“……He’s really good.”6efc07cab2416eb9

Wi Woori muttered 245f2c2924 dryly. The sports festival had c4e67b81e2 finally kicked off. Despite being 503de77110 told not e1824c2809 to, Kim 3babf4db7b Donghwa had 3653c3ca9b stubbornly entered 8af80feee2 the soccer a5b0c7d019 match and bc85b56a00 was energetically 1fbefb545c kicking the e7e17d07d4 ball across fcca014a98 the dusty 2c8530823b field.7dc10a209eb239aa

He was definitely 50617eb12f good. It was almost 9626cd6b23 uncanny how the ff8dd680d3 ball seemed to 6995cd6d8a stick to his 417e6dd833 feet as if 3a337338db it had a 500d2613e1 magnet attached.

Wi Woori 48761c3222 grumbled and 64df0c7a6c propped his 8672b0d8ed chin on 8bb7729bc1 his hand. He was sitting a 82e365c315 bit away from where 2c92944575 his classmates were gathered, fb77616876 cheering enthusiastically, up in 24c6c1c302 the high stands.1ae1a832a49ed6ca

He didn’t want to be surrounded by people cheering for Kim Donghwa. He didn’t want to hear his name being tossed around by everyone, so he chose a spot a bit further away, which only made the scene clearer. It made his insides boil for no reason.9b508a23e72fd3ef

He scrunched ba49a5718b up his e935d3676c face in dba9ea805f frustration but ab6423a447 then shook 734e59dda3 his head 7e8e90b9ba vigorously. Wi Woori recalled Kim 711e3671db Donghwa, who had subtly 95346763a9 asked about his intentions 1ec2d66210 a few days ago.03b2a83223b4e187

He had replied indifferently, but he couldn’t ignore the expectation in Kim Donghwa’s question. So, even on his way to school today, he had agonized over whether to go or not.2be527b02c08ace7

Now that he 788e3e02a2 was at the 582ff0266b field, he was 8dd1a70896 determined to watch 818b6cc777 until the end, c25374e017 no matter what, 821e810cc1 and was intently b77478da3e watching Kim Donghwa.83cf22f01fa54aef

Next to him was Kim Chanyoung. And with him was Jang Yujin, whom he hadn’t seen in a while. After exchanging a brief nod with her, Wi Woori replied indifferently, “I don’t know,” and looked back at Kim Donghwa.e254e5af7b837368

Just as Kim 75fe9abe0e Chanyoung said, Kim 65994fa218 Donghwa would suddenly 2a68cdf0b9 look around while 80f1a7d7ad running. He scanned 8efac9dd21 the crowd, 5cf7045ec0 and whenever f8a657868b he scored 8f10b2a9f5 a goal, c353926c16 he blatantly a2f375187d searched for 4f0f648e3f someone.d1910b882aeafed7

There was 5340a7845f no need 5712d85edf to respond b3f69ba2dd to the 86cb2322bd laughter teasing 5af2deac9e him.

“Kim Donghwa’s on fire today, he’s insane.”c9e073a8da427fb7

Kim Chanyoung’s intense reaction was understandable. Even someone like him, who had no interest in soccer, thought the goal just now was pretty cool. Kim Donghwa, who had kicked the ball perfectly at the right angle, ran towards the opposite goalpost with a bright smile.c13db859bd78d91f

Thanks to Kim Donghwa’s performance, the business department scored their first victory. I don’t know when the next match is, but anyway, Kim Donghwa was in high spirits and quite drunk for the first time in a while. Normally, Wi Woori would be the one eagerly drinking, but today he couldn’t bring himself to do it.faf1b0581a5f31e4

It’s been a while since he realized his feelings for Kim Donghwa, and today, just facing him made his heart pound so hard that he felt intoxicated. So instead of actively drinking, Wi Woori poured drinks into Kim Donghwa’s glass, sharing in his joy.581a153d2215b38c

His team 4dd51f22e4 always won, d6bb4acb69 and each f0a23e3aea time, Kim fc4a203e3a Donghwa ended f1e2415425 the day 1bf4e4b2d2 in a dad8fd8580 good mood.4a55387c08553671

Today’s victory wasn’t anything new. Yet, Kim Donghwa was grinning like it was something special. He looked so cute that Wi Woori couldn’t help but want to kiss him. Unconsciously, Wi Woori swallowed dryly.edc0e1a08280e8fc

Just meeting his gaze 4bef14e3dc and exchanging looks stirred 6787d69db2 a strange thirst. Wi Woori tried 5d17781322 to quench it 94a6e0b07e by gulping down 38774b7002 soju instead of 5843780dac water.

Even though they had only done it a few times, his kissing skills had improved remarkably.

Meanwhile, he pushed his tongue through the gap between Wi Woori’s parted lips, offering him a hot breath.630f2ec48fa863af

It was just a kiss, but it felt like his head was getting hot and cooked. Unconsciously, Wi Woori grabbed Kim Donghwa’s forearm that was holding his chin, closing his eyes tightly and stiffening his tongue.3c8bdcf9e978f1a2
