I forgot to add "could you please write", sorry! But anyway, "could you please write Seo Ha Joon, 20, with Kwon Soo Ah?" :)
(No problem! And I kept this because I wanted to write more of them >.>)
The weather changes and he finds himself in front of the class rankings with a chill that has nothing to with the blizzard rolling in. He hasn’t moved up and his stomach clenches. His mother doesn’t beat him but she has attempted to fill the void his father left so she can keep him on track.
He smells her perfume as she steps into the space next to him. He glances at the list for her name. She’s fourth, not second. The school is going to flip out. He looks down at her and is shocked that she’s smiling. It’s soft and almost relieved. She catches him staring and she juts her chin at the list.
“Yeon-Doo moved up. She’s going to be thrilled.”
She shrugs but her smile is a little tight. “I can still get into Harvard in fourth place. If the school doesn’t let us cheer next year, Yeon-Doo says I can join Real King if I want. I haven’t decided yet. We have the national exams coming up.”
His stomach turns just thinking about the national exams. When he didn’t say anything in reply, she starts to leave. He doesn’t really think as he almost turns into her and touches her hand. She still has a hair tie around her wrist and her skin is red. She looks up at him and just waits.
“Are you staying over the break?”
“Yes. Are you?” Her fingers slightly curl against the hidden marks on his wrist.
“Yeol and Yeon-Doo want me to go home with them but…” He can tells she’s gotten an invitation, too, and she’s not excited to go. He pulls his hand away and shoves it into his pocket. “They’re really noisy.”
She nods and presses her lips together. “Stay here then. It’s just a few days and the quiet is nice.”
He agrees and they walk away in opposite directions. He pauses partway down the hall and looks back at her when he hears Dong-Jae call her name. It’s a weird feeling that takes hold in his chest. It isn’t jealousy, he’s very acquainted with that, but there is something off about the way she looks at the awkward basketball player.
And he wonders why she doesn’t smile at him like that.
