what the hell is sunwoo got himself into?
he’s currently getting ready for his game, nothing special, just another soccer game. but this time, he invited changmin to watch him. making it a special game, as he wanted to impress changmin.
“what’s got our sun bothered?” dahyun, his older sister asked while handing him his soccer uniform.
“i invited changmin to my game.”
“oh my, you two really clicked that night, huh?” she teased. it’s been two weeks since they first met. after exchanging phone numbers, they have been texting and video calling nonstop.
“i’m sure you’ll do well. you’re the star player!” dahyun adds.
“what happened here? and why do you need a pep talk?” younghoon enters his room.
“sunwoo got himself a boyfriend.”
“noona!” sunwoo whined.
“ooooh. so you’re not denying it? who’s the lucky guy?” and there goes sunwoo’s older siblings teasing him every chance they get.
“chaeyoung’s brother.”
“changmin?! i never thought they would click. but anyways… you’ll do great! try not to think about it much.”
“he’s not my boyfriend. just a friend.”
“i don’t recall you being nervous because you invited eric to a game.” younghoon teases.
sunwoo glares at them. they were right. changmin isn’t just a friend. he’s interested in him, romantically.
“do you want me to go with you?” dahyun offers.
“yes please. if i embarrass myself later, i need a drink.”
“come on, don’t be so pessimistic. you’ll do well. betting my life on it.” younghoon reassures.
dahyun ends up driving sunwoo to his game. he is far too nervous to drive for himself. he really wants to impress changmin.
they arrived quickly at the field, sunwoo’s nervousness doesn’t seem to go away, especially when the first thing he saw was changmin getting off his car.
“sunwoo!” changmin calls out.
“hey!” sunwoo runs to give him a hug.
but changmin wasn’t alone, he was with someone.
“this is chanhee, by the way. hi dahyun!” changmin greets.
“hey.” dahyun shyly greets.
sunwoo smirks, he definitely knows the reason why his older sister is shy.
“i got front row seats for you two. i’ll sulk if you cheer for anybody but me.” sunwoo pouts.
“why would i cheer for others if you’re the best player? i’ll cheer the loudest!”
oh god. that made sunwoo’s heart jump. changmin’s cheers will definitely give him a motivation boost.
“just friends , huh?” dahyun whispers.
sunwoo rolls his eyes and proceeds to enter the back door to get ready for the game. some of his teammates are already here.
“well there’s our star player!” sangyeon, their coach, greets.
“you’re acting like this is some championship.”
“don’t think i didn’t see you invite a special someone in the first row. that’s a first.”
“ooooh! someone’s motivated!” jacob, his teammate, teases.
“don’t act so innocent, hyung! acting like kevin hyung isn’t always first row in our games.” sunwoo teased back.
“first time i saw you get someone a ticket for the first row that isn’t your sibling. he must be special. i’m sure you want to impress him.”
“are you really my coach or my older brother?”
“could be both. our team will do well!”
damn right they will. sunwoo won’t let changmin be disappointed.
and so the game begun, as usual sunwoo was their best player. scoring every goal. he kept glancing to changmin’s area, he could see that he was really cheering for him. that gave him a confidence boost, so he played his best.
the moment they were announced as the winner, he signaled for changmin to wait for him because he’s going to take a shower first. he was definitely not going to hug him all sweaty.
“you’re the best player!” changmin said running to him.
“of course, a pretty guy was cheering for me.” sunwoo flirts.
“i’ll carry your bag. i’ll treat you to lunch! you must be starving.”
“you’re so sweet. where’s chanhee and noona?”
“they left to go to… uhm. oh shit, i don’t know. they just excuse themselves and went.”
“i see. they’re giving us alone time.”
“not complaining. what do you want to eat?” changmin says while intertwining their fingers together, a habit that sunwoo didn’t mind.
“you decide. i’ll eat anything.”
“even my cooking?”
“well of course! i like that even more!” sunwoo was excited, was changmin going to cook for him?
“i’m just teasing you, i can not cook even if my life depended on it. i’ll treat you to my favorite ramen place.”
it was the first time sunwoo has been to changmin’s car, his car was decorated with a few cute plushies. it reeked of changmin’s perfume, but sunwoo isn’t complaining.
“sorry if it’s messy, i don’t really drive people around besides my sister.”
“messy? it’s cute!”
“this one is named kiki.” changmin pointed at a plushie.
“it’s cute like the owner.”
changmin smiled and started driving to the ramen place. sunwoo is going to be the first one that he will bring there. that ramen place was his safe place, but he’s happy to share it with sunwoo.
“the ramen place is just near. we could actually walk to it but i know you’re tired.”
“me? oh no, i’m not tired!”
“you just played a whole soccer game, that’s tiring.”
“i’m never tired when i’m with you.”
“that’s gay.”
“only for you, my dear changmin.”
they both laugh at sunwoo’s antics.
“we are here. you can leave your bag there.”
when they exited the car, sunwoo looked at changmin. he’s absolutely beautiful.
“why? do i have something on my face?” changmin asked, noticing sunwoo was looking at him.
“you’re pretty.”
“are you trying to get into my pants, mr. kim sunwoo?” changmin smirks.
sunwoo coughs, he did not expect that response.
“just kidding. let’s go?” changmin offers his hand, sunwoo gladly intertwines their fingers together.
“my my changmin! that’s a first!” a tall handsome guy greeted.
“oh shush. sunwoo, meet hyunjun. he’s the owner and my friend.”
“oh hey.” sunwoo greets. hyunjun was gorgeous too. tall and gorgeous, he wonders if he and changmin are just friends.
“hi! the vip area is all yours as usual.” hyunjun says and points to the private door.
“thanks!” changmin smiles at him.
sunwoo felt a pang in his chest. what the hell was this feeling? it was a bitter and ugly feeling.
“hey… you okay?” changmin asked. sunwoo didn’t realize that he zoned out.
“oh yes! just admiring the interior!” he lies.
“oh yeah! i helped hyunjun design this back then. we go way back. they already know what my order is.”
there goes the pang feeling again. sunwoo wonders yet again if they are really just friends.
“ahh.. cool. he’s handsome.”
“yeah he is. hyunjun attracts a lot of people to our university.”
“i see… how close are you guys?”
changmin noticed something with the way sunwoo talked. he knew exactly what was wrong.
“why are you asking? are you jealous ?” changmin smirks.
“me? jealous? no!”
“awe, my sun is jealous. don’t worry, i only have my eyes on you.”
sunwoo was flustered. he did not know how changmin knew that he was a bit jealous.
“i am not!”
“oh come on. you’re cute when you’re jealous. come here.”
sunwoo leaned in closer, all though he was a bit confused, he trusted changmin.
changmin placed a quick peck kiss on sunwoo’s nose.
“i only have my eyes on you, baby. don’t worry.”
