After what seemed like the first meeting of his brother and his future wife for Luhan, it certainly wasn't like that for them at all. Even if it is one hundred percent true how it's their first meeting after years of secretly avoiding each other--through text and calls--it was probably already their nth time ever since they first met.

Chanyeol and Hyerin, the school's used to be hottest couple. How they fell in love was pretty much all the cheesy things you see in a romance movie squished together to form one dramatic love story.

It all started in their school's soccer field. Chanyeol was badly injured after getting kicked on his shin from the opposing team and it somehow ended up with him spraining his ankle. His team decided to pause the game and let their best player take a break. It turns out that Luhan was also watching the game from afar--since he was from a different high school, Luhan didn't want to be seen. As much as Luhan wanted to be in the same school as his brother, his grades weren't enough for him to get accepted. The other way to get in was illegal and that would be with using the parents' money. Luhan thought that he'd rather die than having to get into a school by cheating, so in the end Luhan went to the second best high school in Seoul. He spent his first high school year just like any other teenage boy. Even if Minseok wasn't in the same high school as Sehun and Luhan, they would sometimes meet up and hang out just like their middle school days.

Without thinking twice, Luhan immediateley ran up to his hyung's aid and they went to the infirmary with Chanyeol's arm slung over Luhan's shoulder, limping with each step he took. They came into the room and saw that the nurse was currently speaking on the phone. When she saw the two boys walking in, she sent them a small but clear gesture for Chanyeol to lie on the bed. He was still wincing in pain when he placed his head onto the soft pillow. Chanyeol couldn't hold in the pain any longer so he sat back up and pressed his ankle to ease the pain by putting more pressure onto it.

"Don't tell me you're skipping class." Chanyeol said with a worried look on his face. Despite the pain he was feeling on the bottom part of his body, Chanyeol still couldn't stop worrying about his brother. 

"About that hyung," Luhan looked away as he starts rubbing his nape, "I couldn't help it. I had to watch you play your last game before your team retires to prepare for the senior year finals."

Chanyeol chuckled softly to himself before moving his gaze to the closed curtain in front of him. "I'm really thankful that you came just to watch me but--owww--don't skip classes again, alright?"

Luhan smiled lopsidedly and replied to his hyung with a small nod. "I guess I'd better get back then."

"Thanks, Luhan."

After sending another brotherly glance at his hyung, Luhan disappeared behind the curtains and out of the room. Just then, the nurse came back with a few papers in her hand, but Chanyeol had a feeling those papers weren't for checking his sprained ankle.

"I'm sorry Chanyeol-ssi. I won't be the one taking care of you today. There is something I need to do." The middle-aged lady seemed as if she was in rush, so before she left, Chanyeol got the chance to ask her who was going to take care of him.

"She's a freshman at this school, and she volunteered to help me with my work sometimes. But don't worry, she knows what she's doing. Wait just a little bit, okay? I will call her." The nurse sent Chanyeol a half convincing smile before leaving him alone in the plain white, air-conditioned room.

After minutes of doing nothing other than trying to forget about the pain happening on his foot, the person he was waiting for came inside.

The first thought that came across Chanyeol's mind the moment he saw the girl appear in his sight was how beautiful she was--but she somehow looked familiar to him. After observing every inch of her face, Chanyeol finally remembered, she's the daughter of the minister, his dad's friend.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Chanyeol sunbaenim. My name is Lee Hyerin and I'll be replacing Mrs. Kim for today." The girl said with a soft voice. Chanyeol thought the way she said it was extremely cute. How she bowed down making her bangs cover her eyes as she brought herself back up, how her eyes would flutter beautifully because of how shy she was and just her well being was somehow enough for Chanyeol to forget the pain he was feeling a few minutes ago.

Chanyeol didn't realize he was staring at the girl in front of him until she coughed awkwardly. "O-oh, annyeonghaseyo."

Chanyeol swore he saw a very, very shade of pink appear on her cheeks. Or maybe he was just seeing things. "May I?" Hyerin gestured her hand at his sprained ankle asking for permission first before she does her thing.

After clearing his throat, Chanyeol fixed himself up on the bed and sent her a small nod in reply. She walked up to him after placing the clipboard on the table beside the bed. And after heaving a big breath, Hyerin started checking Chanyeol's ankle putting pressure on a few places while asking if it hurts.

"Does it hurt here?"

"Aniyo."

She moved her palm to another part of his ankle and Chanyeol immediateley started wincing in pain. Hyerin pursed her lips together when she knew where it hurt the most. She took the clipboard and started writing a few notes. It didn't seem like it was a lot so Chanyeol hoped that his sprain wasn't too serious.

"You'll probably be needing to use crutches for a few days to rest your ankle. Make sure to ice it daily for 20-30 minutes and don't force yourself to stand up if it still hurts." After saying those words, Hyerin bit her bottom lip. This was the first time ever Chanyeol couldn't stop thinking about her perfectly shaped lips. "I'll get you an ice-pack, keep it on for around half an hour."

"O-okay." Chanyeol's heartbeat was going crazy, and he wasn't foreign with this feeling anymore. He watched her take every step towards the fridge with a smile on his face. The moment she turned back, Chanyeol tried to hide his smile, but it felt like it wasn't working.

She gently placed the ice-pack above Chanyeol's swollen ankle without realizing that the boy was staring at her with eyes full of adoration. She looked back up at Chanyeol and he quickly averted his gaze. "Sunbaenim, what class are you taking at the moment? I will inform your homeroom teacher that you can't take your classes right now."

"I'm in 12-B. My homeroom teacher is Mrs. Lee." Hyerin nodded in understanding before making her way out of the room. But when she was still in his sight, Chanyeol managed to slip out another word.

"Thank you, L-lee Hyerin." Normally people would ask themselves why they're stuttering, but Chanyeol didn't have to ask anything. He already knew the answer. Hyerin turned her head and smiled softly in reply before closing the door behind her.

Chanyeol laid his head down on the pillow, and his heartbeat didn't seem like it was going to get even any minute. He sighed dreamily as his thoughts started wondering about the girl he just met. As cliche as it may sound, Chanyeol know he fell in love with her the first time he landed eyes on her.

After what happened in the infirmary, Chanyeol started stalking the girl almost everyday because of how much he wanted to find out more about her. Even though Hyerin never said a thing about it to Minyoung, Hyerin knew that she has a major stalker in the school and his name is Park Chanyeol. Pretty much everyone around them knew too--naming mostly the girls. Since Chanyeol was popular at school, he had many fans, and some were known to be a little bit overprotective with their so called 'oppa'. Everyday passed by with Hyerin being called names, paper thrown at her i
