"You sang beautifully," Kyungsoo complimented. Classes were over for the day, Kyungsoo and Hazel being the last ones to leave.

"Stop," said Chanyeol, blocking Hazel at the doorway. He was awaiting her outside the class.

"You're coming, right?" Chanyeol asked, his tall stature leaning alarmingly closer to Hazel.

Kyungsoo pushed him away by his chest, "Better keep your distance."

"Come where?" Asked Hazel puzzled.

"Oh my God! My heart," Chanyeol dramatically gripped the left side of the chest as though an arrow had pierced right there. He saw her staring at him blankly and he stomped his feet like a kid. "Basketball court? At 4? Forgot?"

"Oh!" She glanced to her side at Kyungsoo, who was glaring at Chanyeol with eyes wide like that of an owl.

"She won't be coming," said Kyungsoo nonchalantly.

"And what are you? Her mouth piece?" Scoffed Chanyeol.

Kyungsoo grabbed her arm and proceeded to walk.

"Woah! Not so fast, mate," Chanyeol caught hold of her other arm.

Soon, both started pulling her towards them like a game of tug O' war.

"Guys, stop it! I'm hurting." She forcefully broke loose from their grasp. "Kyungsoo, I'll be joining him for today," she said.

"But--," he was cut off by her.

"It's okay," she said, giving his hand a firm squeeze.

"Fine." Kyungsoo sighed. "But be home early. Don't hang out with him for long."

She nodded in understanding and pinched his cheek.

"Are y'all dating?" Chanyeol asked, looking at them.

"No!" She said outright.

Kyungsoo gulped feeling bitter. "I-I'll call you up later."

With that, Hazel and Chanyeol were left together. "Are you interested in sports?" He asked while they climbed down the stairs.

"Yes I am." She beamed. "But I never get a chance to play."

"Oh, why's that?" Chanyeol asked.

"Since childhood, I've been wanting to play... basketball in particular. But the playground would be full of guys and my parents wouldn't allow me to go to the ground."

"Looks like you have strict parents," said Chanyeol.

"Yes, they are." Hazel agreed.

The two exited the school's entrance door and walked on the sidewalk spanning the orange running tracks.
