The best time ever, in Jiwon's definitive opinion, was about to begin.

Football season for the kids.

"Aren't you so excited?!" Donghyuk asked Chanwoo as they walked through the corridors, about to leave school to go home, and Chanwoo shrugged.

"I guess."

"Wait." Donghyuk came to a stop, holding onto Chanwoo's wrist so he'd stop too and Chanwoo tuned to look at him with a raised eyebrow, inwardly wincing at the sad look Donghyuk was giving him. "You're not excited?"

"Well, I mean, it's not like the team's going to be released today or anything. I've got time to be excited."

"Nooo, it's not just that. There's something else."

"Yeah, being that I'm bad at football and the only reason that I'd ever get on the team is because of my dad," Chanwoo said, rolling his eyes and nodding when Yunhyeong joined them, wrapping an arm around Chanwoo's shoulders. "Hey."

"That's not true at all. Remember that one time you defended, you did quite well!" Donghyuk argued, crossing his arms but Chanwoo shook his head as they resumed walking, and Yunhyeong just looked confused.

"That was because you were attacking so well that the ball didn't really have a chance to get where I was," Chanwoo said, catching a paper ball that had been thrown at them by accident before pettily throwing it right back, looking at Donghyuk who had let out a strangled noise from annoyance, clearly not agreeing with him.

"But you kicked it away once!"

"So what?"

"Did I come at a bad time?" Yunhyeong asked worriedly and Chanwoo shook his head, smiling briefly when Yunhyeong pressed the sides of their heads together. Donghyuk was thinking deeply, wondering if there was anything else he could say to try and change Chanwoo's mind but-

"Don't try, Dong. I know I'm useless, okay?"

"Don't you dare say that!" Yunhyeong gasped in horror, making Chanwoo giggle but Donghyuk didn't giggle or even smile. He knew Chanwoo was athletic. He played basketball and rounders well, he had better hand-eye coordination than probably anyone in their year and the fact that football wasn't his strong point was the most unfair thing in the entire world because, Donghyuk knew how much Chanwoo loved it. How much he'd watch the others playing the game with longing eyes whenever he felt like he shouldn't interfere or he'd mess things up, which always happened when he did. At least in Chanwoo's perspective.

Soon, Donghyuk saw Junhoe so he waved at Chanwoo who nodded at him. "Don't think too much about the thing with me and football. I'll enjoy it whether I'm on the team or not, it's not like it hurts that bad, we're just kids."

Donghyuk nodded, reaching over to give Chanwoo a half hug which seemed to surprise the latter. "Okay, it just makes me a bit sad. As long as you're happy, though, that's the best thing."

Chanwoo slowly smiled, nodding as Donghyuk rushed off, and Chanwoo's heart fluttered when he felt Yunhyeong kiss his cheek. "You okay?"

"You need to stop doing that," Chanwoo mumbled, avoiding the question as he felt his face burning up and Yunhyeong laughed brightly, hugging Chanwoo from behind which just made it worse.

"You didn't answer meeeee-"

"I'm fine, really."

"I don't know much about football but I know practice makes perfect."
