chapter 21

After a week of hardwork working on his first song, Yoshinori wanted to reward himself for doing a good job so he let himself enjoy for the rest of the night. Mashiho asked them earlier who wants to join him in playing basketball since he missed playing. He was expecting that many members would join him but only Yoshi, Doyoung and Yedam agreed. Yoshi  grabbed a white padded jacket from his closet to warm himself from the strong wind during nights. He went downstairs and waited for the other three. The others were not able to join them since they have something else to do, even though they want to they can’t. Once the four of them were ready, they headed out and decided to go to the nearest basketball park in their area. Lucky of them that there were no people in the area, possibly happened due to the fact that they went out late at night.

“Mashiho hyung, I heard you play like a pro. But I think you can’t beat me.” Doyoung confidently said since he’s been playing basketball the same time as he started dancing.

“Let’s see then.” Mashiho did not say anything after that, concentrating for awhile before he shows to them how good he can play basketball. Being the youngest, they decided to let Doyoung choose who he wants to be partnered with. He chose Yedam unhesitatingly which made the other smile.

They started the game with the ball going at Mashiho’s team. However, the first point goes on the other team after Yedam was able to have the ball on his hands and perfectly shoots it before it goes on the other team. Mashiho being competitive, gave his all and started to show them his top-tier skills. He succesfully did it when they scored 4 points ahead after 25 minutes. They played more for like an hour and Mashiho’s team won. Doyoung was kinda disappointed in himself but he's glad that he has someone like Mashiho in his group. He can tell that he was a good player himself but after seeing Mashiho play, he thought differently, Mashiho’s hard to beat and yeah, he's a big deal.

"Doyoungie, let's go buy some water, there's a convenience store near this area." Doyoung stand up from sitting one the ground and catched up with Mashiho.

Yedam spotted a soccer ball feet away from him. He called Yoshi who was laying on one of the benches near the court, breathing heavily. Yoshi sat up after hearing Yedam and seeing a soccer ball on his hand, he quickly ran into the front of the football goal nets, playing as the goalkeeper. They didn't realize that the place can be used to play football too. The two of them just continued playing through the night, waiting for Doyoung and Mashiho who took long by just buying bottled waters for them. It was Yedam' turn now to be a goalkeeper. He readied himself but before he can keep the ball from having contact with the net, he felt something painful on his left foot.

"Hyung! Help me!" Yoshi panicked and hurried to go to Yedam. He carried him and placed him on the bench where there was a brighter lighting.

Doyoung and Mashiho came back after having a cup of ramen that they didn't really plan to buy but the smell of it coming from the few customers eating made their stomach growl. Once they returned to the court, they heard Yedam's hurt voice.

"Yedam hyung! What happened to you?" Doyoung checked up the older to see that his left foot got bruised, it was not really big but it hurts.

"Can you walk, hyung? If you can't, here." Doyoung bent enough so Yedam can get on his back.

"Thank you Doyoungie but I think I can manage to walk." Yedam started to stand up and tried his best to walk straight but as he walks longer, the pressure he puts on his leg made it hurt more. Before he could suffer more, Doyoung got on one if his knees infront of him and offered him a piggy backride.

"Doyoungie, are you sure? I don't think you can-"

"Trust me hyung." Yedam did not protest and just get on Doyoung's back. Mashiho and Yoshi looked at them worriedly because Doyoung looks like he's just trying his best not to make Yedam fall from his back, but seeing how eager the youngest is, they just let him carry Yedam. Yoshi admired their cute friendship. It doesn't look like they're 17-18 years old, they look like innocent kids with a cute relationship.
