet.
"Ah, no it's nothing hehe..." Euijoo said, giggling at his own stupid action.
"Oh...Well, good luck for the dodgeball activity!" Jo encouraged, holding both his hands in a fist in front of Euijoo.
"Thank you, Jo!" Euijoo bumped Jo's fists.
-
As the activity commenced, it started off intense. Two classes of 40 students each ran around the field like air particles. Dodgeballs were seen flying across the air at turbo speeds, seemingly dangerous if someone had gotten hit by them.
Slowly, more students got eliminated, decreasing until the final two remained.
The red-haired guy was one of them.
Euijoo stared intensely at him, scanning his every movement. The guy had an aura of flames, his eyes were glued onto the ball, his movements were sharp, his speed was insane.
Slowly, Euijoo's gaze ran down along the guy's arm, biceps, waist, abdomen. He admired the prefect squares printed against the guy's shirt, mesmerized once again.
A loud sound interrupted his gawking session.
Ultimately, the red-haired guy had won the game, with swift movements, he was able to catch the ball thrown at him.
"Good game guys" Euijoo high-fived his fellow classmates.
-
'Ding dong dang dong'
Students swarmed the hallways as the bell sounded, mountains of people rushing through the narrow corridors of the school. Everyone was pressed against each other, making it hard for Euijoo to breathe.
Suddenly, Euijoo felt a hand sliding across his back and held his waist.
Freaked out, Euijoo jolted his head towards the direction of the hand's owner.
That shining red-hair.
