Lee Heeseung is persistent.

You'll give him that.

It's been a week since he's made all sorts of efforts to get to know you and give a greeting. And it's very strange because the basketball captain has never even bat an eye at you before all of this. You're naturally suspicious due to your pessimistic behaviour.

But he is everywhere.

He's at your table at lunch, awaiting for you after soccer practice, somehow bombarding with you with his presence after classes, hell, he even 'accidentally' bumped into you at your favourite bookstore in town. You suppose it'd be romantic to any other damsel that would fall for his magnetic grin and charm, but you're just simply not falling for it. You refuse to.

And Heeseung thinks you are persistent as well. He's stumped. Truly stumped. No other girl has rejected his advances for this long and he wonders if the money is even worth it in the end. But Heeseung isn't one to give up easily once he's set his mind to it. He puts effort into things, he wants to win in the end. He wants to win you over. And perhaps the flirting, the stares, and compliments paired with his nonchalant attitude isn't going to help him win you over like he thought he would.

So he goes the traditional way. Or at least what he thinks is a simple and romantic gesture.

"Oh my God," you groan the moment you see Heeseung's face and he chuckles at your reaction, leaning against his motorcycle parked where your car is usually parked, but today, a little birdie (Jungwon) told him it was at the repair shop. He holds two helmets in his hands and smiles. You slowly walk over to him, annoyed at the stares being thrown by other students pouring out of school today. You're honestly speechless at this point. He seriously doesn't know when to give up, does he?

"One chance. It's not a date, I'll just drop you off at your house." Heeseung huffs, sitting one helmet aside and then pulling out a bouquet of flowers from behind him. You pause. That's actually sweet... You wouldn't expect that from him.
