3. Besides Daeun and Doyoung, no one else can know about the contract

4. Always attend parties together.

5.  Respect each other's private life. Never ask too much.

The rules of their 'relationship' were very simple. They could probably pass for a regular couple with how natural Yuta seemed, but Iseul was still trying to adjust. 

"Hey, bambi." He leaned against the wall by the door as he waited for her. He took her bag from her and slung it over his shoulder. "Let's go?"

"They look so good together."
"He's such a gentleman."
"Stan a loyal man like Yuta."
"No wonder why he never showed interest in girls."
"Iseul is such a lucky girl."
"She's dated the two star athletes, hasn't she?"

"You didn't have to carry my bag. I have shoulders for a reason." Iseul mumbled, trying to keep up with his long strides. 

"I need to look the role, don't I?" He grumbled, eyes fixed on their path. "And what do you have in here for it to be heavy?"

"I'd say my dignity but I left that at home." Iseul joked. "Just a couple of books and some other things."

"Is 'some other things' rocks or something?" He questioned, not minding she ignored his question. The rest of the way to the locker room was quiet but at the least wasn't awkward at all.

Iseul felt a wave of nostalgia hit her the moment she walked in. The interior had stayed the same, the same tacky wallpaper and big white tiled floor greeting her entrance. Blue lockers lined one wall with cool metal benches the players could sit on. 

She remembered how much she fought with the university to give the soccer team a proper locker room. 

"Child." Doyoung greeted coming out of the changing room. "So you have arrived."

"Where's Mark?" Yuta asked, looking around. Before Doyoung could answer, a familiar face walked into the room. Iseul smiled awkwardly and waved at him.

"Iseul! Welcome back!" Taeyong gasped, rushing over to her to pull her into a hug. "The team is so different without you!" 

"Seul!" Donghyuck dramatically cried, joining in on the hug. One by one, other members began to join the hug while Sicheng just watched a safe distance away, knowing she knew he was happy for her return.

"I don't know what's going on but since everyone is hugging each other I'll play along." Johnny shrugged, joining in on the hug. Iseul at this point couldn't breathe and looked over at Yuta for help. 

"If you guys forgot, we have training today. Let the manager breathe." Yuta reminded, walking towards his locker. He placed Iseul and his bag inside before pulling out his training clothes. 

"Ah that's right, we should introduce you to the new members too. They're from the high school department here." Taeyong gestured for the two new faces to come closer. "Come on, introduce yourselves."

"My name is Shotaro." The shorter one spoke softly. He extended his hand towards her at Taeyong's assurance. "I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to meet you."

"I hope it's good things. I don't exactly have the best reputation." Iseul chuckled, accepting his handshake. "And you are?"

"Jung Sungchan." He introduced, shaking her hand too. Sungchan's smile faltered momentarily. "I'm sorry, but have we met before?"

"That's the oldest pick-up line in the book, Sungchan. You can do better  if you want to flirt in front of her boyfriend."  Jungwoo jokingly scolded, walking into the room. The sound of Jungwoo's voice was enough to make her expression drop. 

"I wasn't flirting. I really feel like I've seen her somewhere before!" Sungchan pouted, crossing his arms. 

The two exchanged a couple more bickers while Iseul took the chance to shrink away and retreat to Doyoung. He was on his phone, playing some game when he noticed her. He looked at Jungwoo and back at her with a sigh.

"You brought this upon yourself, Seul. You can quit it now before you get trapped." Doyoung advised. The girl only shrugged, not wanting to say anything else.

"Don't just stop abruptly! You'll hurt yourself." Iseul shouted, forcing them all to continue walking after running. "Lee Donghyuck if you don't start walking I will add an extra 20 laps to your routine."

"20?!" Donghyuck gasped. He began walking with he others while Iseul prepared their refreshments. After one round of walking, the boys were permitted to sit down. "Bring back the old manager, she never pushed us this hard."

"I don't even think the old manager watched over our training like this." Taeil frowned.

"Training is where we're supposed to test and push our limits to an extent. I had Daeun send me videos of your practice matches and I notice how low your stamina is. I'll be including this stamina training for a while." Iseul explained.

"You take after your father after all, Iseul. Both of you make great soccer coaches." Jungwoo complimented. Iseul forced a smile and nodded in agreement. 

"We ran out of water."  Johnny frowned, closing the empty cooler. "Should I get some from the school shop?"

"Ah, allow me. You guys should make the best of your break." Iseul insisted, digging through her bag to find her wallet. She was off before anyone else could offer to help her. 

It was a relief to her that the school shop wasn't far from the field. She bought around three dozen bottled water, placing them in a box for easier lifting. 

"Are you sure you can lift that alone?" The lady asked, worried she might injure herself.

"She won't be lifting anything alone." Yuta said, walking past her and taking the box into his arms with a grunt. "Let's go, bambi." 

"I told you guys to maximize your break time." Iseul scolded, trying to take the box from him. The boy didn't listen, continuing to walk like he wasn't beside her. She blocked his way as a pout formed on her lips. "Yuta!"

Yuta leaned down, their faces a couple centimeters apart. He looked her dead in the eye with an unreadable gaze. "If you don't move I'll kiss you."

"You wouldn't-" 

He quickly cut her off with a peck on her lips, completely catching her off guard. Her hands went up to cover the lower half of  her face as she let out a gasp. Yuta couldn't help but snicker at how fast she distanced herself. 

"How dare?" She gasped.

"I mean, you're the one who went around kissing me first." Yuta shrugged, walking away.

I mean, he has a point?
