chapter 21: Feeling Your Comfort

A/n: *no note*

Eunwoo POV:

Both teams were tied and it was all down to 1 point to determine the winner of this game.

We were all getting really competitive now, especially team 3 after losing the last game they had with team 2.

Everybody was moving around swiftly, following the ball, keeping an eye out for their surroundings and defending the goal all at the same time.

After a bunch of dribbling, blocking and running around, our team's player finally shot the last goal into the hoop.

Me- "Yes"

I silently cheered.

Our team celebrated the win and cheered while jumping around and clapping. I looked around and found Jin-ae clapping and smiling while looking around, confused at what just happened.

She realized what happened and clapped along with the others.

Dae-Hoon- "God fucking dammit, why do we always lose?!"

He suddenly grabbed the basketball and slammed it real hard on the nearby wall, causing a really loud bang to echo throughout the gym.

Some issues he's got

I shook my head while sighing out loud. Then I suddenly remembered...

oh no..

My head immediately looked towards where Jin-ae was sitting.

She was looking around nervously, trying to cool herself down by puffing her shirt in and out while struggling to breath properly.

Just as I was about to go and make my way towards her someone grabbed my shoulder.

I looked at them, slightly annoyed.

Moonbin- "Woaaah, why are you so mad? Are you okay? We just wanted to celebrate for a little while, our team"

I swallowed my anger, trying to keep it in while constantly looking at Jin-ae, worried if it could get worse.

Me- "Look, I'm sorry but I don't think I can-"

I suddenly got cut off by someone pushing me towards our teammates while laughing.

Student- "C'mon dude, everybody else is waiting for you"

I was now in the circle of all my teammates and I looked at the student, annoyed while glaring at him. Then another student cut in and told us to be quick.

Student- "Ok guys, let's be quick because I'm really exhausted, I need to drink water"

We all put our hands in the middle of the circle we created and did our little celebratory chant.

Teacher- "Ok, let's have a short break!"

Everybody left the circle, finally letting me out.

I looked around and found Jin-ae looking down at her hands, they were shaking.. a whole lot.

Without another thought, I ran her direction but she made it out the door before she could even notice me running towards her.

Me- "You were so close, Eunwoo"

I quickly ran all the way up the stands to get my jacket and rushed out of the gym immediately.

Not knowing where she went, I took a glance at the first fleet of stairs going up but didn't see anyone.

She couldn't have gone that far in that state

I thought.

Suddenly, I heard soft sniffles and unsteady breaths down the stairs, making me look towards that direction.
