note: normal font is speaking in korean and italics is speaking in chinese
you’ve been living in seoul for 2 years already
you were born in australia and from there you had lived in hong kong and france
and hence you could speak 4 languages fluently; english, korean, chinese and french
your mum was chinese and your dad was half korean and half french
people were always in awe of how “cool” your ethnicity was and you definitely agreed it was unique
but you didn’t like how once you finally had settled into a new country, you’d have to move to another and try to adapt again
and it was also really easy to lose touch with the friends you’d made
anyways enough of that lmao
you are now living in the city of seoul in korea
and you were lucky that you fitted in quite well and your neighbour was yoo seonho who was probably the most outgoing kid ever who knew literally everyone
so he basically introduced you to everyone
he was one year younger than you but very smart so you guys were in the same grade
you two would often walk home together and crash each other’s houses to do homework together
anyways back on track AGAIN i need help lmao
it was almost the start of the new school year
and one week before school started again
you were collecting the mail from the letterbox when seonho happened to be heading out
he saw you and waved
“hey y/n!!!!!!”
you waved back “hey seonho”
“omg i almost forgot to ask you, do you wanna come to the park right now?”
“right now? why?” you asked
“you haven’t met the new guy here, lai guanlin right?” asked seonho as he pronounced lai guanlin with an awkward accent that was mixed with korean and chinese
“uhhh lai guanlin? that’s a chinese name” you replied
“yes yes stop showing off your chinese y/n” replied seonho rolling his eyes
you laughed, since seonho could only speak korean you sometimes taught him some chinese and he just sounded super funny whenever he spoke chinese
“well what about this lai guanlin dude?” you asked seonho going back on topic
“you have to meet him y/n, he’s from taiwan and he’ll be coming to our school” replied seonho
“oh thats nice,” you answered in a half hearted tone not really interested
“y/n!!!” whined seonho
“what”
“you have to meet him because he’s basically a super star and he’s playing basketball at the park today”
“a super star? what do you mean?”
“he’s super good looking”
you sighed seonho knew you liked any guy that was good looking even though nothing ever worked out between your previous crushes because they either were 1) taken or 2) had crappy personalities
he’d always try to matchmake you off lmao and you’d do the same to him
“how good looking is he?” you asked jokingly
“HES MORE HANDSOME THAN ME” said seonho proudly as he thumped his chest loudly
you scoffed, “whatever dude not interested” as you decided to head back inside to finish watching the new variety show you had started earlier that day
“no seriously, i even ship you guys already, he’s so good looking. i’ll shout you fried chicken tonight, that’s how desperate i am” said seonho
it was unusual for seonho to offer to shout you fried chicken so you reluctantly agreed and before you knew it, seonho was dragging you to the park and you couldn’t even change out of your trackies into something more presentable
you guys arrived at the park and before approaching the basketball courts, seonho first pulled you behind a tree
“seonho why the heck are we hiding behind a tree?” you asked sighing at seonho’s actions
“you need mental preparation beforehand because he’s really handsome, too hot for you to handle”
“pfffffttt”
“there he is! the tall one with black hair!” whispered seonho pointing towards the basketball courts, you rolled your eyes ready to be disappointed
seonho would always claim a guy was good looking and whenever you checked them out, they were just really average so you were literally only at the park for the free fried chicken shout afterwards
you turned around eyes following where seonho was pointing at and your brain froze
there playing basketball on the court was the most gorgeous guy you’d ever laid eyes on
his hair was a natural black colour, his body was lean and slightly muscular, he had pale skin that was literally glowing in the sunlight
he also had a slight dimple poking out on one side of his cheek when he smiled, nice lips, a high nose, and the way his beautiful eyes were determined yet mesmerising when shooting the ball in the hoop
you gawked at his handsomeness for a good minute same with seonho lmao this kid
before seonho nudged you, “see he’s good right?”
“yes” you reply immediately almost breathless as your breath was literally taken away by his beauty
but you thought of your previous good looking crushes and tried to come back to reality even though you could feel your heart racing
“nah but he probably has a crap personality, since all of the good looking guys do” you say
“no no he’s super down to earth, let me introduce you to him!” says seonho and before you get to reply
seonho is dragging you to the courts
“HEY GUANLIN” yells seonho
guanlin stops playing basketball and looks over at you guys while waving to seonho
you awkwardly look away feeling shy as he approached closer
“guanlin, this is y/n who i told you about and y/n this is guanlin the super star,” says seonho
“seriously seonho don’t call me that!” says guanlin as seonho laughed
you were once again mesmerised because guanlin’s voice was so nice, it was like mixture of deep but also sweet???
“what did you say about me seonho?” you mutter
“seonho said you were happy to tutor me korean if thats ok?” replies guanlin
“uh wait what” you say confused
“oh no it’s ok if you don’t want to i understand,” says guanlin quickly
“but you’d be happy to right?” chimes seonho mischievously
“seonho didn’t tell you that?” asks guanlin as he had paused to catch on with what seonho was saying
you shake your head
“seonho is such an idiot” says guanlin smiling widely revealing a gummy smile
which you literally found to be the cutest smile ever
“yep he’s the biggest idiot ever” you reply
“what did you say???” asks seonho confused looking between you two
you and guanlin laugh making eye contact
and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside kjahkdquhfqllqqhk
“don’t you worry” you reply chuckling at seonho
“well looks like you two can have your alone time since you don’t need me anymore” pouts seonho as you and guanlin start blushing heheheh
seonho steals the basketball guanlin is holding and runs off to the courts
and you feel your heart racing again because you’re now alone with guanlin even though seonho is really only 5 metres away lmao
you guys both feel the awkwardness but for some reason feel warm inside
and like guanlin is really tall so he’s sort of towering over you but it feels protective???
anyways you decide to muster up your courage and say, “well i can tutor you in korean, when should we start?” you ask
“really?? thank you so much y/n, i’m sorry this was unexpected and that seonho didn’t tell you” says guanlin
“that’s okay i’m happy to help you out!” you reply, blushing as you thought of tutoring such a handsome boy with such a great personality you were lowkey proud of yourself
“thanks again y/n,” says guanlin, smiling softly down at you, once again revealing his gummy smile, “i have my books here, can we start now?”
“sure” you nod happily in response
this school year was going to be different, a very nice different..
lmao little did you know that seonho had shown guanlin your picture and guanlin insisted seonho to get you to tutor him heheh
hope you guys enjoyed this, I LOVE WANNA ONE SOBS I HOPE YOU ALL GET TO MEET THEM LIKE I DID
