[ YUN YESEUL ]

"WHATEVER, I still think that's jealousy." I hear Leeseo mumble, leaning back onto the couch, dismissing all the arguments and scowls she got from Rei and Liz as I bite back a laugh.

"Stop feeding onto her delusions, seo." Rei narrowed her eyes before snorting, cuddling me tighter. I love my girls.

Shaking my head, I sit back up. "I can't let him walk over me like this, seriously why is he so rude?" I groan, looking over at Liz. Who is taping a polaroid of felix and her? What-

All of us three gasp in unison as the conservation takes a shift to the topic of Liz and Lix. A long and quiet sigh left my lips, relieved that they're finally not sending imaginary threats to Jungwon.

As the conversation goes on, I find myself drowning into sleep as Liz's couch gets a tad more comfortable than usual, helping me sleep better.

-

YOU know the universe doesn't like you when after all the taunts of your girl-friends about your crush seem to be real. Why is he sitting there and laughing with that girl? Who even is she? I sound jealous, but that's maybe because I am.

How could he sit there and laugh, and look so ethereal? Wow, I need to stop with those movie dialogues wandering in my head. But seriously, what a bitch, always snaps at me and is now talking to the another girl? But god, why would I ever think he girl-deprieved? I need to stop judging my choices too. Hell, I need to stop fucking thinking about him.

Shaking my head, as if to get those thoughts out, my feet push me back to my comfort spot, right by the window to the gym class. I let out an annoying scoff, loud enough for the boy sitting there to hear.

Oh. He turns back, my gaze immediately softening. I mean, how could it not? It's literally Choi Beomgyu. Liz says I've will always have a thing for him, but I'm too into jungwon, right? Right??

"What? You think only you could come here or something, kid yun?" I hear fine-shit snort, patting the spot beside him for me to come over. Huh? Beomgyu. Yeah beomgyu.

I hiss softly, not trusting myself to utter words as I sit beside him. "Don't call me that, Iseul is fine." I finally heard myself mumble. Why did I mumble again? God.

"Why? It suits you, I call your brother 'Yun', so you're 'kid yun'" I hear his calm voice say, brushing off my thoughts of my mind. He slings his arm around my shoulder and I try to show that I- infact am not bothered by it.

For context, I liked choi beomgyu in middle school, hell, ever until my brother got to know. Off limits. I still hear his voice ringing in my ears. Which honestly is fine, I'm really not into the brother's bestfriend trope even in books.

I hear him say something but I'm too drowned in my thoughts. Yang Jungwon entered my life in high school. First year, way too sweet, dimples and all cutesy shit.

Wow, am I in love with him? I chuckle to myself before being poked, more like flicked out of my thoughts as I hiss. "You're not listening me, kid." Oh yes Choi Beomgyu is sitting right beside me, how could I forget?

"Yes." I say absent mindedly. To what? I don't know, what did I agree to?

"Great then, I'll pick you up." Hearing that, my face instantly turned towards him, and I just noticed how close our faces were. "Huh?" I mumbled, unable to form coherent words as he shift away, making us comfortable.

"You didn't hear me did you? Yun Yeseul, always in her thoughts." He sighed , palms resting on the floor as he looked at me. Way too hot. What? He's like my brother! I like Jungwon!

"You know me too well." I chuckle standing up, giving him a hand.

He grins before taking my hand. "You're coming to tomorrow night's party with me. Soobin, Sunghoon, Heeseung and Sunoo will be there, all your brother's friends so you're good, invite your friends too."

"You know I don't do parties, Beomgyu." I dismiss his words and before he can argue and win, I leave, my pace fast as I look down. Why do I look down while walking? I ask myself after I bumped into someone.

"You really don't know how to walk now, do you, Yeseul?" The voice scoffs. Ofcourse it's Jungwon, what a day to be alive. I suddenly feel myself get tensed as I realise it all- his hands gripping my shoulders on each side and face close to me.

The instinct of being bold kicks in and I look upto his face. Immediately regretting, I look away. I can't just look at his face without blushing. I part my lips to say something but nothing comes out.

"Always the quiet one." I heard him mumble as he leaves my shoulders and walks away. I think I like being bumped into him. Am I that romance deprived that I found THAT hot? Rei would kill me if she finds out. So will my book boyfriends. I talk to myself as usual, walking up to the class.

"After telling me to fuck off, wow." I say, loud enough for him to hear and give me that glare of his I adore.

Two boy encounters wow, dreaming big, Issie.
