[01]

after the championships, it just came back to normal football and after school practices.

"10 laps around the track field and 50 jumping jacks and pushups!" our coach instructed. a bunch of groans of laziness filled the air. i glared at them making them all shut up and run around the track with me chasing them so we could get this over with.

"give us a break, jeongguk!" yugyeom yelled running faster. i was pretty much known for my stamina and fast running. i am pretty bulky too. they have every right to be afraid of me.

while running, i spared a glance over to the cheer team who seem to also be practicing. i noticed eunha's flirtatious wink that was directed to me. i scoffed and continued to run around, almost done my 9th lap.

who is eunha? well, she is the most popular or most 'prettiest' girl, in some peoples' eyes, in the school. even though i show her that i'm not interested in her, she thinks we're a couple. it's not like in those stories where the most popular guy in the school flirts with every girl in the school and gets them preggo. ew, no!

i'm a loyal man. i want to only be with my significant other. it can either be boy or girl since i'm bi, but more on the guy side but some people just don't take the hint like eunha.

i finished the warm-up and sat on the bench to wait for my fellow members.

my mind floated back when i made eye contact with an art student after the championships.

i admire every single feature evident on his face. plump lips, mesmerizing doe eyes, a cute little mole on his n-

"snap out of your pinkie pie land, jeon!" the coach scolded.

i gave out a small sigh and jogged over to the team which then we started to play a few games.

after practice, i once again sat down on the bench, giving myself time to catch my breath. my head was down low but became the opposite as i heard footsteps coming towards my direction. it was a familiar figure but once i figured who the culprit was, i groaned frustratingly.

"hey, baby," eunha whispered seductively. she sat down right beside me on the bench, her hand is a little too close to my thigh for my own being.

"what now, eunha?" i kept my gaze onto the floor.

"i know you love me, jeongguk," she whispered her hand finally making its way on my thigh.

right then and there, i had enough. i stood up and walked away to somewhere but eunha.

"w-wait, jeongguk!" she yelled out. i just simply ignored her and went inside the school.

i decided to just roam around the school, giving all authority to my legs and feet.

i stopped in front of the school's library. how did i get here? i have no clue.

i debated whether or not should i go inside since i'm not really a reader. but something urged me to go inside.

guess what? i actually went inside.

as soon as i stepped inside, all eyes were on me. i coughed awkwardly as many wide eyes stared at me in confusion and shock.

the head of the football team, bulky, fast, and handsome, stepped inside the library, now trying to pick a random book of his interest.

"need some help?" a deep and soothing voice asked. i flinched at the sudden voice and turned around to see the boy from the empty football field.

my mouth gaped as i examined his features. he was much prettier up close.

ugly really isn't in his dictionary, huh?

"e-excuse me?" the same voice snapped me out of my daze.

"a-ah. i need help to find the mangas," i said awkwardly.

a deep chuckle came from the boy's pretty lips.

"jeongguk. you're in the non-fiction shelves." he smiled.

"o-oh..." i croaked out embarrassed. i could feel blood rush to my cheeks as i rubbedthe back of my nape.

"here, i'll show you where the mangas are." the cute boy offered.

"thanks... but how do you know my name?" i asked looking straight into his beautiful chestnut eyes.

"who wouldn't? everyone is shocked seeing you here." he chuckled making my heart do flips like a cheerleader.

he leads me to the manga section and started explaining how to find the books.

"thanks." i smiled.

"no problem jeonggukie. if you need help again, i'll be up at the counter." he smiled back, his eyes turning into crescents and lips forming a box-like smile.

as he was just about to walk away. i suddenly remembered something causing me to grab his wrist making him squeak.

"i didn't catch your name." the boy's face went from startled to soft.

"taehyung." he said.
