Chorong's POV

I can't believe this! I am seeing Kris with my own eyes after four days that felt like forever, and he is walking towards our table. "Kr---"

"Chen, Chanyeol! In the gym, now!"

He commanded them like he didn't even see me.

Both Chen and Chanyeol stood and replied at the same time.

"Ne, hyung."

He left with them.

Bomi, Eunji and NaEun all diverted their attention to me.

"Did he just---"

But I didn't let Bomi continue her sentence. I was too embarrassed of myself at the first place. "Well.. That's what it's supposed to be. We aren't even friends at the first place."

And I haven't told him about what happened in Han River last time. It should remain as a secret forever.

I like you.

His voice still lingers. Yes,  I quiverred at that confession, but I was too cowardly to fight for it.

I deserve to be treated like this.

"Hey girls."

We all looked at the person with a familiar voice calling us.

He smiled which is a rare scene. "How is it going here?"

"Tao!" Eunji squelled like she was the most happy among us seeing him again.

I was shocked to see him as well. It had been a while since he came to school. We didn't know what happened to him after the game. Then we just heard his parents died from our homeroom adviser, and now he is back smiling at us.

"Are you officially back?" asks Bomi.

He nodded. "And I'm back being Chorong's seatmate."

Eunji elbowed me. "Hear that?"

My eyes widened at her sudden teasing. Is she back to being our shipper? No way!

Kris's POV

"Hyung, why can't I join the team?"

Jackson has been pestering me about joining the basketball team since the day he arrived in Korea. But I always say he can't and ended the conversation.

"Hyung, let me join please.. jebal.. jebal.." following me like a tail.

"Well you can't because you're too short."

Everyone's attention was caught by the person who answered him.

"Gege! That's unfair! I can jump high!" Jackson protested to his older brother, Tao.

Luhan approached me and whispered, "Are you two..?"

I answered him with a smirk. I'm too lazy to explain.

"Hyung." Tao greeted me with a hug.

"Yah! If people would see this, they'll be in a coma." Yongguk commented. "How could the two rivals become so close, they'll be in a total shock."

Sehun laughed. "Don't you think this serves for a celebration?"

"Yeah. Treat us for dinner!" Another guy who just entered the gym shouted, it's Minseok, with Kyungsoo, Baekhyun, Zelo and Henry.

They were all smiling as they entered the gym and approached us.

"Yo! Okay!" Lay greeted them.

They all greeted each other with hand gestures like what guys usually do as if they never competed with each other.

"Hyung... are we gonna be.. one?" Chen gave me a clueless face.

I didn't answer him. "Thank you for coming." I told Tao and everyone. "Starting today, we are happy to play with you guys. Not as our rival  but as our teammates."

"Kkaeb song~" Baekhyun said like singing. I don't have any idea what it means. "I never thought this would happen."

"Yah!" Henry interrupted. "I'll cook for everyone for dinner later."

All screamed.

"How about me, hyung?" Oh, I firgot Jackson is here.

"Yah. Dongsaeng. I think I have a job for you." Luhan put his arms on his shoulders. "But you have to enroll here first."

"You'll let me in the team?"

Tao also put his arms around Jackson. "Aniya. But I think what Luhan hyung think suits you better."

It's a nice feeling to be close again with my cousins, and also with their friends.

Like it lessened my burden and problems. The only thing remained is...

Chorong.

I had been quietly watching her from our store's CCTV, secretly following her as she goes home, and desperately looking up at her at the window of her classroom. Jackson had been teasing me for being a stalker. But what can I do? She doesn't want me near her.

And another thing. I just dunno why Tao came back so suddenly today after I called him last night.

I asked him why this morning, but he told me it's because of my basketball team offer.

I told you if you don't move, I'm gonna get her.

That was what he said last in the phone.

Does it mean...?

MWOYA IGEO?!!!

I shouldn't have called him!!!!
