Chapter Text
Love is complicated, Lee Sumin knew that from a young age.
Romance was not like the fairytale stories she was told growing up, where two people just fall in love with each other and live happily ever after. It was nothing like that, which she quickly realized once she fell in love with the university’s women’s basketball star, Lee Subin.
Subin was arguably the most popular girl throughout the entire university filled with thousands of students. It seemed like everyone knew her name. Last year, she even led the women’s basketball team to win the national championship, and she seemed set to do it again this year. Sumin got to know her more personally through cheerleading. The cheerleading team was mostly focused on basketball season, which lasted through the winter, but often cheered for other sports too. Sumin was the cheerleading team’s captain, as the most senior of the bunch, and was a part of it since she first started at the university.
The basketball star and cheerleading captain met before they held either of those titles, when Sumin was in her second year and Subin her first. Though Subin was new to the university, she teamhad a charisma and charm to her that led her to success. When Sumin first spoke to her, she knew she would be dangerous, flirting with her as if it were nothing. Now, two years later, Sumin and Subin were in a friends with benefits situation, with Subin declaring that she did not have time between both basketball and classes to commit to an official relationship. Sumin was fine with it at first, but now she has only become increasingly frustrated by it. She wanted to make it official, to become a real couple before she graduated and had to go her separate way. Though, for some reason, Subin seemed stubborn and wanted to stay as friends with benefits, at least for now.
Sumin’s best friend is Seo Jiyu, a girl younger than her with both beauty and brains. Jiyu is known to be one of the smartest students in the whole university, tackling difficult classes such as organic chemistry and acing them with ease. She was often the one other students would go to if they needed help with classwork or to study for an upcoming exam. Jiyu always accepted requests for her assistance, she was too kind-hearted to decline, after all. She wanted to help others succeed just as she had. Sumin actually met Jiyu when she needed help studying for her calculus class back in her second year. The two got along well, becoming best friends rather quickly, and later on they became roommates as well.
Subin also knows of Jiyu’s close friend, Kwak Haeum, who very evidently has a crush on Jiyu but she is too busy with her studies and oblivious to realize. Haeum is not well known throughout the college, as she is quite shy and does not go out too often, but she is very kind and Subin admires her for it. She believes Haeum and Jiyu would be a good match, but she has not had any opportunity to try to link them up yet.
It is a cold January night, time for one of the most important basketball games of the season. This game was against one of the team’s main rivals, so the pressure was on and the stadium was lively and filled with spectators watching the game. Sumin, while watching the game with her cheerleading team, could not keep her eyes off of Subin. She was always so cool when she played basketball, and the determined look on her face and sweaty body always seemed to turn her on. Though she knew she could not seem too distracted, she had a cheerleading team to lead.
“Subin unnie is so cool, isn’t she?” One of the youngest members of the cheer team mentioned to Sumin, watching her with awe as she successfully scored two points for the team. “No wonder she’s so popular.”
“She is,” Sumin responded, eyes still locked on the basketball star. “I do not know where the team would be without her. Not this successful, that’s for sure,” she could not help but feel a bit possessive. No one else should be able to perceive Subin, that’s her girl, although not official. In her mind, they were more than official.
Sumin watched with amazement, though she was not surprised, as Subin scored the final points of the game which led their team to victory. After the game was won, the crowd rushed into the basketball court, cheering on the team. Sumin and the other cheerleaders obviously joined in, the cheerleader sneaking in a sweaty hug with Subin. Her heart raced as she saw Subin’s sweaty body up close, ready to make her even sweatier. As they hugged, Sumin whispered into her ear.
“Meet me in the locker room when everyone is gone,” she told her. Subin responded with a knowing smile and a nod, accepting the invitation. Not only did she win the game, but she was going to sneakily have some fun with Sumin tonight.
Eventually, the crowd began to filter out and even some of the other players began to leave the stadium. Upon noticing this, Sumin noticed Subin talking to her coach and decided to walk over and grab Subin by the arm. Once she did so, Subin realized that it was time.
“Oh, it was nice talking to you, but I gotta get going!” Subin told her coach without seeming suspicious. “I’ll see you during practice on Monday!” She said her goodbyes to her coach before allowing Sumin to practically drag her out to the women’s locker room. Realizing it was completely empty, Sumin made her first move.
Sumin used pure body force to press Subin back against the lockers, the basketball player seemingly flustered as sweat still dripped from her forehead. Sumin loved Subin’s body, but admired it even more when it was covered in sweat. She looked like a freshly baked glazed donut, ready to be devoured.
“L-Let’s make it quick,” Subin stuttered slightly, unable to keep her eyes off the cheerleader’s short skirt. “I don’t want anyone walking in on us…”
“Okay, cooperate then,” Sumin responded as she pressed her body up against Subin’s, leaving no space in between them. “Be a good puppy and do as your unnie says, okay?”
Subin nodded, gasping slightly once Sumin began to steadily hump her, going through the motions of sex with their clothes still on. It did not take long for both women to start to feel some satisfaction, enjoying the feeling of their pussies repeatedly pressing against each other. They were both incredibly sweaty and were only going to get sweatier.
In a bold move, Subin raised her leg, holding her knee up in between Sumin’s legs. She put upwards pressure against Sumin’s pussy with her knee, making Sumin moan with pleasure. “O-Oh… that feels good. Keep your knee there,” Sumin told her as she continued to hump her. “I’m so wet… are you wet too?”
“My wish is your command,” Subin gave the cheerleader a charming smile, keeping her leg as it was. “I-I’m close.. I’m going to cum. Keep going.. Don’t stop,” she encouraged, pressing her body up against Sumin’s even more.
In sudden desperation, Sumin reached one of her hands down and in between Subin’s legs. She began to gently massage Subin’s clitoris, making sure she gets to feel the same amount of pleasure. Subin moaned at the touch, her legs clenching and hips bucking as she began to feel a similar level of pleasure. They kept at it in the same position for a few minutes before they decided that it was time for them to finish, with both of them having orgasmed at that point.
“Unnie, that was amazing as always,” Subin smiled as she met Sumin’s eyes once again. “You never fail to know exactly what my body needs,” she tenderly grabbed onto one of Sumin’s hands.
“That’s good to hear. I’m glad I could make you feel good,” Sumin returned the smile, though deep down she wanted more than this. She wanted Subin to be officially hers, but yet she knew the other would not allow that to happen. “You never fail to turn me on,” she responded, gently rubbing her thumb against Subin’s hand. “Again, congratulations on the win. Let’s do it again next game, deal?”
“Deal,” Subin nodded, accepting the invitation. “I’ll text you later, okay? Be safe returning to your apartment,” she said as she let go of Sumin’s hand.
“Okay, you too,” Sumin watched as the basketball star grabbed her belongings and departed, planning to shower off at her own place. “I love you…” she muttered as Subin left, feeling at a loss. She was not sure how much longer she could keep at this, having sex with Subin although she knew that she was not even hers.
Sumin needed to find a way to make her relationship with Subin official by the end of basketball season, whether Subin wanted it or not. In a way, she wanted to stop. She wanted to break things off with Subin if she could not dedicate herself to a true relationship. However, Sumin could not see herself loving anyone else but Subin, which left her confused and troubled.
Though, Sumin knew exactly who she could talk to about this.
Around thirty minutes later, Sumin returned to her apartment which she shared with her best friend Jiyu, putting her belongings down. She quickly showered off her body and changed into her pajamas before heading off to Jiyu’s room. She lightly knocked on the door, making sure her roommate was still awake.
“Come in!” Jiyu’s friendly voice should be heard on the other side of the door. So, Sumin politely entered.
Jiyu was sitting on her bed on her phone, although she planned on going to bed soon. It was past midnight after all. She put her phone down, turning all of her attention over to her best friend. “What’s going on?” She asked with concern as soon as she noticed the troubled look on her friend’s face.
“It’s… about Subin,” Sumin admitted as she joined her friend on her bed.
“Of course it is,” Jiyu laughed, not surprised at all. “What’s the matter? Is she still not wanting a relationship?” She scooted closer to Sumin.
“You know it,” Sumin confirmed with a sigh. “I am not sure how much longer I can keep going like this,” she admitted. “Subin tells me she does not have time for a relationship, and yet I cannot see myself being with anyone else,” she began to vent to her friend. “I keep having sex with her, but I do not know how long I can keep at it without the commitment of an actual relationship…”
“Maybe she just needs some more time,” Jiyu tried to comfort her friend, rubbing her back with her hand. “Perhaps by the time basketball season is over, she would want to dedicate herself to a relationship with you.”
“The thing is… I don’t think I can wait that long,” Sumin admitted. “I just don’t have the patience. I know we’re both busy people, but we still talk every day and have sex at least once a week,” she explained herself. “We act just like a couple, despite how busy we are, so why not make it official?” She questioned, putting her head in her hands. “I just don’t get it, Jiyu. This girl does not make any sense, and I have a feeling she is just going to break my heart.”
Seeing her best friend so distraught, Jiyu knew exactly what she needed to do. She needed to try to link the two of them up, she needed to try to convince Subin to give a relationship with Sumin a chance. Most of all, she wanted her dear friend to be happy, so she wanted to do whatever she could to help her.
“Maybe… I could try talking to her?” Jiyu offered. “Perhaps with another voice in her ear, she may be more likely to decide to give a relationship a chance?” She suggested, ready to act as a wingwoman to bring the two of them together.
“If you think it will help,” Sumin responded, lifting her head out of her hands. “Then go for it. I need to try whatever I can.”
“Okay, I will give it a try then,” Jiyu nodded. “The next time I see Subin, I’ll talk to her about it and we’ll see how it goes,” she promised her friend. “If I get any other ideas, I’ll let you know.”
“Thank you,” Sumin smiled, pulling Jiyu into a gentle hug. “What did I do to deserve a friend like you?”
“It’s nothing, really. It’s what friends do, look out for each other,” Jiyu returned the hug, holding her friend close before they both let go of each other. Sumin got up off of Jiyu’s bed, feeling satisfied enough with their conversation.
“Well, I’ll leave you be now,” Sumin smiled as she turned to look back at Jiyu. “Goodnight. I hope you sleep well.”
“Thanks, you too,” Jiyu smiled back, watching as Sumin left her bedroom to go off towards her own for the night.
Now, the plan was set. The next time Jiyu sees Subin, she will talk to her and try to gauge where her mind is at. She would try to act as a wingwoman for the two women, convincing Subin to start an official relationship with Subin. Though, she would not expect the curveballs soon to come.
