19: BASKETBALL

***R O S É

"Welcome--omo! Yah! Park Roseanne!"

"Annie!"

I jumped at my good friend Annie and we both jump on circle as we hugged each other. She is a very dear friend classmate of mine in middle school in Australia. She is half australian and half korean who is passionate about fashion.

"Yah! Who is he? You're boyfriend?" Annie asked as she walked over to Yoda.

I laughed at how her height almost reach Chanyeol Oppa's elbow, Annie is the smallest in our batch but she's cute and pretty naive. They say she's weird because she only has eyes for fashion but not interested in celebrities such as k-pop idols. I am proud to be known by her and to be her model here in her boutique.

"Wow.. you have a nice taste!" Annie even clapped her hand.

My cheeks reddened but I don't want to deny her words. Let her misunderstood or let Chanyeol Oppa to deny it. I just.. can't deny it because that's what I wanted.

"We want to buy disguise clothes. Where are my favorites?" I asked Annie as I looked around the new stuffs on her boutique.

"I'll get it!" Annie said enthusiastically.

I smiled at her colorful sketches that is placed on the frames and her many wonderful clothes on every manequines. I looked back at Chanyeol Oppa and saw him staring at my standee which is my predebut picture with a black hair and bangs wearing Annie's first clothing design.

"Why do I feel like we've met before Chipmunk?" Chanyeol Oppa asked.

I walked over to him and stared at my standee.. more like my past self. Yeah.. I wanted to say, we've met before. I hugged you before. I watched you perform even before the whole world knew about you and exo.

It is still vivid on my mind, Chanyeol Oppa holding that banner with a 'free hug' written on it just for people to watch them perform.

Exo really paved the way.

I'm proud to say that I have watch them since the start. I've been their fan, his fan since the beginning. I look up at Chanyeol Oppa and our eyes met, I guess he is the only one who is embedded on my mind eversince we first time we met but I am not on his.

"Here it is!" Annie said and happily guided me to the girls dressing room.

I picked a brown wig to cover up my blonde hair, I also wore a spec and a high school uniform topped with a brown hoody jacket.

"Omo!" Annie gasped. "You guys look like a cute high school couple!" She clapped.

I bit my lower lip to stifle a smile as a pink blush crept on my cheeks. Chanyeol Oppa is wearing a male high school uniform topped with a dark brown hoody jacket that is matched with mine. I can't believe we get to go out like this!

Like a high school date that I never got because I've never been interested in boys when I was in high school.

I am happy that I get to have the chance to relieve being a high school student with my high school celebrity idol/crush being with me and not only in my imagination anymore..

"This is your university in highschool?" I asked Chanyeol Oppa.

"Yup. This used to be my home." He said with a glint of bliss on his eyes.

Mine was in Australia so we couldn't go there. I look up at the huge school and to all the students busy with their own circle of friends. I smiled, realizing how no one even notice.that me and Chanyeol Oppa are not really a part of this community.

"What is your favorite place in school?" I asked him as we went on walking around the school grounds.

He looked at me. "Do you want to go there Chipmunk?"

I nodded and he lead me to the basketball court. I guess every boy's first love is indeed basketball and Chanyeol Oppa is not an exception.

"Woah.." I clapped in amazement when he shot the ball in three points.

"Come here chipmunk."

"Uh.. I'm good here." I said shyly as I straightened on my sit in the bleachers.

I am more on cheerleading than playing balls even though they said my height would be a good advantage in playing basketball and volleyball while my long legs could be of used on football.

Chanyeol Oppa grinned and then walked towards me with the ball on his hands. "Come on.. let's play."

He said and gently pulled my hand to go to the court with him and because I am soft for him, I give in.

"I don't how to play." I pouted when I tried to dribble the ball but miserably failed.

I heard Chanyeol Oppa's laugh so I glared at him. He grab the ball and dribble it as if he is a pro-basketball player. Psh. Show off. He then grinned and winked at me before in one jump, he shot the ball.

That was kinda hot but no way I am admitting that.

I grab the ball and tried to shoot but it didn't even hit the basket! This ball have a favoritism huh? Chanyeol Oppa laughed until his body is already on the ground. I pouted and tried again to shoot the ball but it bounced back, almost hitting Chanyeol Oppa that unfortunately managed to dodged it.

He grabbed the ball and handed it to me. I heave a sigh and got it as I was about to shoot it again when I felt him behind me. His hand positioning my arm as I can feel his hot breathing on my neck.

My breathing hitch because of our sudden closeness.

Please heart.. calm down.

"Focus on the net Rosé-ssi." His raspy voice whispered on my ear.

I gulped and tried so hard to focus on the net. If someone could see us right now I am pretty sure that they would think we are hugging.. that Chanyeol Oppa is hugging me from the back.

"W-What would I get if I shoot it?"

Great question Park Chaeyoung. Considering that I have always failed in shooting the ball.

I heard Chanyeol Oppa's chuckle, we are still on the same position for a moment. "Tell me what you want then Chipmunk."

And I don't know if that was the reason of my sudden determination. I focused on the net and tried to loosen my stiffness then with one swift push of my wrist.. as if on slow motion.. the ball shoot on the net!

"Oh my gosh!" The sudden happiness consumed my chest.

I squealed. I jumped. And then the next thing I knew I run towards Chanyeol Oppa then hugged him tight. "I shoot it! Waaah! I did it!"

"Wow.. you're a fast learner Chipmunk!" Chanyeol Oppa said and that's when I realized that I am now squeezing the life out of him!

I quickly get off him and I heard his chuckle. I coughed and then look away out of embarrassment..

"So.. uhm.. I shoot it!" I said.

"Uhuh.." he urged..

"I want to eat on the school cafeteria." I said because I am already hungry and I don't really have anything in mind when I asked him of what I could get if I manages to shoot the ball.

I continue to look away because I felt awkward because of my sudden hug on him when I felt a handkerchief gently wiping the sweat on my face. My jaw dropped as my heart thumped heavily inside my chest when my eyes met Chanyeol Oppa's handsome face only centimeters away from mine, he is gently wipe the sweat on my forehead..

And here I thought I wouldn't fall any harder..

He smiled, "and here I am thinking that you would ask for me to be your slave. Let's go, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything except avocado." I said as I walk beside him.

Chanyeol Oppa chuckles. "What if the menu only consist of avocado?"

I grimaced.. "b-but I don't want avocado."

He pinched my cheeks lightly, one of his silly hobbies around me. "Okay then.. no avocado for my Master Chipmunk."

We are walking away from the exit of the basketball court when I heard a the ball bounced. My brows furrowed as I look back.. seeing a slight shadow on the floor that is peeking on the exit door but then when I blink, the shadow is gone.

I am sure that only me and Chanyeol Oppa are the only persons inside the court.. so what is that?

"Chipmunk?" Chanyeol Oppa called.

Maybe I am just really hungry. I shrugged my shoulders as I follow Chanyeol Oppa lead the way towards the cafeteria.
