Whatever It Takes (ITZY x Male Reader)

Care About You

(A/N): Hey there Blossoms! How's it going?

Holy crap... I'm actually back with another update! Woohoo!

This chapter is something I worked REALLY hard on because... This chapter would have a lot of UwU's!!! Meaning that the romance is actually getting more alive and present.

Shoutouts:

I want to thank Aky0nBLAP and Yenalogy for helping me with ideas and scenarios. Thanks, dude!

I also want to thank 2kimchaeju for making time just to help me with descriptive lines and dialogues, as well as helping me improve in writing. Thanks, big bro!

Now, with no further announcements, we can finally indulge ourselves in CHAPTER 12 of Whatever It Takes! LET'S GO!!!!

"(L/N) gets the steal and runs up down the court, Robinson catching up behind him, (Y/N) explodes and Robinsons goes up and contests it-"

*multiple whistles*

"OH, WHAT IS THIS?! ROBINSON ELBOWS (L/N) IN THE FACE MIDAIR AND SHOVES HIM DOWN ON THE GROUND HARD! THAT WOULD BE AN UNSPORTSMANLIKE FOUL AND AN AUTOMATIC EJECTION FOR ROBINSON! HE'S OUT OF THE GAME!"

One of the commentators exclaimed as the camera then showed (Y/N)'s teammates furiously going towards Robinson, causing a huge scuffle.

"HACKSON AND STRUG RUSHES TOWARDS ROBINSON AND ARE CURRENTLY HAVING A SCUFFLE WITH HIM NOW, STANDING UP FOR THEIR HURT TEAMMATE! They have to be separated now or things will not be pretty."

Yeji became worried and anxious, waiting for the camera to pan in (Y/N)'s direction. She can't help but be angry at the guy who did that to him and feel rather...... sad, seeing him struggle like that, especially in that situation.

"(Y/N) is still struggling on the floor right now, holding his nose with one hand and holding his ankle with the other." After a few seconds, (Y/N) starts sitting up and removes his hand from his nose, lots of blood flowing out of his nostrils.

Yeji couldn't handle it and looked away for a moment, cringing at the amount of blood on his nose and hands. (Y/N) then stood up and walked towards the bench, limping, with Mark helping him in case he fell.

Yeji looked back not long after and it shows an instant replay of what happened, showing more details that the naked eye could have missed earlier.

"I don't know if (Y/N) can continue playing, Jerry. I think he broke his nose just now."

"I'm not too sure either, Miles. He also landed awkwardly on his left foot. It looked like a sprained ankle."

"Well, he is being taken to the locker room to treat those injuries. Let's just hope that he turns out okay."

"I agree."

Yeji felt bad for (Y/N), who broke his nose AND sprained his ankle, watching him walking towards the locker room, possibly to be treated to prevent more complications with his injuries.

But as if seeing him getting injured wasn't enough, the video shows (Y/N) walking out of the tunnel and towards their bench just moments later. He's now wearing a bandage for his broken nose and an ankle brace for his sprained left ankle.

'What?? Why is he walking back out?? Yeji felt relieved yet worried about seeing (Y/N) walking out of the tunnel, looking okay. She just hoped that (Y/N) went back out, not to play, but just to watch the game from the bench.
