shoot your shot ꕀ kim sunwoo
genre: fluff / wc: 0.9k / no warnings
the cafeteria noise was drilling into your ears, making it impossible for you to concentrate on your studies. you were deciding to go to the library; a very familiar place for “nerds” like you. although you didn't like the nickname, the classmates who constantly called you that weren't wholly wrong. as you tried to open the doors, to your surprise it was locked. the librarian must have gone to the bathroom and you were getting impatient.
so for a change of scenery, you chose to go into the courtyard where all the opposite people from you hung out aka the sporty type.
you took out your notes at a small bench near the basketball courts, placing your stationery neatly to your side. this way, you’ll get more work done without any stress. as you calmly breathed in and out, you focused on the textbook in front of you. progress was shown through the many annotations you put in the paper. this is what you loved to do. understanding a subject gave you so much serotonin and energy. suddenly, you felt an object approaching your head and the peace was broken. as you fell over, your vision blurred as a figure hovered over your body, but their face was just a blob.
next thing you know, you found yourself in the nurse’s office with a boy sitting across from you completely dozed off. he had a basketball next to his feet. before he could wake up, you took a mental note of his fluffy black hair, the way his plain black clothes fit on him, and his gorgeous lips. not to mention he was way taller compared to you.
busy staring at his build, you didn’t feel his eyes on you. “hm?” you could hear him softly mumble.
“oh! you woke up.” he jolted up from his quick slumber, eyes wide open.
“uh yeah…what happened?” you questioned the boy.
“i accidentally hit you with my ball. i’m so sorry about that by the way.” he apologized sincerely. you could tell by his boba ball eyes.
“it’s fine. where’s my stuff? it’s really important.” you only cared about your items as they were precious notes you needed for the upcoming test this week.
“it’s in the main office. don’t worry,” he reassured you as he felt your body stiffen up.
“oh okay. thank you. anyway, nice to meet you. i gotta go now.” you slowly lifted yourself up and out of the bed.
as you were about to leave, he stood up quickly making you look back at him.
“i’m kim sunwoo by the way.” he scratched the back of his neck which made you chuckle. you could tell he was a grade below you from the way he acted towards you.
“oh cool. sunwoo. i’m y/n.” you gave him a quick smile before exiting the room.
whilst walking to the main office, that whole interaction with sunwoo wouldn’t leave your mind. you couldn’t think of any reasons why you weren’t upset with him. he ruined your study session but why weren’t you mad? is it because he was your exact ideal type? how come you never noticed him? what’s the point of thinking this hard if you guys would never meet again. you guys are from two different worlds. talking to a pretty boy like him just seemed like a one-time thing.
a week goes by and sunwoo was on your mind 24/7. he would appear everywhere. even in the halls, he’d find your eyes in the ocean of students passing by. it was driving you crazy. would your worlds ever cross paths? it never seemed possible whenever you’d see girls surround him. he felt so far from you.
you haven’t been to the courtyard this whole time since the library was finally open. it was peaceful and quiet again. although your life seemed boring to others, just the simple things made your day such as seeing the beautiful morning sunrise. who knew such things could impact you so much. when you walked into the library, almost every table was packed. the only seat left was near the window right next to the courtyard.
as you were highlighting a section of your textbook, a basketball was thrown onto your desk from the window. this person must have great aim. as you glimpsed at the ball, a white paper taped onto it caught your attention. it read ‘come to the basketball courts - sunwoo’ with a cute face doodle next to his name. you couldn’t help to laugh at his silly way to get you to talk to him. it still felt like a fever dream that he would want anything to do with you. was this a way for him to get a tutor? the possibilities in your head were endless.
when you reached the courts, you were met with sunwoo who had a playful smile plastered onto his face. this boy had trouble written all over him but you were curious about what he wanted to say.
“it’s been a while y/n.” he beamed, putting his hands in his pocket.
“i guess so sunwoo.” you cheekily responded.
“so.. i was wondering…if you’d like to get to know each other a little more…” he stepped towards you leaving a small space between you both. this sexual tension and eye contact made you swoon.
“a little straightforward isn’t it?” you joked, trying to remain calm but sunwoo easily made you flustered. with his troublesome flirty ways, he smoothly made his way into ruining your peaceful quiet life. you didn’t mind though.
“i’m just trying to shoot my shot,” he smirked while shrugging his shoulders.
