Sunghoon stared at his small handheld mirror, checking for anything imperfect about his appearance. He adjusted a strand of hair. He did some push ups to make sure his muscles were in prime condition. He did vocal exercises to make sure his voice wasn't raspy. Hell, he even practiced drinking water at the right angle so you could see his jawline at its best.
Despite all of his efforts, Sunghoon felt under prepared.
Jake was right, Sunghoon was the most loved boy on campus, why should he be nervous? It was just you, just the person who's been sending him letters and who he's pinned after for several years without knowing who you are. Calming his heart, Sunghoon gently clasped the small necklace that rested on his collarbone. Taking a deep breath, he stepped outside of the locker room and was met with the track team, and you. Feeling his throat catch as he tried saying hello to Heeseung, he hurriedly rushed inside to drink more water.
Maybe he wasn't as ready to see you as he thought he was. Steadying his breathing once again, he convinced himself to act natural as he finally stepped outside, just as you finished giving a rundown of all the shots you wanted to take. "Hey everyone," Sunghoon noticed Heeseungs glare, "sorry Hee." Finally looking at you up close, he felt like he was on cloud nine. You were the one sending him letters. Taking a breather, he started warming up with the other guys.
At first the meeting went by slowly and to be frank, was rather dull. Sunghoon was not here for it. He half expected you to be staring at him nonstop, not the other way around. Truth be told, you were speaking to Heeseung more than he would like to admit. Was this an elaborate prank Heeseung planned? No it can't be that— Heeseung? Planning something? Unheard of.
Sunghoon must've looked more bothered than he realized as Yeonjun laughed at his despair. "You're too obvious for your own good Sunghoon" Yeonjun finished warming up and patted Sunghoons back before he was on his way to run a few laps around the basketball court while waiting for everyone else. Before Sunghoon could let out a snarky remark, you walked over to him, very much due to the persuasion of Heeseung. Trying not to be as obvious as Yeonjun claimed he was, Sunghoon grew an even stronger interest in stretching.
"Sunghoon, is it alright if I take a few shots of you during practice? It's stupid but I need your consent for stuff like this" Hearing you call his name sent memories of everything that happened flowing through Sunghoons mind. Well, flow isn't the right word, it was more like a flash flood. He blanked, and before he could stop himself asked, "Yeah it's fine, but can you meet me after this? I need to tell you something"
Shit.
20 minutes have passed. Twenty excruciating minutes. Sunghoon watched as you laughed, took pictures, and (most importantly) paid attention to his teammates. The worst part? You haven't talked to Sunghoon once in those one hundred and twenty minutes. Sunghoon was hot, sweaty, and in perfect condition for him to absolutely wow you. So why the hell weren't you talking to him?

So why the hell weren't you talking to him?
The reality for you was sad, in all honesty. You were nervous, scared even, and didn't want to talk to him after he so ominously asked to talk to you after the meet. But you knew Sana and Riki would be out for you if you didn't get any pictures of him, so you swallowed your nerves and walked up to Sunghoon.
Sunghoon has never felt so happy in his life. Finally, a proper conversation with you. "Sunghoon is it alright if I take shots of you running?" Running. Running? Look, Sunghoon knows he's on track and all. But running? How was he supposed to impress you with his muscles if he was running too fast for you to see him properly? How was he supposed to flex his jawline with him gasping for air? Sunghoon was having a midlife crisis before he reached his thirties.
Breathing in a sigh, Sunghoon smiled and nodded, heading over to the track field to do some laps. Glancing over to you one more time, your camera eagerly waiting to take shots of him, he sprinted. You jogged in front of him at a slower pace, but you were still able to take shots even Taehyun would be proud of. For the most part at least. You did catch yourself staring more than actually taking pictures, and that's probably why the world went spinning.
Prioritizing the camera over your physical well being, you wrapped your body around it, with nothing softening your fall. When you hit the damp grass, you felt stupid for falling in front of your crush. This embarrassment only deepened when Sunghoon kneeled down next to you, gently prying the camera away from you. You had scraped your knees, and you were bleeding a bit, enough for you to limp when walking.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" Sunghoon tenderly examined your knee as he placed the camera on the ground, his eyes filled with such concern that it made you swoon. If it weren't for the fact that your knee was burning with the heat of a thousand suns. "Yeah I'll be alright, I'll just go to the nurse's real quick" You gently tried standing up, wincing slightly, and almost fell down again.
Almost.
Sunghoon caught you, and it was as if the world had stopped. As if your knees and palms weren't bleeding, Sunghoons sweat wasn't dripping onto your forehead, and you couldn't smell how much he absolutely reeked. Every imperfection in this moment was gone.
Until it wasn't. The pain was unforgiving and had you grimace beyond your control. Sunghoon said something to the other track runners, you couldn't hear what it was no matter how much you tried. Maybe the heat finally got to you, or the awkwardness between you and Sunghoon, or how you had a big test coming up in math that you needed to study for, but you felt yourself go limp.
What a great way to properly meet your crush.
***
You woke up to air conditioning, your greatest comfort. And Sunghoon, which you guessed was your second greatest. Your camera was in his hands, and he didn't realize you had woken up yet. "I'm sorry," you started, "for not getting that many pictures of you" you weakly mumbled and laughed. Sunghoon's head perked up, quickly wiping his eyes of tears.
"No, I..." Sunghoon looked down again, heart hammering in his chest, "nevermind, are you feeling better?" his head gently raised, making eye contact with you. You dully nodded and looked around the room to avoid the tense atmosphere. You felt a hand grab yours, the sensation you felt matched the warmth you felt in front of the soda machine so long ago. “Do you,” you tightened your grip on his hand, “do you know?” No other words were exchanged. Your sight was shifted from the nurse bed, and now you had a full-view of the boy you had sent letters to for so long. To think that there was a time you believed you didn’t like him.
Warmth bloomed in Sunghoon’s chest, this was the moment he had anticipated for so long. He had to do it now, or he'd never muster the courage again. And so, he leaned in. Every moment registered in your mind, the movement of his hand as he held your chin, how your heartbeat raced faster than he could during any track race, and how sparks flew every second between you two. And finally, your lips connected with his. 
Just like everything else in your relationship with Sunghoon, the kiss was slow. But you wouldn’t want anything else in the world. Your eyes closed, using the rest of your senses to register and comprehend the boy in front of you. Your hands snaked around his neck, fingers intertwining with each other, deepening your embrace.
Heeseung opened the door.
Never in your life have you pulled away so quickly. Sunghoon? Red in the face. You? Also red in the face. Heeseung? Laughing his ass off with a shit eating grin from ear to ear. With a whistle, Heeseung left the door open as he skipped back into the halls, visibly on Twitter. As Sunghoon stood to close the door after him, you cleared your throat. Now what. "Sorry about him" Sunghoon looked down, finally returning to your side.
"How long?" You fumbled with your fingers, "To be honest, like 3 hours" Sunghoon flashed a smile. "I accidentally took someone's medicine the night of the party and stuff just kept on happening" Sunghoon leaned back into his chair and sighed.
"So, does this mean I won't have to send you letters anymore?"
"I still want you to, just give them to me in person from now on" the boy gave you a wink and stood up to greet the nurse who had just walked into the room, smiling as he left for you to spill the details of what just occured to the school nurse.
