AND THEN YOU CAME

2 회

Basketball is booooring. I only love it when the cheerleaders are coming along, since we'll be excited too. Anyway, have i told you that i joined the cheerleader club? no? okay, now you know.

The only thing that keeps me entertained is Taehyung's handsome face.

"Hello there."

I turn, only to find Jimin, approaching me.

"May i sit here?" he asks, pointing at the vacant seat beside me.

I reply with a single nod, and then focusing my eyes on Taehyung again.

Oh, look at his gorgeous face! I can't-

"I'm sorry about earlier,"

I roll my eyes secretly, turning to the voice beside me.

"Alright. I get it. Don't keep on saying the same thing, okay?" I reply coldly.

The boy almost says sorry again, but halfway there, he realized and stops. Instead, he nods obediently, before looking down to his fingers.

Oops. Am i too harsh? I suddenly feel guilty.

"May i know your name?" he asks again, after a moment of silence.

I take back my words. I'll never feel sorry anymore for this talkative guy.

"Nam Jieun." I reply shortly, not sparing a glance at him.

"Ah," he mumbles. "beautiful."

I frown, finally turning to look at him. The last word was almost inaudible, but i heard it somehow. "Sorry?"

"I mean, your name is beautiful."

Well. Okay. Nobody.. absolutely nobody has ever said that to me. Not even Taehyung, not even my parents.

"Well, thanks." I don't even try to hide my flustered face.

He then flashes me a small smile. "Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable."

It's fine. I actually like it.

However, i don't reply and decided to ignore him instead. We don't talk anymore after that.

-oOo-

The guys are done playing. Taehyung approaches me as i stretch my arm to give him a bottle of water and a towel.

He grabs it and say a small thanks, just enough to make me light up in happiness.

"You can play with us starting tomorrow," Taehyung says to Jimin. "since the tournament is around the corner, you have to be prepared fast."

"Aye aye, captain." Jimin mimics playfully, making both of them laugh in the end.

"Anyway, has this rascal known your name? Does she still call you with that nickname?" Taehyung suddenly points at me with his chin, making me flustered.

Jimin laughs it off. "She knew. I'm fine with her calling me new student, it's just my day one here anyway."

I sulk, glaring at Taehyung. "Hey, don't make me look like the bad guy here. You know i'm not good in remembering names."

"That's why you get to learn, idiot." Taehyung flicks my forehead, which makes me flinch in pain.

Just then, the door is opened from the outside. Everybody turns, including me.

Behind the door it reveals. Another new student.

"Hyunae?" Jimin calls out.

Oh thank God Jimin. Hyunae, Hyunae, Hyunae...
