In my DM's ; The Boyz

6

It's been a few days since I had gotten help from Chanhee as well as apologized to Kevin. We have a sports day today, and we've been preparing for it, so I've been preoccupied with practicing for the race I'll participate in with Sujin. Everyone is in their sports uniform and setting up for today's events. I'm sitting with Sujin on the bleachers and I can't help but notice the massive group of people ahead, The Boyz, accompanied by a flock of female students. Sujin and I are doing some of the races, like the 100 meter dash, and the relay. To make sure I'm in a good condition, Sujin and I go to stretch and warm up our bodies. Soon after, we hear the student announcer.

"Everyone, gather around and stand for the national anthem." They say. We all stand for the anthem, then I go to my place, as I'm racing first in Girl's 100 meter dash. I make sure to look at Sujin who's on the bleachers for this race, and feel confident. I'm getting in place in my lane, and can't help but notice the group of boys who are watching the racers. I exhale, and wait for the gun to sound. I hear the pop and begin to sprint as fast as I can. I only run, and when I pass the finish line, I look back to see that I'm the first one to get there. Excitedly I run to Sujin and we jump excitedly. I then hear the announcer.

"Girl's 100 meter gold medal goes to Hyerin!" Followed by a mass of cheers from my fellow classmates. Since I'm not doing the next race, I decide to go to the drink fountain to hydrate a bit. I watch as the boy's 100 meter dash starts, and Juhaknyeon, the most sporty guy out of The Boyz, has a massive lead on the other racers. He wins first place and I'm not surprised. Him and his group celebrate happily and I can't help but laugh a little. After a few more games, it's the Girl's 400 meter relay. Sujin and I are both running it along with two other girls, and they made me the last runner that way I can either make a lead or close a gap depending on how it goes when they race before me. The race starts and everyone's cheering. The first girl passes on the baton to Sujin, who receives it well, and passes it on to the third girl. I get in position and try to get rid of my nerves. I start running and grab the baton from the girl. All the other girls are decently far behind me, and I know because as I turned the corner I looked back. Doing that though, resulted in me falling and scraping my knees. I quickly get back up and keep running because I want to win for Sujin, and surprisingly, I still make it to the finish line first. As I make it, I'm surrounded by a flock of cheering students and we all cheer happily for our win. The only thing I didn't notice are my bleeding kneecaps and the fact that I fell right in front of The Boyz members.

Noticing my knees, I tell Sujin that I'm going to the little first aid pop up that's by the track, to get some bandages. The nurse says she has to grab more materials, and so she heads inside the school, leaving me alone on the little medical bed. I carefully touch my knees, trying to wipe off some of the blood, but it stings too much. I decide to just sit there and look around when I catch someone staring at me. It's Juhaknyeon ! A bit surprised at the sudden eye contact, as well, I just remembered I never answered him the other day, I look away quickly. As soon as I do, I hear the announcer. "Boy's 400 meter relay winners, Changmin, Sunwoo, Hyunjae, and Juhaknyeon!" The message is followed by cheers, as I get my knees cleaned and bandaged. Soon after, the winners of each race and game are called up to receive their medals. I go up, and receive my 2 medals, happily chatting with Sujin when I get a tap on my shoulder.

I look back to see Juhaknyeon. "Hey, congrats on first place, twice." He says smiling at me. Feeling awkward I smile back, and say, "You too, but congrats times 3." He smiles at me again and I feel a tug on my arm from Sujin. I follow her into the school and we get changed, now that the races are over. Exhausted, I slump in my chair and groan at Sujin who suggests we go for a walk. She raises her hands in defence and laughs as she sits in front of me. We chat happily until we hear a knock on our classroom door.
