Chapter 10: Association Football

[WooHyun POV]

"Rise and shine, boys!" Ms. Lee sang down the hallway.

The smell of food immediately opened my eyes.

"I want food~!" I called out.

Wow, I never thought I would live to hear myself say that... Being a human surprises me everyday...

---

"What is this food called?" I pointed on my plate.

"That's bacon and that's eggs."

E-E-Eggs?! As in those things that birds put in my branches?! I held my head in surprise, causing SungYeol and Hoya to laugh.

"Do you not like eggs?" Ms. Lee blinked.

"N-No!! I just... Never ate them before..."

"Really? There were eggs in the cake I made last night, though."

"Ehh?!" I screeched.

Oh, I am so sorry my dear birds, for betraying you like this... But a human has to live...

I took a bite of the cooked egg and my eyes widened.

"Mmm!!" I let out before quickly covering my mouth in betrayal.

Sincerely sorry, my dear birds...

I was walking to my Pre-Calculus class when I heard a voice.

"Yo, WooHyun, wassup~"

I turned around and saw the football team come towards me.

"Ah, hello, fellow friends!" I waved.

"So, did you consider joining the football team?" The captain TaeWoon said with a lollipop in his mouth..

"Oh, yes! I would like to try out to be on the team!"

"Awesome, tryouts are after school. You better be there."

"Oh, of course!" I flashed a smile.

"Then, what is the value of x if..."

I found myself slowly dozing off to the sound of the teacher's voice. I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"You should sit up before the teacher sees you," SungGyu whispered as he continued to take notes.

I wiped my eyes and tried to shake myself awake.

"Do you want to visit the cat cafe with SungYeol, MyungSoo, and I after school?" SungGyu asked.

"Nah, can't. I have football tryouts," I gleamed.

"Association football? You? Do you even know the rules of football!"

"Well, there's always time for learning."

"Oh, gosh, WooHyun... Well, good luck."

"Thanks!"

The teacher tapped on our desks and hushed us. We laughed under our breaths.

The last bell rang, and I immediately ran to the school field. Other guys started to flood in, too, and suddenly, I just felt like one fish in the sea. Gosh, will I even get on the team?!

"Hey, so thank you everyone for coming out to try out to be on the men's footbal
