[M] I HATE MY FUCK BUDDY | YEONBIN

IHMFB : TWENTY TWO

Football practice began once more. While on a break, the school made the indoor court bigger, so the boys could practice football there since it was cold outside.

Yeonjun was back to being an asshole. An asshole football captain.

"I just want him to stop being an asshole to me, that's all." Soobin told Beomgyu, who rolled his eyes.

"Well, he's not gonna stop being an asshole. That's all he knows to do. Be an asshole." Beomgyu said.

"Also eat one." Soobin mumbled to himself, and Beomgyu stopped running, putting his hands on his knees, and fake threw up on the ground.

"Beomgyu! Soobin! Don't stop running!" Yeonjun's commanding voice came, Beomgyu and Soobin looked at him, and began to run again.

"Yes." Beomgyu said.

"Yes, sir." Soobin said, and Beomgyu's eyes widened, while Yeonjun looked at him— and Soobin just stopped running and covered his face with his hands.

"Did you just call him sir?"

"I didn't mean to!"

Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun, who was jogging ahead, his cheeks red. He laughed, looking at Soobin, who's flustered, "Let's keep running."

After jogging, they did passing exercises and all this other stuff. Practice got over quickly, and the coach asked them to huddle up, "Boys, we better be ready to win the Seoul Football Championship again, okay?" The coach yelled, and the boys all shouted in triumph.

All the boys dispersed towards the locker room, loitering around.

Beomgyu ruffled Soobin's hair, "I'm gonna go back to the dorm 'cause I forgot my towel, okay?" Beomgyu said, and then ran off.

Soobin opened the door, seeing and hearing all the boys talking loudly, all shirtless. He heard the curses and names of the girls—as usual. He walked towards his bag and took his towel and a fresh set of clothes out.

Suddenly, the room went kind of silent.

Soobin took his shirt off and then turned around, and froze when he saw all the boys looking at him.

The boys all looked kind of hesitant. Soobin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and then heard a cough.

"Fine, if no one else will, then I'll say it." Jongho said, and Soobin looked at the boy, standing by his friends.

"Choi, we don't want you in here while we're changing." Jongho said.

Soobin's eyes widened, and he gulped, "But why?"

Wooyoung sighed, scratching the back of his neck, because damn, this is an awkward tension.

"I-It makes us k-kinda uncomfortable-" Wooyoung said, and Soobin saw all the boys looking at him, and felt himself grow smaller at the looks.

"-'cause you're gay and stuff."

Soobin gulped, "I-I won't look! I never did. You've all changed with me in the room before, it shouldn't matter-"
