When & Where | SOOGYU

"Auch! Ah— I'm sorry!"

It's ten in the morning, all students are filling the high school's corridor, finding their way to their next classes. And there's Choi Beomgyu, running in a rush while holding stacks of books, bumping through almost all students that were on his way.

"Ah! What the— hey, kid! Watch where you're going!" Scolded someone to the black-haired boy, probably a senior.

"Sorry!" He yelled, not even giving a glance to the student, and continue running in a hurry.

Beomgyu is the school library assistant, his tasks are very simple actually. Sorting and organizing the books, checking books in and out at the library front desk, and helping the teachers searching and sending books for their lessons.

And now he's late for his class and delivering some books for a teacher.

"God, why is it always me." The boy groaned as he passes through the endless amount of students. Not giving a damn if he's breaking the school rule, no running in the hallways.

He's too focused on rushing to the class he needs to send the books to, not noticing someone is standing in his way and accidentally bumped into the person.

"Ow! Oh my God! I'm sorry—"

"No, no, it's okay!" The person chuckles and reaches out his hand to pat Beomgyu's head.

Confused by the person's action, the black-haired boy looks up and meets the person's eyes— oh God, oh no, not him.

"Do you need help with the books?" The tall boy in front of him smiles, showing his charming dimples.

Beomgyu frowns, oh how much he hates the situation he's in now. Late to his class and late to send the books, most frustratingly, bumped into the one and only, Choi Soobin.

Today is his unlucky day, he curses under his breath when he remembers his encounters with a black cat on his way to school earlier. He thoughts the cat must be the reason why he's so unfortunate today.

"No, thanks, I don't need your help." Beomgyu hissed at the taller boy. The older widened his eyes in surprise and offended, no one ever hisses at him grumpily before. Being the most perfect student, everyone seems to adore and respect him.

"Oh, are you sure? It looks heavy and I think you were in a hurry." Soobin still manages to smiles, assuring the younger to accept his help.

Beomgyu only grimaces, "No, I'm fine and you were right, I really am in a hurry right now. So if you don't mind, can you get the fuck out of my way?"

The tall boy automatically moved and gave a way for the younger to pass through, still shocked at how rude Beomgyu was.

The younger managed to walk past the perfect boy, not forgetting to shoves the older one's shoulder with his own shoulder.

——————————

"Stupid Soobin, and his stupid pErfEcT and PoLitE behavior."

Beomgyu is now at the library, doing his daily tasks; organizing books to their categorized shelves. He was scolded for being late to his class, sending the books late, and running in the hallway earlier. Not that he cares, he's imperfect after all. Flaws and mistakes are normal to him, but surely not to you-know-who.

"You've been insulting Soobin for hours, do you know that?" Jeongin, Beomgyu's co-library assistant, interrupts his cursing session.

"Oh, really?" Beomgyu sarcastically widening and blinking his eyes innocently, acting shocked.

Jeongin replies with a sigh in return, "What kind of things did he do now?" The fox-eyed boy was already used to Beomgyu hating and despises the perfect tallboy. Not surprised if he found out Soobin just doing good things and Beomgyu would curse the older for the rest of the day.
