Chapter 8
"I am so fucked up."
That's the first thing Soobin says as he wakes up and open his window. It's Saturday and he wants to stay inside his room for the whole day. He gets up and was about to go when he saw Yeonjun's red and black checkered school uniform's necktie on his desk.
"I'm so fucking fucked up," he cursed again and then went out to eat breakfast.
"Good morning son! I made pancakes, have some," his mom greeted him so he went to her and hugs her.
"Good morning mom. Should we go visit dad in Ansan?" Soobin asked and takes a sit.
"Your dad's not in there. He has some meeting to do," his mom replied. "And he's still mad about the bullying thing again, so don't see him yet," his mom added.
"Yes mom."
Soobin stay at his room the rest of the day playing games in his computer and having the best of his life. On the other hand Choi Beomgyu's with his outside school friends inside an infamous pub.
"I'll just go out for a smoke," one of his friend excused.
"Dude you're a minor," Beomgyu replied and laughs.
"Law doesn't apply to me," his friend laughs back. "I still have one in here, let's go," he invited Beomgyu and both of them went out.
"That's a cool chick, let me get her number," his friend said as soon as they went out.
Beomgyu just laughs while shaking his head and went to the back area of the pub and he's about to light the cigarette when he saw someone in leather jacket and all black clothes walking towards him so he dragged him.
"What the fuck—Beomgyu? What are you doing?" Taehyun asked and pushed him away.
"I saw someone following you around like a dumbfuck," Beomgyu replied. "Are you still mad at me?" Beomgyu asked, hands on waist, voice sweet.
"What the fuck do you want?" Taehyun asked him and pushed him a bit, feeling annoyed.
"Do you want to smoke?"
Taehyun didn't reply and move closer to Beomgyu whose back is resting against the wall. "I'm kind of frustrated right now, should we go somewhere quiet?" Taehyun suggested.
"As long as you're not going to say it's a mistake, I'm in," Beomgyu replied.
"Follow me."
It's Monday again and Soobin's already prepared to go when his mom called him again. "Son? Look at me first, can you?"
Soobin looks back in confusion. "Why mom?"
"That necktie, is that really yours? I don't think yours isn't that faded yet?" his mom noticed and was about to touch it to check but he hugs his mom.
"Of course it is mine! Bye mom! See you later!"
"O-oh, okay. Take care, son!"
Soobin arrived in their campus and with a heavy feeling. He needs to deal with Yeonjun now everyday and he's wondering where the fuck is the "fun" in what he said.
"How's your weekend, Beomgyu?" Soobin asked as soon as he takes a seat.
"Good? I think it is. How about yours?" Beomgyu replied casually.
"Good too? I've been playing games," Soobin replied and smiles.
The teacher went inside the room and does attendance. "Choi Yeonjun? Oh, where's your necktie?" she noticed because Yeonjun always has it.
"My dog's wearing it, Ms.," he just replied and glanced at Soobin.
Soobin looked down and plays with his sweaty fingers below his table because he's really wearing it right now as what Yeonjun wanted him to do.
"Why would your dog wear it, this kid," the teacher wondered.
"I don't really know, Ms. It looks cute on him," Yeonjun mindlessly replied and smirked.
"What? You really are crazy. Anyway, those who aren't wearing their uniform properly will get penalty, okay?"
The good thing about this owner-dog relationship about them is Yeonjun's not nagging Soobin during classes and just letting him but the very worst thing is when Yeonjun calls him if there are no classes.
"H-here's your drink," Soobin said and lends the drink he bought from the cafeteria. He's also panting a bit because they are in the rooftop. "There's no cola so I bought cider," he added.
"What? Where did you buy it? There's one at right wing, I saw one," Yeonjun replied.
"B-but it's too far?" Soobin reasoned out and pursed his lips and looks away.
"Give me that," Yeonjun said and grabs the canned drink. He started shaking it and open infront of Soobin's face so the other panicked and started looking away as the fluid keeps on splashing on him. "Buy me another one," he ordered again.
Soobin closes his eyes and wipe his face with his hands. "Y-yes," he replied and started walking.
"I'll give you three minutes, if you won't be here by then you're really going to eat the can," Yeonjun threatened him.
"Fuck," Soobin cursed under his breath and started running on the staircase towards the right wing of the building.
Yeonjun smirks as he saw the younger dashed off and leans both of his elbows on the rooftop's railing. He pulled something from his bag and opened it then gulps on.
"This is great," he muttered while looking below where he saw Soobin running and he chuckles. "Let see until when you will endure this, Puppy."
Minutes after Soobin who doesn't know any exercise and is not really fit, arrived at the rooftop with nothing on his hand. He's panting really hard and is about to collapsed but he maintains his stand.
"I-I'm sorry but the last one have been bought already," he paused to breathe out. "I'll just buy you one later outside the school," Soobin continued and properly looked at Yeonjun's back.
But he almost kicked him off the rooftop when he saw the cola he wanted beside him and that's when really collapsed on where he's standing. He's cursing him thousand times in the back of his mind.
"Oh you're here," Yeonjun turns around. "You're so fast at running, Puppy. You still have 30 seconds," he stated and smirked while showing Soobin his timer.
"Asshole," Soobin whispered.
"Did you just cursed—"
"No, I-I never... No, not at all," Soobin quickly denied and stands up. "Do you still want something?" Soobin asked instead.
Yeonjun picked up his bag and wears it on his left shoulder. "I have a practice at the gym later, be there and make sure to bring me bottled water. You get that?"
"Yes. Ah, what time is it?" Soobin asked.
"If you're late I'm going to mop you on the floor," Yeonjun threathens instead and went out of the rooftop.
Soobin throw tantrums and aggressively pulled his hair in frustration. "I really hate him!" he yelled and calm himself. "But this is better than before. I'll get use to this," he nods to agree with himself.
"I can do this. I've been into more than this," he stated and walks out.
But before he did that he throw the canned cola in the air and kicks to release his frustration then he smiles and walks away.
"I'll go with you in the lib, Hyun. I'm going to read this new manhwa," Hueningkai stated while following the nerd.
"Yeah whatever suits you," Taehyun replied while looking at his cellphone while walking.
"Oh look out—"
Taehyun bumped into something and when he looks up he saw his senior, Beomgyu, staring at him. Taehyun's glasses went down a bit so Beomgyu adjusted it on his nose and say nothing then just walks out.
"You didn't say sorry to him," Hueningkai whispered while Taehyun's eyes are still following the older.
"Right, I should do it some other time. I bet there'll be more mistakes of mine in the future," Taehyun replied and continued walking.
"You have what? More mistakes? The great Kang Taehyun has mistakes!? Where?"
"Shut up Kai or I'll tell Yeonjun about what kind of manhwa you are reading," Taehyun warned him.
"What do you want for drink Taehyun? Coffee, tea, or me?" Hueningkai joked and Taehyun just chuckles as they head to the library.
"Beomgyu, do you know what kind of sport Yeonjun's playing nowadays?" Soobin asked.
"Yeonjun? I think badminton," Beomgyu replied. "Ah right! School Fest is coming up so players are starting to practice. Why? Are you going to play too?" Beomgyu asked.
Soobin shook his head. "No, I just wanna know if around what time they are usually having practice?" he asked again.
"After class, like 4pm to 7pm. Why did you ask?" Beomgyu's now confuse why Soobin's asking such question to him and then he smiles. "Wait a damn minute, are you into Yeonjun now, huh?"
"What? Shut up, hell no," Soobin immediately denied and even rolled his eyes. "I just wanna watch some plays," he lied.
"Oh, I thought you're going to be one of his bitches," Beomgyu chuckles.
"Of course not!" Soobin reacted in disgust and Beomgyu just laughs at him.
"I was just joking! HAHAHA! Anyways, you should join some of the contest too. I'll probably join the singing contest," he stated and acted like he's strumming a guitar.
"Oh, so you're a singer. That's good, I don't know yet what I'll do. I'm not interested to any sports and arts stuffs," Soobin replied.
Their conversation was cut off when the teacher arrived and announces about the upcoming School Festival. Everyone is getting ready and excited because other schools will visit to watch the two-day event.
"To those who cannot join any contest then just be part of the committee and help our Student Council President, Kang Taehyun, and the whole council, okay? Make sure to cheer our players to and let's not get lose against our juniors!"
Soobin turn to Beomgyu whose face is also excited. "So other school will visit just to watch? And Taehyun's the school president!?"
"Yep! We'll have our interhigh too and that's when they'll play. The event is mostly more of like seniors vs. juniors. It's really fun!" Beomgyu exclaimed.
"To those who have concerns just go to the SSC's office, okay? Let's start our lesson now."
Soobin and Beomgyu parted their ways when the class ended. Soobin has still didn't mind the time and went to the SSC's office where he saw Taehyun busy typing something.
"Taehyun? May enter?" Soobin asked.
"Oh yeah sure, why?" Taehyun asked and pulled his eyes off the monitor. "I'm doing the guidelines for the School Fest so I'm a bit busy," he said.
"Oh, this'll be quick! I want to be part of the facilitator or committee for the event," Soobin said.
"Oh that? We're actually looking for students that can document the whole event. Can you take pictures using DSLR?" Taehyun asked.
"Yeah, I can," Soobin answered.
"Good! You'll be part of that team and then I'll just assign you if what kind of event you want to be, okay?" Taehyun settled.
"Yes. Thank you," Soobin agrees and went out of the SSC's office.
There are three gyms in his school; first is for basketball, seconds is for volleyball and the last one is for the badminton. Before he head on to the gym, he bought two bottled water first. When he arrived in there and he can hear the shuttlecock's sound getting hit by a racket. His eyes started wandering around to see Yeonjun and he spots him walking towards the bench.
Soobin dashed off and as soon as Yeonjun takes a seat Soobin lends him the cold water. "I'm not late," he stated and pursed his lips.
Yeonjun didn't say anything and just grabs the water from him and drinks it. Soobin observed the older's sweat on his face and how his adam's apple moves as he gulps. The white Nike bandana on his forehead is making him cool.
"Are you done memorizing my facial feature?"
"Yes— huh? N-no, why would I?" Soobin stammered and looks away.
"Tsk," Yeonjun hissed and he stands up again with his racket and went to court again.
The rally started with Yeonjun's opponent. Soobin's clapping with his fingers whenever Yeonjun's scoring a point. It feels like he owns the court because he's so fast and he's good at smashing too.
"Yeonjun! Take it easy! You're going to hit me again!" his opponent shouted while picking up the shuttlecock.
"I don't care," Yeonjun bluntly replied.
Their practice game continues until some of the players already went home. The two bottled water isn't enough for Yeonjun so he ordered Soobin to buy another one again. When Soobin comes back, Yeonjun isn't on the bench but he can hear the shower in the shower room so he went there.
Soobin saw the T-shirt that Yeonjun's wearing earlier so he already confirmed that he's inside. He's about to go back when he accidentally tripped on his feet that cause him to open one of the doors.
Soobin's eyes widen when he saw Yeonjun's pair of eyes looking at him but it's not just him. There's another pair of girl's eyes inside the shower. They are both naked. Yeonjun's holding on to the girl's waist while the girl is holding a support on the wall. Clearly, they are having a good time because Soobin saw how close the two's body.
"I'm sorry," Soobin almost whispered and runs away from the shower room.
He put the bottled water on the bench and went home without saying anything. He's already at his room but the scenario that he saw is still fresh. He can feel his cheeks are burning.
"What is this feeling... I should be disgusted," he whispered. "But seeing Yeonjun in that position—Argh! I'm going crazy! I hope he won't kill me tomorrow!"
