Seventeen imagines

#153 "Could it be...?"

Seungkwan is messing my peaceful life.

We've been classmate since junior high, however his existence were never connected on mine. Strangely, now that we are in senior high, whenever I look, he is always there; helping me when I am in need.

"Gosh, did our homeroom teacher ask you to bring these heavy books again? Your arms are so thin, I am afraid these books will make those fall out. Come one, I'll bring those instead," Seungkwan offered before getting the books from my palms. "Then, see you later," he waved goodbye after a cringy wink.

That was the third time he helped me carrying those books for our teacher.

"It's cold. Wear this scarf," Seungkwan offered when he saw me outside our school gate.

I looked back, wearing a blank expression I was born with. "Why should I wear that? We are not even close though."

Seungkwan chuckled. Then he wrapped the gray, rose scented scarf around my neck.

"Because your neck is too pretty to get expose. You know, men nowadays want to have a bite on that kind of neck," he teased. And he ran away again.

As I held this scarf, I can feel the warmness in the middle of this white Winter.

After class, my teacher asked me to get our basketball club's team captain, Choi Seungcheol. And so I went to the basketball court, but found no one.

"I guess Seungcheol, that jerk, went out to play again," I mumbled. About to walk out, when I saw a ball lying beside my left foot.

Basketball.

That precious person came inside my head whenever I think of this sport.

I leaned down and picked up the ball. It is heavy and too big for my hands.

"Basketball is tiring. Why do people loves it when all they do are running, sweating and tiring themselves?"

My arms raised and about to aimed the ring from a good distance. However, someone held my wrist making me gasped. "~Ah!"

To my surprised, I saw Boo Seungkwan standing behind my back. "Wrong. The way you hold the ball is wrong. You will hurt your wrist, idiot," he chuckled.

Now that I am looking at his face by an inch away, I just realised Seungkwan is quite handsome. His eyes are twinkling like those stars I gazed upon every night. His lips looks squishy, like a strawberry pudding I am craving yesterday.

Why is he appearing so pretty this time?

Why is he being so cool?

And why am I getting fluttered by it?

I pushed him away, tilting my head as I avoid his eyes as much as possible.

The ball fell down, bouncing up and down, "ba dump ba dump~". It's sounds are playing rythmically along with those crazy beats of my heart.

I held my chest, clenching it because I am afraid he might hear the sounds.

This is a mistake. I need to straighten things before it will go wrong by my hands.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"Doing what?" he responded. He got the ball and made a three points shot. My heart skipped a beat when the ball went it. Ugh! That was weird!

"Being so nice to me. For three years and a half, I've been an outcast inside our room. But now, you were approaching and acting like a friend. What is your motive?"

Perhaps... could it be the way I am thinking?

Seungkwan...

You...

To me...

Am I...?

"Should I tell you the answer tomorrow?" he said. "Come to the school's rooftop tomorrow. I'm going to tell you an important thing. Okie dokie?"

Seungkwan turned around and started to walked out. While his back are slowly fading away, my knees are getting weak. I fell down on the ground, breathing heavily as I catch some air to feed my lungs.

Tomorrow huh?

He will answer it tomorrow.

My night went longer than I expected before the sun rose from the east.

I used to drag my feet on the way to the school, but now, it feels as light as feather. Maybe, this is the first time I came to school this early.

Before I opened the door to our school's rooftop, I fixed my hair and make sure that I am wearing his scarf around my neck.

Woah. I never know meeting someone who I used to saw everyday before was this exciting!

I opened the door and saw him staring up in the sky.

This is it. I need to prepare myself.

"I'm here," I greeted.

Seungkwan looked at me, and our eyes met.

Last night, I was researching all night about the possible outcome of this meeting. He always helped me, he complimented me and even doing a skinship. Exactly, there is only one answer- LOVE CONFESSION.

"Now that I am here, tell me the reasons," I said.

Seungkwan smiled shyly while scratching his nape. "A-Ahhh, this is so embarrassing but, yeah. I need to brave."

Damn. I am already expecting what will be his answers, yet I am this so nervous?! My hands keep on shaking like hell!

"(y/n)," he called my name.

This is it. I need to calm down!

"You know, for the past few years, I am..."

Am...?

"I am... in love with..."

I knew it. He is in love with me.

"I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR OLDER SISTER!"

He is...WHAT?!

In love with my older sister?! N-NOt me?! B-but how?! W-Why?!

"Y-You are... what? In love with my sister?"

"Yes! Can you help me?!" he asked with those sincere eyes.

Dear life, this is the first time I realized that I found my first love. However...

"Get lost Boo Seungkwan."
