| ara's point of view

His voice traveled through my ear like a chilly breeze and I felt it all over my body once he whispered those words. My eyes trailed over to his in confusion, "What are you even talking about?"

He tightened his grip on me, "You know exactly what I'm talking about."

I shook my head. "The way you were staring at Seungyoun like that? I hated it." He growled.

What is he, a mind reader? How did he even notice I thought Seungyoun looked good...was I that obvious? I sighed, "Seungwoo it's not even like that."

"From what I saw you looked like you were in love with him." He complained while yanking his arm off my waist and brushing it over his hair, "You know what I shouldn't even have said anything, you're so stupid."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "What is your problem? So what if I thought he looked handsome, what does it have anything to do with you?"

He snapped his head in my direction, "So you were thinking he looked handsome? Fuck, I knew it."

I sighed out of frustration, "What does it matter! I don't know why you're getting so mad over this."

"It's because I-" before he could lash out his whole sentence, the gym doors burst open and there stood Miss Kang holding Kookheon by his ear.

"Ow Ow Ow!" Kookheon whined while on his tippy toes. I looked over at them and tilted my head as to why kookheon would be here getting dragged by Miss Kang.

Once Seungwoo saw the two, I saw his body tense up even more from before. Kookheon connected his eyes with mine and he smiled slightly. I smiled a little back.

"Idiots, you have company. Kookheon will be helping you clean this gym from head to toe due to me catching him skipping class. Carry on then." She pushed Kookheon towards us before turning on her heels and exiting, "Supplies are in the janitors closet."

Kookheon rubbed his ear in pain while approaching me, "Hey you."

I set my mop aside and flicked him in the forehead which caught him off guard, "Don't hey you me, what were you doing in the hallways cutting class?"

He stumbled backwards before letting out a giggle, "Come on, we all do it once in awhile."

I crossed my arms at him, "Kookheon I'm serious. I don't want you getting in trouble."

He pouted before ruffling my hair, "Aw, you worried about me? Don't worry Ara I'm fine." He then turned towards the janitors closet, "Better start cleaning before the devil comes back."

I sighed and turned back to my bucket just to see Seungwoo burning holes into my body with his glare.

What the fuck is going on with him?

I saw him break eye contact with me and he set his mop into his bucket before turning where Kookheon was and started walking towards him.

Uh oh

| seungwoo's point of view

"Hey." I said sharply to Kookheon who in return turned around quickly to the familiar voice.

He took a fast glance at Ara before looking back at me, "Long time no see, Seungwoo."

I rolled my eyes at his mention of my name, "Looks like you still remember me huh?"

Kookheon looked down while adjusting his mop, "Wasn't too hard considering seeing you already sticking around Ara." Then he looked up, "Which is so creepy by the way."

I raised an eyebrow, "Oh is it? Didn't I catch you with her a few times? Seems like you still want to stick to her just as much as I do."

He tilted his head, "Still? Are you trying to imply something else?"

I shrugged, "That you were in love with her back then? Yes, I am."

He held his head up high while stepping closer to me, "Funny how you're acting like you weren't in love with her as well."

I put my hands up in surrender, "I didn't deny anything. In fact, I still am in love with her right now."

"Me too. So why don't you back off, yeah?" He said with a tight smile.

I gritted my teeth, "And why should I do that for you?"

"I don't know maybe because you had your turn five years ago, it's my time now." Kookheon stated very sternly.

My eyes glared at his strongly, "Five years ago we both lost our chance with her, I never had any chance."

He chuckled at that, "Seriously? The beginning of freshman year before her accident, when she so politely asked you out and you rejected her? Don't you remember?"

I tensed at that. I totally forgot about that even happening. But the only reason I rejected her was because I didn't want to ruin the friendship we spent so much time building. He doesn't know that tho. Now he thinks he has the upper hand on me.

Fuck

"That was in the past." I said kind of confidently but still shaky.

He gave me a fake pout, "Still happened, still rejected her. Like I said, you had your chance and you threw it away." His hand gripped his mop tightly, "I've always been in love with her and my feelings have never changed unlike yours."

My nostrils flared, "My feelings haven't changed either. You don't know anything."

His chuckles increased, "Really? You dating all those girls in the past just didn't cross your mind?"

"I didn't even know she went to our school! What am I supposed to do, hold back on dating cause I loved Ara although she didn't even know who the fuck I was?" I yelled quietly at him.

He shrugged, "That's not what I'm saying. I'm just thinking it seems like you didn't even try to get her back. If I had the chance I would make her remember me and chase after her, but I moved."

He's right

"We were young, Kookheon. I was selfish and naive and didn't think I could get her back." I admitted tightly, "But now that I have her again I'm not backing down."

"She loved you back then and you didn't even care, but all of a sudden you fake date her and now you want her?" Kookheon said in an annoyed tone, "Now that I have her I'm not backing down either."

I clenched my jaw, "What happened to us being friends?"

He desperately looked at me, "You've got to be kidding me, really? Once I moved, you ignored me and blocked out any contact from me when I tried so hard to get to you...what kind of 'friend' does that?"

I looked down, "I just...I didn't want to be reminded of Ara okay?....it hurt so much....us being together wasn't gonna happen because she forgot us and I didn't make the effort to help her remember so I just ignored everything associated with her...including you."

He chuckled in pain, "Wow, you really are still selfish. Ara doesn't deserve you."

My eyebrows furrowed, "What's that supposed to mean? Ok, I messed up before but I can't lose her now...I love her."

He licked his teeth while looking to the side, "So do I, Seungwoo. We both can't have her so stay away with your fuckboy feelings." He said lastly before dragging himself away from me with his mop and bucket towards Ara. I sighed and bit my lower lip.

Guess it'll be just like old times, I thought as I looked up to see Kookheon laughing with Ara.

Let the games begin then.
