Chapter Text
Seonghyeon loves his school. Others would think he finds comfort in waking up everyday making himself ready to see these people. That’s why he probably loves his school.
But he loves his school for another reason..
He met his boyfriend through it.
You know how girls feel like while having school crushes? That’s exactly how Seonghyeon felt when he was first crushing on Keonho.
He squealed a little every time Keonho walked past him while holding eye contact. Or when he yapped to Martin every day about how handsome his crush was.
at first it was supposed to be small, but it turned out bigger then imagined.
Seonghyeon remembers the exact day when he realised that he was fully in love with the most popular guy of the school.
5th of May.
It wasn’t a big realization, it came slow and small.
he was watching Keonho on the soccer field who was playing with his friends, something he does every day after school.
the reason why Seonghyeon was sitting at the ground watching the boy play soccer was because his best friend Martin forced him to.
and also because martin’s love juhoon was Keonho’s friend and also was playing.
Seonghyeon had a Red Bull in his hand, coconut flavored. A classic.
Martin was flirting with his boyfriend sending him hearts.
ew.
His attention drifted back to the boy who he actually was there for. He watched Keonho’s every step. Of how his tongue was out when he concentrated on the ball, or on how his hands were always on his hips when he waited for the ball to get passed to him.
Seonghyeon found it adorable.
The sun was slowly starting to set, and they were all making themselves ready to walk home together.
A small boy came from behind and poked Keonho on the waist. Keonho turned around, looked down and saw the little boy standing there with a ball in his hand.
“Excuse me sir, can you please play one game with me?” The little boy asked while a small pout formed on his lips.
keonho smiled and crouched down to meet the boys height, “Bet” he said.
The moment Seonghyeon saw Keonho laughing while playing with the little boy, he realized he loved him and wanted a future like this with him.
——
And as you may guess, after months of hinting, flirting, sending signs and acting like dumb idiots. Seonghyeon had the guts to confess, and he did.
Here he was, together with the popular guy in the school.
You think that’s the end? No no no.
Seonghyeon trusts Keonho so much, that he knows the boy would never do anything to hurt him: but yk.. Seonghyeon is in love, and being in love means feeling all kind of emotions. Including- Jealousy.
He didn’t notice at first. Or he didn’t care.
He didn’t care when Keonho talked to other guys or girls. He didn’t care when Keonho spend to much time outside with his friends. He didn’t care when Keonho didn’t text him good morning every day. He knew he could trust him.
But he slowly started caring. Especially after Keonho was paired for a school project with the popular girl of the school. Ian.
don’t get him wrong. He doesn’t have something against the girl. But it does bother him when she gets a little to close to his boyfriend.. I mean who wouldn’t be bothered?
Seonghyeon wouldn’t call himself the insecure type, no. He’s quite confident, or at least he tries to be.
But being human, he also has his lows. And his looks are one of it.
back then he never cared. He could go outside looking like a junkie and he would give zero fucks, but the older you get, the more you try to cherish your looks.
and it’s not easy to not worry when Ian, who won the competition of the schools IT-GIRL, suddenly shows interest in the popular handsome guy, Ahn Keonho.

It’s a normal Tuesday morning.
You know.. pens falling to the floors, books being opened, airplane papers flying across the classroom when the teacher isn’t watching.
Seonghyeon had history as his first subject, which he hated. So he ranted to Martin about how Keonho was walking to his class with Ian. Which Martin, the sweetie he is, listened to.
”And you know what, they might as well get together. Maybe I’m the problem standing in the way”, Seonghyeon, according to Martin sounded ridiculous.
Martin internally face palmed himself, “Hyeon, that makes no actual sense” he took a quick glance at the boy who’s full attention was on him, “why would he date you and then be interested in Ian?” he asked.
Seonghyeon exhaled ”I don’t know, tin, my head is gonna explode”.
The older looked at the boy and saw how his eyes were getting glossy. He knew that seonghyeon had many things going on right now, but he also knew that Keonho would never think of Ian like that.
because keonho looked at seonghyeon like he was the only thing that mattered in his world, so it just didn’t match up.
Seonghyeon’s head was on the table now, trying not to cry.
and Mr. Yang? He kept on talking about something called the Second World War.
