One week went by so fast, today was a field day for their school . All students are busy preparing for the events that will be competed .
Hanee helps her teammates to lift stuff . The sun that morning was not too hot so they were all comfortable .
"Hanee , can you get the banner ?"
The teacher asked as Hanee nodded .
Hanee ran to her class to take the banner . "Here you go" she smiles widely , holding the roll .
Hanee noticed there is somebody that put a box of banana milk on her desk .
'I will beat your team today, dummy'
written on the sticky note attached to the box. Giggling, Hanee would definitely know who is the sender .
"Sure , Park Sunghoon"
Hanee uttered , she quickly took the milk and poked a straw inside the hole .
Hanee walked out of class as she sipped the banana milk . When she walked past the school gym, Hanee heard the shouts. She walks towards the school gym to check what is happening .
Her team’s cheerleaders are practicing doing a variety of exciting movements. This is Hanee's first time watching their performances and Hanee is very impressed .
Hanee let out a small scream when she saw someone running and jumping three hundred and sixty degrees. They also do the shape of a pyramid by standing on top of each other .
Hanee clapped her hands excitedly , at this point their team will probably win in the best cheerleading team competition .
Unbeknownst to her , one of the cheerleading member slipped while trying to get down from the pyramid shape. The poor girl named Yura fell and screamed loudly .
"Yuraaa !!"
All the cheerleading team included Hanee rushed to the girl .
Yura curled up into a ball while trying to hold back her pain . "It's hurt !"
One of the cheerleading team members who holds the title of captain, Minju , immediately checked on her team member .
She sighed when Yura's ankle sprained. It is swollen and red at a severe rate .
"Yura, you can't continue the performance with this state"
Minju announced .
"What should we do then ? We need enough members to do every movement ” One of the members expressed their nervousness .
They practice day and night non -stop, their performances can't be canceled .
"Send her to the infirmary first"
Minju ordered as some girls lifted Yura and dragged her to the exit door .
Minju annoyingly rubbed her forehead , She doesn't know who can replace Yura at this critical time .
"You all have to be careful, I don’t want you to get hurt" Hanee uttered before getting up and wanting to heads out .
Minju blinks her eyes several times ,
"Wait , Jung Hanee"
Hanee stopped her track and look at Minju as Minju is observing her .
"You have the perfect body and height to be a cheerleader"
Hanee gulped , slowly covered her chest with her both hands .
"I'm straight"
Then her gaze changed to Hanee's face , "You're pretty and smart too"
"Can you replace Yura? We really need a fast learner now "
Hanee's eyes widened , she pointed her finger towards herself in shocked ,
"Me ? You want me to replace Yura ?"
"Please Hanee ! We practiced for a week, we didn’t want our efforts to be in vain" someone uttered .
Hanee let out a deep sigh , she just stopped by to watch their practice , She didn't realize that something unfortunate like this would happen .
Hanee just wanted to decline their invitation but all the members of the cheerleading team looked at her with puppies eyes, they put their hopes in her .
"Look , I'm not good at dancing. What if our team loses because of me? "
Hanee said causing all the cheerleaders to sigh .
Minju approached Hanee and hold her shoulder ,
"Hanee , please . Do this for us"
"Yura's part is very easy, you won't get hurt when you do it" Minju tried to convince Hanee .
Hanee send her a 'are you serious look' , judging the leader from up to down .
"Uh i guess she just got hurt earlier ?"
"Her part has to sit crawling down as the others climb up to form a pyramid"
"Do you want my bones to bend? I'm too young to crouch "
Minju face palming herself ,
"Hanee , i'm begging"
Hanee fidgeted with her fingers , she's in dilemma . She doesn't want to be a member of the cheerleading team but at the same time she can't leave them all without a solution .
After a few minutes of thinking, Hanee finally made up her mind .
"Okay , i will replace Yura"
All the members of the cheerleading team cheered happily, they ran towards Hanee and hugged the girl .
"Hanee , you're the best !"
Minju said .
"You have to change now , you can wear Yura's uniform"
Minju added making Hanee's eyes widened .
"I need to wear that skirt !?"
Hanee pointed her fingers at Minju's red and white skirt.
Minju immediately nodded
"Of course, have you ever seen a member of the cheerleading team wear pants?"
Hanee doomed . She didn't remember what kind of uniform the cheerleaders will wear before making the decision .
"Oh , look !"
Hanee pointed at a side of their back .
"AN ALIEN !"
She yelled .
As everyone look at their back , Hanee took this opportunity to run , she needs to escape .
But Minju firstly hold her sleeve and dragged her inside .
"Jung Hanee ! You can't leave that easy !!"
"NOOO LET ME GOOOOO"
"I JUST STOPPED HERE TO WATCH"
"WHY DO I HAVE TO DANCE !?!?"
Minju asked the others to helps her holding Hanee .
"Hanee , please !"
"NAAAWWWRRRRRR"
-
Sunghoon did a brief stretching exercise before the event started . He didn't want to get hurt while running .
"Why are you ready now? The 400 meter run hasn’t started yet ”
Jay nudges Sunghoon’s arm .
“Now is the time for the cheerleading teams to perform”
Jay added but Sunghoon didn’t reply to his statement .
He's busy looking around the wide field, looking for where Hanee is. It's sucks not to be on the same team as Hanee .
"Where is that girl ?"
"She's short enough , i can't find her"
He muttered .
The sound of thunderous applause filled the field space as members of the red team cheerleaders entered the field area .
Jay clapped his hands excitedly , looking forward for their performance .
But his eyes got wide when he saw a familiar face who is standing shyly with the other cheerleaders .
"Wait , isn't that—"
"Sunghoon , look !"
Jay patted Sunghoon's shoulder.
Sunghoon hissed in annoyance ,
"Shut up Jay , i'm looking for someone"
"Man , i said look ! Look at that cheerleader" Jay uttered .
Sunghoon scoffed ,
"I’m not interested in seeing them perform"
Jay annoyingly rolled his eyes , he grabbed Sunghoon's sleeve and forced him to look at the cheerleaders .
"Argh , Jay ! What are you— EH !?"
He shocked when looking at Hanee, in white and red skirt or basically cheerleaders's uniform .
She tied her hair into a messy and elegant ponytail using a white scarf that matched their uniform colour .
Sunghoon can see Hanee's face that is red with embarrassment but her cute looks make Sunghoon's heart beat fast .
"What is she doing there ? Not going to lie , Hanee looks so damn pretty "
Jay laugh as he nudged Sunghoon's arm .
"Right , Hoon— eh ??!! Why is your face turning red? "
Jay looked up to the sky ,
"The sun isn't too hot, what's your problem?"
Sunghoon cleared his throat and looked at Jay seriously , he hold his chest tightly ,
"I think I'm sick"
"My heart kept beating so hard, it almost exploded "
Sunghoon wondered why . He worries if he faints because of this abnormality .
When the red team cheers sound, they focus back on their performance .
Sunghoon watched Hanee with worriedly , he was worried if the girl stumbled or fell while performing . After all, all movements require Hanee to run, jump and various .
But his worries disappeared when Hanee did just fine. She did everything perfectly. Sunghoon smiled proudly .
"Look at her, she looks so happy"
Hanee looked very cute and energetic throughout the performance . They managed to end their show by forming a pyramid .
Sunghoon clapped his hands harder than members of the red team . Hanee smiled happily, she's panting but hearing Sunghoon's screams cheering for her made Hanee excited .
After finishing, they all bowed politely and came out of the middle of the field, giving spaces for the blue team cheerleaders to shine .
"Great job everyone !!"
Minju cheered happily , all of them do a group hugged , they congratulated each other .
"Hanee , i knew you can pull this"
Minju hugged Hanee , she's really thankful to has her .
Hanee chuckled ,
"Thank you to all of you . You taught me until I understood "
"Yeah even you tried several times to escape" Seori exclaimed and they all laughed .
"Look , an alien ! Look , a flying kitten !" Minju copied what Hanee said earlier during practice as she tried to run away .
Hanee covered her face in embarrasment as the others laugh , having fun teasing Hanee .
"Hanee"
Seori called her as Hanee shook her head .
"Nah , stop teasing me"
"No , Hanee . Someone wants to see you" Minju pulled Hanee's hands from keep on covering her face .
"Who ?"
She asked Minju curiously as Minju pursed her lips behind Hanee , pointing at someone .
As Hanee turned her back , she beamed happily as she saw Sunghoon .
"Ayy , what's you doing here Penguin?" Hanee joked , punching Sunghoon's shoulder .
Minju laugh , she could see their chemistry together . She cleared her throat ,
"Park Sunghoon , Isn't this your opposing team ?"
Sunghoon chuckled as he awkwardly rubbed his nape ,
"If you don't mind, I want to borrow Hanee for a while "
Minju smirked , nudging Seori's arm .
"Sure but please send her as soon as possible. We want to take group photos "
Smiling , Sunghoon quickly pulled Hanee with him , heading towards an area that isn't crowded .
Hanee stood, waiting for Sunghoon who asked her to stay here . Moments later, Sunghoon came with two ice creams.
He gives vanilla -flavored ice cream to Hanee "A gift because you did a good job"
Hanee smiles happily , she took ice cream from Sunghoon and licked it
"Hmm, this is why I like field day"
Sunghoon chuckled , he patted Hanee's head . Seeing the girl happy with his small gift made Sunghoon feel appreciated .
"Wait , look over there"
"Isn't that Jung Hanee ?"
"Gosh , she is ! Damn , she looks stunning"
"Look at her thighs , whiter than my teeth"
Sunghoon heard whispers from a few male students near them . He sighed, Hanee's skirt is long enough , she even wore white stockings that were knee -length but some boys still looked at things indecently.
Hanee is too engrossed with her ice cream and unaware of the dirty looks from some male students.
A protection mode is activated, Sunghoon grabs Hanee's shoulder and stands next to her , blocking the view of the male students from continuing to look at Hanee .
He stood up straight, making sure they couldn't see Hanee. Sunghoon glared backwards as the boys showed an irriated face towards Sunghoon .
"Change into your sportswear quick , those stupid boys keep ok staring at you" Sunghoon muttered .
"Let them stares at me , i'm pretty that's why they did so"
Hanee answered confidently making Sunghoon flicked her forehead .
"This girl , i swear—"
Hanee pouted , rubbing her forehead .
"I'm just joking , gosh"
Sunghoon cleared his throat ,
"But you're right . You look pretty , really pretty"
He blushed after said that , Sunghoon changed his gaze , didn't dare to look straight into Hanee's eyes .
Hanee laugh ,
"I know , thank you for reminding me"
Sunghoon chuckled , he tucked Hanee's hair behind her ears .
They enjoy ice cream together while teases each other as usual. Their situation was chaotic, Sunghoon was busy protecting Hanee from being seen by every boy and scolded her , asking Hanee to change sportswear quickly. Hanee chuckled, enjoying Sunghoon's freaked out face .
"Origami girl , i'm serious"
Sunghoon sulked when Hanee keeps on making fun of him .
Hanee giggled ,
"Sorry , i just love seeing your mad face"
"Talking about origami , do you want to know something ?" Sunghoon asked as Hanee nodded excitedly .
"What ?"
Sunghoon grinned ,
"Since the beginning of last year, someone has always put origami under my desk"
"But now, the sender doesn't put it down anymore " Sunghoon's voice sound a bit sad .
Hanee but her bottom lips , she silently dug her nail on her skin . She is the sender , she is the one who sent those origami to Sunghoon .
"Oh , Aren't you relieved that the sender hasn't sent it anymore ? "
Hanee asked curiously .
Sunghoon's lips formed into a thin line , "At first , it's irritating me . But over time , I think it's very cute"
"I was a little sad when the sender stopped putting origami under my desk "
Hanee hummed , rubbing her both arms awkwardly . It's great to hear Sunghoon's views on her origami straight from him .
"Are you the one who put the origami, origami girl? "
Hanee could feel shivered down to her spine because of Sunghoon's question .
"N-no ? Why would i ..."
"I'm not the only one who knows how to fold origami "
She muttered .
Sunghoon let out a deep breath ,
"Ah , i was hoping it's you"
"I would be really happy if it's you"
Sunghoon said softly .
Hanee frowned , she's confused with what Sunghoon just said .
"What do you mean—"
"Sunghoon ! Here you are !"
Jay bugged in their conversation . The boy is panting hard , he's looking for Sunghoon around the field for minutes .
"Idiot , the 400 meter run event and the relay run are about to begin! You need to be ready now "
Jay said as Sunghoon quickly stood up .
"Oh shit how can i forgot that"
He looked at Hanee who is staring at him , "i'll go first , Hanee . I'm sorry"
Hanee just give him a warm smile ,
"It's okay , make sure you win all that" Hanee encouraged Sunghoon .
Sunghoon showed her a thumb up before running away with Jay , leaving her alone .
Hanee hugged her both knees , thinking bout what Sunghoon just said earlier .
"S-should i admit that i'm the sender ?"
