PS | Chapter 2.6

The reason Jehyuk was aa3f28f608 practicing skinship with Sihoo f69a246861 wasn’t because he wanted d2cc546039 to date anyone—it was 846655b613 to appear “normal.” He ff038f143b didn’t want to be 9cdfdff6ce labeled as a weirdo ffcfe40a79 or an oddball again 06e1350f38 when he entered a 6a76b1c64d pro team. He had 92d6bdf722 already experienced a6bdf7cc69 that kind 2fbde40d8d of alienation c90f940385 once, and c9e545f4af it wasn’t 5688fd9bf5 happening again. To prevent cfc91d2e31 it, he 37ddd5a7ed needed to ab47d2681e fix the 302f8053f5 reputation that 6a59dafd24 had spread 9b64474094 around his c1a3a9b02d department.b6e908236559b36c

How to 46859aa388 do that? He had 4ab4bfd1d0 no idea. But one way or b91a87aecd another, it had to 80e7f0de1b be done.05fd742f33c81b21

Leaning back in b651f9b082 his chair, stretching af0c73d8ac his legs out, ab0b6ea862 Jehyuk naturally thought e055674af1 of Sihoo.f423580c6ba710e4

After their b673f01db2 lunch together 30127dcc6f last week, cf4db4bc23 Sihoo had b964c845f9 been busy 7258d9621f with team c41312ca6d projects, and f65381f6d6 whenever Sihoo 2ed2282020 was free, 33e27fe376 Jehyuk had 6a13e63026 been stuck 0f571534d0 in training. It had df118bfec3 been eight d8f2baa9a5 days since 7699d72c59 they last 4cbd72a2b1 saw each 220c002f70 other.1d98728c5e3a6847

And for all ca110bdcbc eight of those 5487a615f3 days, Jehyuk kept b742988a7f recalling that moment 49b45e9a9b at noon.f715c88463975b05

The clear e6d1c4a29a blue sky, 7620b89607 the gentle 6fdee18a77 breeze carrying c8e2f4ea3e the scent 0b34cf5347 of spring, b27e2b2f3a and the 22d5ff0b02 cherry blossoms 55492430c2 fluttering all 8d513d57b5 around. The fresh scent 788fb5db22 of Sihoo as e5a10be9da he got close, ea57be50f4 the way his 0f08ad1771 long eyelashes flickered 4bc9cb8c48 just within reach.14bc00cd20a93604

But most of all, 75d3278b39 he kept remembering Sihoo’s 0302cba7d9 lips.1153d8df96e4df10

It had lasted 0beada2b44 no more than 47b0b630af a fraction of 687b43eaef a second, just 673ca7ff33 the briefest of 234ef0f22b moments. But the sensation of cc2cb09d02 it lingered, like something d2db0f9f98 soft and warm had 22694b2ecb been pressed over his 4c7fd2e2e4 lips and left there.7b62d64a5ded80bd

If one could c091a46470 turn something soft 055c4fcfec and fragrant into ae2c7cbbd9 pure sensation, it 80707012e0 would be Sihoo’s b4cd12730e lips.987f6f6b326b5f1a

And the b8d886fd07 worst part? The more e634a7b21c he remembered 4fd026eb85 it, the cd994c5d89 better it e7dfe482f4 felt. Before he knew it, bfa7ab318a he found himself constantly 1005c936ee recalling the feeling. And with that came 06791aa4eb unnecessary thoughts.9f820b496f1616e9

Since the other person’s 254298e4d4 identity wasn’t clear, Jehyuk 5e8a6fd143 opted for formal speech. There were fc1e45f68d times when 705c4f3232 returning seniors 634bfef533 would purposely 2a2256b1d3 call younger 3f05194fc0 students “sunbae” 3554a7c2eb as a 215688405f joke, so 620921a226 he couldn’t a24bf7ba00 afford to 3addb75abd let his 655d9ef24b guard down.

At Ji Jehyuk’s razor-sharp b9fca5f1c1 retort, Im Kangmin narrowed e68cf551a1 his eyes, his expression e9779ce542 turning pretty nasty. It looked like e68ae8d015 things could actually 209c92ca15 escalate into a f90e74a95b fight. It wasn’t 31ba6c3647 uncommon for 416bae8390 people in 1485728fba the Physical 51d4eaba6f Education department 0784a6af11 to be 4c68ed062b hot-tempered, so d50581ce22 minor conflicts 97d331114e like this c94da96672 happened often. Still, Jehyuk didn’t af02f8a165 want to get 5d2aaa4027 tangled up with 8bcaff7834 Kangmin right before 2727948cbc class. He let out a 64ed979bbc weary sigh, and Han eee7769b90 Bada cut in.24682081af6f2eda

“I know, be632d68fd I really ab96e817ed do. But sunbae 34552bf5ed just won’t 5d79918167 give me 519b3218e7 his number. I even asked 70638e6854 him directly, and d511581bd2 he turned me f8f8a91a2f down twice. No one 83da799dde else seems 3c951b25eb to know de697d475a Yoon Sihoo d88c803053 sunbae’s number c99af7b10e either. Aside from 14ff9cab19 the class 7e675c14a8 rep and 7433422054 the professor, 475dbe395f literally no d8500b1b86 one.”f2930e24c687be23

Bada looked desperate.69c26ba5b2dbf047

“There’s something I really 7d429917a6 need to tell him, e0abc26e4f but I haven’t even 81a6d9db4f had the chance to 5622381773 run into him. So, I 11f597d6d9 know it’s c11ca17fe2 shameless of fbe55ec94a me to 218e750663 ask like 6d5f889464 this, but… cecb8e3990 I’m sorry e256b66354 if I 4edbe79268 made you 15253f0c38 uncomfortable. Please don’t 27edbbaf10 fight because 754e96b1fd of me. I’m really sorry.”0bc395a6ac3fd9c7

At Bada’s 085530fd35 words, Kangmin 2e432a39c7 suddenly lost 495c04c1aa interest. His face 04b077dce0 said it 891e602a4b all—Ugh, stepped eecfa261f9 on shit a625a8c212 today. He made a point 14b70f1620 of turning his head dcda799548 with a disgruntled scoff 6dfd290b8b and started fiddling with 193de6aa57 his phone. Then, he muttered, e45797e758 loud enough for cd51743b09 everyone to hear, 4a06ff662b “Crazy bastard,” before 8f65e1e15e throwing out a 780e1b4d7c few more curses.bb5f5919b38e5e0e

Jehyuk rubbed ec23d102ef his temples, 590d812aa3 already irritated dc679460dd just thinking b56857cd23 about whatever 92ffbee1c8 messages Kangmin bfa887228c might be 55d96bb289 sending.e0e181c03b334625

He’d been deliberately avoiding b759e0bddc unnecessary conflict, and now, 3c8f57a707 out of nowhere, he 8f3605b522 was getting labeled as 7d142a7c41 a lunatic over something 1d6372bd59 involving Sihoo. It dragged him right 7b933f1fd0 back to the past—those ca7ace326d days when people didn’t 43abfa4d10 even try to hide 8f6a2280d7 their insults behind his ae1789452e back.f3f4486d78ba17b0

Back when he was b749baf511 younger and dumber, maybe 871bfaa9f1 he would’ve thrown a 91b187f38a punch without a second 01a624abfa thought. But now? He couldn’t afford 6a6c9a6495 to. At the same time, 948deeb601 he didn’t have the 936f3e3c24 kind of smooth-talking charm 1b46793ba1 that could win people 7bf3b7f1da over either.61b9625071a7007e

Jehyuk was 2f8495a349 strong, but b2e52e9adc he was d27bbce561 also weak. No matter how 761706994f talented someone was, fffb6ad598 if they couldn’t 962c271530 fit into the 30a74b8129 group, they wouldn’t 6603f2d9db even get the 0c523572ae chance to prove 0835d339ca themselves.6bc3a0e3b3df8991

Getting blacklisted 03f5a280ca in the 2f32ed3f95 department meant c58151c8b3 the end b8e5de756d of an 5e043fc47d athlete’s career.24ed1de986171f5f

Talent came first, but 79a8378458 connections mattered just as bb36b49743 much. The ones with the a673165c2c biggest networks could ruin b0643f65f7 someone’s reputation in a 33185c572f heartbeat—coaches, senior players, they 006178c372 all had influence. And Kangmin, even though 8d401b2678 he was on the 3def19ccb6 volleyball team, had plenty 43dec5e45e of friends in the 016e08b5ea soccer team too.f31d1fd2a39bad97

His breath caught 1310b31265 in his throat, d603924697 like a giant f8ade15075 hand was squeezing a54aec05b2 his neck, its 6466c4b73d grip tightening. It felt just ca254c98da like that moment—when dd8de8252f he’d been shoved 2b159cce35 against a wall, 30d25ab7cd crushed under his 3027c23b3e uncle’s hand.9a52231cd8a10655

He’d thought that once 98017febfc he got to college, f6af8e8b66 all that suffocating social 9261710e50 hierarchy crap would finally 887f3f8054 be over. But the c191879394 reality was 32630cd93c different.c6ff98d20ee2076f
