ౚৠwarnings: popular mean girl x loser athlete, swearing, yn plays soccer(football or wtv I donât care honestly) and aeri is super rich, drinking, angst, fluff
aeri liked to think of herself as a simple girl she liked attention, shopping, money, and her friends. sometimes her friends. and the only thing she truly despised was-
sports. an unfortunately male dominated activity in the professional world and in schools, but interestingly, not at this school. well, only for one sport.
the girlsâ soccer team was the most funded, medal winning team in the school. they were popular, big on social media, and the school's main money makers. they were also total machines.
"this is the team the school is known for?" aeri asked, filing her nails with a bored expression. "Iâm unfortunately not impressed. these editors sure know how to hype them up it has to be the sexy music in the background."
"they're literally stretching." jimin looked at her, squinting. "they haven't even done anything yet. plus, this is practice."
"exactly!" aeri replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "so why are we here? most classes are finished, we should be shopping or something."
"we're here to watch minjeong practice, duh," yizhuo said.
"exactly. we're here to support our friend," jimin added, looking at aeri, who scrunched up her face.
"minjeong is barely my friend," she said, shaking her head while analyzing her nails. "she doesnât fit our aesthetic. why would you guys adopt a soccer player? is this, like, a charity thing? are we getting filmed? if so, cut everything I just said and get my good side."
"look! theyâre taking out the ball now."
aeri didnât even glance up at yizhuoâs words, too engrossed in her phone. ugh, she couldnât believe they had dragged her out here just to sit on the bleachers and watch a bunch of brainless jocks kick a ball around.
time passed, and aeri tuned out most of what was happening, busy plotting her escape. maybe she could say her mom needed her for an emergency modeling gig. or that her dad had a last-minute business meeting and required her presence. two things that would never happen, but jimin would probably see right through her anyway.
she was so lost in her thoughts that she didnât hear the gasps and shouts around her.
until something hard slammed into her face.
her head snapped back, and her phone tumbled from her hands.
a soccer ball. she had just been hit in the face with a soccer ball.
aeri shrieked, clutching her forehead as laughters and are you okays erupted from the field.
jimin placed a hand on aeriâs shoulder, only for her to be brushed off. "are you okay? that looked like it hurt."
but aeri wasnât about to admit that. instead, she inhaled sharply, her voice dropping low. "who the hell did that?"
jimin pointed toward the field. right at her.
standing between yunjin and ryujin, nervously biting the nail of her thumb, was the culprit.
they locked eyes. one gaze wide and doe, the other sharp and burning with rage.
"hey, are we allowed to keep this since it hit aeri in the face?"
both girls turned to look at yizhuo, who was holding the soccer ball like it was some kind of prize.
aeri barely spared it a glance before snatching it out of yizhuoâs hands. then, without hesitation, she stormed onto the field.
"youâre fucked, y/l/n."
yn barely had time to process the situation before aeri was right in front of her, glaring up at her with fire in her eyes.
without a second thought, aeri hurled the soccer ball straight at her.
unfortunately, yn caught it. effortlessly. with both hands.
yn blinked, tilting her head slightly, a lopsided grin tugging at her lips.
"iâm so sorry. you see, I have this condition where I just kick the ball really hard. itâs called strong leg disorderâ"
"can you shut up? Iâm trying to save my own life here." yn shot a glare at ryujin before turning back to aeri. "thereâs no cure. I really wish there was. I would never intentionally mess up your pretty faceânot that you arenât still pretty now, after what just⊠uh⊠happened. but, you knowâŠ"
her voice trailed off as aeriâs glare darkened. yn winced, mentally kicking herself.
"do you think iâm an idiot?" aeri stepped closer, eyes locked onto yn, who instinctively leaned back only for her teammates to shove her forward, straight into the lionâs den.
"I really want to say no," yn admitted, hands raised slightly, "but Iâm scared itâs a trap."
then, as if she wasnât a whole athlete who could easily overpower aeri, she squeezed her eyes shut like she was bracing for impact.
"youâre lucky I donât call my dad and get you kicked off the team."
instead of looking scared, yn only furrowed her brows. "he can do that? i thought he owned a car company."
chaewon, the teamâs captain, stepped in, hands raised in a peacekeeping gesture. "letâs not get too hasty. sheâs one of our best players we canât lose her."
"that thing?" aeri pointed at yn, who mouthed thing? in offense, glancing at yunjin, who was barely holding in her laughter. "is one of your best players? she hit me in the face."
"and I totally get why youâd be mad," chaewon said, cutting off yn when she tried to interject. "sheâs an idiot."
"but," chaewon continued, "she will make it up to you. i promise. in fact, you can choose how."
"iâm trying to save you here. shut up."
aeriâs expression shifted, mischief glinting in her eyes. yn turned to her team with sheer horror in hers.
"i can choose?" aeri repeated, her voice dangerously sweet.
then, she turned back to yn, who swallowed.
"you," aeri said, watching as yn stiffened.
"youâll know by tomorrow."
and just like that, she spun on her heel, strutting off the field without another word. her friends scrambled to grab their things and follow because she was their ride, and she was not about to wait for them.
yn exhaled, rubbing a hand down her face.
"youâre so fucked." yunjin whistled.
"can you guys not state the obvious right now?"
it was nighttime, and aeri still hadnât figured out what she wanted yn to do. everything she thought of felt too clichĂ©. with a sigh, she opened the app she claimed to hate and typed in ynâs full name.
to be honest, she hadnât known who the girl was until today. sure, she knew of the soccer team who didnât? they were impossible to ignore in the dining hall, always causing some sort of disaster. and the edits, god, the edits. do you know how many times she had to click not interested?
but now that she thought about it⊠sheâd never seen any of yn. maybe she wasnât a fan favorite.
aeriâs eyes widened as she scrolled. video after video edit after edit all of yn. the captions were unhinged , the comments even worse. but before she could even process it, she found herself immersed.
while she was scrolling, a notification popped up yizhuo had sent her a live. aeri clicked on it, only to realize it was huh yunjinâs.
"I feel like if  I wasnât a soccer player, Iâd definitely be a basketball player." yunjin spoke as she ripped open a bag of chips, turning to ryujin beside her.
"I feel like you wouldnât even play sports if it wasnât for soccer," ryujin shot back. "and yn? sheâd definitely play hockey."
"yeah, after me, ynâs probably the second most likely to get into fights on the field."
aeri laughed. that loser? fighting?
the mention of ynâs name sent the chat into a frenzy.
user1: where did she go?? đ
user2:Â ugh bae needs to come back
user3: yn playing hockey⊠im shaking
user4:Â she needs to come back rn
yunjin and ryujin turned just as yn walked back into the frame, squinting one eye while adjusting her beanie.
aeriâs gaze flickered to the screen. yn had her hoodie slung around her neck, exposing her toned stomach and sports bra. the chat went absolutely feral.
aeri leaned back against her pillows, lips curling into a smirk.
just like that, a light bulb flickered in her head.
yizhuo struggled to keep up with aeriâs determined strides as they made their way toward the field, where the girls' soccer team sat catching their breath. sweat dripped down their faces as they sipped from their water bottles, still recovering from the first half of their practice.
âwait, why are we here again?â yizhuo asked, slightly out of breath.
aeriâs sharp eyes immediately landed on yn, who stood in front of  ryujin and yunjin, laughing at something she had just said. whatever it was, it clearly struck a nerve ryujinâs jaw dropped in offense before she squeezed her gatorade bottle, spraying water directly into ynâs face.
yn let out a dramatic yell, stumbling back as the rest of the team burst into laughter even chaewon.
but the moment aeri called out, âyn!â, the laughter died instantly.
yn wiped at her face with her sleeve, still grinning until she turned around and saw who was calling her. her smile vanished.
aeri wasted no time, marching right up to her and jabbing a finger against ynâs chest. âyouâre gonna be my personal girl toy." yn blinked. "huh?"
she glanced over her shoulder at her teammates, but before she could even process what was happening, aeri grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her back around.
"eyes over here." aeri tilted her head, voice smooth, almost teasing. "youâre gonna follow me everywhere i go and do whatever i say. got that?"
ynâs brain short circuited. "uh⊠is that even legal?" her face burned at the proximity. "I justâsorryâuhâ"
"is that excuses Iâm hearing?"Â aeri cut in, unimpressed.
"no? I was just asking a question-â
"then I have nothing else to say."Â aeri shrugged, turning on her heel like that was the end of the conversation.
just as yn opened her mouth to protest, a sharp whistle cut through the air.
"y/l/n! who the hell are you talking to?"
yn exhaled deeply, shoulders slumping. "sorry, coach!" she shot aeri a pleading look. "you need to leave, like, now. heâs already on my ass."
aeri studied her for a moment before smirking.
"meet me after your practice."
and with that, she spun around and walked off, yizhuo trailing behind her.
yn let out a breath, rolling her shoulders as she stepped out of the changing room, still toweling off her damp hair. her baggy sweatpants hung low on her hips, barely clinging on, and her oversized team hoodie was slung over her shoulders, revealing the tank top underneath. she adjusted her hoodie absentmindedly, already dreading whatever ridiculous task aeri had planned for her.
but she hadnât expected to see aeri leaning against the wall right outside the girls' changing room, arms crossed, looking like she had been waiting forever.
"you just stand outside girlsâ locker rooms now?" yn asked, rubbing the towel over her head.
"I was losing patience," aeri said simply, pushing off the wall. "you take longer than I thought. what were you doing, a whole spa treatment in there?"
"some of us actually shower after sweating for two hours," yn replied.Â
âso, what? IÂ Â just follow you around and get you stuff now?"
"yeah," aeri confirmed, like it was the most natural thing in the world. "you follow me, you do what I say, and you get me whatever I need. and in return, you get to be seen with me."
"people are always jealous of me," aeri continued, casually inspecting her nails like this was just another tuesday for her.Â
âbut I just recently found out how valuable you are. I mean, did you know people on the internet practically worship you?"
yn's eyes widened slightly. "whatâ"
"seriously, itâs insane." aeri shook her head, like she was still processing the horror of it all. "youâre, like, a phenomenon. and if I have you following me around like a puppy, itâll make people even more jealous of me."
yn stared at her. "...thatâs your whole plan?"
"thatâs the stupidest thing iâve ever heard."
aeri shrugged. "stupid, but effective."
yn exhaled through her nose, shaking her head. "you know what? alright. Iâll see you around."
"great!" aeri clapped her hands together. "be ready for tomorrow."
"Iâm taking you shopping."
the next day, yn found herself standing in the middle of an expensive boutique, arms full of shopping bags that werenât even hers.
"I feel like I should be getting paid for this," yn muttered, shifting the bags to one hand so she could pull her hoodie sleeves up.
"youâre getting something better," aeri said, examining a designer bag.
"wow," yn deadpanned. "so generous."
as yn adjusted the bags in her arms, she caught their reflection in a nearby mirror. she looked ridiculous, carrying all her stuff, while aeri strutted around like a runway model.
"you know," aeri mused, looking yn up and down, "you actually look really good like this."
yn raised a brow. "like what?"
yn nearly dropped the bags. "whatâ"
"I mean, look at you," aeri continued, a smirk playing on her lips. "following me around, holding my bags, waiting outside my class for me. itâs a good look on you."
"yeah, whatever," yn muttered, looking away, ears burning.
aeri wasnât sure when it started happening, but she was noticing yn way too much.
at practice, yn would be running drills, sweaty and focused, and aeri would catch herself staring.
when yn would wait outside her class, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, aeri would find herself smiling before she even realized it.
and when yn showed up at her house for the first time, dropping onto aeriâs bed and ranting about soccer practice, aeri found herself just⊠watching her.
yn was so expressive when she talked, hands moving, eyes lighting up when she got passionate about something. and god, she was attractive. even in her stupid soccer gear, hair messy, voice slightly raspy from yelling on the field.
"are you even listening?" yn asked, turning her head to look at aeri.
yn sighed, dramatically throwing an arm over her face. "I said, practice sucked."
aeri rolled her eyes but couldnât help the amused smile tugging at her lips.
"here." she reached into her bag and tossed something at yn.
yn caught it, frowning. "whatâs this?"
yn turned the small box over in her hands, raising a brow. "youâre giving me stuff now?"
"you work hard," aeri said simply, like it wasnât a big deal.
yn opened the box, eyes widening at the necklace inside.
"donât make a big deal out of it," aeri cut in quickly. "just take it."
yn hesitated. "I canât accept thisâ"
"well, youâre gonna have to," aeri said,Â
crossing her arms. "Iâm not taking no for an answer."
yn looked at her for a long moment before sighing and slipping the necklace on. "fine. but this doesnât mean you own me."
when the big game finally came, aeri dragged jimin and yizhuo to the front row.
she expected to be bored.
but then she saw yn in her element, completely locked in, eyes sharp,Â
  moving like she was built for this.
and then she saw the coach yelling at her.
"jesus, whatâs his problem?" aeri muttered.
"heâs just hard on her," jimin said, watching the game.
"yeah, well, he needs to chill."
yn, her awkward, dorky, occasionally charming personal servant, got into a fight.
aeri watched, wide eyed, as yn shoved an opposing player back, jaw tight, voice sharp as she exchanged heated words.
"oh my god," aeri breathed.
"sheâs hot, right?" yizhuo whispered.
"shut up," aeri snapped, crossing her arms.
yn got benched for a while, but when she was finally thrown back in, after having another yelling match with the coach she scored the winning goal.
before she knew it, aeri was heading straight for the locker room.
when she found yn, the girl was pulling a hoodie over her head, damp hair falling messily around her face.
"congrats," aeri said, leaning against the doorframe.
"thanks," yn replied, voice tired.
aeri frowned. "you donât sound too happy."
yn exhaled. "stuff with coach got intense."
aeri raised a brow. "why do you let him get in your head?"
yn rolled her eyes. "cause heâs my dad."
"âŠif it makes you feel better, at least you and your dad have the same interests. my dad probably wouldnât care if i ran off to join the circus."
yn huffed a laugh. "that⊠actually makes me more sad."
yn shook her head, but she was smiling.
"youâre going to the party, right?" aeri asked.
"yeah," yn said. "Iâll see you there."
and that was the beginning of the night that would change everything.
aeri knew she had a problem when she saw a cheerleader lean closer to yn, and her first reaction was to throw back another drink.
âokay, slow down.â yizhuo raised an eyebrow as aeri downed her fourth drink in the span of ten minutes.
aeri ignored her, eyes locked on the corner of the party where yn sat, looking stupidly awkward while the cheerleader giggled and played with her hair.Â
yn was slouched forward, hands clasped together like she was in a job interview, clearly uncomfortable.Â
but aeri didnât see that. no, she saw yn sitting with some girl, some random girl not even thinkingabout texting her to see if she was here.
âaeri?â yizhuo waved a hand in front of her face. âyouâre being weird. why are you-oh my god, are you jealous?â
âme? jealous?â aeri scoffed, setting down her empty cup. âplease, Iâm justââ
she lost her train of thought as she watched the cheerleader lean in even closer, whispering something into ynâs ear. that was it. that was her last straw.Â
she spun on her heel and made a beeline toward them, mean girl switch fully activated.
yn noticed her first. âaeri?â she blinked, eyes widening.
aeri crossed her arms. âso, you couldnât text me to see if I was here?â
yn furrowed her brows. âwhat?â
the cheerleader glanced between them, clearly sensing something was up. aeri ignored her and stepped closer to yn, lips curling into a smirk. âmoving on to cheerleaders now? cute. I still own you, by the way.â
ynâs entire face flashed with hurt. âare we still doing this?â her voice was quiet. âI thought we were done with that. I thought we wereââ she swallowed. âI thought we were connecting.â
aeriâs stomach twisted. she hated the way yn was looking at her right now, like she was disappointed.
so, naturally, she did what she did best, shoved that feeling way down and doubled down.
she let out a sharp laugh. âconnecting? why would i connect with a dumb jock who hit me in the face with a soccer ball?â
yn flinched. actually flinched. and suddenly, aeri hated herself.
but instead of fixing it, she grabbed another drink and walked away.
an hour later, she was completely shit-faced.
she was swaying, a half-empty cup in her hand, reaching for another when someone grabbed her wrist.
âI think youâve had enough.â
aeri groaned, rolling her head back to see who was bothering her now. yn. of course it was yn.
âleave me alone,â she slurred, trying to tug her arm free.
ânope, youâre done.â yn pried the cup from her fingers and set it down.
aeri whined, pushing at ynâs chest. âyouâre so annoying.â yn didnât budge. âyeah, yeah.â
aeri pouted and stumbled, and before she knew it, she was being lifted off the ground.
âwhat the hell?â she yelped, gripping onto ynâs shoulders as she was thrown over her back. âI forgot youâre an athlete.â
yn adjusted her easily, carrying her like she weighed nothing. âand youâre so lanky how the hell are you doing this.â
aeri kicked her feet uselessly. âput me down, loser.â
they passed by yunjin and ryujin, who both raised their eyebrows.
yn sighed. âIâm taking her home.â
yunjin snorted. âgood luck with that.â
in the car, aeri was a mess.
she was slumped in the passenger seat, mumbling nonsense, until she suddenly turned her head and stared at yn with glassy eyes.
âI hate that youâre so attractive,â she blurted out. âand dorky. and strong. and cute. and I just wanna kiss you in front of everyone.â
ynâs hands clenched around the steering wheel. âyouâre drunk, aeri.â
yn sighed. âjust go to sleep.â
when aeri woke up in jiminâs apartment, she immediately knew two things.
one, her head was killing her.
two, she was definitely not at home.
âwhat the hellâŠâ she groaned, sitting up and rubbing her temples.
aeri blinked blearily, turning toward the voice. jimin was sitting at her kitchen counter, sipping a cup of coffee, watching her with a smirk.
âwhy am I here?â aeri croaked.
jimin took another sip before answering. âyn dropped you off here last night.â
âyeah.â jimin set her cup down. âsaid you were too drunk to go home alone. figured Iâd take the babysitting shift.â
aeri groaned, flopping back onto the couch.Â
ânot before you tell me why you were getting wasted in the first place.â
aeri shut her eyes. âno reason.â
jimin snorted. âyeah, sure. youâre you the most calculated, high maintenance, self absorbed person I know. you donât do anything without a reason.â
aeri peeked one eye open. âwas that an insult or a compliment?â
âdepends. are you gonna tell me why you were drinking like a maniac last night?â
jimin crossed her arms. âif you donât spill, Iâm kicking you out.â
aeri sighed dramatically, sitting up again.
âfine. but you cannot laugh.â
jimin smirked. âoh, Iâm absolutely laughing.â
aeri ignored her and took a deep breath. âI saw  yn with some cheerleader.â
jimin raised an eyebrow. âokay⊠and?â
âand she was leaning in and yn was just sitting thereââ aeri huffed, crossing her arms. âI donât know, I just snapped.â
jimin tilted her head. âso, you got jealous?â
aeri opened her mouth, then closed it. âno.â
âfine.â aeri threw her hands up. âyes.I got jealous. ridiculously jealous. stupidly jealous.â
jimin grinned. âI knew it.â
aeri groaned, flopping back onto the couch again. âIâm such an idiot. yn probably hates me now.â
jimin leaned her elbows on the counter. âwhat exactly did you do?â
aeri stared at the ceiling. âI walked up to them, turned on my mean girl mode, and basically told her she still belongs to me, because of the thing and like completely destroyed all the development we had.â
jimin choked on her coffee. âyou what?â
âI know.â aeri covered her face. âit was bad. and thenââ she cringed. âyn said she thought we were connecting and I laughed in her face.â
jimin slapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide. âaeri.â
âIÂ know.â aeri groaned. âI panicked.â
jimin shook her head. âoh my god, you like her.â
âno, like, really like her.â jimin smirked. âyouâre obsessed.â
aeri groaned, dragging her hands down her face. âIÂ am.â
âthis is amazing.â jimin laughed.
âitâs not.â aeri pouted. âI donât know what to do. yn probably thinks Iâm an evil, heartlessââ
âdumbass?â jimin offered.
aeri glared. ânot what I was gonna say.â
jimin rolled her eyes. âokay, listen. I know for a fact yn doesnât hate you.â
aeri looked skeptical. âhow?â
jimin smirked. âbecause she dropped you off here. if she hated you, she wouldnât have made sure you were safe.â
aeri bit her lip. âbutââ
âno buts.â jimin pointed at her. âyouâre going to fix this.â
jimin grinned. âshe has morning practice. Iâll drive you.â
jimin rolled her eyes. âdo not make me throw you in the car.â
twenty minutes later, aeri was storming onto the field just like first them when yn hit her right in the face.
yn was standing near the goal, foot resting on a ball, when she looked up and saw aeri marching straight toward her.
before she could finish, aeri grabbed her face and kissed her.
yn froze, completely shocked, but after a second, she melted into it, her hands gripping aeriâs waist and pulling her closer.
when they finally pulled away, aeri was breathless. âplease donât hate me, Iâm sorry.â her voice was quiet now. âIâm, like, in love with you, and iI donât know what Iâll do if you donât say anything back to me, because I want you so badââ
yn let out a nervous chuckle. âI canât believe you just kissed me.â she smiled, cheeks flushed. âIâve been wanting to do that for days.â
aeri grinned, pressing another kiss to her lips
a sharp whistle cut through the air. they turned to see the entire team watching. and standing at the front, arms crossed, was coach.
ânow thatâs a way to meet the parents, yn get your little girlfriend off the field.â
the team howled with laughter. yn groaned, face turning a shade of red aeri had never seen before.
aeri whispered, âIâll see you later,â before spinning on her heel and jogging back to jimin.
as soon as she reached her, they both squealed, gripping each otherâs arms.
meanwhile, yn stood there, frozen, as her teammates slapped her back and teased the hell out of her.
