Chapter 3

 

Yuri, Jaejoong, Yunho and Hyukjae all sat on the bleachers as the rest of the class were entering. Yuri was right next to Jaejoong as he was informing her of everything she needed to do. Yunho was on her other side while Hyukjae was next to Yunho who were chatting with each other.

 

"We usually start with a running exercise so you might not have any problems with that considering your background and then we usually play a game of either basketball or football. We choose our teams and then we play until whoever wins. Then we might do some push up, sit ups, that's the usual routine."

 

Yuri was amazed. They really took sports in this school seriously, "It was different in Neunggok high. Exercise was more limited." Yuri said, starting up a conversation.

 

"Well, there were girls involved so of course they would make it easier." Jaejoong said, smirking 'Who the hell does he think he is?!' Yuri thought, narrowing her eyes.

 

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Yuri asked casually.

 

"All the girls I have dated have all been pansies. They didn't want to play for fear of breaking their nails or the hair tangling, their clothes dirtying. I tried to teach my ex but she didn't bother. She only pretended to like it because I did. So, in my eyes, I have only ever seen girls who are more interested in themselves than hobbies." Jaejoong said, shrugging.

 

Hearing what Jaejoong said, Yuri's eyes softened as she nodded once, "I can't blame you. I think that way, too. Some girls can be egocentric and lie to please but not all girls are like that. You just have to wait until you find a girl who you think you can click well with." Yuri said, feeling bad for the guy. Jaejoong looked like a really nice and friendly person to be around. Yeah, maybe he only talks about basketball most of the time but it's something he loves and wants to share with someone. To be honest, any girl who is with Jaejoong should be lucky that they have someone as happy, enthusiastic and passionate as him, especially a man with such a kind nature.

 

"It isn't that easy." Jaejoong said, looking at her, smiling before looking down at the floor.

 

Yuri was just about to say something when the PE teacher walked in, blowing a whistle, "Okay boys. All of you come down here and start your place for the eight minute warm up outside."

 

Yuri followed Jaejoong and the others and turned to Yunho since she needed to start her plan of befriending him so she started a conversation, "So, why do we have to run outside? Why not in the gym?"

 

Yunho shrugged as he shoved his hands in his pockets, "People who are demons like myself and Jaejoong, when we run, we run, we don't just jog but we give it our all so instead of trampling everybody else, if we are outside we can run however far and fast we had like without worrying about other people."

 

Yuri nodded. However, she couldn't help but feel that usual pain in her chest as she spoke with Yunho. God, did she hate him but miss him at the same time. As they walked, she could see his feature shinning, his hair moving with the wind and his... 'No Yuri, you came here because you hate him. He dumped you because of a stupid reason and you need to get your revenge but it's not easy to forget a three year relationship.' Yuri thought, sighing sadly and walked out into the fields.

 

Soon, they were all outside and Yuri could see everybody getting in separate lines as they were getting ready to run. Yuri turned to her right and looked at the field. It was huge. You could fit another whole school here. It was a whole piece of gigantic land nicely trimmed and kept in perfect condition and then she spotted another class. They looks like newbies. She squinted her eyes as she noticed...Xiumin? Yes, Xiumin.

 

Yuri waved and whistle which she knew he would recognize. Xiumin instantly spotted Yuri and grinned happily as he waved back. Yuri then winked as Xiumin nodded and winked back.

 

Tapping Yeonseok on the shoulder, Jaejoong asked, "Hey, you know him?"

 

Yuri froze. What was she supposed to say? Oh, god. Oh, god. She was dead then she said the first thing that came to her head.

 

"He's the little brother of a friend of mine. I hang out with him a lot. He was happy when he heard I was transferring here." 'Phew, nice one.'

 

Jaejoong nodded and smiled, "Ready to run? You haven't run in ages."

 

"Yeah, I think I am." Yuri said, looking down at the white lines on the grass and remembered all her memories from primary school when she would run everyday. However, it all changed when she met Yunho. She didn't have time to run and eventually, forgot about it. This was a piece of her past that she was regaining back.

 

Jaejoong found Yeonseok fascinating and saw the emotions in his eyes as Yeonseok looked down at the ground and smiled as he carried on admiring his roommate. He was so different. He was short, somewhat lanky for a guy but he had a unique personality, a fiery but sometimes weird attitude and a real love for running. Jaejoong instantly knew they had be good friends, "Well, just try your best and don't push yourself to be what you uses to be. You haven't practiced in a while so it's natural."

 

Yuri smiled up at him. Jaejoong really was a gentle soul under all that rough exterior. Yunho and Hyukjae came up next to them as Yunho nudged her with his arm, "Ready to run?" He asked, smirking.

 

She swallowed as she saw his smiled and just looked away and nodded, "Yeah, I am." She said, and realized she was being really cold towards him. So far, her plan was failing and she wasn't really befriending him. More like treating him like a piece of ! Which he is, in her opinion but she needed a solid plan. She needed to come up with something good that would allow her to take out her revenge on him properly. Then she realized the teacher was talking.

 

"Alright everybody. I know you all must have enjoyed your summer but now, its back to hardwork and dedication I'm afraid. Now, three laps around the field. On your mark, get set, go." He said, blowing the whistle and before she knew it, Jaejoong and Yunho were already in front of everybody by a good distance. She saw how Jaejoong's arms and long legs flexed with every step he took. Sometimes, she would lose track of him and Yunho as they whipped past her two times in the blink of an eye. Yunho? She would remember all the times she would sit by the field and see him practice his running when they were together. Yuri sighed as she carried on jogging, trying to forget those memories. She then noticed that after they all finished the first lap, Jaejoong and Yunho were on the sidelines, lying down on their back and chuckling as their chests were moving quickly. She saw them high five and how happy both friends were as they drank their water and did some handshake, 'Damn, did I space out that much?!'

 

That's when she realized just how far behind she was. In order to prove to him that she wasn't weak, in order to prove it, she needed to push myself, she needed to beat everybody else. She would show him exactly how strong someone who is tiny and with a feminine body can be.

 

Closing her eyes, Yuri tried to block out all the noise around her and soon, the noise was fading and little by little, she heard less and less footsteps, less and less talking until eventually, all she could hear was the wind. Slowly, her eyes and she noticed that all she saw was the field and herself. She heard her steps as her feet hit the ground hard, denting the perfectly trimmed grass, 'I can do this. I will do this.' Yuri thought, smirking and in one swift second, Yuri ran to all her potential and soon, she was right in front of everybody by a good distance. All she felt was the rhythm of her feet touching the ground and her rhythmic breathing. The wind was hitting her body, making her run even faster to beat the force of nature.

 

Yuri pushed even harder and soon, she was on her last lap.

 

Jaejoong's eyes were wide opened as he looked at Yeonseok, 'Wow, look at him go.' Jaejoong thought, looking to see how Yeonseok was doing out of curiosity and noticed how he closed his eyes for a brief second as if he was concentrating on something and before he knew it, Yeonseok was already on his last lap, way ahead of the rest. He saw how his legs and arms were moving with rhythm, how his breathing was even and how his eyes only looked forward. Those eyes that were filled with so much determination. He never saw anybody with such an intense look in their eyes as he did at that very moment. Soon, Yeonseok finished his lap while everyone was on their last, 'You did it Yeonseok.' Jaejoong thought happily, jumping up as he jogged over to him. Yunho was also studying Yeonseok and noticed how he was almost just as fast as him. How could such a lanky person be so fast was beyond him? Smirking, he too, stood up and walked over to him, thinking 'He was amazing.'

 

Yuri was panting. She couldn't believe it. She did it. She actually did it. However, she easily fell to the ground on her back and started breathing heavily, 'Damn, I probably overdid it though!'

 

Soon, she heard footsteps and saw dark brown hair and noticed it was Jaejoong. She sat up and checked her wig to make sure it wasn't out-of-place. Thank god it wasn't. She then turned to see Jaejoong sit on the grass next to her.

 

"You did it. I knew you had do good but wow man, you were awesome. You should join the track team." Jaejoong said to her happily.

 

"Guess you can't say I'm a shorty now, eh?" Yuri said, smirking as she giggled lightly, trying to catch her breath. Jaejoong didn't know why but when he laughed, he felt a warm feeling in his chest for a split second before it disappear. He noticed his face and how it looked too perfect for a guy. His complexion was practically perfect and it looked so soft. He noticed how he doesn't have much muscle in his arms but hey, he was a runner and he was a fighter. Jaejoong ignored that warm feeling and instead, punched Yeonseok playfully in the arm, "Guess I can't. Doesn't mean you aren't a shorty though."

 

Yuri punched him back, using more strength but it was useless. The guy was practically all muscle. Jaejoong just chuckled and ruffled his hair. Yuri was scared that the wig might fall off but thankfully, she clipped it on well. She noticed how his eyes were on her and how he was smiling happily at her. Suddenly, Yuri felt a warm feeling in her stomach and didn't know what it was.

 

Jaejoong stopped what he was doing and cleared his throat before standing up, "Come on, shorty. Were not done yet." Yuri nodded and was about to get up but not before she saw Jaejoong's outstretched hand. Smiling, she grabbed it as Jaejoong easily pulled her up, "Damn, your really lightweighted. No wonder you can run fast."

 

Yuri smiled in gratitude and then heard the teacher coming closer, "Hey kid, what's your name?"

 

"Yeonseok Kwon."

 

The teacher smirked and nodded, "Of course you. I like you. You really blew my mind out there. For a human, your fast." Yuri then was turned from left to right as the PE teacher was checking her up and down, "You look scrawny but you will do fine. If you want to join the track team, I will be more than happy to have you."

 

"I will think about it." Yuri said, smiling.

 

"Good. Now, come on inside. Were not done yet."

 

Jaejoong turned to her and said, "See, told you. You should really join."

 

Before Yuri could answer, Yunho and Hyukjae came up. Yunho spoke first as he punched Yuri in the shoulder, "How the hell did you run that fast all of a sudden, man? You were awesome."

 

', that hurts!' Yuri thought, grabbing her shoulder, "Just blocked out the noise and people. A technique I uses to uses." Yuri said, smiling. She needed to be his friend. She needed, too.

 

"I like you. Well, let's get going then." Yunho said, smiling as he and Jaejoong raced towards the gym.

 

Hyukjae came up to Yuri and ruffled his hair also, 'I thought guys didn't touch their hair much, Heechul Oppa!' Yuri thought, grumbling "Wow, you already have Jaejoong and Yunho admiring you. That's hard to do. It takes a lot to even get them to acknowledge you. You were amazing by the way. Sorry, we didn't get to talk much before." Hyukjae said gently.

 

"I'm happy we are talking now." Yuri said, smiling. She liked Hyukjae. He looked like the calm and relaxed kind of guy. He was also very polite which Yuri liked.

 

"Race you to the gym?" Hyukjae asked, smirking.

 

Yuri chuckled like she was taught to, not to girly, "Your on." And like that, Hyukjae and her raced with Yuri winning.

 

"Alright boys. Now, we are going to play a little game of football for half an hour. Whoever loses will have to do fifty push ups and eighty sit-ups. Team who wins, do thirty push ups and fifty sit ups. Alright, shirts and skins." The teacher said, before blowing the whistle and all the men were in line, including herself as she was getting squished by all the people.

 

'Oh, !' Yuri thought, eyes widening when she realized she was standing in line and kept shaking, 'Please let me be shirt? Please god, if your up there or if you even exists, let me be a shirt?'

 

The teacher pointed to Jaejoong who was next to her as a skin and her as a shirt making Yuri sighed happily, 'Thank god.' However, she saw Yunho was a skin also and when the teacher blew the whistle again, all the guys who were skins started taking off their shirts.

 

Yuri was blushing horribly as she covered her eyes. Peeking through her long fingers, Yuri saw a bunch of half- guys, laughing and walking around with no problem. Most of them had the shirts over their shoulders, some with tattoos all over there shoulders and back. Heck, even the arms. Yuri closed her eyes again, as she saw Jaejoong standing in front of her, shirtless.

 

"Hey, got something in your eyes, man?" Jaejoong asked, confused.

 

Yuri froze and instantly, put her hands down by her side, "Y...Yeah. They were just itchy. S...Still tired from l...lack of sleep." 'Jeez Yuri, stop stuttering. Its not like you haven't seen a half- guy before. Well, at least not this many.' Jaejoong shrugged and patted Yeonseok's back before pushing him forward, "Well, guess I'm playing against you, shorty." Jaejoong said jokingly.

 

Yuri instantly forgot about her embarrassment and nodded once as she chuckled lightly, trying so hard not to look down, "I may be short but I'm full of surprises."

 

"I guess you are." Jaejoong said, chuckling.

 

Yunho came up to them, along with Hyukjae. Yuri couldn't help but feel her heart race as she saw Yunho shirtless. She remembered touching that chest of his, kissing his neck and chest. Yuri felt pain in her heart at the reminder that he wasn't hers anymore but she didn't want to feel like this. She wanted to forget about him and make him pay for what he did to her. She would be strong. She didn't go through all this trouble for nothing.

 

So, with that in mind, Yuri swallowed her pain and spoke, "Hey. Guess I'm against you this time."

 

"Yeah, but no doubt with that speed of yours, you could tackle either one of us with no problem." Yunho said, chuckling while Jaejoong nodded in agreement.

 

"Guess it's our turn to be a team." Hyukjae said, giving Yuri a high-fived.

 

Yuri nodded and got into position with everybody else. She had no idea about football and all Hyukjae told her was that she was in charge of trying to tackle the ball out of the striker. Yuri nodded, in other words, try to steal the ball from whoever had it, that was her logic. Yuri thought it was simple enough but when the teacher blew the whistle, she was instantly shoved to the ground. Her petite form was too weak against huge muscle boys. She was instantly helped up by Hyukjae as she thanked him before trying to not get trampled.

 

Soon, she saw Jaejoong with the ball. He was right next to her so she did her best but failed miserably since she was once again, pushed to the ground. The teacher blew the whistle and went towards Yuri.

 

"You okay?"

 

"Yeah, sorry." Yuri said, getting back up.

 

Jaejoong walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey, you alright, man?"

 

"Yeah, I'm fine." Yuri said, smiling.

 

Soon, they went back to playing. Yuri either kept falling, getting hit with the ball or just failed miserably at tackling. Soon, after half an hour, Yuri wobbled over to the bleachers and sat down in one of them. God, did her body ache, 'This is definitely harder than I thought.' She thought, touching her aching shoulders and legs and could already see bruises appearing. Dropping her head, she sighed heavily as she rubbed her eyes. Soon, she was joined by Jaejoong.

 

"Hey Yeonseok, you alright? You got beat up pretty harshly out there." Jaejoong asked worriedly.

 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just never really played football and...yeah. You were amazing though. You took the ball every time. You stole it with eases and you protected it well. Not to mention, your goals were amazing." Yuri said, smiling before her eyes widened as she shut up.

 

'! Rule number four, act like a boy, don't compliment.'

 

Jaejoong, however, blushed a little. Many times, Yunho or Hyukjae would tell him that he was good and his coach had complimented him many times but for some reason, when Yeonseok complimented him, it felt different. He liked it but he mainly liked how he didn't show any of his injuries. Jaejoong could already tell a few bruises but Yeonseok didn't say anything. He battled it out there without so much as a complaint. Nodding, Jaejoong looked down at the ground.

 

"Thanks."

 

"No need." Yuri said, shaking her head then realized just how thirsty she was and remembered she hadn't brought water with her.

 

"What's wrong?" Jaejoong asked, hearing her groaning a little.

 

"I'm thirsty and I forgot my water." Yuri said, sighing.

 

"Got you covered." Jaejoong said, smirking before walking towards his nylon fern color 'strand' duffel bag that was on the floor by the bleachers and grabbed a bottle of water and threw it at her. Yuri caught it easily and smiled.

 

"You sure?" She asked, for extra measure.

 

Nodded, Jaejoong said, "Go for it."

 

Yuri smiled and finished the water, sighing happily after. Standing up, she threw it back at him, "Thanks, man." And with that, she limped a little as she walked down to join the rest of the class for the last warmup. Her team had lost so she was stuck doing fifty push ups and eighty sit ups, 'Great. Just what I needed.' Yuri thought, groaning "Alright you losers. Do fifty push ups and eighty sit ups, no excuses. Then your all dismissed to the showers and off to your second lesson."

 

Yuri sat down by the mats and noticed how Jaejoong, Yunho and Hyukjae were on the other side, leaving her alone. Yuri sighed and laid her head on her knees, 'Why? Why do I keep freezing every time I'm near Yunho Oppa? I thought...I thought...I thought I was over him?' Yuri felt a tear wanting to escape but she just it up and tried to do her push ups which she failed miserable by falling on her stomach five times. Her arms were in pain and when she turned to see how Jaejoong and the others were doing, she saw that they were already done other than Hyukjae who was still trying to finish his.

 

Soon, the teacher blew the whistle, "Alright. Well done on your first day boys, now hit the showers."

 

"The showers?" Yuri said, confused for a second before her eyes widened, ", the showers!"

 

Jaejoong walked over to her and pointed with his head, "Come on Yeonseok, I will show you where they are."

 

'! ! ! What do I do?' Yuri thought, eyes widening, "Um...I...I need to grab my shampoo and stuff. I l...left it in the dorms." 'Good Yuri. You will just shower there and run back here.'

 

"You can uses mine, I don't mind. It will save you the trouble." Jaejoong said, raising his eyebrows.

 

Shaking her head, Yuri said, "T...The ones I have are specially made. You see, I have a...uh, cases of capsa, so yeah. I will be back." And with that, Yuri ran out of the gym and straight for the dorms.

 

Jaejoong looked back and was confused but got interrupted by Yunho and Hyukjae, "Hey man, where's Yeonseok?" Yunho asked.

 

"Went to the dorms to get something. Let's get going."

 

Yuri got to the dorms in record time and quickly took off her gym clothes before carefully taking off her wig. Putting the shower level on moderately hot, Yuri jumped in. After her shower which took eight minutes or so, she walked out and carefully tied her hair up in a clip tightly before grabbing her wig and slowly put it on, clipping it to make sure it didn't move. Smiling, she then reached out for her binder before quickly rolling it around her tightly. After it was successfully put on, Yuri grabbed her uniform on and fell over everywhere as she hopped around the room, trying to get changed.

 

Soon, Yuri managed to button up her blazer and straighten her tie before adding a lot of perfume and deodorant to hide her scent. Nodding to herself when she saw that everything was in place, she grabbed her duffel bag with all her documentation and ran out, hoping she could make it in time before Jaejoong was dressed. She got to the gym showers since she spotted the steam coming out of the room and took huge gulps of breaths as she leaned against the wall, waiting for him. Yuri took in one huge breath before letting it go. Soon, boys started to leave the showers, fully dressed and washed. Yuri tried to find dark brown hair and when she did, she breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed how his school uniform looked on him. His white shirt was untucked from the beige school trousers and his tie was hanging loosely around his neck. He had his blazer hung over his shoulder and instantly, she knew he was the popular bad boy type.

 

Jaejoong spotted Yeonseok already dressed and from his nose, showered already, "Hey Yeonseok, did you shower in the dorms?"

 

Yuri swallowed hard before nodding, "I thought I might as well then I could get it over and done with so we could just go." 'Come on, believe it.'

 

Jaejoong thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright, we have got science now so follow me." Yuri did just that and noticed how Yunho was heading the other way with Hyukjae. Yuri tried desperately not to run up to him and slap him. She hated how he was going on with his everyday life so happy and carefree and she was there, suffering in pain quietly. Yuri glared at his form and then turned back around to follow Jaejoong. She would forget him. She would get her sweet silent revenge and then leave without a trace, starting her life anew.

 

"Hey, you alright, man? I mean, after that work out, you seem pretty beat." Jaejoong asked worriedly.

 

"You have no idea." Yuri said, sighing. She was in pain all over. It was her first day and she already feels dead and beaten, "I have never done that much exercise in an hour at school. It was just running or jumping, not much." "Well, I'm sure you will get used to it." Jaejoong said, smiling.

 

'I don't think so.' Yuri thought, sighing.

 

Soon, they got a room which Yuri could see was the science room. Jaejoong turned to Yuri and smiled, "You can sit next to me if you want. The seat is empty and plus, since it's a new year, we might need to partner up."

 

"Thanks." Yuri said, surprised but smiled, 'Why is Jaejoong Oppa so sweet?'

 

"No problem. Come on." Jaejoong said, smiling back. Yuri followed Jaejoong to a couple of seats in the front. They both sat down and soon, many other students were entering and most waved or did a handshake with Jaejoong, all asking who the new kid was.

 

"Wow, you must be very popular. Either that or idolized a lot." Yuri said, shocked at how much attention he was getting.

 

"Usually, when you take part in team sports, you attract attention."

 

"Oh, so do you do it for the girls or something?" Yuri joked.

 

"I don't need to play to attract the girls. I automatically just do." Jaejoong said, smirking.

 

'Why that cocky?' Yuri sneered, "Well, now looks who's big-headed."

 

"No big headedness is when you think you are amazing at something, not when you know that you are." Jaejoong said, chuckling.

 

"Big-headed means arrogant or boastful and I think you just boasted, wouldn't you say?" Yuri said, smiling as she nudged him.

 

Jaejoong had to chuckle, "Damn, you sure know how to insult when you want to shorty."

 

"And you think shorty isn't an insult?"

 

"No, shorty is a fact. I'm just stating a fact." Jaejoong said, smiling.

 

Yuri had to laugh, 'Man, is he fun to talk, too. I don't remember Yunho Oppa being this easy to talk to.'

 

Jaejoong eyed Yeonseok before smiling a little, 'He is definetely one intriguing character.'

 

"Okay class. Settle down and welcome to science. Hope you all had a very nice summer."

 

Many students in the class groaned at that statement.

 

"Now, we have a new student. Kwon Yeonseok, if you will stand please?"

 

Yuri stood up, making all the guys looked at her, "This is Yeonseok, please give him a warm welcome." The class groaned a 'Hi', making the teacher rolled his eyes as he ordered Yuri to sit back down, "Now, onto the assignments and the information of the course for the rest of the year."

 

Sitting back down, Yuri turned to see a boy with short black hair staring at her, his brown, almond-shaped eyes never leaving hers. Jaejoong noticed Yeonseok looking somewhere and followed his gaze to Kibum.

 

"Oh yeah, Kim Kibum. He's known for being a straight A student. He's one of the clever ones and your stereotypical goodie to-shoes and because he's gay." Jaejoong said.

 

"What's wrong with being gay?" Yuri asked, confused.

 

"I don't know." Jaejoong said, shrugging "He gets bullied for that a lot though."

 

"Why?" Yuri asked, frowning "I have a gay friend and he's perfectly normal to me."

 

"I believe that too, but not everybody looks at it like we do."

 

Turning to Kibum, Yuri saw that his gaze was now on his desk. Frowning, she turned to looked at the front of the class.

 

Yuri threw herself onto her bed in contentment as all her muscles relaxed. She had just completed her very first day as Kwon Yeonseok. Yuri smiled, content as she snuggled her head into her pillow, 'Finally, I can relax.' Yuri thought happily.

 

"Your tired already? Man, you don't have much adrenaline in you, do you?" Jaejoong asked, chuckling as he sat down on the sofa.

 

"Sorry if I'm not up to your standards, Mr. I'm-full-of-adrenaline, but some people like to relax every once in a while." Yuri said, laughing.

 

"I'm not fussed." Jaejoong said, shrugging "Oh, I have got practice in half an hour so I will be out. You can do whatever you want. Once we finish lessons, we usually are free to do whatever until nine. That's when visits to other dorms are closed and you can't leave the premises except weekends. You can stay out for as long as you like." Sitting up, Yuri furrowed her eyebrows, "Thanks. Your already starting practice this early?" Jaejoong nodded, "Yeah. We were told to practice first day back. See, we have got the championships at the end of the year coming up and coach wants us to practice as soon as we come back."

 

"You won last year, right?" 'I remember seeing that game. I went to root on Yunho Oppa but I don't remember seeing Jaejoong Oppa.'

 

Nodding, Jaejoong smiled before asking, "How did you know that?"

 

"I heard in it Neunggok since our team lost." Yuri said, shrugging "Do you think you guys will win this year?" She added, smiling.

 

"Hell, yeah! There's no doubt about it. We are going to win just like last year." Jaejoong said, grinning.

 

Yuri smiled. She really did love the dedication and passion Jaejoong had for his team. She strongly admired the fact that he had so much confidence and trust in his team, "Seaside right? That's the team's name?" Of course Yuri knew but she had to act like she was new to all of this.

 

Jaejoong smiled as he nodded "Yeah, and I'm their number one player, second best is Yunho and the third is Hyukjae."

 

Yuri nodded, 'So, how come I didn't notice him last year? Maybe because you were so enamoured with Yunho Oppa, Yuri.' Yuri thought sadly, as she remembered Yunho. She just shook her head and tried to forget that memory. Right now, she needed to focus on her plan, 'That's it.' "Where are you guys practicing?" 'Maybe this is my time to study Yunho Oppa a little more.'

 

"In the gym. We have the basketball courts there. You probably didn't notice the hoops." Jaejoong said, as he changed out of his uniform.

 

'Oh, god. He's changing.' Yuri thought, lying back down on the bed quickly and turned around to face the wall, "Y...Yeah, maybe that's it." 'Cut it out, Yuri. You need to get used to this.'

 

Jaejoong noticed embarrassment coming from Yuri but he just shrugged it off. Once he finished changing, he grabbed his gym bag, slung it on his shoulder and walked over to Yeonseok before punching his shoulder lightly, "See you later okay, man. Practice finishes at five." He noticed Yeonseok nod and left the dorm to head to the gym. Yuri turned around once she heard the door close and hurriedly changed from her uniform to a pair of indigo baggy jeans which she had to roll because they were huge with a black tie short sleeve solid-button down shirt. She put on a pair of charcoal converse all star sneakers and left the dorms, heading to the gym, "First, watch closely how Yunho Oppa acts with his team mates." Yuri said to herself, nodding.

 

Yuri managed to reach the gym and could already hear what she thought would be the coach.

 

"Okay boys. Summer's over and once again, we are entering for the championships. We won last year thanks to our number one player, Jaejoong." Yuri walked into the gym and hid behind the wall of the bleachers, peeking every now and then and noticed a bunch of people, including Yunho and Hyukjae cheer as they patted Jaejoong's back. Yuri couldn't help but smile.

 

"Alright. Let's start the practice. Let's do our passing exercises. Eight hundred passes in three minutes. Go!" The coach blew the whistle and Yuri saw as Jaejoong was paired up with Yunho as they both faced each other and threw the ball in different directions. As time carried on, Yuri noticed how her attention wasn't on Yunho but instead, on Jaejoong. She noticed how Jaejoong's arms flexed as he caught the ball from Yunho and instantly, threw it back.

 

'Knock it out, girl. Your meant to be focusing on Yunho Oppa.' Yuri thought to herself, before turning to see Yunho and gave a sad smile. She noticed how his fang poked out of his lips, remembering how many times he caught her lips with those same teeth, kissed her with that same mouth. Yuri felt tears accumulate in her eyes and shook her head roughly as she cuddled herself up into a ball on the floor of the gym, leaning her back against the bleachers. Soon, she heard a whistle, "Okay boys, time for a game. Let's go. Shirts vs skins." Yuri raised her head as she turned to see both, Yunho and Jaejoong taking their shirts off while some other players kept theirs on. Yuri saw them both doing a handshake and soon, the game started. Yuri stood up, her eyes wide as she studied their movements. She saw Yunho play like he did last year, speedy, swift and stealthily. She, however, couldn't help but see how Jaejoong might not have been as speedy but he sure as hell was strong and manoeuvred way better than Yunho. She could tell Jaejoong took greater care in his moves and thought much more into detail about where he was going to go and how he should protect the ball.

 

Yuri kept watching until she saw Yunho throw the ball to Jaejoong who jumped very high and scored easily. Yuri's eyes widened. No wonder he's the top player. Since he's a half-vampire, he can jump higher than the average human. Yunho can run but not jump as high as Jaejoong did. Yuri smirked as she saw Jaejoong smile happily. Even if it wasn't a real game and even when he knew he could score easily, he would still be happy, just like a kid. Yuri admired him even more now. Yunho would always swear and cuss whenever he did something wrong or whenever she did something wrong and boast when he did something good for hours but she knew Jaejoong wasn't like that. A few hours into meeting the guy and she automatically had a strong feeling that they had be good friends. Yuri thought she had seen enough and walked out. Crossing her arms, she walked slowly back to the dorms, "Yunho Oppa and Jaejoong Oppa seems like very good friends." Yuri said, sighing "No Yuri. This is your first day and your already getting all mushy. You can't go easy Yuri, your going to get your revenge."
