the school's star volleyball player is struggling keep her grades up. her friends are kind enough to help her get a tutor.. but it turns out to be her ex boyfriend. what happens when she and yuta cross paths a second time?
you take yuta by surprise, with how early you are to the library.
he watches how you eat, chewing slowly, staring into the screen of your laptop.
he thinks back to a simpler time a few months ago, when he could see this in his bedroom after a long day. then he'd take you to practice and sit in the stands, amazed at how you glide around the court so smoothly.
he approaches quietly, careful not to startle you as he takes the seat across from you.
you look up, sliding your headphones off.
"hi," he breathes out, and yuta thinks it's the hardest thing he's done in years.
you blink at his face, then look away. "hi," you say, leaning over to grab your notebook. "so.. um, where do we start? i need this, like, quick."
yuta's mind goes blank for a moment as he stares at you. what were you here for again? oh. tutoring!
he raises his eyebrows, inhaling as he scratches the back of his neck. "well, first, can i see your grade list? just so i know what to touch on more than other units."
you grimace, pulling up a tab on your laptop, then sliding it to him. all without eye contact, he notes.
he looks over the screen, lips pursed. oh, it's bad.
"yn, have you been.. doing your work? like, at all?"
"jesus," you mutter, the room suddenly going hot, "yes, i'm trying. it's just a lot with practice and everything. and, in case you don't remember, i have a scholarship waiting for me."
"no- no, i remember, i just.. this is a lot. you've never been failing like this," he mutters in genuine shock. he had been with you for two years, and the lowest you'd ever gotten was a B.
"well, back then i had you all the time. so. can we just start, please? what do i do first?"
there's a brief pause before yuta nods, reaching into his backpack.
he can tell, just by the way you shift in your seat, these few weeks will be harsh.
luckily, he's never gone down without a fight.
