IN WHICH â¶ Y/n and Gunwook have a secret thing for each other. Except the two are extremely embarrassed to be seen with one another. Gunwook being the soccer star player, class president, student council vice president, and having awesome grades it was almost impossible for her to not see him as a competitor. They didnât wanna ruin their reputations, how stubborn could they be?

ej note đž Í àŁâž° ahhh finally i am posting this! iâve been working on this for about over three months going back and fourth to it. reblogs, likes and feedback are appreciated, I hope you guys enjoy this!
Everything Park Gunwook could do Jeon Y/n could do better.
Thatâs what Jeon Y/n thought at least.
The two were equally as smart and equally as devoted to school, but the two were just too damn competitive and one of them had to be a winner.
Y/n was a recommended tutor for all struggling students, she had perfect attendance, won many school awards, and is studying many languages.
Park Gunwook is the class president, vice principal for the student council, soccer star player, also won many awards, and has outstanding grades.
But what bothered Y/n the most was the fact that he was ranked top of the class and she was right behind him.
She despised him and he despised her.
Gunwook liked the competition and the rush feeling he got whenever he and Y/n were pitted against each other. Whether it was in class, love confessions, being favorited, or literally anything else.
He just enjoyed winning over her and the look on her face every time she lost.
âSoccer is probably the most attractive sport.â Huening Bahiyyih said as she and Y/n were sitting on the field bleachers, watching the soccer game go on. âHiyyih-ah, what has gotten into you. Clearly badminton is the most attractive sport.â Y/n scoffed.
âYouâre only saying that because Park Gunwook plays soccer. As much as you hate him you canât deny how cute he is.â Hiyyih tried to argue.
âPark Gunwook is my enemy.â
Y/n said, Hiyyih shrugging her shoulders and turning her attention back to the game. Park Gunwook walking off of the field to get a sip of water.
Y/n was watching him with an expression of hatred on her face. Gunwook saw her and waved, being awfully polite just to piss her off.
âUgh, I despise him.â Y/n looked away and tried to find another player to pay attention to.
â
âY/n,â Mr. Shin called out before she was able to leave class like her pears. âI need to talk to you. Donât worry, nothing bad.â Y/n sheepishly smiled as she walked up to his desk.
âI need you to tutor another student, Kim Danbi from class 1-3. Youâll meet up tomorrow after school in the library.â
âTomorrow?â Y/n hesitated to ask. âCanât I do it this weekend or something?â
âY/n, we already scheduled it for tomorrow. Itâs the only time she is free and she really needs your help so itâs settled.â
âAh, okay. If she really needs it then.â Y/n laughed nervously. âHave a good day.â She bowed before leaving.
Shocked to see Park Gunwook waiting outside by the door. âWhat.â She said as he stared at her for a little. âNothing.â He said before walking into the class she had just left.
Y/n couldnât do a tutoring session tomorrow. She hated how her teachers would just schedule sessions for her without even asking if she was free or not. But she loved how good itâll look in her record.
Everyone knew Jeon Y/nâs life was boring, they had just assumed she was always free.
âHiyyih,â Y/n approached the girl in the lunch line. âCan you do me a favor tomorrow?â She asked as food was put on her tray. âIs it difficult?â Hiyyih asked as the two walked down the room of the cafeteria to go to the table the two always sat at.
âNo, I just need you to pick Hayun and watch her tomorrow. Mr. Shin scheduled a session for me again. I asked if we could reschedule but we couldn't.â
âSure, I love hanging with Hayun.â Hiyyih agreed. âHe seriously needs to stop scheduling sessions for you without letting you know.â
âI know, but I feel so bad if I donât tutor them. And theyâll look so good on my record. I need to get a scholarship before Gunwook does.â
âWhatâs up with you and Gunwooks rivalry, itâs so silly.â Hiyyih laughed at the ridiculous words coming out of Y/nâs mouth.
âIt shouldnât matter who gets a scholarship first or who tops the class.â
âIt matters to me.â Y/n slightly glared at her best friend. âWeâve been in a rivalry since middle school ever since he decided to steal Kim Dayeon from me.â
âYah, this is all because you and Gunwook both liked Kim Dayeon at the same time?â Hiyyih chuckled at the thought. âHe would laugh in my face whenever Dayeon would choose to do something with him.â Y/n sulked.
âItâs my middle school trauma and my revenge is being better at anything he does.â
âLast time I checked youâre absolutely shit at soccer.â
âOkay so I can learn, soccer canât be that hard?â She shrugged her shoulders. âI can sign up for that school fundraiser game and beat him in a couple matches.â
âWell thatâs surely a goal.â Hiyyih mumbled. âI have months to practice, the fundraiser isnât till may.â Y/n said.
âHi, sunbaenim.â A junior of the girls bowed and put down a carton of milk on Y/nâs plate. âThank you for agreeing to tutor me today! Iâm so sorry I couldnât get you a second milk carton.â She turned to Hiyyih and apologetically shook her head.
âItâs okay, I donât mind.â Hiyyih smiled at the girl. âItâs no problem, itâs what I do.â Y/n responded to her Junior.
âThank you again!â Kim Danbi said before making her leave.
âWhy do our juniors seem scared of you?â Hiyyih asked. âWhat do you mean?â Y/n slightly tilted her head in confusion. âI mean, it was hard to not notice the tension.â
âHow?â Y/n didnât notice any tension between the two.
âShe was looking down the whole time and I saw her hesitating on coming up to us earlier in the corner of my eye.â
âIâm not sure, sheâs probably just shy.â
â
Y/n was waiting in the library for Kim Danbi. She hoped this session went by quickly so she could go home and to take care of her little sister.
âHi, Sunbaenim.â Kim Danbi sat down in the seat across from Y/n. âHi.â Y/n smiled and started to pull out books from her bag.
âWhat topic do you need help with?â Y/n, Danbi pulling her pencil case out. âJust english.â
âGood, Itâs one of my best subjects. Hopefully I can teach you quickly, if we need a few more sessions thatâll be fine. Itâll just cost 20 each session.â
âAlright.â Danbi smiled, ready for the session to start.
âOkay, what do you mainly need help on?â
âI have a book assignment due this week. I read the book but Iâm having trouble writing an essay for it. I heard you were really good at writing essays and you were recommended by a lot of teachers so I wanted to ask for your input and to help me improve.â
âAlright, it shouldn't be too hard. What book were you assigned?â
âAll the bright places.â Danbi pulled the book out and Y/nâs eyes shined a little. âI love that book.â Y/n smiled.
âI remember doing that assignment last year, do you have the same essay assignment or a different one?â
â
âGunwook-ah, do you have to take so long?â Gyuvin complained as Gunwook was picking out a couple books he needed for an assignment.
âIf you wanna go to practice soon you can.â Gunwook hummed. âIâm not forcing you to stay.â
âAre you sure? I donât want to leave you here alone.â
âIâll be fine.â Gunwook chuckled. âAlright, Iâll see you.â Gyuvin patted his back before leaving the library.
âThis is decent, you just need to focus on the emotion. Right now itâs like youâre half-assing it. I donât mean that in a rude way, I mean it in a way where when somebody else reads this theyâll feel like you didnât get your point across. Put more detail into it.â
Y/n and Danbi could be seen from the gap of books on the bookshelf. Gunwook listened for a little while. Y/n was good at english and knew how to express emotions with words, heâll give that to her.
âHey, actually. Captain is mad right now, so I donât want to get yelled at.â Gyuvin pops up from behind, startling Gunwook. âYou scared me.â Gunwookâs hand rested on his heart from shock.
âWhat are you looking at?â Gyuvin peeked into the book gap. âOh, Y/n? Thatâs a little creepy.â
âIt was for a second, Iâm not a creep.â
âOh yeah? Remember the times she was tutoring and you wouldââ Gyuvin was trying to rest his hand on the bookshelf but misplaced his hand, knocking down books making themselves seen.
âYou make it seem like I did something bad, I just left her juice cartons in her basket without her knowing.â Gunwook whispered and frantically fixed the books.
âI need to check these books out, wait outside for me.â Gunwook gently shoved Gyuvin in the direction of the exit.
âFine.â Gyuvin put his hands up in defense, almost tripping over a book. âAnd please stop making noise.â Gunwook sighed.
â
âUnnie! Did you know Hiyyih-Unnie likes mint choco, sheâs just like you! You guys have terrible taste.â Hayun spoke as soon as Y/n walked into the house. âYah, mint choco is amazing.â Y/n scoffed as she hung her bag up.
âDid you eat already?â Y/n asked as she opened a snack cabinet. âYeah, Hiyyih-Unnie made me a snack.â Hayun and Hiyyih were sitting on top of the island.
âPromise me it was a real snack and not just ice cream.â She glared. âYes it was.â Hayun groaned.
âOkay, I trust you. Did you call mom and dad today?â
Y/nâs parents were on business trips all the time. They worked as Retail buyers and were always traveling for two weeks twice a month.
âYes, they asked where you were and I told them you had a tutoring session. They want you to take a break from tutoring. They think you need time to yourself.â
âBelieve me, I think so too.â Y/n groaned.
â
Kim Dayeon and Jeon Y/n used to be close friends. Nothing bad happened for the two to stop being close friends, they just drifted apart. Y/n likes to blame Park Gunwook for it because he was like a knife that split a piece of bread in the middle of their friendship.
He had gained an interest in Kim Dayeon and Y/n didnât like that, no one would. Especially since Y/nâs only friend was Dayeon at the time and she had a secret thing for her, who wouldnât?
Everyone thought Kim Dayeon was cool, she played basketball in her free time, her parents ran a popular sushi restaurant, and she was class president for a year.
She was funny and nice to everyone. There was just nothing you could dislike Kim Dayeon for.
Park Gunwook made it his goal to get close to Kim Dayeon and to do that he had to hangout with her any chance he got and that was hard since Y/n was with her all the time.
He swears he didnât mean to make them completely drift apartâonly for a little. He found Y/n funny when she would get mad so he would tease her about Dayeon wanting to hang out with Gunwook and not her behind Dayeons back.
Park Gunwook honestly doesnât dislike Y/n as much as people make it out to be. He thinks they would actually be good friends if they tried, but the two were just equally as competitive. Y/n still had a grudge on him and Gunwookâs life got more interesting once their little rivalry started.
Actually, once he did become closer to Kim Dayeon he realized his interest in her were just pure lies. He actually didnât like the girl that much, he just thought she was cool and thought he had a crush on her.
But once Y/n was out of the picture it was odd. Y/n wasnât there to complain, sulk and pull that pouty face to Kim Dayeon that he would see every friday when they argued on who should hang out with Dayeon.
Jeon Y/n completely stopped talking to Kim Dayeon. Yes, it is partially her fault that she and Kim Dayeon donât talk since she had dropped her out of nowhere but she still blames Park Gunwook since he was the reason Kim Dayeon rarely had time for her.
If he was being completely honest he had a tiny tiny interest in Jeon Y/n. But it would be embarrassing for him to admit to anyone, especially since the two have a known rivalry and âhatredâ for each other.
âI wonder how Y/n handles all those tutoring sessions, she has at least three a week.â Dayeon wondered.
Her and Gunwook were hanging out outside by the soccer field.
âI donât know. She probably has some super ability to teach struggling kids who donât give a damn about their grades.â Gunwook was kicking around a soccer ball as Dayeon watched.
âAre you gonna sign up for the soccer game fundraiser this year? You should do it.â Gunwook suggested. Dayeon has always said sheâd sign up for them but she always ends up not.
âYou just want to beat me in a game of soccer.â Dayeon chuckled. âWhich is unfair, considering the fact that you are literally our school's star player.â Dayeon rolled her eyes.
âI heard Y/nâs signing up.â Dayeon heard this from a random girl in the bathroom. Everyone was intrigued by her and Gunwookâs rivalry.
âY/nâs trying so you should try.â
âAs if, thatâll be so awkward.â Dayeon sighed. âWe havenât talked in like five years. I wonder if sheâs different from back then.â
âFive years is a lot. She probably has changed. I donât know, I really only talk to her when I wanna tease her about my test score or piss her off.â
âYouâre an ass. As if you didnât torture her enough in middle school.â
âI am not.â Gunwook gasped. âHer reactions are just so funny. When her eyebrows come closer to each other, her eyes shine with hatred and her pouty face sheâs had since middle school.â
âThatâs a very detailed description for someone who supposedly hates her.â Dayeon had a slight expression of concern on her face, she was shocked at how detailed Gunwook got.
âItâs just very memorable.â
âSure.â Dayeon just agreed. She knew Park Gunwook could never have pure hatred for anyone.
When she found out about Gunwookâs intentions she was not surprised to say the least. It was obvious. She missed Y/n a lot but she knew itâd be hard to rebuild that friendship. One thing about Y/n is that she knows her worth and knows whatâs bad and whatâs good for her.
The feeling of jealousy she got with Dayeon and Gunwook was bad. So she stopped talking to Dayeon.
Dayeon stayed close with Gunwook and eventually learned a lot of stuff about him. About how heâs such a big baby despite his intimidating appearance.
â
âDid you hear about that new guy today? I heard heâs cute.â Zhang Hao asked as soon as he sat down in his seat next to Y/n. âItâs only 7 in the morning, how could I have heard of him?â Y/n yawned. âDid you not get sleep?â Hao asked. âYou know thatâs bad for you, I donât care about what you were studying for. Sleep and your health is more important!â
âI was not studying.â Y/n pouted. âI was making tutoring notes actually.â
âEven worse.â Zhang Hao was about to speak again but the teacher walked in with a student beside her. The new guy.
âQuiet please. We have a new student.â Ms. Nam said as she pointed to the boy next to her. âIntroduce yourself please!â Ms. Nam said joyfully.
âHi, Iâm Ricky Shen and I just recently moved from China.â
âYou can sit right behind Y/n and Hao! Please raise your hands!â Ms. Nam said pointing to their direction as the two raised their hands.
âHi.â Ricky said to the two as he sat right behind Y/n. âWhat region are you from?â Hao turned around in his seat and asked. âShanghai.â
âCool, Iâm from Fujian!â Hao smiled. âIf you need any help or a "guide ", come to us. Or maybe just me, Y/n is always busy.â
âOh, are you like the class president? Thatâs a busy role.â Ricky asked. âIâm not.â Y/n turned to face him. âPark Gunwook is the class president.â Y/n scanned the room to find him staring at her. âThe one staring at us.â Y/n pointed out.
âOh, I see. Why are you so busy then? If you donât mind me asking.â
âI just study a lot.â Y/n laughed nervously. âSheâs downplaying herself, Y/nâs ranked number two in this class and she has this really good reputation with teachers so they send all the struggling kids to her so she can tutor them. Now she spends three days a week tutoring and stays up late at night making notes for them.â Hao just spoke like he told a whole life story.
âItâs kinda messed up in a way.â He shrugged his shoulders. âYou couldâve just said I tutor kids. I think you broke Ricky.â
Ricky was confused and lost. Not actually, it just seemed like he was. It was just a lot of information to process.
âWhy donât you say something about not wanting to tutor them? Or that youâre already busy?â
âOh she does, but she has this rivalry with the class president and she wants to get a college scholarship before him and tutoring looks good on her record so she suffers the pain and sucks it up.â
âAt this point you're telling my life story to him.â
âAt least heâll be filled in and not confused. You and Gunwookâs rivalry is kind of the best part of this school. Itâs so funny when you guys fight.â Hao teased.
âYou guys are crazy.â Ricky laughed, but it wasnât a loud chaotic laugh like most people. It was a quiet one. Y/n liked that. Ricky seemed like a quiet observer.
âIf you think weâre crazy just wait till you meet the soccer team.â Hao hummed. âAre they bad?â Ricky asked. âNo, theyâre just kinda chaoticâmore crazy off the field, yâknow? The other day Kim Gyuvin literally knocked books off of the shelves by accident because he misplaced his hand. I donât know how heâs one of their best players when he's usually so clumsy.â
âAnd the other day they almost caused a ruckus at the vending machines because it was jammed and Han Yujin was so determined to get his snack he held the line up.â
âAnd one time Kim Jiwoong flirted his way to get free snacks from the snack bar.â
âThat sounds like something Iâd do.â Ricky laughed. âThey usually only do it to Kim Jiwoong. If it happens to anyone else theyâre either really lucky or just extremely attractive.â Y/n explained.
âI think theyâll let you get free snacks. Youâre handsome enough.â Y/n looked at Ricky. She found him attractive. He seems sweet as well so thatâs a plus. âHook us up if it works.â She joked.
â
Park Gunwook was upset. Like angry, upset. He wished he had lost all his hearing in his left ear cause all he could hear all class was Y/n laughing with Zhang Hao and Ricky.
He didnât think Ricky was that funny, so why was Y/n laughing so hard.
âWhy are you so upset? You donât even like Y/n.â Dayeon asked. She was testing the waters, she wanted to know Gunwookâs response knowing in reality he does like the girl.
âBecauseâthey were being distracting. She was laughing so much, they all were! What couldâve been so funny.â He made an excuse.
âI heard Rickyâs getting popular. Iâve heard he also plays basketball, maybe Iâll see him in the courtyard later. Iâll tell you if heâs funny.â Dayeon
âThatâs not helpful. You laugh at anything, and since Ricky is mega attractive youâll just laugh and giggle at everything.â Gunwook sighed. âOh,â Dayeon laughed, âAre you just jealous that Ricky seems to be so funny and attractive that all the attention will be taken away from you.â Dayeon spoke.
More like the attention of Y/n would be taken from him although he never had itâŠ
But he was also upset at the way she ignored him and didnât even brag or flaunt her test score which was the best one in that class. The first thing she did was put it in her bag and walk away with Ricky.
âWhy would I be upset that the attention isnât on me?â
âMaybe because youâve had the attention of others your whole life and this one time it isnât so youâre upset. I donât blame you, if I had gotten all the attention growing up and then suddenly someone took that away from me Iâd be upset too.â
âOkay, way to take a dig at my heart.â Gunwook glared at Dayeon. âIâm okay with attention not being on me for a couple days.â
âBullshit, it's a couple of hours not days.â Dayeon argued. âBesides, I heard Rickyâs nice, youâll probably turn out to really like him.â
âWeâll see.â
â
âHi,â Gunwook approached the lunch table Ricky was sitting at. Y/n, Hiyyih, and Hao were also sitting at the table. âIâm Park Gunwook, the class president. I didnât get to introduce myself earlier.â Gunwook smiled as he held his hand out for a handshake.
âItâs okay, Iâm Ricky.â Ricky smiled back and shook his hand. âDo you like it here? I hope Y/n hasnât grown an attachment yet and sulks when someone else hangs out with you.â Gunwook jokes.
Ricky was confused.
âWhatâs your problem?â Y/n scoffed. âIâm just joking,â Gunwook said as he turned to Y/n. âForget what I said.â He turned his head back to Ricky.
âI like it here, everyoneâs welcoming.â
âThatâs good. If you need anything Iâm always here.â Gunwook said before walking back to his usual lunch table where his soccer team and more of his friends sat.
âWhat was that?â Dayeon asked. âJust introducing myself to Ricky.â Gunwook said. âY/n looked mad. What did you say?â Taerae asked. âItâs nothing. I was just teasing her.â
âGive the girl a break.â Gyuvin suggested. âShe already has so much on her plate with tutoring and her little sister, she does not need you teasing her.â He scolded Gunwook.
âWe all know why Gunwookâs teasing her, he just wants her attention.â Dayeon spoke out. âOh my god, are we still on this topic? I thought we were just joking?â Yujin gasped, the group had always joked about Gunwook and Y/n if they had been together.
âItâs still just a jokeâitâs nothing.â Gunwook shushed at Dayeon. âIgnore what she said.â
âWhat are you guys doing after school?â Gunwook asked, trying to divert everyoneâs attention to his question. âWell, we have practice and then after that I have my tutoring session.â Yujin answered.
âIâm free after practice.â Gyuvin said, and a couple of âMe tooâs followed by.
âDayeon?â Gunwook looked at the girl, in a questioning tone. âIâm free, what are we gonna do?â
âLetâs get something to eat.â Gunwook suggested. âWhere to?âGyuvin asked. âThe usual convenience store, duh.â Gunwook scoffed. âBoring. Get money, stop being broke.â Taerae groaned.
âUnless you want to pay for all of us at a nice restaurant then shhh.â Gunwook nodded his head. âYup. I can barely afford money for the vending machine.â Yujin agreed.
âYujin, babes you canât afford anything. You use your cuteness to get everything.â Dayeon called him out. âAnd Iâm proud of it!â Yujin huffed.
â
âHow was practice?â Dayeon asked as the group all walked into the convenience store they went to daily. âHi, Yejun!â Dayeon said as the others waved to the cashier. âItâs like you guys live here, coming here everyday.â Yejun laughed to himself.
Yejun was a student that attended the same school as them, they didnât have any classes with him but always saw him working at the store.
âItâs in our budget and just so good.â Gunwook placed his items on the counter and waited for the others to come to the front. âHow are you?â Gunwook asked. âGood as always, itâs been a slow day.â Yejun sighed, âDid you guys just come back from practice?â He asked.
âYeah,â Gunwook sighed. âCoach is getting tougher on us, I just hope we win our next game.â
âHi.â Taerae dragged out as the rest of them placed their items on the counter. âWow you guys are hungry.â Yejun said as he saw the amount of food on the counter.
âCoach is driving us crazy.â Yujin pouted. âHe held us an hour later.â Yujin sulked. âWell, I canât do much but wish you guys luck on your next game.â Yejun said.
âOhâby the way, Y/n is here. Please donât cause a ruckus, I donât want to disturb the couple over there.â
âGot it.â Gunwook said as he grabbed his bag of his food. The group of friends went towards the seats they usually sat at. There was a couple sitting down a couple seats away from them as Yejun said, and then there was Y/n who was sitting down across from Gunwookâs eyesight. Her head propped up in the palm of her hand. There were books and papers scattered on the table, she was just staring down at the papers.
Y/n looked tired and drained. Gunwook grabbed a Choco Pie and walked over to her table. âHi, you look tired.â Gunwook said as he dropped the snack on the table. Y/n slowly picked her head up. âItâs because I am.â Y/n rolled her eyes. âWhat is this?â Y/n asked, picking the snack up.
âA Choco Pie, duh.â Gunwook rolled his eyes. âI know what a Choco Pieâwhy are you giving me this?â
âYou look like you need it.â Gunwook admitted. âThanksâŠpeople have just been coming to get tutored consistently.â Y/n sighed. âItâs so tiring, like I have a life too.â
âJeon Y/n having a life, something Iâd never imagine.â Gunwook chuckled, Y/n looked up and stared at him. Gunwook could see that she hasnât been in the joking mood due to the lack of comebacks towards him. âUhâjust ask to cancel them or ask for just one student.â Gunwook coughed, clearing his throat.
âYou donât think Iâve tried? Mr. Shin especially keeps sending his students to me for tutoring sessions. Itâs so stupid and tiring, at this point Iâd rather start selling my notes.â Y/n rambled on and on.
âI could help you.â
âReally?â Y/nâs body jolted up, she was now sitting with a good posture.
âNo, I just wanted to tease you.â Gunwook grinned. âIâm also very busy.â
Y/n groaned and quickly shoved all her papers and books into her bag. While she was storming out books and pages fell out but she embarrassingly ran back in with pink rosy cheeks as she picked up her stuff.
â
Y/n was seen sleeping and slacking off in class recently. She had tutor sessions on top of tutor sessions every hour of the week. She could never catch a break.
The bell rang. âHave a good lunch.â Mr. Shin said. Y/n got up a little later than everyone else, shoving her books into her bag. âY/n, I need to speak with you.â Mr. Shin spoke out, making her stop in her tracks.
Y/n closed her eyes and prayed she wouldnât get into much trouble. âYes?â She slowly turned around. âWhatâs wrong? Youâre slacking, you barely passed this test.â Mr. Shin placed her graded test on his table.
âNothings wrongâŠ,â Y/n tried to find the right words. âDonât lie to me, Y/n.â Mr. Shin asked firmly. âItâs nothing reallyâIâm just tired. Iâve been doing a lot.â
âYou need to learn how to manage your schedule. Make some time for sleep and studies. No time for fun.â He scolded her. âIâd have time if I didnât have so many tutoring sessions.â Y/n muttered under her breath. She was honestly hoping heâd hear her.
âJeon Y/n-ah. Are you talking back? Say what you said out loud.â
âI said, Iâd have time if I didnât have so many tutoring sessions.â Y/n spoke proudly. âY/n-ah, you tutor because itâll look good on your applications. You asked me to send students that needed help to you. If you keep this upâ.â He picked up her low test score and waved it around, âYouâll never get accepted.â
âGet yourself together, youâre a great and smart student. Donât waste it.â
Y/n would be lying if she said she was fearless, because sheâs not. The cold and confident persona she put out was mostly just an act.
Jeon Y/n was confident and did have a cold personality. She was confident in her ability to stay on top of the school's ranks and almost always had a cold and moody expression on her face.
But she wasnât just all that. She had fears like everyone else. She feared not being accepted into a good school, she feared failing, she feared disappointing others, most of all she feared not being on top. She wanted to be the best, second place was not enough. Which was the reason her stupid rivalry with Park Gunwook lasted this long.
Park Gunwook didnât mean to listen to their conversation, he had left his notebook in the room and needed to get it. Y/n and Mr. Shin just so happened to still be in there. He couldâve left but he was way too intrigued once he heard Shin yell at Y/n.
âWhat the hell!â Y/n jumped as she was met with Park Gunwooks face. âWhy are you always here to witness bad moments?â Y/n groaned and stormed off.
âY/nâwait.â Gunwook grabbed the fabric of her sweater, making her lose her balance a little. âLet me help you tutor.â He said with no hesitation. âFunny. Iâm not falling for it again.â
âNo seriously, let me help.â
âI donât want your pity.â Y/n walked off before Gunwook could say another word.
Gunwook sighed.
â
âHi, Y/n-sunbaenim.â Y/nâs junior bowed. âHi. Are you ready for today?â Y/n asked. âYes, I am! I think Iâm starting to understand it better!â
âThatâs good.â Y/n said, her attention turning to something else. One of the juniors she tutors just walked into the library. âHyunki, what are you doing here? Our session is tomorrow.â Y/n told the girl as she sat down a seat away from her.
âOh, Mr. Shin assigned me a new tutor!â
âOh, is something wrong with my tutoring? Do you know who it is?â Y/n asked, she wondered why Shin suddenly decided to switch Hyunkiâs tutor.
âThereâs nothing wrong, I honestly donât know why he switched my tutors. And no, Iâm not sure who I got switched to.â Hyunki nodded her head. âI just hope he's good!â
âHe?â There were currently no males who tutored at the school, it was all females who volunteered until now. âYeah, itâs a guy.â Hyunki confirmed. âOh, Okay. Then he mustâve just signed up to be a tutor.â
âHi!â Park Gunwook said enthusiastically as he approached the table. âS-sunbaenim.â Hyunki stood up so fast she almost got whiplash. She bowed to him, bowing pretty low to hide her rosy cheeks. Most juniors admired Park Gunwook and thought he was handsome. Hyunki was one of those juniors.
âWhat are you doing here?â Y/n asked, her eyebrow slightly raised. âIâm tutoring Hyunki!â Y/nâs jaw almost dropped.
âYouâre tutoring now? Canât you just let me have my own thing.â Y/n groaned. âNo.â Gunwook chuckled and had a teasing smile on his face.
Gunwook was helping Y/n without Y/n knowing he was helping her. She had just thought it was another attempt at trying to one up her.
â
âHao, you wonât believe it.â Y/n said as soon as Hao picked the phone up. âOh my god, really?!â Hao sarcastically gasped. âWhat happened?â He asked seriously now. âGunwook started tutoring today. Heâs literally coming for my neck. Especially since he saw my argument with Shin about it.â
âFirst he steals Dayeon, my top spot, and now my whole life!â Y/n said dramatically. âYour whole life?â Hao questioned. âTutoring takes up all my time, it might as well be my life!â
âYouâre overreacting. Itâs not like heâll steal your scholarship.â
âWhy would you say that?â Y/n scoffed. âIâm being serious. Gunwook might be an ass to you but he wouldnât purposely steal your scholarship.â
âGunwookâs not that bad. He just teases a lot, especially you. He was definitely worse in middle school.â Hao huffed. âBut heâs better now. Remember that short period of time where random juice boxes would show up in your bike basket after you tutored?â
âYeah, what about it?â Y/n was wondering where Haoâs statement was going. âIt was Gunwook doing it. I caught him one day. And then remember when it stopped? He probably got scared of getting caught.â
âThat was him? Oh my godâŠno wonder the juices tasted so good! It was probably some expensive ass juice.â Y/n scoffed. âI canât believe him. Heâs so confusing, he teases me all the time but pulls this?â
âI think he actually doesnât dislike you at all. I meanâhe did start tutoring to help you.â
âTo help me? Thatâs crazy, Hao. Why would it be helping me?â Y/n exclaimed, she was pacing around her room now. âBecause you said that he always shows up at bad times, like when you and Shin are arguing. He for sure heard your complaints and wanted to help you without you knowing.â
âI mean, he did ask to help me but I said no.â Y/n thought for a second. âI thought he was just fucking with me.â
Hao scoffed. âGod, your stupid rivalry is so pointless. You guys could be friends by now if you werenât so stubborn.â
âNow, youâre blaming me?â
âAm I wrong?â Zhang Hao was not wrong at all. Y/n was stubborn, stupid stubborn. âYou think everything is a competition and he just follows along with it looking for entertainment.â
âEven if he started tutoring not to help you and did it for himself you shouldnât look at it as him trying to steal âyour thingâ. If heâs doing this to look better on applications, donât be so hypocritical. Because youâre doing exactly that. Youâre tutoring to look better on applications, are you not?â
Y/n sighed, âYouâre right.â She really hated when Zhang Hao was right, and Zhang Hao is always right. She was glad he was there to bring her to her senses though, she appreciated it.
âI always am.â Hao teased, Y/n scoffed at this.
â
âHi, Hiyyih.â Y/n said as the tall blonde approached her. âHow was your grandparents' house?â Y/n asked. Hiyyih and her siblings spent the weekend at their grandparents house. âFun, I ate well.â
âI bet you did.â Y/n chuckled. âI gotta go to the gym. Wanna come with?â Y/n shut her locker. âWhat for?â
âThe soccer tournament, duh.â Y/n playfully rolled her eyes. âOhâyou were being serious about that.â Hiyyihâs eyes widened to surprise.
âWhy would I lie about that?â Y/n asks seriously. âBecause, last time anyone checked you are absolutely shit at soccer.â Hiyyih said with honesty. âIf you're doing this simply because of your stupid rivalry with Park Gunwook then donât do it.â
Y/n had been hearing that a lot recently. She even hears it from people sheâs never talked to before.
âItâs not. Itâll look good on my applications. And besides, Jake is gonna help me out.â Y/n sighed.
âJake? As in, puppy cute aussie jake?â
âYesâpuppy cute aussie jakeâwhy do you call him that?â Y/nâs eyebrow furrowed.
âBecause heâs like a cute puppy, and heâs australian.â Hiyyih shrugged her shoulders. âJake is the only Jake at our school, who else would I be talking about?â Y/n shook her head.
âSoâyouâre still seriously doing this?â Hiyyih asked as they walked into the gym. A bit crowded from all the signups. âYes, if Jake Sim said heâd teach me then Iâm gonna accept.â Y/n whispered, not wanting anyone else to hear.
âHeâhe said that!â Hiyyihâs eyes widened. âYes, Jake Sim would do anything to teach what he loves.â Y/n scoffed. âOh godâis Kim Dayeon signing up.â Y/n wavered.
âShe could be, or she could just be standing with Park Gunwook and Han Yujin.â Hiyyih put some serious thought into it. âLike I am with you.â She shrugged her shoulders. âWeâll see soon, câmon.â Hiyyih dragged the two into a line.
Park Gunwook, Han Yujin, and Nishimura Riki always signed up for the fundraiser ever since it became a thing. You would think the whole soccer team would but that would just be a disadvantage.
Kim Jiwoong just had better things to do, Kim Gyuvin liked to watch the game rather than play in it once in a while, Jake Sim would actually help people practice since he wouldnât sign up, Kim Hyunjin had better things to do like karaoke with her close friends, Lee Heeseung would rather do the basketball fundraiser than the soccer one, Hwang Intak also liked to watch rather than play more, Yang Jungwon would actually watch Heeseung play the basketball one, and Kim Sunwoo, the captain whoâs in his last year was just far to competitive that he knew it was best not to sign up.
âOkay, Gunwook is taking a sheet of paperâŠand then YujinâŠand nowâŠâ
âOkay you donât have to narrate whatâs happening.â Y/n interrupted her. âOkay, she isnât signing up. Youâre good!â Hiyyih gave her best friend a thumbs up.
âSo, what team do you want to be on?â Hiyyih asked. There are four teams, red, blue, pink, and green. The sheet of paper they pick before signing up is the team theyâll get, then theyâll sign their name and grade onto the teams sheet.
âWhatever team Park Gunwook is not on.â
âDid Zhang Haoâs little speech not get through to you?â Hiyyih asked and Y/n groaned out loud. âHe told you?â Y/n sighed. âOf course he did. Y/n, seriously the rivalry has to stop. What if you both end up getting into the same college and it lasts those four years as well? Your professors are not gonna put up with that shit.â
Y/n huffed. âI donât know, I have to figure my own shit out first.â
âHi.â Y/n said as it was her turn to pick up a small sheet of paper. âRed.â Y/n said as she turned her paper around to show Kim Hyunjin and Lee Heeseung. âSign this sheet right here!â Hyunjin said as she handed Y/n the clipboard with the sign-up sheet.
Y/n scanned the paper to look for a specific name.
Kim MinJi | Grade 12
Moon JaeYun | Grade 12
Huh YunJin | Grade 12
Sim JaYoon/Yoon | Grade 12
Nishimura Riki/Ni-ki | Grade 11
Sohn YoungJae/Eric | Grade 12
Park GunWook | Grade 11
Kum JunHyeon | Grade 12
Naoi Rei | Grade 12
Hirota Riki/Maki | Grade 11
She wrote down her name and quietly sighed.
âThank you so much.â Y/n smiled and placed the clipboard back down before walking off.
âSo?â Hiyyih was waiting to know what made Y/n sigh. âWeâre on the same team.â Y/n said bluntly. âIâll have to be in his range of area for five hours a day for three weeks.â
â
âHello, is everyone here? Looks like it.â Mrs. Jeo said as she quietly did a head count. âPerfect, all eleven of you are here!â
âI am Mrs. Jeo! I am the red team's coach and representative! Letâs have a safe and fun practice! Please grab a ball and pair up into four groups of two and one group of three!â Mrs. Jeo introduced herself.
Y/n was gonna walk over to Kim Minji and ask if she wanted to be partners but that was before she felt a tug on the sleeve of her shirt.
âY/n, be my partner.â Park Gunwook said as the girl turned around. âWhy?â Y/n asked, eyebrows furrowed. âBecause I asked. And who wouldnât want to be partners with the star player?â Gunwook gassed himself up.
âMe. I donât want to.â Y/n scoffed.
âToo late. Everyone else already has a partner.â Gunwook hummed and gently grabbed her shoulders, turning the girl around to see everyone else paired up.
âLetâs grab a ball.â Gunwook gave her a taunting smile. âOh! and these will be your partners for the three weeks! Pick someone you get along with!â Mrs. Jeo said cheerfully.
Everyoneâs eyes went to Gunwook and Y/n. Gunwook who had a smile on his face and Y/n who had facepalmed.
âKill me.â Y/n complained. âNot just yet!â Gunwook gently passed the ball to Y/n by kicking it.
âYou donât seem like a soccer girl? I remember hearing you don't do any sports actually.â Gunwook tried to make conversation with the girl as the two practiced simple passing.
âIâm not. Iâm doing this for the hell of it.â Y/n excused. âFor the hell of it or just to compete against me? Unfortunately weâre on the same team.â Gunwook teased.
âWhat made you think you couldâve beaten me anyway? No offense, but you donât have any experience in soccer.â
âJake Sim said heâd teach me.â
âAh~The Jake Sim effect.â Gunwook laughed. âHe always does this, instead of signing up he helps the students who absolutely suck at soccer.â
Y/n canât even take offense to that because itâs true, she absolutely sucks at soccer.
âTell you what, Iâll teach you if you tell Jake you donât need to his help anymore.â
âAnd why would I do that?â
âBecause Iâm the star player, duh.â Gunwook rolled his eyes. âYeah, but are you forgetting Jake Sim was a runner up for star player before you took the title?â Y/n reminded him.
âYeah, but then again he isnât star player, so.â Gunwook huffed. âJake Hyung is good but câmon.â Gunwook dragged the last word out.
âWhat do I get out of it?â
âSuper awesome soccer skills, duh.â
âI could easily get that from Jake Sim.â
âOkayâthen, super awesome soccer skills and more time with me.â
âMore time with you? As if anyone would like that.â She scoffed. âHyunki sure does.â Gunwook laughed. âHyunkiâs just got cute boys running in her mind, of course sheâll want to spend time with you.â
âAwh, you think Iâm cute? Youâre kind of cute too, Y/n.â Gunwook pinched her cheek. âYouâre pushing it.â Y/n said sternly.
âListen, Iâm not so bad to be around. Iâm sorry I gave you hell back in middle school andâthe last three years.â He sheepishly chuckled. âAnyways, the point is that Iâm only here to win so the money can go to the charity of the team's choice.â
âJust put some serious thought into it. I wonât force you to.â
â
Y/n put some serious thought into it. Maybe Gunwook coaching her could help them get along. But, would she really do that? No.
âHi, Jake.â Y/n said as she walked up to the boy on the field. âHi, Y/n. Are you ready?â He asked as he kicked the ball around and did a few tricks. âOkay, Showoff.â Y/n teased.
âWhat, you donât wanna learn a few tricks?â Jake chuckled. âI only need to know the basics.â Y/n shrugged her shoulders.
âThe basics? Please, anyone could teach you the basics. Whyâd you ask me?â
âBecause I know you wouldâve said yes. And I know your teammates are busy doing other stuff.â
âI heard Gunwook offered to teach you, why didnât you take the offer up.â Jake asked. âYou know why.â Y/n squinted her eyes as the sun was in her way. âHowâd you know anyway?â Y/n asked.
âPlease, Park Gunwook and Jeon Y/n. You guys are practically a twitter hashtag trending every week.â
âI canât stand Gunwook, why would I take his offer up if I canât even stand him?â Y/n sighed. âGunwook isnât that bad. I understand you guys have a bad past but when you get to really know him heâs like a big baby.â
âPark Gunwook, a big baby?â Y/n laughed.
âYou love exposing me, donât you Hyung.â A voice was heard from behind. âHi, Gunwookie.â Jake teased.
âWhattaâ doing here?â Jake asked. âI canât watch you guys practice?â Gunwook responded. âDidnât say thatâŠjust kind ofâŠawkwardâŠyouâre just gonna watch?â
âI mean, yeah? Everyoneâs busy so Iâm just gonna watch you guys.â Gunwook shrugged his shoulders. âHelp me teach Y/n.â Jake gestured to Gunwook to come closer. âYouâre her partner anyway and on the same team.â
âI do end up teaching you after all.â Gunwook whispered as he walked past Y/n.
â
Instead of seeing Gunwook for five hours a day for the next three weeks it turned into six. It was gonna be a living hell for her.
She thought so at least.
The game was soon and they were almost three weeks into the practices plus Jake and Gunwook giving her extra help and it wasnât so bad actually.
She started to see why people had been so obsessed over Park Gunwook. He was actually sweet and considerate. He would bring extra drinks for the three, towels to wipe sweat, and always brought an extra sweater just in case. He always offers it to Y/n when it gets colder later in the day.
She would be lying if she said that her heart didnât beat twice as fast those couple of weeks they spent together. But she would never admit that publicly. It was too embarrassing for her and her reputation.
Gunwook pushed aside their rivalry and taught Y/n how to play soccer fairly without any arguments, or trying to start any.
âY/n, how many times do I have to tell you. Kick harder. Youâre not consistent with it.â Gunwook sighed. âI donât care if you hit me.â
âTrust me I want to hit you.â Y/n groaned. âSo why arenât you doing so?â Gunwook scoffed. âIf you get injured, our team is basically in jeopardy.â Y/n was reaching with this, there were plenty of decent Soccer players on their team.
âPlease, like youâd even be able to injure me.â
âYouâre really testing my patience, Park Gunwook.â Y/n stepped closer to the boy.
âOkayâthatâs enough.â Jake pulled the two apart. He found it funny at first but had to stop before it got out of hand. âTake five.â Jake nervously laughed and pushed the two in the direction of the bleachers.
âYou guys need to stop this shit. You canât argue on the field during the game.â Jake scolded the two.
âWe got it, Hyung.â Gunwook sighed. âDo you really? This shit has been going on for years, when is it gonna stop?â Jake rarely ever scolded the younger, and Gunwook hated it when he did.
âYes, we do. Weâll try and get along.â
â
The two âgot alongâ you could sayâŠ?
They tried their best not to argue and stay civil with each other and it actually was kind of peaceful for a while.
It was the day of the games and Y/nâs heart was pounding with pressure and anxiety. Her leg shook up and down and her hands shaking and knuckles cracked consistently.
âYouâll do good. Donât worry. Once youâre on the field youâll get an adrenaline rush and do your best to keep up and win.â Gunwook assured the girl.
âHow do you know thatâll happen?â Y/n asked. âWeâre more alike than you think, Y/n.â
âWe have the same desire to win and be the best. We get nervous and then a sudden adrenaline rush hits.â
Park Gunwook and Jeon Y/n had a lot more in common.
âHi, Hyung! Hi, Y/n Noona.â Yujin said cheerfully as he skipped to the tent the red team was resting at.
âHi, Yujinnie.â Gunwook ruffled the youngest hair. âHi.â Y/n waved quietly.
âDid you see the lineup?â Yujin asked. âIf you win against blue and I win against green we get to play a game against each other!â
âI did. Good luck, you should head back to your tent now. Games are starting soon!â Gunwook patted Yujinâs back.
âGood luck, Yujin.â Y/n said as well. âThank you.â Yujin said with a big smile on his face.
Gunwook sighed. âI love that kid. A shame that heâll lose.â Gunwook chuckled. âBut he does have some rage on the field. Better watch out for him.â Gunwook warned Y/n.
âThe real person you watch out for is Gyu Duho,â Ni-ki pointed out. âHe plays dirty. When we had gym together he would break all the rules in the sports. He even sent a girl to the nurseâs office because he shoved her too roughly.â
âI heard he didnât even apologize either.â Yunjin chimes in. âHeâs a weirdo, and itâs drizzling so better be careful out there.â
The Pink and Green team match was up first.
It went smoothly and slid right by. It was a good match, Green (Yujinâs) team won.
Now it was time for the Red versus Blue match.
âOkay Red team! Huddle up before we go on the field!â Mrs Jeo clapped her hands and everyone huddled up.
âI want you all to do your best, have no worries and just have fun!â She exclaimed.
âGo! Go! Go!â She cheered as the team ran into the field.
âY/n,â Gunwook said as the two were walking to their positions. âJust flow with it and donât stress.â He patted her shoulder.
âOkay.â Y/n breathed out. âWhat if I do something horribly wrong and we lose?â
âIâll bring the team to victory.â He shrugged his shoulders.
âNow we have the Red versus Blue! On the Red team they have Star Player Park Gunwook and Nishimura Riki of the soccer team! Do you think Red or Blue will win?â Danielle Marsh, the sports announcer said.
âLooks like Park Gunwook and Jeon Y/n are getting along? Thatâs a first.â Danielleâs little laugh could be heard on the mic.
âIs that Park Gunwookâs arm around Y/nâs shoulder? Looks like the two are getting close!â
âLetâs start the match!â
The start of the match went by smoothly as well. Y/n tried her best to keep up and actually didnât do so bad. Y/n has only seen just a couple of clips of Gunwook on the field but actually being there next to him, playing the game with him, and passing the ball to him, felt different.
It was finally halftime and Y/n was so happy she survived the first half without being as bad as she expected herself to be.
âY/n, youâre doing good. I donât know why you were so worried.â
âThis is all new to me.â Y/n gulped her water down. âOf course Iâm nervous.â She huffed. âI understand why people are so obsessed with the star player now.â Y/n confessed.
âYeah, and whyâs that?â Gunwook smirked. âI can see your passion for soccer on the field. Itâsâthe realest version of you, yâknow?â
Gunwook hesitated for a bit before nodding his head in agreement. âYeah.â
â
The second half of the game went even smoother now that Y/n got the hang of it.
The Red team won against the Blue team and now the final match is happening soon.
She was nervous about this last match though, sheâll have to face Gyu Duho.
Going against Green was a little more difficult for Y/n. Especially since they had more experienced players.
âGuys, be careful out there. Itâs raining a little harder now so the grass is gonna be slippery, Green has players who are more experienced and rough. Put your health first.â Mrs. Jeo patted all their backs before they ran to the field.
âLooks like we got Red and Green going against each other now! For the first time it looks like Park Gunwook and Han Yujin are going against each other! Will the rage of the youngest win or the star player pull through?!â
âStar Player, blah blah blah. All they talk about is Gunwook, does that not upset you?â Duho scoffed as he and Ni-ki were battling for the ball. âWhy would it? Gunwook Hyung is good. Theyâre not lying.â
âStill, it doesnât bother you that they never mention you or anyone else?â
âIt doesnât. Our team is good but he makes our team better. Youâre not gonna get under my skin.â Ni-ki scoffed.
âHyung!â Ni-ki shouted as he passed the ball to Gunwook.
Gunwook kicked the ball into the goal, scoring the first point.
âPark Gunwook scores the first point for team Red!â
âHyung. Duhoâs trying to get under our skin, watch out. Iâll try and let everyone know.â Ni-ki said quickly as he passed by Gunwook.
Y/n didnât know what was happening but she could see Ni-ki spreading some sort of word.
âY/n.â She felt her shoulder being touched. âDuhoâs gonna try and get under your skin. Donât fall for it.â Gunwook warned the girl. âWhatâs he gonna say?â She asked. âProbably some shit thatâll make you mad.â
âYouâre doing good, donât let him distract you.â Gunwook teased the girl by squeezing her right cheek. âUgh.â Y/n wiped her cheek. âBe careful with the grass.â He said before running back.
It was like Y/n was cursed because right after that Gyu Duho and her were fighting for the ball.
âHow does it feel to be Gunwookâs shadow? Always second while heâs first.â Duho chuckled. âHe's a star player, youâre nothing. Heâs top of class, your top two. He's the class president, and you're just the girl who lost to him.â
âHeâs Kim Dayeonâs best friend and you used to be her best friend.â
Duho knew he struck a nerve, it was perfect timing for him to steal the ball and âaccidentallyâ kick the back of her leg making her slip.
Y/n didnât move, it wasnât like she was injured super bad she just needed to take a breatherâŠon the grassy muddy ground.
âLooks like Jeon Y/n is down! Is she okayâŠdo we need to get a medic? Omg.â
âWe canât tell if that was a foul or not. It couldâve been an accident.â
âLooks like sheâs good! Sheâs up but I donât think sheâll be able to continue, looks like sheâs limping. Park Gunwook is running to the scene andâŠhelping Y/n!? Heâs got his arm around her shoulders helping her to the sidelines. I think this is the end of their rivalry.â
âAre you okay?â Gunwook asked in a panic tone. âIâm good, I think my ankles just sprained, Iâll be fine. Justâwin the match and best Gyu Duho.â
âWhatâd he say to you?â
âSome shit that got under my skin.â
Yujin ran over to Duho. âDude. What was that for? We play fair on the field.â Yujin scoffed. âDude? Whereâs your respect for your senior?â
âRespect? Respect my ass, bro.â Yujin scoffed before he ran to the sidelines to check on Y/n before the match began again.
âIâm so sorry about that, noona.â Yujin apologized frantically. âDonât be sorry. It was Duhoâs fault. Heâs such an ass.â
âI can purposely be bad so you guys can win!? Or not pass the ball to him.â Yujin suggested. âDonât do that, I want us to win fairly.â Gunwook said.
âJust play how you would usually play.â
â
Red team celebrated their win with pizza at a restaurant in the city.
âGyu Duho sucks, like he can literally kiss my ass.â Y/n said out loud. âY/n! Donât speak so inappropriately.â Mrs. Jeo scolded the girl.
âBut you are not wrong.â She muttered. âWhat he did tonight on the field was unfair and wrong! What he did to our Y/n should not have gone over everyoneâs head!â Mrs. Jeo complained.
âLook at her.â Mrs. Jeo pointed to Y/n who was sitting with a straight face. âOhâIâm like good actually, I can handle this pain, but thank you for the awesome speech.â Y/n nodded her head.
âThank you, Y/n.â She put her hands on her chest like her heart was warmed. âNow excuse me, I have to go to the ladies room.â
âSo like, what did he say to everyone on the field?â Huh Yunjin asked. âIf he didâhe was gonna say some shit to me but then I told him to shut up.â
âHe was talking about Gunwook being the star player and how he overshines the soccer team but I said it didnât bother me.â Ni-ki shrugged his shoulders. âDo I? I donât mean tooâŠâ Gunwook asked and went quiet. âI meanâyeah but itâs good. Our team is good but you make it better. Itâs not your fault you were gifted with awesome soccer skills.â
âI wasnât gifted.â Gunwook awkwardly chuckled. âI just practiced a lot when I was younger.â
âUhâwhat did he say to you Y/n? If you want to share it.â Gunwook made sure Y/n felt comfortable in the environment, knowing she rarely ever went out. âIâllâIâll tell you later. When I feel like it.â
â
Gunwook offered to give Y/n a ride and she accepted, who wouldnât? It was cold out and Y/n could barely walk without a limp.
âAbout earlier, when I said Iâll tell you what Duho said to me.â Y/n broke the silence. âYeah, what about it?â Gunwookâs head tilted slightly.
âDuho was comparing us. He asked how I felt about being in your shadow. He used every example he could, like how youâre ranked one and Iâm ranked two, and how youâre a star player and I do nothing, how youâre class president and I was the girl that lost to you. The one that really hit a nerve was when he mentioned Kim Dayeon and how youâre her best friend now and Iâm not.â Y/n wasnât planning on telling him what he had said due to it actually being true.
âI tried to stop caring about what happened but I canât. Especially since me and Dayeon used to be so close. To be honest, I had the fattest crush on her.â Y/n laughed out loud. âYou did?â Gunwook gasped. âWas it not obvious?â
âI just thought you guys were really close and you didnât want to lose her.â He shrugged his shoulders. âIâm sorry, again. For all that shit I did in middle school and for the other shit I did that may have hurt you.â
âYouâre not a shadow of me. Weâre both good at our own stuff. Like how you put so much time into tutoring others. I literally want to quit tutoring so bad right now.â He chuckled. âI donât know how you deal with everyone. Hyunki literally keeps trying to flirt with me.â
Y/n scoffed. âAlmost every one of my students is scared of me, I donât know why.â
âMaybe itâs the straight face youâre pulling right now, itâs a little intimidating.â Gunwook waved his hand to her face.
âCan we settle this? I donât want to have any more bad blood with you anymore.â Gunwook asked, looking at the girl as he stopped at a red light.
âYes, oh my god I donât know how long I could keep this stubbornness up. Like Iâm so sick and tired of trying to one up you.â Y/n sighed. âIâll admit it and say I just hated not being first and took that out on you, but after hearingâfrom literally everyone on how stupid our rivalry is Iâm finally starting to see their point.â
âI never hated you Y/n. I liked to tease you back then because of how cute your little angry face was. Itâs still cute now.â Gunwook confessed to the girl.
âHahaâThanks.â She laughed awkwardly, she wasnât used to compliments like this. Especially from someone sheâs been feuding with for years.
â
Y/n and Gunwook didnât talk during school, they would only wave to each other in the morning and that was it. They had settled their bad blood but that didnât mean they were friends.
âSo waitâyou guys are cool now?â Hao asked. âYeah, we settled the rivalry but we arenât friends. Itâs kind of embarrassing to me.â
âHow is that embarrassing?â Hiyyih asked. âBecause everyone knows how much Iâve slandered him over the years, I canât be caught as a hypocrite!â Y/n spit out. âSo now everyone will only think we wave to each other because he helped me on the field.â
âSo, you guys are coolâŠbut you guys arenât friends? So youâre pretending like you guys didnât have a heart to heart?â Ricky asked, confused with Y/nâs shenanigans as always.
âYes! Exactly that!â
âAnd why again?â Ricky asked again. âBecause I canât be caught being a hypocrite all close to him when last week I was literally talking shit about him and his goofy ass highlighter jersey.â Y/n huffed. âBut when we had practices he was actually so nice to me I canât believe I slandered him so much in my lifetime.â Y/n sighed. âAnd I actually admire his passion for soccer after seeing him play on the field in real time.â
âSo youâre hiding secret feelings for him because you donât want to be caught as a hypocrite?â
âYes.â
âY/n thatâs so stupid.â
âIâve never heard something so dumb.â
âAre you for real?â
All three of her friends said to her.
âYes, I am for real! My reputation is in jeopardy if this ever gets out!â
â
âSo you guys are good now?â Kim Dayeon asked Park Gunwook. âYeah, weâre good. But I donât think she wants us to be friends.â
âWhy?â
âBecause all we do is wave to each otherâŠthatâs weird.â Gunwook looked around the room trying not to make eye contact with Dayeon. âWhy are you looking around the room? Iâm right here?â Dayeon asked.
âOkay, donât tell anyone this butâwe had a heart to heart but it was about some shit that Gyu Duho said and he mentioned you so you were in the conversation.â
âOkayâŠwhat did he say?â
âHe said some shit about Y/n being my shadow and he even went as far as mentioning how Iâm your best friend now and sheâs notâŠthatâs why she froze up and he took the opportunity to trip her.â
âHe said that!? Thatâs so evil, oh my god.â Dayeon gasped. âIâll beat his assâwhy would he even say that.â
âBecause he was trying to get under all our skins! It was such a jerk move.â
âWhere is he right now?â Dayeon asked, standing up from her seat. âWoahâDayeon youâre not seriously gonna beat him upâright?â Gunwook asked as the girl started walking out the classroom.
âNo?â Dayeonâs eyebrow furrowed. âIâm just gonna beat him at basketball, duh.â
âWhat are you gonna do 1v1?â
âNo, youâre crazy, Iâm good at basketball but Duhoâs better. Thatâd be setting me up for failure.â Dayeons eyes widened. âIâll get a team of four.â
âGood idea.â
âI know. I get Heeseung and Kim Hyunjin, and you get Ricky.â
âWoah WoahâRicky? Iâm getting Ricky?â Gunwook stopped Dayeon before she could run off. âThis is not a time to be jealous, Park Gunwook.â
Dayeon ran to find Heeseung and Hyunjin. Gunwook stood there for a while before deciding to go find Y/n. Because wherever Y/n was, Ricky was with her.
Ever since Ricky started school here heâs been attached to Y/n, Hao, and Hiyyih at the hip. Besides the times heâd go and play basketball with Dayeon or anyone else at the school court.
âY/n.â Gunwook said, gasping as he reached the lunch table where Y/n, Hao, and Hiyyih were sitting. âWhereâs Ricky?â
âHeâs at the basketball court, why?â Y/n asked, confused. âOkay goodâheâs already there.â Gunwook said in between breaths. âThere is about to be an epic awesome amazing 4v4 game going on. Letâs go.â Gunwook grabbed the girl's arm and she grabbed Haoâs and Hiyyihâs.
âGuysâcan we walk at least?â Hao shouted.
â
âSo why do we need to be here?â Y/n asked, slightly squinting her eyes since the sun was in her way. Gunwook switched spots with her so the sun wouldnât blind her. âDayeonâs gonna 4v4 Gyu Duho and Rickyâs apart of her team.â
Haoâs eyes slightly widened and his head turned to look at Hiyyih. They were shocked at Gunwookâs kind gesture. âLetâs sit on the bleachers. I heard news about it is already spreading.â Gunwook said as he dragged the three to the first row of bleachers.
âWhy is she having a basketball match with him?â Y/n asked. âI told her about what he did to you at the soccer game.â Y/nâs jaw slightly dropped. âSheâs doing this all because of what he did?â
âYeah, Dayeon still cares about you, yâknow? She never stopped.â Y/n went quiet. âItâs about to start.â She was grateful that changed the subject.
âFor reals though, who do you think is gonna win? Because everyone on Dayeonâs team is good but everyone on Duhoâs team is also good.â Hiyyih asked. âCâmon, Dayeon got Ricky. Rickyâs so good.â Hao scoffed. âYeah, did you hear how everyone wants to go against Ricky because they couldnât believe how good he was.â Y/n said next.
âIs he that good? Iâve never seen him play.â Gunwook asked. âReally?â Y/n gasped. âHeâs so good, heâs like your level of good but basketball.â Y/n nodded her head.
Gunwook did not like being compared to Ricky at all. Yeah the guy was probably really good, but Gunwook just didnât like being compared to him. Especially since Y/n was over here gassing him up.
âAm I really that good, Jeon Y/n.â Gunwook teased. âHmmâŠYou wish.â Y/n flicked his forehead. âThis is about Ricky, stop looking for attention.â She flicked his forehead again.
â
âCanât believe they won.â Duho was complaining to his teammates. âThey arenât even that good, especially Dayeon, canât believe we got beat by a girl.â
âSay that shit to my face. You wanna act all big and tough during the soccer game but wonât even talk shit to my face?â Dayeon spoke out, she heard them talking as she walked by.
âWhatâs the soccer game got to do with this?â He scoffed, walking closer to her. âNothing, itâs just you played really unfairly and I thought you needed a loss in life.â
âThat Y/n girl deserved it, sheâs so annoying.â
âDonât speak about her like that.â Dayeon scoffed in disbelief.
âYeah? What are you gonna do about it if I do?â Duho pushed Dayeons shoulders. âHit me I dare you.â Dayeon pushed him back.
âWoah! Woah!â Gunwook pulled the two apart. âGuys not here.â He held Dayeon back.
âDayeon, not now.â Gunwook pulled the girl aside.
âHello?? You never get into fights, what was that?â Gunwook asked. âIt was nothing, he was just being an ass.â
âLetâs justâLetâs go cool off at the convenience store.â
â
The silence was loud and awkward as the six of them stared at each other.
âThank you again, Dayeon. You didnât have to.â Y/n thanked Dayeon for the third time this day. âOh, I had to. Gyu Duho is an ass and deserved to lose. And can you believe he was being misogynistic?â Dayeon scoffed. âHe really couldnât believe he got beat by a girl.â
âTwo girls, Kim Hyunjinâs insane.â Ricky chimed in. âTwo! Two! and he was so baffled. What is so hard about believing girls can be good at basketball.â
âHeâs just like every other jerk, itâs not surprising.â Hao shrugged his shoulders.
âMy brother is here, Y/n are you sure you donât need a ride?â Hiyyih asked as she clicked her phone off. âYeah, I literally have a tutoring session in a couple minutes.â Y/n checked the time on her phone.
âOkay, get sleep tonight and please for the love of god do not overwork yourself.â Hiyyih blew a kiss to the girl before leaving the shop with Hao and Ricky behind.
âBye, guys. Weâll see you whenever.â Ricky said as Hao waved bye.
âY/n, I hope weâre cool now.â Dayeon said as she sat up. âWeâve always been âcoolâ, I never had a problem with you.â Y/n chuckled. âItâs you, I had a problem with.â Y/n pointed her finger towards Gunwook.
âYou were just so fun to tease, Y/n-ah. If you saw your face and reactions, you would do the same.â Gunwook patted the girl's head. âI hope weâre cool too.â Gunwook smiled.
âYeah, if you keep this shit up that chance is very low.â
â
Gunwook started a part time job at the convenience store to fill his time. Also because he would see Y/n fall asleep every Tuesday and Thursday when she tutored those two students after school and he could play hero and wake her up.
Seriously though, he wished the girl would stop falling asleep because something bad can happen to her.
Gunwook sighed as he walked in for his shift, pulling his uniform vest over his head before walking over to Y/n.
âY/n.â He gently shook the girl awake. Y/n groaned as she awoke from her sleep. âGunwook, you couldâve just let me sleep.â She sighed. âAnd what let some weird guy take advantage of you? Certainly not.â He scoffed.
âI know you wouldâve beaten his ass for me.â She mumbled as she put her belongings on the table away in her bag.
âEat something before you go, on the house. As always.â Gunwook offered. âThanks, but my sister is at home waiting for me. I need to eat with her.â
âBring her food then. Just pick anything.â
âWhy are you being so nice?â Y/n asked. âRemember, I want us to be cool. Although I really do want to keep our top student rivalry still a thingâŠâ He said hesitantly. âDonât worry. I want to as well.â Y/n chuckled. âYou know how embarrassing itâll be when people start calling me a hypocrite. Especially since last week I called your stupid sweater ugly and everyone heard me.â
âYouâre just a fucking hater it was not ugly.â
âYouâre right, I am a hater. The sweater was kind of cute. I just wanted to insult you.â
âAwh, want to borrow it?â
âYeah, so I can burn it!â
â
âY/n.â One of Y/nâs classmates called her name out. âHm?â Y/n looked up from her paper. âWhatâs going on with you and Gunwook? I feel like I havenât seen you guys argue all week.â
âOhâbad week? I donât know.â Y/n awkwardly laughed. âYeah, bad week! I just donât feel like wasting my breath on him.â
âOh, okay.â Her classmate just nodded her head before turning back to her paper.
Y/n stopped by the convenience store to talk to Gunwook. âHiiii.â Y/n dragged out. âHi, youâre in a good mood?â Gunwookâs eyebrow raised. âI am, because look!â Y/n pulled out her test paper. âI overheard you tell Yujin your test score on the english test and when I had his class and got mine that was when I found out I did better, hah!â
âBlah blah, we all know youâre better at English.â Gunwook shushed the girl. âOh, and people are starting to get suspicious of us. We need to start arguing again.â
âWe argue, likeâall the time? We literally argued about milk earlier today.â Gunwook shrugged his shoulders. âYeah, thatâs not selling it.â Y/n huffed.
âWhat, you want me to go back to calling you out on everything? That was too mean of me, and I donât want to upset you again.â
Y/n just stared at the boy and sighed. He was being so sweet it was hard for her not to fall for him.
âCâmon, Iâm never losing the âi donât give a fuckâ war. I donât care anymore. Letâs go back to arguing like we used to. People arenât buying what weâre selling right now.â
âOkay, but if you get upset itâs on you.â He pointed at the girl. âHi, welcome to GS25.â Gunwook said as he heard the bell of the door go off.
âTodayâs kind of slow. My shift might end early, want to hang out after?â Gunwook asked as he was organizing the lip balms on the counter. âJust us two?â Y/n hesitantly asked. âIf you want it to be,â Gunwook shrugged his shoulders. âYou can invite Bahiyyih. I know guys are really close.â
âSure then.â Y/n nodded her head. âIs it fine if I also invite Gyuvin?â
âWhy wouldnât it be? If iâm inviting Hiyyih you should be able to invite Gyuvin. But,â She dragged out the last word. âIf itâs my house weâre hanging out at he better not trash it, you know how clumsy he is.â
â
Y/n shut her phone off and put it in her pocket. âHiyyih is busy, she canât make it. What about Gyuvin?â She asked as Gunwook took off his vest. âGyuvin canât make it either, heâs with some family right now. What about Hao? I know Ricky and Dayeon are playing ball right now.â
âHeâs on a date with Sung Hanbin.â Y/n said. âItâs just us then, we donât have to hangoutâŠâ
âWaitâheâs on a date with Sung Hanbin?â Gunwookâs eyes widened. âLike Sung Hanbin? Sung Hanbin, the one heâs been in a rivalry with since the beginning of the year?â
âWho else? Yeah, I was surprised too. Hao told me they were assigned as partners for bio and they started to get along and then they randomly kissed one night while researching.â Y/n shrugged her shoulders as she clutched into her tote bag that hung on her right shoulder.
âDo you still want to hang out?â Y/n watched as Gunwook was cleaning up for the next person's shift. âYeah, we can. Iâm good with hanging at your house, donât you have to watch your sister anyway?â Gunwook said as he threw away the cleaning wipe and grabbed his bag.
âSheâs fourteen, she can watch herself. I just get worried sometimes so I have Hiyyih hang out with her.â Y/n and Gunwook walked out of the store and walked to his car.
âItâs late, letâs hang out at your house.â Gunwook beeped his car and opened the door for Y/n then walked to the drivers side. âBut itâs late, like you said. Donât you have to be home too?â Y/n put her seatbelt on.
âMy parents are out for dinner right now, I have time to kill.â
âOh, okay.â Y/n nodded her head. âWhat are we gonna do? I hope itâs not awkward, I donât really have anything fun at my house.â
âTalk? We can talk. I like talking.â Gunwook nodded his head. âHalf of the time you tell me to shut the fuck up?? What do you mean you like to talk?â Y/n scoffed and her jaw dropped.
âI just like to get on your nerves.â Gunwook chuckled.
â
âHi, Hayun.â Y/n said as she took her shoes off at the door, Gunwook as well. âHow was school?â She asked as she hung her tote bag on the hooks on the wall, walking into the kitchen where her sister was at, with Gunwook behind her. âIt was good. Whoâs this?â Hayun asked as she looked up from her phone screen.
âPark Gunwook.â
âPark Gunwook? That guy youâre always shit talking about? Why is he here, donât you hate him?â Hayun gasped. âItâsâcomplicated. Weâve squashed that beef.â Y/nâs head slightly tilted. âMhm, because thatâs totally something youâd do.â Hayunâs eyebrows furrowed. âListen, I know. Weâre cool but we still act all mean to each other around people.â Y/n sighed and slapped Gunwookâs shoulder.
âGunwook, this is my little sister Hayun. Sheâs just like me so watch out.â Y/n cheekily smiled. âWow, twice the torture for me.â Gunwook said sarcastically. âIâm not as bad as my Unnie. Donât worry.â Hayun scoffed.
âDid you call mom and dad?â Y/n asked as she jumped to sit on top of the counter. âBy the way, snack in this cabinet. You can take anything, just not my cookies.â Y/n hit the cabinet next to her. âYeah, we talked about you.â
âBad or good?â Y/n sucked in her breath. âGood, of course. But theyâre seriously worried about you. When are you gonna stop doing these academic lessons?â
âLikeâuh, never. Duh.â Y/n scoffed. âMy teacher is on my ass bro, whenever I ask to get less sessions he talks about how Iâm a good student and should keep this up in order to get into a good college.â
âMan, fuck college.â
âIf mom heard you say that right now youâd get bitch snapped.â Y/nâs eyes widened. Hayun and Y/n were alike in many ways but Hayun didnât have any big plans in life whilst Y/n did.
âBut she isnât.â
âWhere are your parents? If you donât mind me asking.â Gunwook cleared his throat. âTheyâre retail buyers. So theyâre always out on business trips. Like all the time.â Y/n dragged out the last word. âAt this point this is just me and Hayuns house.â She shrugged her shoulders.
âDonât you guys ever miss them or something? I feel like Iâd go insane if I didnât have my mom with me, she helps me with everything.â
âWe do. But this happens so often we got used to it.â Hayun nodded her head. âDonât have that concerned look on your face. Really, itâs nothing.â Y/n ruffled Gunwookâs hair. âDid you just ruffle my hair?â
âYeah even that was weird for me.â Hayun had a face of disgust on. âI was trying to be nice.â Y/nâs jaw dropped. âYeah, maybe donât be nice.â Hayun teasingly smiled at her.
âUnnie, we donât have anything fun here. Why did you invite Gunwook over?â Hayun groaned. âBecause, we just both happened to be free? And besides, I donât want to leave you alone. Gunwook said his parents are out for dinner and he doesnât wanna sit at home doing nothing.â
âSo you invited him here? Why couldnât you guys just go get something to eat?â
âYah, you already want to get rid of me? Are you secretly inviting boys over? Or even girls? Or even throwing parties?â
âWho do you think I am?â Hayun dramatically leaned onto Y/n. âI just wanted some friends over. Can I?â Hayun put her best puppy face on. âItâs late, your friend's parents are gonna let them come? I donât care, I just donât want someoneâs mom to come lecturing me.â
âItâs only eight! Itâll be a sleepover!â
âJust let her, my parents rarely let friends over when I was her age and I almost rioted against them.â Gunwook suggested. âIâm not her parent, if anything bad happens Iâll get blamed.â Y/n scoffed.
âPlease.â Hayun begged. âFine, just clean up after yourselves.â Y/n gently shoved Hayun away.
âI knew youâd say yes! I already invited them overâŠtheyâre almost here.â Hayun confessed. âI know you did. I smelled popcorn the minute I walked in here. Y/n got close to her face and teased her by pinching her cheek.
âCan you guys hangout in your room or something?â Hayun shoved her sister away. âMy room?â Y/n gasped. âAre you embarrassed of us?â Y/n turned her head towards Gunwook. âDo you hear this girl?â She scoffed.
âIâm embarrassed of you, not Gunwook.â Hayun said. âWhatever. Just have fun.â Y/n squeezed Hayunâs right cheek for the last time before gesturing to Gunwook. âLetâs go find something to do.â She said as she grabbed her cookies from the cabinet and led the way to her room.
âThis is my room. Nothing impressive.â Y/n shrugged as the two walked into the off white colored room. âDamn, you might have more awards than me.â Gunwook chuckled as he saw the amount of awards hung up on the wall and displayed on the girls bookshelf.â
âBest badminton player?â Gunwookâs head tilted slightly as he saw the award on her shelf. âI didnât know you played badminton?â
âOnly for a little.â Y/n was setting her bed up for the two to sit on. âFor a year when I was fourteen. I won the award and then I quit.â
âYou quit? Why waste talent?â Gunwook asked as he looked back at the girl. âIâm an overachiever. I quit badminton to join the debate club so I can win a medal.â Y/n said. âDamn, youâre worse than me.â Gunwook laughed.
âI blame my parents.â Y/n chuckled. âTheyâre both overachievers who are perfect for each other.â She patted the spot next to her on her bed, gesturing for him to sit.
âThey practically push everything onto me.â Her face scrunched up slightly. âI donât even want to go to college that bad. My parents want me in medical school.â Gunwook sat on the bed next to her.
âIâm just doing everything because Iâm told to, and achieving all that is kind of worthless but feels nice.â
âWhat do you want to do?â Gunwook asked with pure curiosity. âI donât know to be honest. If I live life tutoring students then so be it.â She shrugged her shoulders. âItâs almost like itâs all I know now.â
âThatâs not true. There must be something you do like, right?â He asked. âYou seem to have no control in your lifeâŠno offense. Itâs just youâre almost graduating soon and you donât know what you want to do for yourself?â
âYouâre so competitive with me over every academic thing but youâre not getting anything out of it. What if you go to medical school, you're rich but not happy?â
Y/n went silent for a second. Processing what Gunwook was saying.
âNo offense taken. Youâre right, I donât know what Iâm doing with life.â Y/n sighed. âWhat do you want to do?â Y/n asked to switch the subject to him. âI want to do soccer professionally, if that doesnât work out Iâll train to be an idol, and if not that then Iâll go to college for Music.â
âI didnât know you wanted to do that.â Y/n hummed and nodded her head. âI think youâd be a good idol.â
âIâve never told anyone but Dayeon that, you have to promise to not tell anyone else.â Gunwook panicked and told the girl. âDonât worry, secrets are safe with me.â She chuckled. âDo you dance too?â
âYeah, I dance at this studio near my house.â
âCool. I hope it turns out well for you. Youâd be a good professional soccer player as well, itâs your specialty.â
âYeah, but I donât want that to be what people only know me for.â He complained. âLike how people know you for being the schoolâs official tutor.â He teased the girl. âGod, I need to quit, but I make a fair amount of money from it.â She groaned and fell back into her pillows.
The two heard a couple of shrieks from the living room. âIf theyâre watching a horror movie it better be a good one and not some corny one for them to be screaming like that.â Y/n stood up and peaked out her door to check on the girls.
âTheyâre fine.â She shut her door and went back to lay on her bed.
âThatâs good, at least youâre making money. Seriously, when is Shin gonna get off your ass.â Gunwook sighed. âWhen I told him I wanted to tutor to help you he almost picked a fight with me.â
âReally? How?â Y/n held herself up with her elbow. âHe said that you didnât need help, and said that I was already super busy with being class president and soccer.â
âWell, heâs kind of right. You didnât need to do that.â Y/n hummed. âI wanted to help you.â Gunwook shrugged his shoulders. âI never really had anything against you, weâre just both equally as competitive and equally as stubborn.â
âY/n, I mean it when I want us to be cool.â Gunwook nodded his head. âI know.â Y/n said hesitantly. âIâm still getting used to being friends with you.â
âI get it. Just be yourself around meâbut not the one where we argue all the time.â He corrected himself. âIt gets tiring arguing all the time.â He confessed. âI know.â Y/n had a slight face of disgustment.
âWanna watch a movie? Or even listen to some music? You like kpop, right?â Y/n asked as she flipped through her CD folder. âYeah, what do you have?â Gunwook asked as he watched the girl flip through CDâs.
âSame dream, same mind, same night.â Y/n pulled the album CD and put it into her CD player. âBy Seventeen, do you listen to them?â
âWho doesnât?â Gunwook scoffed. âIf you donât then Iâll just assume youâre a loser.â He chuckled. âYouâre right, Seventeen is for the cuties.â Y/n agreed as she laid back down on her stomach. âDid you just call me a cutie, Jeon Y/n?â He teased the girl. âHm, I called myself a cutie. If the shoe fits though.â Y/n mumbled, getting a little reckless due to her tiredness.
âThis song is so nice and dreamy, I love it.â Y/n mumbled some more. âDonât fall asleep on me.â Gunwook laughed as he saw the girl close her eyes for a while. âYouâre right. Thatâd be awkward.â She said as she sat back up.
âItâs getting really late, are your parents still not home yet?â Y/n asked as she checked the time on her watch. âThey should be there soon. I should get going as well.â He sighed. âIâll walk you out.â Y/n stands up and throws a sweater on to walk the boy out.
âIâll see you tomorrow? At the park, letâs watch Dayeon and Rickyâs game.â Y/n said as she slid her slides on and Gunwook put his shoes on. âYeah, do you not have any sessions tomorrow?â He asked as the two walked outside to his car.
âI canceled all of them.â
âWoah? All of them? What will Shin say?â
âScrew what he says. Iâm sick of his shit.â Y/n groaned. âIâll see you, okay? Drive safe.â Y/n said.
âI would give you a hug but I feel like we arenât that cool with each other yet.â Y/n said hesitantly. âWho said that?â Gunwook unexpectedly grabbed the girl by her waist and hoisted her up over his shoulder. âWeâre gonna be best friends, Jeon Y/n!â Gunwook spun around in a circle as Y/n laughed and pleaded to get put down.
âBest friends, my ass.â Y/n genuinely laughed, trying to catch her breath. âGoodnight, Iâll see you tomorrow morning.â Y/n chuckled and punched his shoulder.
âOkay, bye.â Gunwook chuckled and finally got into his car. Y/n waved bye until his car was at the end of the street.
She turned around to see Hayun and three of her friends watching her from the window. She walked back to the house and slipped her jacket and shoes off at the doorstep.
âUnnie, was that your boyfriend?â One of Hayunâs friends asked. âNo, do you guys think weâre together?â Y/n asked. âYes! He lifted you up, and even spun you!â
âYeah, weâre just friends.â Y/n nodded her head. âDonât stay up too late.â She gave a small smile to Hayun and her friends before walking back to her room.
â
âHi.â Y/n said as she and Gunwook approached Dayeon who was already with Ricky and Hyunjin. âHi, you guys seem unusually close lately.â Dayeon pointed out as she pointed to Gunwookâs arm resting on Y/nâs shoulder.
âYeah, ever since we first started playing games at this park.â Ricky spoke out. âWhat? Me and Gunwookie are friends now.â Y/n slightly gasped and teased the boy by pinching his cheek.
âShe even called him Gunwookie, oh my god weâve lost her.â Ricky jokes. âThis is nice, weâre just not used to it.â Dayeon smiled, talking about the two getting along without any problems. âTrust me, it wasnât easy for me to get used to it either.â Y/n chuckled.
âWhen are you guys playing?â Gunwook asked, squinting slightly due to the sun being in his eyes. âSoon. Is hiyyih or hao coming?â Ricky asked. âHiyyih has a family thing and Hao is on a date.â
âIs Hao still talking to Sung Hanbin?â Dayeon asked, curious on the twoâs relationship status due to their known dynamic between the two. âTalking? Theyâre practically dating now.â Y/n scoffed.
âThatâs so crazy. They used to have such a huge rivalry, and now theyâre giggling and probably shit talking together.â
âHonestly could be you guys.â Dayeon gestured at Y/n and Gunwook who were standing next to each other almost hip to hip by now. âPft, no.â Y/n laughed as she took a step away from the boy. âGunwookâs cute, Iâm busy, dating just isnât in my schedule.â
âSo you admit heâs cute?â
âYeah, I have no shame.â Y/n shrugged her shoulders and looked at the boy who was slightly red. Y/n slowly stopped caring about keeping their rivalry image up. She started to admit things that wouldâve made her die hearing it months ago.
âWhat, I canât call friends cute.â Y/n said as she saw the stares her friends gave her. âOuuu, she just friendzoned you.â Ricky teased Gunwook as he patted his shoulder. âYouâre cute too, Y/n-ah.â Gunwook ruffled her hair.
âUgh, I hate you guys.â Dayeon groaned and walked away to the bleachers, the rest following her behind. âSometimes I miss when you guys used to argue 24/7. People at school are starting to talk.â Dayeon mentioned as she sat down next to Y/n.
âI donât care anymore, people can talk.â Y/n sighed. âShin is getting on my ass about me canceling these sessions.â Y/n ran her fingers between her hair, getting it out of her face due to the wind. âI still have good credits and a good GPA, Iâm not gonna fail yet itâs like he still wants me to do all this shit.â
âHeâs making you do all his dirty work. Just quit it all together.â Hyunjin suggested as she stretched. âBut I feel bad for the kids, they actually need help with their studies and Shin isnât gonna help them with shit.â Y/n sighed.
âIâll beg him to take half of your students.â Gunwook suggested. âThatâs too much, I have like twelve students.â Y/n sighed. âWe can split it equally, I take six and you keep six.â
âNo, really itâs okay.â
âY/n, youâre so stubborn just let him help you.â Ricky spoke out. âAnd so is Gunwook, if you two keep this up you wonât get anywhere.â Dayeon said.
âFine.â Y/n huffed. âI donât know how youâll convince Shin to let you take half of my students.â
â
âMr. Shin.â Gunwook walked up to his desk. âI wanted to talk to you about something.â Mr. Shin turned his attention to the boy. âWhat is it?â He asked.
âWait, Y/n. Can you wait at your seat? I need to talk to you after.â Mr. Shin stopped the girl before she could leave the classroom.
âI wanted to ask if I can tutor more of Y/nâs students? Just half, she has six and Iâll have six. Just to take some things off her back.â Gunwook spoke.
âWhy? Y/n is doing fine. Arenât you super busy with class president duties and soccer? Arenât you in the debate club too?â
âI assure you I can do this.â Gunwook assured the older man. âHave you noticed how much sheâs been canceling?â Gunwook turned his head to the girl behind him.
Mr. Shin sighed. âThatâs what I wanted to talk to Y/n about.â He gestured to the girl to come over to his desk. âY/n, I was told you were seen at the park the other day. You told me you were sick, did you lie to me?â
âUhâYes, Mr. Shin.â Y/n said hesitantly. Thinking it was better to tell the truth now than to get caught later. âWhy? You have such a bright future ahead. These sessions will help your application look amazing.â
âTo be completely honestâŠI hate doing these sessions. The only good thing that comes out of these is students' grades are improving.â
âWhat are you saying? You donât want to go to college? What about medical school? Your parents have spoken very highly of you and how amazing your future will be.â
âYeah, a future they want. I donât want to do any of that.â Y/n sighed. âIâll continue doing the tutor sessions. Only to help the students out. Let Gunwook take half of my students, I have a life of my own. I donât want to spend my last years of high school spending it in books. I want to make time for myself.â
âIâm not gonna quit it completely, I just want you to understand that I do not have all the time in the world to help other kids while I can barely help myself.â
âYouâre good at negotiating, Y/n. Fine, Gunwook can take half your students. Next time tell me the truth. You guys can go now.â He shooed the two out of his room.
âThat last part was a little dramatic.â Gunwook mumbled, only for the girl to hear. âI know, I needed to really sell it.â Y/n mumbled back.
â
âI love driving in the spring.â Gunwook shouted as they had blasted music playing through his car. âI love the wind in my face and the warm weather!â He shouted yet again.
âWeâre getting stares.â Y/n laughed as she slightly turned down the music. âWeâre blasting Seventeen, itâd be weird if we didnât get stares.â He shrugged his shoulders, pulling into the school parking lot.
âI think itâs because you just drove me to school, not the fact that weâre blasting Seventeen.â Y/n chuckled as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
âLetâs go.â Gunwook turned his car off and unlocked the doors. âWow, you guys truly stopped giving a fuck.â Hao laughed as the two approached the group of friends that hung around a pillar in the schoolâs courtyard.
âIt was like that one Twilight scene that happened, where all the siblings walk out of the car.â Hiyyih said. âAre we that cool, Hiyyih?.â Y/n smirked. âCool? Sure, I guess. Big impact? Yes.â Hiyyih laughed.
âI canât wait to hear what everyone thinks of this.â Dayeon chuckled. âThis might be even bigger than me and Hanbin.â Hao raised his eyebrow as he spoke.
âRight, especially since Gunwook and Y/n have had this rivalry shit since middle school.â Hiyyih nodded her head. âI hope they donât bring up the fact that I talked shit about his pants last week.â Y/n mumbled slightly.
âYouâre my biggest hater, yâknow that?â Gunwook looked at the girl with widened eyes.
â
All day Y/n heard whispers around her. Either bad or good ones, there was no inbetween.
âWasnât she talking shit about him like three days ago? Something about his pants.â
âYeah, and what about the time she called his sweater ugly? And her huge ass problem of always wanting to beat him at anything?â
âYeah, sheâs just a big fake. I hope he realizes that soon.â
âY/n, if I beat you to the cafeteria you have to buy me three chocolate bars from the store.â Gunwook spoke out as he sat down in the empty spot next to the girl. âWhat do I get if I beat you?â Y/n asked.
âYou get to borrow my awesome sweater you love.â Gunwook teased. âI might as well then just walk.â Y/n scoffed. âFine, then you decide what you want.â
The two were waiting for the bell to ring so they could start the bet.
As soon as it did, they sprinted out of the room, they made sure not to bump into anyone on the way out of the room or down the stairs.
Their laughs and giggles were so loud like it was out on the intercom. âYouâre more athletic than me, give me a break!â Y/n giggled as she grabbed onto his arm to drag him back and got the chance to move in front of him.
âWas that Park Gunwook and Jeon Y/n?â A classmate said as they saw the pair run past them. âI heard they were friends now, I didnât believe it. But I guess theyâre cool now.â Another one said.
âAs expected! I won.â Y/n said as she touched the glass doors of the cafeteria. âFine, you win.â Gunwook tried to catch his breath. âWhat do you want?â He put his arm around the girl and walked her towards the cafeteria line.
âHm, give me some time to think about it.â Y/n nodded her head. âHow did you guys not get in trouble for running? I jog in the hallways one time and I get detention.â Ricky said, cutting the people in front of him to get to the two. âBecause itâs almost the end of the year, teachers donât care.â Y/n smirked.
âHave you heard the whispers Y/n?â Ricky asked. âDuh. People are calling me fake. It doesnât bother me much. I know me and Gunwook are cool with each other so I donât really care.â She rolled her eyes. âYeah, these people need to get over it.â
âY/nâs just my biggest hater, I donât really mind. Itâs kind of cute, sheâs like obsessed with me.â Gunwook sneered. âI am not obsessed with you.â Y/n chuckled. âYou wish I was.â
â
Everyone started to get used to the fact that Y/n and Gunwook weâre friends now. The two did often still argue about test grades and stuff but it was nothing to the extreme. It was all jokes now.
Sometimes they even would do tutor sessions together and it went by smoothly. The two also had gotten more comfortable with each other, everyone else had noticed this as well.
It started with the little things, like Gunwook resting his arm on her shoulder, Gunwook leaning his head a little too close to Y/nâs shoulder, then giving hugs before saying bye, Gunwookâs teasing got âworseâ, he would tickle and throw her over his shoulders.
Y/n didnât mind, she actually quite liked her friendship with Gunwook now. Itâs cute and heartwarming especially when you consider their bad past.
The two hung out a lot, even when they didnât have anything to do they would just listen to Seventeen and talk or study in silence even. Thatâs how comfortable they were now, they could sit in silence and study with no ounce of discomfort in the air.
The two endearingly tease each other. They unconsciously flirt and it goes over both of their heads. Calling each other cute, ruffling each other's hair, squeezing oneâs cheek, and tickling each other.
People started to think they were a couple and not friends. It was hard to believe really, everyone at school was shocked to see how comfortable and touchy the two were with each other.
âY/n.â Gunwook groaned as he dramatically leaned into the girl sitting next to him. âWhat.â Y/n dragged out her word. âWhy did you give me your worst students ever?â He said with a pout. âThey arenât bad, theyâre just so in love with you that they canât focus.â She laughed out loud.
âNow, go, you have a shift and I have a session soon.â Y/n pushed the boy off of her. âFine, Iâll see you later.â Gunwook sighed and walked over to the counter.
After Y/n's session she fell asleep. She usually does but doesnât worry because Gunwook is around the corner.
Y/n was shaken awake. âGunwook? Is your shift over?â She mumbled as she slowly lifted her head up. âOhâSorry, do you need to sit here?â Y/n asked, suddenly standing up as she saw a man a few years older than her.
âSorry, miss. You were sleeping and something bad couldâve happened.â The man gently put his hand on her shoulder, caressing it. âHeh, yeah.â Y/n awkwardly laughed as she shifted around slightly. âUhmâthank you for waking meâmy boyfriend is almost here!â Y/n looked at her watch. She gently pushed the manâs hand away but he put it back on her, going up and down her arm, slowly.
She knew Gunwookâs shift was about to end and had really hoped he would be quick to get his things together.
âBaby!â Y/n shouted as Gunwook came from around the corner. He was shocked, but quickly understood the situation as he saw the uncomfortable expression on the girl's face.
âSorry for taking too long, how was your session?â Gunwook said as he pulled the girl into his arms and kissed her forehead. âIt was good! I accidentally fell asleep again.â Y/n said as she put one of her backpack straps on her shoulder and put her other arm around Gunwookâs.
The two walked out of the store still arm in arm.
âGod, that guy was such a creep.â Y/n scoffed. âHe tried to act like some savior, saying he woke me up because something bad couldâve happened, then he started caressing my arm.â Y/n got the shivers.
âPlease stop falling asleep after your sessions, especially in public places.â Gunwook expressed his concern. âI donât want anything bad happening to you.â Gunwook locked eyes with the girl.
âThank you, for helping me.â Y/n nodded and gave him a small smile.
âIâll always be there to help you.â
â
For the past couple weeks Y/n has started to feel different around Gunwook. Not a bad difference, just a difference she wasnât used toâŠ
She started to notice how long their hugs actually lasted, how long his hands lingered in her hair when heâd get it out of her face due to the wind, and how many hours the two actually spent together on a free day.
She liked all those things mentioned. She enjoyed spending time with Gunwook, she enjoyed his hugs, and she enjoyed his lingering touches when heâd tease her or play with her hair.
She also started to notice the swirly butterfly feeling that spread throughout her body around the boy.
She really didnât want to admit it but deep down she knew. She had started to take a liking for Park Gunwook, in the way where she wanted him to hold her in his arms for as long as he could.
âY/n-ah, stop staring so hard.â Hiyyih broke Y/nâs focus on the field. âWhat, I canât stare at him? Heâs the star player.â Y/n turned her head to look at the blonde. âWhatâs going on between you two?â Hiyyih asked.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean literally almost all of us can sense the odd tension between you and him.â Y/n sighed at that. âSoâyes Iâve been feeling a little odd around him. So what?â
âSo what? So what about fixing that odd tension? Something bad didnât happen, right?â Hiyyih asked with concern. âNo, nothing bad!â Y/n rushed to say. âOkay, listen. I think I might have feelings for Gunwook in more than a friend way.â Y/n confessed.
âFina-fucking-ly.â Hiyyih bursted out laughing. âWhy are you laughing so hard? What do you mean?â Y/n was confused and lost.
âYou're so oblivious. Gunwook has had such a huge crush on you for likeâever!â
âHow? Did he tell you guys something?â
âNot exactly. Dayeon told me how much he loved seeing your cute little pouty face you make when you get mad. Why do you think he teases you so much?â Hiyyih had a smug smile on her face. âWhat if he doesnât and thatâs just his personality?â
âJust take the chance.â
â
Y/n has started to observe Gunwookâs behavior around her. She was confused on how there could be a chance that Gunwook did like her like that. He was so normal and calm around the girl, there was no sign of shyness at all, so how could he see the girl in that way?
âGunwook,â Y/n said. Interrupting silence that was there. âYeah?â He lifted his head from his notebook.
The two were studying in Y/nâs room.
âI heard something about you, and I donât know if itâs true or not. I just wanted to ask.â Y/n said hesitantly. âWhat is it?â The boy asked. âDo you have a big fat crush on me?â Y/n said in a teasing tone to make it less embarrassing to ask.
âYou wish I did!â Gunwook jokes and started poking at her torso with his pen. âNo seriously though. I heard you tease me because you like my mad pouty face.â Y/n said seriously this time.
âYah! Did Dayeon rat me out to you?!â Gunwook panicked. âSo itâs true!?â Y/n laughed. âUghâI donâtâI donât even know!â Gunwook spit out. âWhat do you mean you donât know?â Y/n asked.
âI donât know if what I feel for you is THAT.â Gunwook emphasized on the âthatâ.
âKiss me then.â Y/n suggested, cringing at what she had just said. âOh my god, ew I canât believe you just said that.â Gunwook almost gagged. âWhat? Itâs just a kiss.â
âWhere is all this confidence coming from, oh my god.â Gunwookâs ears turned red. âItâs a win-win, we kiss and you figure out if you like me or not.â Y/n said.
âDo you just want to kiss me?â Gunwook asked, eyes slightly widened. âOh my god, a girl is suggesting you kiss her and you still havenât?â Y/n scoffed. âYouâre so clueless.â Y/n shook her head as she mumbled. âLetâs justâforget about this.â Y/n went back to her book.
â
Y/n had been even more odd and off around Park Gunwook ever since that situation between the two happened. She tried not to distance herself but it failed. She happened to take in two more students to tutor to fill in her time so she wonât have any to hang out with the boy.
âIâm sorry, Gunwook. I have to tutor after school.â Y/n said apologetically. âItâs Friday, you donât have any on Fridayâs.â Gunwook knew Y/nâs schedule in and out. âI took two more students in. I have one at four and another at five.â Y/n nodded her head.
âWhy would you do that? Didnât you give me half of your students so you can have more time?â
âI donât know. They were Danielleâs students but I know she is going back to Australia so I told her I can take them.â Danielle Marsh was another girl who helped tutor students.
âAre you planning to tutor students the whole summer too?â Gunwook jokes. âIf I have too.â Y/n sheepishly chuckled. âSeriously? You should drop all the sessions this summer.â Gunwook said.
âWhy?â Y/n asked. âIâve got nothing better to do.â Y/n said. âBecause weâre gonna be hanging out all summer, duh? And the whole crew as well.â
âWellâI actually have a soccer camp the first two weeks of summer.â Gunwook interrupted his own thoughts. âBut after that we can hang out all day everyday!â He said with excitement. âI donât want to take you away from hanging with your other friends. I heard you barely hang out with them anymore.â Y/n glanced down at the floor, not wanting to look Gunwook in the eyes.
âWhatâs up with you? Youâre being weird.â Gunwookâs eyebrows furrowed. âIâm not being weird, itâs the truth. What about your other friends?â
âThey donât really care, they have their own lives, theyâre busy doing their own things.â Gunwook was starting to get a little frustrated with the girl. âSeriously whatâs up with you.â He scoffed.
âNothingâs up.â Her shoulders shrug. âSomethingâs definitely up. Why wonât you tell me?â Gunwook gently shoved the girl's shoulder. âBecause itâs so stupid, youâll probably laugh at me and then walk away.â Y/n spat out and walked away in the direction of Hiyyihâs brotherâs car before the boy could get a chance to say anything else.
â
âDayeon, Y/n has been acting weird, have you noticed?â Gunwook asked the girl. âNo, sheâs normal around me. Why, is something up with you two?â Dayeon asked, looking up from her phone.
âI donât even know. Sheâs being weird around me, I donât know if I did something or if I said something.â
âDid anything happen before she started acting like that?â Dayeon asked. âJustâugh promise you wonât tell this to anyone.â Gunwook sighed. âPromise.â Dayeonâs face slightly scrunched up.
âA few weeks back Y/n asked me if I liked her in more than a friend way. I said I donât even know and then she suggested I kiss her. I just said some random shit because I didnât want to kiss her and turn all red. Then she said âA girl is suggesting you kiss her and you still havenât.â and said to forget about it. I listened to her and haven't thought about it.â
âOh my god! Youâre so pathetic, I canât believe you did that.â Dayeon let out a mixture of a scoff and a laugh. âI thought she was just fucking with me.â Gunwook said. âClearly she wasnât. She wants to kiss you bro. Clearly she likes you.â
âY/n is the type to shut down and give up when it comes to shit like this. Take the chance before she loses feelings. I heard this junior likes her, so get her before he does.â
â
Gunwook realized how distanced Y/n had been now that Dayeon had put that thought into his head. She had been getting awfully close to this junior she was tutoring. They had been hanging out on different occasions that did not in fact involve studying.
âY/n,â Gunwook called out to the girl in a whisper, who was currently tutoring the said junior in the library. âY/n, can I talk to you real quick?â He asked, Y/n looked a little annoyed at the boyâs interruption.
âWhat is it?â Y/n said in a frustrated tone as the boy pulled her behind a bookshelf. âNothing, I just wanted to talk to you.â Gunwook said with a cheesy smile. âGunwook, seriously? Iâm busy.â Y/n scoffed. âI just miss hanging and talking with you. Youâre spending all your time with that junior.â Gunwook scoffed and slightly pointed in the direction of the junior.
âAnd whatâs wrong with that?â
âNothingânothing is wrong with that. I just want to know what I did wrong and why you barely talk to me anymore.â
âYou didnât do anything wrong.â
âThen why are you being like this right now.â
âBecauseâfuck it.â Y/n mumbled the swears that came out of her mouth. âBecause, Gunwook I like you. More than a friend, and clearly you donât. I was just distancing myself so I can get over you.â Y/n finally confessed.
Gunwook was left speechless at that. âSee, you donât even know what to say.â Y/n huffed and walked away but was stopped at the grip of a hand holding her back.
âY/n, you didnât even get to say anything.â Gunwook sighed. âI like you, I have for likeâever honestly. I only realized it just a couple weeks ago.â
âAre you just messing with me?â
âNo, why would I? I do like you Y/n. Iâm not messing with you, this is not a joke at all. I like to spend time with you, I like when you try and argue with me all the time, even when itâs unnecessary and pointless I still argue back because of that fucking face you make. Youâre like the death of me!â Gunwook shouted a little too loud, getting a couple looks.
âI like the way you want to achieve things that arenât even beneficial to youâlike who the hell needs to be declared the best pancake maker? No one but you, you have that same competitive fire as me, I thought itâd be hell if I met someone exactly like me but I love to talk and challenge you to anything.â
âEveryone might hate when we argue because itâs annoying and a distraction but I love it, because of that stupid pout you put on.â
Y/n was silent. She didnât know what to say, she did not expect Gunwook to be so heartfelt to her. Her head slightly dropped down to look at the floor, scared sheâd start crying if she looked him in the eyes.
âAnd Iâm so mad that I didnât kiss you that day. I was so embarrassed that Iâd start to stutter and become all red because of a little kiss.â Gunwookâs hands palmed each side of her cheek so the girl could lock eyes with him.
âIf I canâIf youâll let me. Can I kiss you?â Gunwook asked boldly, not as shy as he was the day Y/n asked him too. Y/n slowly nodded her head as a few tears rolled down her eyes.
The kiss was short but sweet. Their hearts were racing so fast it could almost malfunction.
âI canât believe Iâm crying in the library.â Y/n said, embarrassed as her head slightly went down.
âItâs normal to cry.â Gunwook wiped the girl's tears with the pad of his thumbs. âDoes this mean weâre dating now?â Gunwook said, muffed into the girls hair as they were hugging.
âYeah, I honestly donât do this dating shit so I think so.â Y/n said nonchalantly which made Gunwook laugh. âOkayâJeon Y/n, will you be my girlfriend?â Gunwook said as he pulled himself away from the girl to get a good look at her.
âIf I say yes that means you have to admit that Iâm better academically than you.â
âYou are academically better than me, Jeon Y/n.â
âThen, yes.â Y/n stood on her tippy toes and pecked the boy's cheek.
â
The two decided to keep their relationship hidden from everyone so they could just enjoy each other's time and company without any whispers, rumors, or teasing.
It was going really smoothly. They two had unexpectedly not been awkward about it. They had to make up random excuses on why they couldnât hang out because they two had scheduled meet upâs and dates.
The only person that did know about the two was Hayun. Hayun didnât even go to the same school as the two so they didnât mind telling her.
Gunwook and Hayun got along well and Y/n really liked that. She liked that Hayun liked Gunwook and Gunwook liked Hayun. The two would sometimes gang up on Y/n, she didnât like that but she liked that the two had gotten close and have a good relationship of their own. After all, her little sister and her boyfriend are probably the people she adores the most in life.
It was hard for her to hide it from Hiyyih, especially since thatâs her best friend and she can notice when something is different. She noticed how Y/n had been much happier and was glowing with positivity.
Gunwook knew how hard that mustâve been for her so he agreed to not tell Gyuvin or Dayeon.
Either way the friends would figure out the truth themselves. Or they would catch them secretly kissing one day.
And that they did! They were not that surprised, they had started suspecting it when the two were not available at the same time.
The teasing lasted for about three weeks.
âI almost forgot they were together.â Gyuvin audibly gagged at the sight of the two sitting at a booth with their hands on each other. âGet used to it.â Gunwook threw a fry at his friend as he sat down next to Dayeon and Hiyyih who were squeezed into the seats in front of them.
âI think itâs kind of cute. How they used to despise and hate each other but now theyâre all lovey dovey with each other.â Hiyyih said. âLovey dovey? When Gunwook went to the bathroom she literally called his shirt ugly.â Dayeon said with a tone of disbelief.
âWhatâyou said I looked cute today.â Gunwook gasped and looked at the girl on the side of him. âBecause you are cute! The shirt just isnât.â Y/n smiled cheekily.
âYouâre such a hater. You love to hate me.â

months ago, you lost your mother to a car accident. you swore that you could never move on, even the slightest moves and gestures people gave you reminded you of your mother. She was one of the most important figures in your life, and losing her is like losing the other half of your life.Â
you had slightly recovered from the grief, but it seems like the feeling came back to disturb you again, hitting you harder than ever. you were sitting on the chair in front of your study table, trying to study a chapter of chemistry. your eyes are focused on the book in front of you as you try to memorize the important points of the subtopic.
you are already pages in and everything's going fine, so far. but as you were about to reach your hand to the book to turn to the following two pages, your hand started to shake uncontrollably. "what is this�" you asked yourself, clueless about what was happening.
eventually, after, your other hand starts to shake. you brought both your hands in front of you, slowly turning them to show your palms. you remembered to take deep breaths, so you slowly inhaled the air around you.Â
you repeated the process but it didn't seem to help. waves of panic wash over your brain and body, making it worse. you screamed as you couldn't handle the waves continuing to crash you over.Â
you fell from your chair, eyes closed as you slowly feel your tears flowing down from your eyes. you heard the door open, but you were too busy thinking about the feelings you were experiencing. âis everything alright? i heard you screaming just now.â the voice said. you were unable to say a word as you were too focused on the crashing waves of fear.
after a few moments, you can finally talk but you felt your voice shaking. âi'm fineâŠ.just a little anxious about something,â you said. âwhat was that something you were mentioning?â it continued. before you answered its question, you opened your eyes and found out that you were sitting beside gunwook. you looked into his eyes with a very weak stare. âthe memories of my late mother came back to me. and the waves of panic suddenly washed through my veins, i couldnât control it,â you said. gunwook took your hand and held it, caressing soothing circles on the back of your hand.
âyouâll be fine, y/n. it wonât last long and youâll be fine sooner enough,â he said, whispering in a calm tone. he knows how to handle these kinds of situations since he had encountered similar ones where he had to handle someone who's in the same place as yours. he left you for a while to grab something, you then lay yourself down on the floor, closing your eyes as you try to calm yourself down.
gunwook then came back with a bottle of water in his hand. âyou might need this,â he said, opening the cap of the bottle. he then slightly lifted your chin and you allowed yourself to let the water flow into your throat. it felt a little refreshing and little do you know youâre slowly recovering from your panic attack.Â
he stayed by your side for a few hours before he lets you go back to your usual study session. however, you decided to let the study session on hold to let yourself get some rest and recover. you went to bed and closed your eyes before the sleepiness took over you. glad to say, you were pretty much recovered the next morning you woke up.Â

ever since you started dating gunwook you had found yourself getting close with the other members; it was inevitable really, always visiting gunwook at practice and the dorms meant you were also always visiting them. surprisingly you actually got along really well with everyone, despite your fear that they wouldn't like you.
you had especially gotten to be on good terms with gunwook's best friend, gyuvin. he was always fun to be around and the three of you found it easy to hang out together without anything being weird. it was nice. after years of longing for a close group of friends, you finally had one, and you had gunwook; it didn't get much better than that.
today was a day off for the boys, a rare occasion that you knew you had to take advantage of. according to gunwook he had the dorm all to himself, almost. gyuvin was there too, both deciding to stay in on the free day instead of going shopping or out with friends like the others. so in an attempt to be nice, you stopped at the store to grab them some snacks for all their hard work lately.
you grabbed a few snacks, one you had seen gyuvin eating with gunwook once, a safe option you'd like to think, as well as some drinks and gunwook's absolute favorite snack.
soon enough you found yourself knocking on the door to their dorm, hearing some muffled shuffling before being greeted with gyuvin's smile. "oh gunwook is just in the shower, c'mon in." he opened the door, gesturing you into the kitchen as he locked the door behind you.
"i brought treats!" you enthused, holding the convenience store bag in your hand before reaching in to grab the snacks you got for gyuvin.
the two of you chatted for a bit, gyuvin even sharing his snack with you to show his gratitude until gunwook made an entrance. his hair was still damp and sticking to his forehead, partnered with the glasses resting on his nose. "hi love," he came up behind you to drape his arms over your shoulders. you relaxed into his touch despite the drips of cold water coming off of his hair, giving him a similar greeting before standing up, not noticing the way his eyes grazed over you and gyuvin in front of him.
"you two go have fun, i have to catch up on a show." gyuvin smiled, heading off to his bedroom with his drink, opting to leave his snack on the counter. now that you were alone you couldn't help but notice the expression plastered across gunwook's face. "what's wrong wook?" you questioned, bringing your hand up to brush a damp strand of hair from his eyes.
"it's nothing," he mumbled, barely audible through the pout that he displayed as his arms crossed in front of him.
gunwook was stubborn, this wasn't news to you, but he also knew you weren't stupid, so you ran over anything that could've made him upset today. you quickly scanned the room, eyes landing on the snacks and the empty seat that once sat gyuvin a few minutes ago. bingo.
"wook," you chuckled, "don't tell me you're jealous."
"you got him snacks," he pouted again, unable to control his tone as he stood there staring at you. you could only laugh for a moment as you picked up the bag on the floor, "i got you snacks too, silly." you pulled out a bag of home run balls and a carton of chocolate milk for the boy sulking in front of you before holding it out to him.
he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face, "those are my favorites, how'd you know?"
"i pay attention gunwook," you placed the snacks down on the table as you gestured for him to sit with you. "did you really think i'd get gyuvin snacks and not you?" he shrunk into himself at the statement; yeah, it seemed a little weird that you'd do that, but he didn't always prove to be the smartest when it came to the person he loved.
he shook his head, mumbling a "no" under his breath as he shyly opened the chocolate milk carton. "thank you." his voice was a little louder this time.
"no need to thank me," you ruffled his hair, letting out a small chuckle at the endearing boy in front of you, "you're cute when you're jealous by the way."
the blush that dusted across his cheeks didn't go unnoticed by you, and you couldn't help but wonder how you got so lucky to have such a cute boy in your life.
"listen it's not my fault," he sighed, taking another sip of his drink, "you just," he paused for a moment, "you make it hard to think straight."
now it was your turn to blush, a little flustered at the innocent confession from the boy sitting beside you. you took a few moments to compose yourself before responding, "well i'm honored," a slight questioning tone in your voice, but genuine nonetheless.
a shy smile spread across his lips as he grabbed your hand with his free hand, the other holding the snacks and his drink, "well c'mon," he started, pulling you off towards his room, "you promised me you'd play games with me."
and that's how your afternoon went; back and forth bickering as you competed in various games. as much as you loved your boyfriend, you'd be damned if you went easy on him, so that incident wouldn't be the last time you saw pouty gunwook before the day was over.

⹠note: i know this is a really cliché soulmate trope, but i have a love for it that i can't quite explain. i'm hoping this won't be the last you see of soulmate!zb1, so be on the lookout in the future for more from me! <3
i.
soulmates were a weird concept to you from the moment you learned about them. wveryone around you - friends, family, coworkers - have always been excited to find the people theyâre meant to be with for the rest of their lives. you never understood the hype, much less how the actuality of it all was ever achievable in the first place. everyone whose timer you witnessed ticking down almost always met their death sentence, so you had every right to be apprehensive about whether it truly worked or if you've been fed lies for your entire life.
everyone was born with a timer on their left wrist with chunky black squares and beaming red digits that never lit up until you reached a certain age in your life. yours started on your sixteenth birthday with the fresh set of bold letters reading 1,095 days. that was exactly three years, no more, no less. it was a rare occurrence someone would ever be branded with the same date as their birthday, but the universe just seemed to hate you more and more for not believing itâs incredibly stupid logic. your nineteenth birthday was either going to be magical or tragic for those around you, but you already knew everything was going to take a turn for a worse, so why stress about it?
that day was now exactly a week away and your parents and group of friends were stressed out more than ever because they werenât sure if they should plan a party or a funeral. you told them all not to worry about it, that you didnât care, but they never seemed to listen. which was fine, you were used to people losing their minds over your slowly deteriorating time, but you just wished that once in a while someone would pay attention to how you felt.Â
especially now, where your two idiot best friends were frantically pacing the living room in your shared apartment with their thoughts spewing directly from their mouths out into the open. they had absolutely no filter, so talks about a gruesome death and an unforgettable birthday bash were the main topics.
âguys, seriously, itâs fine. i really donât want you to be in a constant state of distress because iâm going to die before you do,â you said.
yujin stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with bewilderment as he gasped, ây/n, if you say anything like that one more time iâm going to kick you.â
you merely shrugged, âiâm just speaking the truth.â
gyuvin, who had just thrown himself onto the plush loveseat, sighed loudly but didnât say a word. you knew that every time you talked about this you made them upset, and tension was even higher now that the numbers on your arm had a seven on them. you just wished they would accept your fate and move on, because really, you didnât think it was a big deal.Â
âcome on, please donât be upset with me,â your voice grew soft at the sight of their somber faces and your own realization that this was having more of an effect on them than you initially thought, âif i am going to die, letâs make this last week one of the best weâve had in our lives, okay?â
yujin and gyuvin shared a look before they finally nodded and you were engulfed in a bone crushing hug. it felt good to feel their arms around you, because at the end of the day, you needed them more than anyone else in the world. you just hoped that they would be able to move on past it all and continue to live for you. after all, they adorned a hefty amount more numbers than you did, so they still had a while.Â
âwe love you, y/n, and we get mad at you because we care so much,â gyuvin whispered, so it felt like it was only the three of you in the whole universe, ânow are you going to let us plan a party or not?â
âplease let us plan a party!â yujin exclaimed.
you huffed in mock annoyance, âfine, but you have to promise me you wonât go too crazy. i donât want you guys to get your hopes up and the outcome be worse than you expect.â
âdeal.â
three days after your compromise with your friends, you were sat at your favorite restaurant, where they wanted to ask your opinion on some of the party decorations. however, the initial reason was soon deflated due to you recounting a dream you had. to say they were surprised was an understatement.
"you what?â gyuvin exclaimed, causing you to cringe back into your spot of the booth. he and yujin shared almost the same expression the moment you began recounting the news to them.
slowly, you replied, âi told you, i had a dream about someone i donât know. it was so weird though, because i couldnât see their face whatsoever.â
and it was true. the past two nights youâd had the same exact dream. the first time, things were foggy and clouded, making it to where you could only hear his voice. however, the second night, you could make out a bright smile and glittery brown eyes, but nothing more. you met your friendsâ gazes, shrugging your shoulders, âitâs really not that big of a deal. i donât know why you guys are so surprised about it.â
âyou are such a dumbass,â yujin replied as he buried his face in his hands, his voice muffled as he spoke the next time, âhave you not listened to a single thing we were taught about the timers in school?â
âno! iâve always slept, you should know that. i sat next to you during the lectures.â
gyuvin looked as if he were about to slam his head into the wall next to him, âitâs literally common sense to know that when you have a dream about someone you donât know when your timer is almost up that itâs your soulmate.â
you rolled your eyes, shoving rice from the plate in front of you into your mouth to avoid saying anything that could upset them. no matter what anyone said, you just couldnât even begin to think how itâs logical to believe the stuff school fed you, especially when it came to those numbers. you were absolutely not going to become brainwashed into thinking that a meager dream could have any significant correlation with your timer.
âi think you guys are just trying to get into my head to make me believe these stupid things are actually worth my time,â you laughed.
âit sounds to me like youâre trying to tell yourself not to actually take what we say into consideration,â gyuvin stated matter-of-factly, spooning a mouthful of the stew heâd ordered into his mouth, with an eyebrow quirked up in question. yujin suppressed a smirk next to him.
you fell silent at his words. it wasnât because you believed him, because you certainly did not, but you were done talking about it. you made a promise to yourself not to utter a single word about your dream around either of your best friends - you knew they would do this - but your tongue had different plans for you and now the situation was a mess. their accusing glances, wide grins, and shared looks were enough to give it away.
you threw enough cash to pay for your meal on the table and scooted out of the booth, your lips pressed into a thin line, âiâll see you guys back at the apartment.â
ây/n, wait!â yujin called after you, his voice faltering slightly, âwe didnât mean to upset you!â
âjust let them go, yujin, all we ever do is make them mad anymore. maybe itâs best to have some time apart.â
gyuvinâs words sent a pang of guilt and sadness to your chest, and it took everything you had not to choke on a sob right then and there. it took a lot for him to say something that could be hurtful and knowing you were the one that caused it made you want to scream until your voice went hoarse. however, you refused to turn back and apologize, because you werenât the only one in the wrong. they were just as much at fault as you were.Â
soon, you found yourself sat on a swing in the park a few blocks from your apartment complex, tears staining your cheeks and your heart hurting. what if your friends were right and you were just blowing the entire soulmate thing way out of proportion? was everyone else youâd seen meet their death just the less fortunate? questions flooded your mind and had no intention of stopping any time soon. you felt dizzy from your brain taking on so much at once and you were beyond grateful for the seat below your body that kept you steady.Â
you never thought that you would consider having a soulmate as a possibility, but here you were, wallowing in self-pity and hatred for yourself for causing everyone around you grief just because you couldnât seem to see the logic until four days before your timer ended. sighing, you aggressively wiped away the remaining tears on your skin and rose from your spot. it was about time you started to head back to your apartment.Â
an apology was long overdue anyway.
ii.
thin fog swirled around your ankles as you walked toward the shadowy figure just in your line of vision. the soft pink glow of the sky reflected in his eyes - which were as sparkly and happy as ever - and glimmered beautifully in his hair. he seemed far beyond your grasp, and just when you thought you were getting closer to him, he was even further back than before.
what originally started out as a walk became a light jog in a desperate attempt to reach him. you swore for a moment you could catch a glimpse of one of his features youâd previously been unable to see before, but it was gone just as you were about to reach him. you were now broken out into a sprint, your legs burning and heart racing.
you needed to see him.Â
but, he just kept getting further and further away, his gaze haunting you with unanswered questions and a plethora of what ifâs. you refused to give up. you pushed your legs harder, extending them to your absolute best ability to cover more distance between you and his dark presence. with your arm stretched out, you called, âwait, please!â
the boy finally stopped - though it was unclear if it was because of your desperation or exhausted state - and held his hand out for you to take. you forced your legs to a stop, your eyes frantically searching the features visible to you to try and cling on to what little you were offered. the same two features as before; his hair and his eyes.Â
for a fleeting moment, you saw something flicker across the the lower part of his face, just beneath his nose. However, just like that, it was gone, but you knew exactly what it was.
a gummy smile.
iii.
it was finally your birthday, and the day that you would be meeting whatever fate you had in store. you had woken up at ten oâclock, thankfully, but now it was five oâclock and you still had six hours and twenty minutes left on your timer, so anything was possible. you were a lot more nervous than you expected, but since youâd spent your entire life resenting this day, it wasnât as overbearing as you imagined it would be.Â
the moment you entered into the kitchen, yujin and gyuvin were showering you in hugs and loads of âhappy birthday, y/nâs but the troubled looks in their eyes were hard to miss. you could have sworn you saw a tear slip onto yujinâs cheek and that gyuvinâs breathing was slightly uneven, but you decided not to comment on it. not on this day. you didnât think you could live with yourself if you sparked an argument on what could be some of the last moments you had with them.
instead, you hugged them both for a good five minutes, relishing in the feeling of security and comfort their grips held. the nagging in the back of your mind told you to enjoy as much of their company as you could in those remaining thirteen hours, because you very well could never get it again. and neither could they. pushing the thoughts back, you gladly dug into the dinner the pair made for you and watched the drama reruns that were playing on the television in the living room. it was a favorite among the three of you, so it only felt right to turn it on and delve into the world of your favorite characters.
about an hour later, your friends ordered you to stay in the apartment and get ready for your party while they went and set up, which was code for âhey, we donât want some freak accident to happen before your timer is up so just stay here where we know youâre safe,â but you certainly werenât complaining. as of right now, the safer, the better.
once left alone until they were to come to pick you up, you dropped to your knees in the middle of the kitchen and sobbed. this entire situation was all too real, and you could feel the steady grip you once had on being sure you were ready to accept your death starting to slip through your fingertips. you had no right to be upset, this was the day you were waiting for your whole life just so you could prove to everyone that you were right.
but you were just so scared.
there were so many what ifâs, so many unknown factors of what the rest of your evening had in store. you werenât sure you were ready to find out, but your timer was dead set on getting you to that point. the more you looked at the crimson numbers, the more your belly twisted and turned. you hoped that if you were to die, it was quick and painless, and if you were to meet your soulmate, you wouldn't be the most awkward person in the world.
you sat on the cold tile with silent tears flowing down your cheeks for what felt like an eternity, but only ended up being twenty minutes before you finally pulled yourself together and forced your legs to take you into your bedroom so you could get dressed. you had less than a couple hours before yujin and gyuvin would be back, and if you didnât look collected and put together, all hell would break loose. you chuckled at the thought while you threaded your legs through your skinny jeans and put your top on.Â
by the time your best friends had come back to get you, you were going stir crazy penned up inside of the apartment, so you were glad to finally be going somewhere. the drive there was full of music blasting and lots of laughs, but the sadness was still heavy in the air. you couldnât blame them, though, because you definitely felt the same way.Â
once at the venue, you couldnât help but gasp at the sight. everything was outside, fairy lights casting a warm glow across the otherwise dark section of the area you were in. a bonfire was already raging in the middle of it all. people circled around it with drinks in their hands and smiles stretching across their faces. you couldnât believe how many people actually came or how much yujin and gyuvin had outdone themselves with the entire setup.Â
âthis is so beautiful, guys, thank you,â was the only thing you could manage to exert from your lungs before you were pulling them both into a tight hug, suppressing the fresh tears that threatened to spill over at the snap of a finger.
gyuvin laughed softly, âanything for you.â
âwe love you, you know that, right?â yujin inquired, pulling back slightly so he could meet his gaze with yours, âso much.â
âi love you guys too.â
your moment only lingered for a few moments after that, because next thing you knew, people were bounding over to you and wishing you a happy birthday. hao and hanbin, who you hung out with occasionally in high school. taerae from the time you dared to sneak out of your parentsâ house just to go on a midnight mcdonaldâs run with him. matthew and ricky, your old roommates before you decided to move in with yujin and gyuvin. many of old classmates and even a few people you didnât know. all for you.
you could feel yourself gaining control over your nerves and body once more as you conversed with everyone. all of the weighted thoughts were nearly forgotten about. that is, until you decided to steal a glance at the remaining time left on your wrist. you could feel your chest tighten and your breath hitch in your throat.
three minutes.
that was it. three meager minutes until you either died or met the person you were supposed to be with for the rest of your life. you swallowed harshly. it was best you didnât mention anything and cause everyone to go into a state of panic, so instead you practically glued your arm to your side and refused to look at the time anymore. whatever was going to happen was left in the hands of fate now.
you took a drink from the cup in your hand, craving for a distraction from the anxiety that was caused from looking at your timer. a light tap on your shoulder was able to be felt and you turned to find yujin, who was smiling widely, âi wanted you to meet my friend, gunwook, who i told you was studying abroad! i figured i would invite him to the party since he was back in town.â
your gaze shifted to the boy that was stood next to yujin. the moment your eyes met with his, a spark was lit and it completely engulfed you from the inside out. the world around you faded, leaving you with only him. his dark brown hair that was illuminated by the light of the bonfire, his honey brown eyes the sparkled like the stars that blanketed the sky, but most importantly - his gummy smile.
he felt the same. you could easily tell by the way his face contorted to an expression that was nothing but pure joy. almost instantly, he pulled you into his arms, burying his face into the crook of your neck, breathing in your scent. you melted into him, basking in the warmth that he radiated and the feeling of security that you felt in his hold. softly, he whispered, âiâve been waiting for the day i could finally hold you.â
âiâve been waiting for the day i could put a face to all of the features i saw in my dreams,â you replied, entirely unable to suppress the grin that broke out onto your lips.
you pulled away from his grasp, flipping his wrist, as well as your own, over to bear the thick zeros that now adorned your wristsand were lit up a bright green. this was it, you finally met your fate, and you were so glad to know that it was with the captivating boy who visited you in your dreams.Â
gunwook cupped your cheek, examining your face, taking in every inch, every detail that he could. leaning forward, he was just barely apart from the shell of your ear, lips brushing your skin as he spoke words to you that you wanted to hear over and over again for the rest of your life.
âif i had to search the universe to find you again, i would in a heartbeat.â
