There are very few things that the girls of SM High can agree on, but one of them is this: Kris Wu is utter perfection. He is tall and gentlemanly, has beautiful bone and facial structures, is the captain of the basketball team, and gets grades that would make any Asian mother weep tears of joy and pride, all while maintaining a cool yet kind demeanor. The chronic inability for anybody outside a truly fortunate elite to get close to him only adds to his appeal, as far as they are concerned, because he is only more desirable for his elusivity. Every day that passes, the likelihood that one of them will actually faint at his feet when he passes through the hallway rises like an exponential function.

There are even fewer things that Zitao can agree with any girl in SM High on, but one of them is this: Kris Wu is utter perfection. Definitely one-hundred percent his ideal type to a tee, especially because he is only interested in guys who are taller than him, which is an unfortunate rarity. He tries to keep his crush on the down-low, though, because his friends are all utterly unencouraging and would probably tease him about it until he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. To be fair, though, that is exactly what he would do if he found out any of them had embarrassingly huge crushes on unattainable school legends. He fails miserably at it, because all attempts at subtlety tend to fly straight out the window and into the wind whenever Kris is even being discussed. Luckily, his friends are all fairly thick-headed when it comes to stuff like this.

Zitao thinks he probably secretly a little masochistic by falling in love with somebody like Kris Wu, who is probably straight despite his notorious reputation at being incredibly evasive when it comes to girls confessing to him. Quite frankly, though, he does not care, and is content to stare longingly and look without touching, even if it does feel an awful lot like an extensive exercise in hating himself.

Before transferring to SM High, Zitao was told that transfer students and international students have mysterious allure and should attract plenty of new friends without any problems, and looked forward greatly to the experience. When he got there, he sadly discovered that transfer and international students made up a significant portion of the general population, and any sort of appeal from it had already become more or less a novelty. So he sucked it up and made friends the old-fashioned way, awkwardly but (mostly) happily, and fell in with the likes of Byun Baekhyun, Lu Han, and Oh Sehun, who were almost as frustrating as they were fun, a bunch of kids that Zitao might have ended up hating if it weren’t for the fact that they’d ended up best friends. All of them are weird and quirky in their own ways, some more blatantly than others - Lu Han in particular has a certain infamy - but they get along well anyway.

Sometimes, Zitao goes with Sehun and Lu Han to watch basketball practices after school. Lu Han goes to support Minseok, Zitao goes to stare at Kris, and Sehun goes because he actually enjoys watching the sport, a concept which is mildly foreign to the other two. To keep up appearances, though, Zitao attempts to at least pretend as if he’s going out of appreciation for the sport and not to ogle the team captain, which often leads to awkward conversations where Sehun starts talking about point guards and traveling under the assumption that Zitao actually comprehends what the rules of the game are.

“Wow, Chanyeol’s playing small forward today? That’s kind of weird. Doesn’t he usually play power forward?” Sehun comments.

“Huh? Oh, yeah... weird...” Zitao echoes half-heartedly as his eyes follow Kris on the court. Kris is sweating a little, and the skin on his neck is glistening. Zitao normally hates feeling dirty, and hates it when other people look dirty, but somehow Kris manages to still look devastatingly attractive. His crush has already gotten to the point where he only hates himself a little bit for thinking weird things like this.

“ - should really keep him at his old position, I don’t think he’s as good at small forward.” Sehun pauses, before furrowing his brow and peering over at Zitao. “Are you okay? You seem really out of it.”
