The Key To Your Heart (Seventeen Fanfic)

Chapter 2: Suspicion

With a flying speed, one ball speedily raced towards my direction. Tilting my head slightly to the side, I swiftly avoided the throw. Another one, from a different direction flew my way. Again, I easily dodged the ball and picked it up thereafter.

Not many people seemed to be left. Only the three of us against the five of them. I saw that one them already seem tired as I saw him pant heavily. It was Seungkwan.

I smiled slyly and threw the ball with a rapid speed in his direction. As he didn't see it coming, he was easily hit and out of the game. "Sorry, Seungkwan!" I yelled to the other side as I saw him groan.

"Yeonhwa, why?!" He nagged as he left the field. "It's your fault for standing there like a sack of potatoes!" I shouted back. Being too distracted by him, I didn't realise another ball was coming my way.

Before it could reach me, another person blocked my way. Towering over me, I noticed his tall length and stood still.

As he turned around with the ball in his hands, he smiled brightly before hitting the opponent with the same ball that was thrown to me.

"Thank you, Hansol." I grinned before we continued the game and finished it with a win.

Inside the dressing room, I quickly changed my clothes. It was silent. No one was in the room since I purposely entered the room as the last one like I usually did.

Rummaging through my bag, I looked for a small box. Taking it out of the bag, I opened it and slipped off the amulet like metal piece that hid the locket around my neck. Putting it back in the box, I placed the necklace under my blouse and hurried out of the room to the next class.

In the hallways it was still quite busy. Students still hung around, chatted with each other or were on their way to the next class. Five minutes were left until the next bell.

As I decided to quickly store some books in my locker, I felt something shift under me, causing me to lose my balance. When I saw myself near the floor, I automatically blocked my fall with my arms, trying not to land flat-faced on the ground.

Yet, before I could come in contact with the cold hard concrete floor and let myself become an embarrassment, two arms safely wrapped around my frame and prevented the fall.

In his secure and warm arms, I looked up, staring at him wide-eyed.
His sandy blonde hair seemed to be dramatically blow to the back attractively, revealing his handsome face as he saved me and pulled me towards him. The short-lasted moment soon faded away and struck me with the realisation of our awkward position.

"T-thank you." I stuttered before pushing him away all flustered. "Junhui."

"You're welcome...Yeonhwa." He smiled gently as he still hadn't let go of me. When my eyes uncomfortably shifted to his hands which still rested on my back, I let out an awkward cough, hinting him. He seemed to have understood and soon let go of me.

His eyes landed on my neck, the necklace had dangled from under my shirt and rested visibly on my collar.

With narrowed eyes I saw him have his attention focused on the jewellery.

"It looks rather intriguing." He vaguely remarked as he reached out for it. In reflex, I slapped his hand away and gasped in shock when I realised what I had done.

"Sorry!" I bowed apologetically for my rash and unmindful action. I quickly hid the necklace under my shirt again and continued apologising. "No, no, it's fine. I shouldn't have been so rude to begin with. Sorry about that." He looked at me sincerely, knowing his faults.
