Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover

 

"I feel like a fool" Yunho said, as he raked his wet hair with a towel, casually making his way to the gym locker area and propped himself in one of the nearby benches situated in the centre. At this point, he was still half with his boxers on and a white towel covering his pedunda, showing off his glorifying abs that every girl must have killed to see; alongside with the rest of the swim team members who are just starting to get out from their fast showers, looking fresh as ever.     They had just finished with their annual Wednesday practices before school and are now supposedly getting ready to go to to their respective classes, but his five other friends- Jaejoong, Yoochun, Changmin and Junsu took longer as usual, giving him the time he needed to let out his mini drama in his head.      "Thinking of Kim Hyoyeon again?" One of the spiky blackheads, Jaejoong or he supposed to call Hero just came in right in time to hear him speak of his rant as he opened up his locker and started fixing his hair- first things foremost, ushering  a simple wink towards him to signify his presence. He was a real friend, Yunho had thought as he saw the look of understanding in the lads eyes that either meant that he got what he was about to say or perhaps read the thoughts that is running down through his head- for almost a few weeks... or to be more specific, for fourteen months now.     "I've been trying..." Yunho grunted, ignoring the latters question as he replaced it with his morning ramblings. "I've been doing the best that I could for her to notice me but none of it are working. She still haven't noticed anything that I've been doing and it's frustrating the hell out of me!" he whined, almost sounding like a lovesick puppy.      He heard a low chuckle from the back, whom he oppose was coming from no other than Yoochun. The lad patted him by the shoulder and stood beside him, just as expose as he is. "Those hallway accidents that you've been doing still didn't work out?" he asked in a cynister manner, as if it wasn't obvious enough. Yunho couldn't do anything else but to only cower down and shake his head in dissapointment, following it with a long sigh.      "What about those bribes... erm, I mean methods that we used with the girls? What's their name again? Kwon Sooyoung and Choi Yuri?" Jaejoong wondered out loud, only to get mocking cackles on the side who were obviously caused by Changmin and Junsu- the brown haired ones. He raised his eyebrow to question them, only to realize that he got the names mixed up the next second.     "Don't tell me, they haven't given you any information about her yet... or else our efforts would have been for nothing." Changmin proposed, showing off his trademark smile.      "They've been keeping me updated about her schedules and have been a look out if she has any interest with any other guys but so far, they said she has none." Yunho assured them, his relief evident on his voice. "Yuri told me she has been keeping the notes I've been secretly dropping off her locker after school too, although I'm not sure if it's only out of courtesy or because of the cherry flavoured lollipops included in it."      He bitterly chuckled.
