    Chapter 4 : Seongwoo Ong










    The word ‘prom’ was getting more overwhelming; only two weeks to go. Most of Daniel’s classmates already had their date. Everyone was excited about prom. Girls talked about their prom dress and guys talked about the limo. Minhyun gave up on him and succeeded at asking his crush to prom. Daniel and Minhyun were nominated for Prom King and Queen of Oakwood high contest, just like everyone had expected.

    If he was going to be prom king this year, then the king should have his queen by his side.
    The point was: He hadn’t asked Seongwoo, yet. Past weeks he was busy with study and practice, plus the discouragement after Seongwoo’s statement about his plan on the prom night. He hadn’t had a gut to ask Seongwoo and embarrassed himself, yet didn’t come up with new plan as well.

    There was another problem: Remember Kelsey Lou? As Seongwoo’s best friend, she was with Seongwoo most of the time, they usually ate lunch together, and spent time at their book club after class. Her house was in the same neighborhood as Ong’s, so she also got the privilege to walk home with Seongwoo. As far as he could tell, Kelsey didn’t make her move yet, and she also happened every time Daniel was thinking about asking Seongwoo.


    Kelsey Lou got her revenge on what he did to her that day, of course.


    Had Daniel told anyone yet that he was a fighter? It was only two weeks left, he needed to ask Seongwoo soon. He already had his suit readied, he got his car, but he didn’t have Seongwoo as his date, yet. If Lou wanted a war, then he had no objection about it. Lou would never have her chance, at least when Daniel was still here. (To be fair, she had two more years of prom.)

    “Hey, Seongwoo.” Daniel said softly and allowed himself to sit across Seongwoo in the library. Seongwoo pushed his glasses back a little, as it rested at the tip of his nose once he raised his head. He gave the older man a gentle smile.

    “Hello. Is this your free period as well?” He lowered his voice because the librarian here was super strict about the noise. Daniel nodded, putting his Chemistry textbook on the desk.
    “You know, um, I have problems with this assignment.” He genuinely confused about the lesson and Seongwoo was the only one he felt comfortable asking for help, and the boy was happy to help.

    “It’s a little tricky, but you understand the idea of it, right?” Seongwoo opened the book to the latest chapter and Daniel heard his heartbeat echoed in his ears. He did need help about Chemistry but he also had a plan for this.

    Here was the plan: after millionth time miserably failed at speaking those seven words, Daniel thought he should approach different way. Writing was clear and smooth enough minus shaking hands and voice. He inserted a small paper inside the book, neatly wrote down ‘Seongwoo, Would you like to go to prom with me?’, waited for Seongwoo to flip to that page and he was done.


    “Actually, I’m not sure if I understand the whole thing.”


    “Okay, then we’ll start from the beginning. It’s not that complicated.” Seongwoo teared off a paper from his notebook to write short note along his explanation. Daniel loved it when Seongwoo tutored him; it was pleasant looking at Seongwoo’s pink lips.

    He tried to stay focus as Seongwoo flipped pages after pages. He was an amazing tutor but he was so close to that page! Daniel internally freaked out. The younger Ong stopped his explanation and asked Daniel to revise what he’d talked for the past twenty minutes. The older man did just so.

    “That’s good. I think you’re alright. The assignment is to research about the topic and its usage, then you have to be creative and give him something new.” Seongwoo flipped the book again and Daniel held his breath as he saw his blue note. The younger boy obviously noticed it but he looked passed it to read Daniel’s textbook one more time.

    “Okay, I’ll be fine.” Daniel murmured, looking expectantly at Seongwoo, whose eyes caught that beautiful shade of blue note again. Of course, it was his favorite color, and it had his name written hugely on it; That had to catch his attention somehow.


    He was looking, oh my god, he was looking at the damn note!


    Alright Daniel Kang, kept cool, acted normal.


    “Here you are! I was looking for you everywhere.” The girl’s voice distracted Seongwoo from the note and Daniel internally groaned.
    “Oh, Kelsey. Am I late again?” The younger Ong chirped as he put his stuffs into his backpack. Kelsey nodded at him while glaring suspiciously at Daniel. He shrugged.

    “Pretty much. Hi Daniel.” The long-haired girl greeted him politely, eyeing suspiciously. ‘Don’t look at me like that, Lou’ he thought.
    “Hey.” Then everything went back to silence once Seongwoo got up from his seat. He looked back at the captain again and waved him goodbye.


    “Ask me if you’re confused about it, okay?”


    “Sure. See you on Monday.”


    He waited for both of them to leave the library already, then he picked up his text book and left as well. For god’s sake! Seongwoo almost read the note if it wasn’t because Kelsey interrupted them. Daniel scowled angrily and walked to the field for his practice for the final match tomorrow.










    He went into locker rooms where his teammates were there already. They deep voice and loud laughter filled the room. The topic of the day was about prom again. Daniel annoyingly headed straight to his locker and changed to his uniform, trying to tune out his teammates conversation.

    “Hey, buddy. How was it? Did he read it?” Minhyun approached him with concern expression. Daniel sighed and shook his head, he certainly looked sad right now. His best friend patted his shoulder and said nothing more.

    Their practice went well. Daniel tried not to think about prom ever again because it was distracting. The duty as a captain and a quarterback was his priority for now. He had to make sure they would win and be the champion of his last season of school league.

    He was stressed out and it showed on his face to the point his parents gave him worry look, but he easily brushed it off saying that he was tired from the practice. He thought of giving up on asking Seongwoo; If God hated him that much then so be it. He could be the prom king who stood alone by the punch-mixed fountain and got drunk with his teammates. Goodbye his last high school year, drunk, waiting for college to start, and never sober again.

    His phone buzzed continuously, waking him up from slumber. Daniel groaned and looked at the clock; It was only 11 pm and he didn’t know when he fell asleep without showering first. Ugh, he was gross and sweaty. The dark-haired man yawned audibly as he reached for his phone.


    What. Wait. Was Seongwoo calling him!?


    “Oh, hey, Seongwoo.” Daniel picked up and tried to not sound sleepy, but groggily crack in his voice failed his intention. On the other end of the line sounded quiet, so Seongwoo probably in his bed room…studying? Yes, Seongwoo always studied, what were you thinking here?

    “Were you sleeping? I’m sorry for waking you, Daniel.” Seongwoo rambled and it was so cute Daniel had to stop himself from cooing. Daniel cleared his throat.
    “No, no, I wasn’t. Are you alright? You never called me before.” He heard chuckled from the younger boy. That low, raspy voice was probably not his best friend right now. Daniel swallowed hard.


    “Didn’t I?”


    “Yeah, this is probably the first time we talked on the phone.”


    “I just…want to tell you that I’m going to watch the game tomorrow. So…good luck, but you don’t need that, do you?” Daniel bit his lips. He didn’t realize how wide his smile was right now. His heart was beating faster than after a long match of football, just because of Seongwoo’s voice and his blessing, and Seongwoo was going to watch their game!

    “Maybe I do? I mean, luck.” He heard a sound of paper that faded out way too quickly that he almost misheard it. Seongwoo hummed a little, letting silence did its job.
    “You know, Kelsey asked me to prom.” Daniel gasped out loud at the statement, unable to find his voice to answer.


    “Ugh…that’s…good?”


    “We’re friends, there’s nothing wrong with friends go to prom together, right? Even though we’re not really invited.” Seongwoo continued and when he spoke faster, it was a sign that he was nervous.

    “There’s no rule against freshmen and sophomore at the prom, and of course you can go with your friends.” To be honest, it would be a little weird since prom was for juniors and seniors. If freshman was asked by a junior or a senior as a date, they were definitely welcomed. Daniel had never seen freshmen went to the prom by themselves before—it was ridiculous since freshmen acquainted with no one there at the prom, but that was totally fine for him.

    “It’s just that her sister, Ashley, is Jacob’s date. Her parents allow Ashley to go on one condition, is Kelsey has to go too.” But that didn’t include asking Seongwoo as a proper date, right? Wicked.

    “That’s fine, Seongwoo. If you want to go with Kelsey, don’t worry, just enjoy the prom.” Seongwoo giggled at Daniel’s advice; The captain clearly sounded distressed.

    “I told her I’ll go if she needed me to. But I said no, to the date thing.”

    “Huh?” His brows quirked up. It had surprised him quite a lot hearing that, and it gave him a little gleeful motion swirled in his chest.

    “It’s late, you need to rest. Goodnight, Daniel.” Daniel was taken aback by Seongwoo’s sudden end of conversation.

    “A-Alright. Goodnight, Seongwoo.”

    When the line was cut, Daniel shot right up and walked to his study. He opened his Chemistry textbook, hoping that the damn blue note was still at the same place as it should have been. Daniel eyes widened—Oh no, it was missing. He went to his bag, poured everything out and still no sign of blue paper. He recalled he made sure he left nothing at the library.


    This meant one thing: Seongwoo saw it. He brought it back with him.


    Shit. Fuck. What should he do tomorrow? Seongwoo was going to see him play. Oh my god. He knew! Seongwoo knew, then called Daniel himself to tell that he was still available because he turned Kelsey Lou down! Oh god, no! NO! YES! It was obvious Seongwoo was expecting something from him!



    Of course, it was going to be his prom proposal!
