hate me | yeongyu

"oh we have that too."

"wait what? i'll get a tutor?" beomgyu asks shocked.

"not if you'll score good." yeosang reassures. "it still seems like a lose-lose situation tho."

"score good? have you not seen me? i'm dumb?!" beomgyu face palms himself.

"well let's get you started on studying then." taehyun puts the math books in front of beomgyu.

beomgyu proceeds to study the whole week at taehyun's, which was not that bad. plus he got to spend less time home and more time with his best friend.

the schooldays are shorter, because of the testweek. which meant that he has to spend more time home.

but something was different. his parents came home late. as if they were competing on who could get home the latest.

which only resulted in beomgyu being alone all the time and not eating dinner. did they forget that they had a son?

this week went by really fast. he had started to become closer with chenle as they gamed together. but he had also managed to trip yeonjun in the hallway.

it was an accident ofcourse, but it didn't help his situation. he did gain another 'i hate you' but was it really worth it.

today it was the monday the test scores would be announced. beomgyu hoped for an average score.

his highest score was on japanese. 91%. those anime's payed off. his korean and english are also good scores. 83% and 85%.

"taehyun, look i got 45% on math! those study sessions really payed off!" beomgyu says happily.

taehyun raises one eyebrow. "uhm congrats? how are you happy with that? your score should be above 60%."

"i know, but i always got a 20% on math so it's progress right?"

taehyun nods and pets beomgyu's hair. "you did great."

"alright class, can i have your attention?" the teacher claps in her hands. "you'll all receive a mail later today. in this mail will be addressed if you'll be a tutor or get one. some students get a chance to choose or refuse, this is only for the students who scored average."

beomgyu looks on his paper. most of his scores are in between 40 and 60. he'll probably won't get a choice.

"taehyun can you ask your parents if i can sleep over? i feel so lonely at home." beomgyu whispers to his friend.

taehyun nods and sends the text right away.

the lessons went back to normal after the first lesson. beomgyu tried to pay attention, so that he won't look dumb in front of his new tutor tomorrow. finally lunch break has come.

"i'm gonna sit with chenle, he's gonna learn me how to play among us. wanna come with?" beomgyu asks taehyun.

"nahh i'm good. see you in class, nerds." taehyun says as he walks away from beomgyu and chenle.

beomgyu huffs "says the one with an average of 80%."

"let's go outside gyu." chenle grabs beomgyu's hand and starts walking.

they decide to sit on the school field, but farther away from the group.

"how did you do on the tests?" chenle asks while focusing on the game.

"horrible, how about you?" beomgyu tries figuring out how to do tasks.

"terrible... gyu follow me, i'm blue."

"wait noo, i'm.... a ghost?" beomgyu looks confused at his phone.

chenle giggles. "ah shit, you died."

"damn it." beomgyu takes a sip of his water.

"why does yeonjun hate you?"

beomgyu almost chokes on his water at the sudden subject switch. "he said that?"

chenle nods. "practically every time he sees you."

"oh... well i may have accidentally cursed him out, spilled chocolate milk all over him and i tripped him?"

"you did that? accidentally? how?" chenle's attention shifted from the game to beomgyu.

"i don't even know, i just wanted to ask him out. but that didn't age well." beomgyu fake cries.

"so you went from wanting to ask him out to tormenting him? yeah that's definitely not how you flirt." chenle shakes his head.

"stop, i'm not tormenting him! maybe... you can say something good about me?" beomgyu asks innocent.

chenle frowns. "this guy literally hates you. even god can't help you."

"chenle you're the worst! but wait does he talk about me a lot?"

"he talks about you, but not the way you want him to." chenle holds back his laughter.

beomgyu smiles as the butterflies start acting up again. "oh really? maybe it's exactly the way i want him to."

chenle face palms himself. "not like that, beomgyu. not like that."

beomgyu falls into laughter. "i'm just joking."
