Notice Me || Woosan

Tuesday

"So captain, what are you gonna promise us if we win the match this Sunday?" asked Mingi, lying sprawled out on the grass.

"I already promised you guys a meal at that expensive restaurant you all like! Cut me some slack." Wooyoung grumbled, a pout forming.

The school soccer team was currently sitting in a circle, doing stretches in their break, trying to relieve some of the aches forming. Well all except one Song Mingi, who decided it was a good time to mess with their captain.

"What if we want you to confess to our head boy?" Mingi replied, a smirk tugging on his lips. The comment made the other people sitting in the circle to snicker, all of them taking amusement in the banter between the two.

"Go easy on him Mingi, not everyone has to suffer from their crush being completely oblivious to all their attempts at flirting." said Hongjoong, stifling a laugh himself.

Wooyoung groaned, making a note on getting himself some new, better friends.

"How about this Captain, if we win the game this Sunday, you're gonna confess you're undying love to San, Monday morning, in the middle of the hallway." Mingi was absolutely gleeful at his own suggestion. What wasn't helping his situation was that all his other teammates sitting in the circle started hooting and exclaiming their approval to the proposition.

They were all aware of their captains infatuation towards the adorable head boy, some even having to suffer through many rambles about said boy - Mingi, Hongjoong and Jongho mostly.

"That fluffy sweater look adorable on him hyung! I think I might combust."

"Did you see the way he parted his hair today! I swear to you I nearly forgot how to breath for a second when he entered class today."

"He's never gonna love me hyung! He's too perfect to love someone like me. I don't stand a chance."

"Fine! Fine! I'll do it you little shits. But only if we win the game." Wooyoung gave in, failing to hide the small smile tugging at his lips. Mingi practically screeched at Wooyoung's deal. It was a good thing the school was practically empty, the soccer team staying behind late to get some practice for their upcoming game. At least this way his hyper hyung would be motivated to do his best for the upcoming game.

"15 more minutes guys, and then we're heading back home!" Coach Seonghwa yelled from across the field, already packing up some of the things that the team had scattered haphazardly around the benches.

"Come on guys, one last round and then we're done for the day!" Wooyoung said getting up.

"I'm exhausted." Jongho grumbled, cradling a water bottle, walking beside Wooyoung, Mingi and Hongjoong. They were passing by the main hallway where student body meetings usually took place, when the door suddenly opened, immediately halting the group to not crash into it.

If Wooyoung was already short of breath because of the lengthy practice, now air practically refused to enter his lungs at the sight of the person he had been infatuated towards for the past year.

San turned towards the lot, noticing their presence, a pretty, dimpled smile forming. "Hi guys, how's practice going?"

Mingi practically threw himself at the boy, tackling him into a tight hug. "It went great! How's work on your end. You look exhausted! Why on earth are you still here?" Mingi rambled on, concerned expression directed towards San.

"Oh, it's nothing. I've just been a little busy working on posters and all that stuff for the upcoming festival." San reassured. "I just got done so i'm going to head back."

"We're headed back too. Walk with us?" Hongjoong offered San, a mischievous glance directed towards Wooyoung. The asshole, Wooyoung flares.

"Sure." San grinned, moving to stand between Jongho  and Mingi, Hongjoong and Wooyoung following them from behind.

Wooyoung couldn't help but stare at San, well his back more precisely. The way the older's soft blonde hair bounced with his light steps, giggling at a joke Mingi had made. Wooyoung sighed, feeling miserable about how he couldn't even hold a conversation with his crush.

"It's ok kiddo. Happens to the best of us." Hongjoong patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

Wooyoung pouted before turning back to listen to the conversation happening in front.

"I can drop you home, it's not a problem. You live in the apartment just 2 houses down mine. It's literally on the way, so it's not an inconvenience either." Mingi was talking to San, a reassuring smile on his face.

"Are you sure. I don't want to be a burden." San replied sheepishly. "I can just take the bus home it's no big deal. It is my fault I stayed extra hours instead of going back with Yeosang."

"No way am I letting you take a bus home at this time. You're coming with me." Mingi stated firmly, leaving no room for further arguments.

San smiled back gratefully and Wooyoung died a little seeing such a beautiful sight. That was until he realized what just happened, a frown immediately forming on his face.

"Calm yourself kid, Mingi is just dropping him home, not taking him out on a date." Hongjoong quietly snapped at the younger.

Wooyoung deflated at that, nodding solemnly. They had reached the school gates. "I'm heading home first. See you all tomorrow." Hongjoong walked away, giving a little wave.

"I guess we'll head out too then. Let's go San." Mingi said walking towards the gate. "We can grab some food on the way too if that's ok with you?"

"Sure. I'd love that." San replied, walking over to Mingi, smiling gratefully. "Bye Jongho! Bye Wooyoung." He waves to the two remaining figures.
Wooyoung couldn't help but swoon at how pretty his name sounded coming out of San's lips.

"Bye Hyung!" Jongho waves back, smiling at the older.

"'Not taking him on a date' my ass Hongjoong hyung" Wooyoung grumbled, drawing a snicker from Jongho.

"Aww hyung, it's not your fault Mingi is way more charming than you. Though you might want to up your game if you don't want him to steal your man." Jongho patted Wooyoung, walking towards his own bicycle to head back home.

"Don't be stupid hyung. We all know Mingi has the hots for Yunho." Wooyoung smirked, eliciting a laugh from the younger.

Standing alone at the gate, Wooyoung took a deep breath, deciding he would give it his all to win the game this Sunday and muster up the courage to confess to San.
