a leap of faith

“soobin!” she calls out to him before walking over to him excitedly, not even noticing the smile on her face forming just from the fact that she was seeing him. “sorry i’m a littlelate. i hope you weren’t missing me too much like you were missing baskets.” 

at her text message, he quickly pulls out his deodorant, glad that he’d listened to some of his sister’s advice and carried it around with him. it’s not like soobin smells, but if it’s between sweat and smelling like fresh cinnamon in front of the girl he likes, he’d definitely choose smelling fresh.

likes.

wait.

did soobin like mina?

that thought alone has him furrowing his brows. after spraying himself with deodorant he grabs at the ball and immediately attempts at shooting hoops. he misses a few, but he’ll probably keep that to himself. it’s then when he hears a voice calling out to him. familiar and warm, and he feels it –– the little jump in his chest. the dugeun dugeuns according to his sister. whatever. what did she know? she’s 12. 

turning around he sees mina, and it’s natural when a smile forms on his face. he forgets about the ball, now a few feet away from him, as he walks closer to her. “hi,” he says, and his smile only grows wider. she’s so pretty, he thinks. and it’s something he’s always known, but it feels different now. now that he’s acknowledged that her face is enough to give him butterflies, or moths or whatever in his stomach.

“i’ll have you know that i didn’t miss any shots,” a lie. but he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of her. “aren’t you the one that misses me? we just met the other day and you already want to see me again,” he teases. though he doesn’t deny the fact that he does miss her, and he does want to see her more often. “what did you want to meet for?” he asks, “and why… here? did you want to learn basketball from the one and only professional, choi soobin, or something?”
