I cant stand 'summer'

As summer rolls in, i can already feel the heat, and not just from the sun. It's ..him. That damn Bangchan. Every year, the weather changes, but he stays the same—loud, impossible to ignore, wearing that stupid revealing tank top like he owns the place.

I don't like summer. It's chaotic, and i'd rather hide in the library. But of course, summer means more of.. him. i'm going to make sure he knows i'm here.

Tomorrow, Seungmin, Hyunjin, Han and I are supposed to go out together, Honestly I'm not really looking forward to it. They're my friends, sure but things have been.. weird lately. Hyunjin is already talking shopping for new clothes, Seungmin is excited about who knows what, and Han just wants to make sure we all have fun, Its fine, i guess. I could use a distraction from everything else—like the upcoming trip to the mall—alone! and i have to go today since i've already wore everything in my closet, so i have to go shopping for some new cargos and baggy shirts.

I hate shopping though, i dont even know what to buy or even look at— i just want to get it over with. But i know what's waiting for me. The mall. Crowded, noisy, hot.  And, more importantly— familiar faces— since it's so close to our high school, some people even sleep there?..  fucking insane!

There's a chance i might run into them—Bangchan and his group. The big 4, they call themselves. Bangchan, of course, leading the charge with Felix, Jeongin and Changbin right behind him. it's not like I care.. but it's so hard to ignore yknow? when they seem to be everywhere. And i swear, if i see Bangchan there, i'll—

Nah, i'm clearly overthinking it. it's just shopping. They can do whatever they want. I'll just keep my head down, get what i want need, and.. maybe I'll avoid them this time. If i see any of them i'll probably just pretend to ignore them. Right?

Fuck.. it's already 3pm.. i mumble to myself, noticing how late i am, after spending all that time overthinking.

I grab my jacket and pull it on quickly, glancing at the clock. I'm running late. Seungmin, Hyunjin and han are probably already planning what we'll do tomorrow. But i've got to get through today first. i slip my shoes on and head out, the sound of my footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway.

Shopping alone is never fun, but im getting used to it. it's just one more thing i have to do before tomorrow. I can already feel the dread settling in. The mall's chaotic, especially on a Saturday like this. And the thought of seeing Bangchan and his group there? not ideal. But I can't avoid it. I'll just keep my head down and grab what i need and get out of there as quickly as possible.

With a deep breath, I step outside, the sun hitting me like a wave. Summer's here and with it.. everything else.

...

I push through the mall doors, trying to keep my head down, but the noise and chaos swallow me whole. I focus on just getting in and out,
but then—Bam

I stumble back, my heart racing as i crash into something solid. My eyes snap up, the first thing I see is a broad chest blocking my view. The guy's tall, way too tall, and his presence feels like a weight pressing down on me. He doesn't move, just stands there, watching me with an intensity that makes my skin crawl.

" watch where you're going, loser." he growls, his voice low and dangerous. His grin is sharp. like he's savouring the moment.

familiar..?

I swallow, the breath catching in my throat, and finally, i look up— Bangchan. The guy who could probably break me without even trying.

i bow quickly after glancing at him, muttering an apology, and turn to leave, my face is burning. i don't look back, but i can feel his gaze on me, like he's waiting for me to mess up again.

"was that lee-know? the class pres of a11, he sure leaves a first impression.." i hear his friends mumbling about me..

"leeknow?.. hmm" Bangchan hums, as he looks my way, watching my every move

As i walk away, my mind starts to replay the embarrassing moment over and over. my face burns with the memory. But then i glance back— and thats when i realise, his whole group; the big 4, staring at me. Felix, Jeongin, Changbin, all of them!!

I can barely breathe. How am i supposed to survive monday?!

...

After mindlessly shopping, i head upstairs to the coffee shop, ordering a double shot of espresso, no cream. I find a quiet spot by the window and snap a quick photo for my ig. After posting, i chug the espresso in one go, the sharp bitter taste hitting hard. I grab my bag and head out of the cafe, trying to find the nearest bathroom, so i can wash my face.

"Finally" i sigh in relief, i rush to the bathroom and splash water on my face, trying to shake off the lingering tension. Every fucking time I close my eyes, I see it— the split second when Bangchan and I made eye contact. It felt like everything stopped for a moment. I wipe my face, hoping the memory will fade, but it won't. My heart still races.

I stare at my reflection, muttering under my breath, "why does he have to be good looking for someone who's so fucking annoying" I scrub my face harder, trying to push the thought away. But of course, its sticks. The last thing I need is to be distracted by him— especially now..

I hear a flush from one of the cubicles, realising how loud i've been. My face burns and i quickly straighten up hoping no one heard. But then the door swings open, and a tall figure steps out. I freeze my heart sinking as i look up—Bangchan

I grab my stuff, slam the door right open and run. The last thing i need right now is a plate full of attention.
