Although Matthew was perfect, he's hopeless romantic.

He has everything. Looks,personality,brain,body. But you know, Having high standards is pretty hard.

In a friend circle with 8 few others, it was pretty fine. The only problem is, Hanbin is already with Zhang Hao, while Gyuvin and Ricky is in a Pre-Relationship situation. Gunwook and Yujin are babies. While Taerae whom he admired the most is with Junhyeon another boy from dance club which made him pretty sad and Jiwoong..well he doesn't really know. Jiwoong fit his standard but you know, he's too out of reach.

9 of them called ZEROBASEONE is the wk1 academy's all rounder group. Every school year, They perform with standing levels. School level, Academy level, Area Level and more.

Practicing hard, they all grew closer and closer leading to them becoming the bestest of best friends. In the past school years, Matthew had gone through a few crushes, Hanbin, Jeonghyeon, and currently, Taerae.

And so, a few weeks before their Area level he found out that Taerae, whom he admired so much had been courting Junhyeon.

It hurt him, but it's fine. Just like with Hanbin, Matthew later found out that he was just a fool. In Hanbin's eyes, he is a cute little brother. Matthew hated himself for romanticising almost everything they've gone through.

While sure, Jiwoong caught his eyes but he knows, he doesn't have a chance-

"YAH! Seok Matthew! What to do with you aish" Taerae waved his hand infront of Matthew who was spacing out.

Ricky and Gyuvin were bickering, Hanbin and Hao cuddling in the corner of the practice room, Jiwoong and Taerae laughing together beside him, Gunwook and Yujin laying in the middle of the room.

In the midst of the chaos, Matthew spaced out his back rested against the cold mirror.
He stood up, resting a small smile on his face and heads to the small door towards a balcony to get some fresh air.

A day before their competition and he was already tired. He sighed resting his arms on the railing. He heard the door opening and closing.

"Yah, little one." He heard his jiwoon hyung speak. He liked to call Matthew little one as of his height, small frame.
They talked and talked, Matthew was not gonna lie. He liked his Jiwoon hyung's company.

-

"Hyung~~~" he whined. After a long day, unfortunately, they lost the competition placing them in 4th place.

"Its fine Mattchu." Jiwoong laughed as he sat down beside the pouting pocket sized fluff ball.

"I just- i- " Jiwoong placed a finger over the youngers lips shushing him.

"Matthew, Can i tell you something?" He asked the latter swiftly taking his hand in his.

Matthew tilted his head in response.
"I..i was supposed to tell you this before our performance but couldn't so, Matthew yah..Can i court you?"

Matthew gasped,

"Hyung...am i dreaming?"

Jiwoong chuckled.
"No mattchu, You're not. I like you since i found out that a little one like you could dance so good. Could sing like an angel. Could steal my heart like that."

"Hyung..are YOU serious? Like, You? You like me?"

"Yes little one. I'm serious."

Matthew squealed, jumping on his hyung and hugging him tightly.

"YES HYUNG!!!!! YOU CAN COURT MEE!!" He said with following giggles.

"Gosh you're so cute i could die." Jiwoong whispered hugging the younger tightly.

He may had gone through a lot of failed crushes, but atleast he found the true one.
