"Well someone's having a bad first day" You hear, who you assume is your seat mate, mutter as you trudge your way through the classroom and forcefully dump your bag on the floor beside you as you take a seat before slamming your head on the desk.

The reason why you were having such a bad morning was because after Changbin cuddled with you for five minutes, he got up, got dressed and the two of you walked to school.

The reason why you were so irritated though was because he acted like nothing happened. He acted like you didn't just do things that couples do in early mornings. He acted as if it was normal for friends to cuddle like that and not have romantic feelings for each other.

You weren't gonna lie. You were sure that Changbin knew as well as you did that if any other person saw what you were doing, they would assume that you were dating.

It was as if he used the 'we did this when we were younger' card as an excuse every fucking time.

And it irritated you how it was as if the two of you were stuck, living in some limbo between bestfriends and whatever is after that and Changbin didn't want to talk about it.

You turn your head to your seat mate and flash him a tired smile.

"Hello! I'm l/n y/n! I hope we get along well cause we'll probably be stuck with each other for a while huh?"

The guy chuckles at your statement before flashing you a smile. And you have to admit, he is cute.

"I'm Kim Seungmin. And it's nice to meet you"

~~~~~

You and Seungmin instantly clicked, chatting before and even after the teacher came in the room.

"What dork is absent on the first day of school?" You mutter when you see the chair in front of Seungmin, still vacant despite half of the period already being done.

"Didn't you hear, Han Jisung is our classmate. And their coach wanted to start training early this year cause they were only second place last year" Seungmin whispered as he faced forward, making sure that the teacher wasn't looking.

"Ahhh. The school's famous basketball player" You muttered absent mindedly. You don't think you've ever seen the guy, or even if you did, you probably didn't know that it was him considering the fact that you were rarely updated with what's been happening around this school despite being here for your whole high school life but everyone knew the famous Han Jisung.

"Aww... Isn't it kind of sad that his training is so early?" You continue to mumble as you take notes, glancing at the empty seat every once and a while.

"The coach should give him and his team a break. At least they got 2nd place out of all of the schools last year"

"Well, that's what he gets for being a varsity player. Now focus on your notes" Seungmin says with chuckle, tapping your head with his pen when he notices how zoned out you were.

"Han Jisung... Han Jisung..." You mumbled as you took notes, curious about the school's top varsity player.

~~~~~

"Finally! Lunch Time!" You say excitedly as you and Seungmin exit the classroom.

"Let's see who gets tired of who first" Seungmin jokes as the two of you walk to your lockers. So far, you and Seungmin have been in the same class for every period and when you both decided to check your schedules, you realized that you only have one class that's different.

You just chuckle at his statement as you change your position from walking beside the guy to facing the guy and walking backwards towards your lockers. The hall didn't have that many people anyway because everyone was too busy having lunch so you thought that it was fine.

"Seungmin if I bump into someone I'm blaming y-FUCK!"

"-SHIT!"
