Chapter 1: Kelsey Lou

Prom is coming.

Daniel hadn’t realized until he walked into main entrance of Oakwood High School and he found a huge ugly neon-pink vinyl banner with some dude’s face on it, hanging from the wall of the entrance. ‘Prom?’ it was written across said banner, using comic sans font. It was so lame Daniel thought his eyes might bleed. Though someone seemed to be impressed by it since he heard a delighted squeal, he wouldn’t dare to look who was the lucky girl.

“That was epic, don’t you think?” He snorted when Minhyun, his best friend, bursted out. The red-head kept looking at the banner, eyes wide sarcastically.
“Why don’t you try it out?” Daniel smirked and Minhyun groaned as they walked toward their lockers.

“Dude.” Minhyun cringed.

“I’m serious though. You try this and I’m sure Amanda will be impressed.”

“She would slap me hard and say yes to someone else.” Minhyun muttered, picking his first class’ textbook. Daniel chuckled and did same thing; his first class was Chemistry. Although he hated the subject, Daniel was looking forward to attending this class every week.

“By the way, be a man and ask him okay? I’m sick of all your lovesick pining eyes for my brother.” The red-haired man punched Daniel’s shoulder playfully and wiggled his brows.
“And it’s your last prom, so…do it before he goes with someone else.” With that, Minhyun left for his first class and Daniel sighed.

He looked inside his locker and not surprised seeing quite amount of love letters; in this case was prom proposal letters. Uninterested, he closed his locker and headed to Science lab at the left wing of the building. He greeted back to people whom he didn’t bother to remember names, as famous person he was. People loved him since he was the captain of football team, and he unquestioningly sorted into Oakwood’s stars team.

Alright, asking someone to prom needed to be a little creative. He knew, as a Daniel Kang, he could wear his football-team jacket, brushed back his hair a little, walked confidently with his oh-so charismatic smile and asked. Anyone who dared to turn down his proposal would be insane. Seongwoo, though, was an exception.

Seongwoo Ong, a.k.a. the Doctor Who, was Minhyun’ younger brother who was excelled in Science; That was why the freshmen exceptionally attended the senior’s Chemistry class. He just loved Science way too much, and it was absolutely sexy. Frankly, they never paired up for an assignment once.

The Ongs moved from Korea four years ago, Daniel was befriended with Minhyun at the first day of their freshmen year. He actually met Seongwoo in person not long after and the boy was so young and shy to the stranger, partly because of the language. Years passed and they grew comfortable with each other enough to converse naturally like friends, but mostly they kept it casual—Seongwoo probably aware him as Minhyun’ best friend, who was the captain of school’s football team, and a nice man.

The closest thing to flirting with Seongwoo was subtly compliment his beauty, or talked about the book he was reading. The boy seemed oblivious to every hint he tried, and Minhyun once said Seongwoo wasn’t that foolish, but still no progress.

Damn him.

The captain sighed as he sat in his seat, books neatly placed on the table. He politely returned a flirtatious smile from a girl across the room while looking for a mop of chocolate curls. There he was, Daniel’s sweetheart: Seongwoo Ong. Adore smile appeared on the captain’s face as he stared at Seongwoo who was occupied himself reading a book about mythical of stars, his recently favorite. Oh, his new glasses looked so pretty on him.

“You’re drooling, Kang.” Annoying voice from his side brought him back to reality. Miranda Nielsen, his Chemistry partner wrinkled her nose as she sat on a chair next to him.

“You look like shit, hard night?” Daniel scowled. They were close enough to joke like that and didn’t get offended. Blonde girl shrugged, propped her elbow on the table and jerked her head toward Seongwoo.

“Thinking about prom huh?”

“Why should I think about prom, exactly?”

“Everyone does? People start asking and desperate to have someone to go with. Though you don’t give a shit about prom, I think it probably matter now.” Daniel could basically hear her smirk.

“Shut up, Randa.” Daniel didn’t like it when people interested in his personal life. Love life, to be exact.

“Nuh-ugh. You better ask him before it’s too late. He’s pretty popular you know?” She scoffed. Before Daniel could bit back, the conversation was interrupted as their Chemistry teacher walked in and started explaining their lesson right away.

An hour seemed like a day when you had to sit and do experiments about things you had no idea what was it about. Daniel internally groaned all period and once the bell rang, students immediately gathered their things and walked out. He intended to approach Seongwoo just to say hi, then someone was quicker. A girl ran into Seongwoo once he exited the classroom, a tall girl with long dark brown hair.

She was Seongwoo’s friend from book club, Daniel recalled that they basically stuck together, like every second. Kelsey Lou, Sophomore, Daniel growled her name inside his head. He fisted his hands when he saw Seongwoo smiled brightly at her, cocked his head to the when she spoke something. Damn it Seongwoo, why did you have to be so pretty to everyone!?

Daniel noticed the look on Kelsey’s face and the way she rather fidgeted: Was she going to ask Seongwoo to prom!? Wait. Sophomores weren’t even involved to go to the senior prom, then why the hell would she try to ask Seongwoo about it? Anyway, if she was going to do something crazy by asking Seongwoo to be her date, that would never happen.

NOT ON MY WATCH YOUNG LADY.

“Hey, Seongwoo.” He leaped in and the two startled. The horrified look on Kelsey’s face was priceless, it was like her heart would jumped out of her mouth any second now. Daniel smirked in triumph but fast changed to soft smile for Seongwoo.

“Good morning, Daniel.” Seongwoo smiled wider as he turned his body toward Daniel a little, a good sign of body language that his present was welcome.
“Good morning, indeed.” The captain sighed. Oh my god, Seongwoo with his new glasses was such a pup. The brown pattern suited well with his hair and brightened his brown eyes even more. 10 out of 10, holy moly.

“You wear new glasses today. What’s with the last one?” Daniel stood straighter than he usually was, to intimidate Kelsey who shrank even more.
“Same as always. I’m such an idiot.” The younger boy mumbled and shrugged. He always slept wearing his glasses and found them broke next morning. So. Cute.

“You’re not. I heard it happened with everyone who wears glasses. By the way, this one looks good.” Daniel gave him soft smile and Seongwoo returned with much courtesy.
“Thank you, Daniel.” He had no idea how much damage he had caused to Daniel’s heart only by smiling like a gorgeous angel.

“Well, I’ll see you at lunch?”

“I suppose so. See you Daniel.”

Daniel's smile suddenly turned into determined-resting-bitch-face as Kelsey’s eyes met his. She looked as much determined as himself, but Kelsey averted her eyes to look at Seongwoo, smiled in response to the brunette’s conversation. He noticed there were some girls who looked tentative to approach Seongwoo, so there was quite some people who wanted to ask Seongwoo to prom. Daniel huffed out a little and walked to his next class.

Prom this year was literally a war; Believe it or not, Daniel Kang was the best at fighting.
