Izumi have a frown tugging her lips as she make her way to the bench, where the others are waiting for her arrival.
their usual bench consist of new faces, something izumi wasn't expecting. although she's anticipating it, somehow seeing hyejin lim wearing donghyuck lee's jersey — who played for intramurals to represent their department — still send a shock down her nerves.
"mukha kang sisiw." bungad ni jia sa kanya ng makita siya ng kaibigan.
she rolled her eyes as she release a scoff, badtrip pa din dahil natapunan siya ng kape, her white shirt now decorated with a coffee stain.
"badtrip talaga." she responded with a scowl.
"hintayin nalang natin si hyuck, baka may extra siyang damit." ani ni haeun dahilan ng pag pintig ng tenga ng dalaga.
somehow, izumi have always been conscious especially with her tittle as donghyuck's bestfriend — resulting for her to immediately glance at hyejin's direction.
"ayt, kay jaemin lang ako manghihiram." she answered while giving erisa a meaningful look, who easily understood where she's going.
the game ended long ago and izumi just happen to leave the field after the game to submit some paper works, and when lady luck decided to frown on her, the next thing she knew, a cup of coffee was already flying her way.
the photoshoot the athletes are having finally ended, slowly the athletes of the group slowly approach their bench, all fresh and tired.
they immediately greeted the team, nakipag-asaran pa siya kay felix but somehow, izumi can't find herself approaching his bestfriend who seem way too occupied with someone.
"oh, what's with the frown?" jeno chirp from behind her kaya't agad siyang napalingon. she playfully snorted as she rolled her eyes.
"wala, congrats pala. nice game cap!" izumi greeted gleefully with jeno smiling gratefully at her.
"thank you." he responded after they share a friendly hug.
"cherry." a deep unfamiliar voice suddenly chime from behind her, grabbing most attention from their group, lahat sila napalingon sa lalaking nakatingin kay izumi.
"ha, sinong cherry?" she exclaim, quite shock to see the guy once again. while the guy on the other hand, sweatdrop hearing her response.
"I didn't catch your name earlier." he responded. "sorry about what happened, bigla ka nalang din nawala. this is the only thing I can find on my car." he uttered, handing her the neatly folded hoodie.
"ay lol, akala ko kasi tatakasan mo lang ako kaya hindi na ako naghintay." she answered sheepishly with hit of discomfort feeling some eyes set on their figures — although most of her friends are not paying attention to them by now.
"uh, you make it sound like I did something or whatever." he snorted making izumi raise a brow.
"lah, ibang klase din utak mo ah." she laugh making the guy tug a grin as he shake his head.
"here, para naman di panget tignan na naglalakad ka ganyan ang damit." saad nito sabay abot ng hoodie.
Izumi roll her eyes before accepting the item, "kita mo to, kung dika sana tumatakbo diba."
"not my fault you're looking at your phone." he retorted.
"awts gege, salamat ng maramihan." izumi decided to end it there, the lingering stare making her uncomfortable.
"you're welcome cherry." she raise a brow upon hearing the nickname.
"zum, sino yan?" the two immediately look at the direction of the voice making izumi click her tongue lowly.
"wala, yung nakabangga sakin kanina." she simply responded.
donghyuck only nodded as his gaze move from the guy then to the stained shirt izumi is wearing. he didn't even know what she meant by nakabangga but oh well, the shirt gave it all.
"arat, samahan kita mag palit." he presented but with a blink of an eye, Izumi immediately turn him down.
"wag na." she uttered with a smile, but behind that smile she's wearing is an unamed feeling as her gaze fell on hyejin's figure for a split second.
"I'll accompany you then." the stranger uttered, "I don't want owing you anything." she added.
izumi snorted with a grin, "chansing ka lang eh."
"sana tinanong mo muna ako kung chix ka ba." the guy retorted making izumi fake gasp
"ay wow, gwapo ka? gago ka ha." she laugh.
"pasmado ng bunganga." he commented, "let's go cherry, don't keep your friends waiting."
Izumi snorted then roll her eyes, "awit, boss kita?" she uttered, "madali lang to mga tsong." paalam niya sa mga kaibigan.
"take your time gaga, car park nalang kami mag hihintay." izumi rose a brow upon hearing jaemin's statement.
"ha, akala ko mag d-dinner kayo with the team?" she question in utter confusion as she tilted her head to the side.
"di kayo sasama?" tanong pabalik ni donghyuck.
"hoy, nakakalito. kala ko parang guys night out kayo o ano." sagot naman ni izumi.
"teka so di kayo sasama?" tanong ulit ni donghyuck. "eun kala ko sasama ka?" dagdag pa nito.
"nah, pass muna. chilling kami tonight." sagot ni haeun.
mas lalo nalito si donghyuck, and here he thought it's okay to bring hyejin knowing the other girls are coming as well.
"kayo na mag desisyon dyan, kita nalang tayo carpark." with a final wave, izumi followed the guy who presented to accompany her.
and donghyuck watch with a frown, seeing izumi laughing with whatever the stranger told her.
'tsk'
