Chapter 16

"Lee Jieun! Hurry up or we're going to be late!"

Crap...

I quickly ran down the stairs and met up with Hyeri. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door. We weren't late...Hyeri was just too excited because she wanted to see Taehyung before the game started.

We got to TaeDo High in ten minutes by bus. Hyeri pulled me out and we walked up the steps of TaeDo High. I could hear cheers from courts already. They must have started.

"Another amazing shot by the famous Jeon Jungkook! The score is now 30-15 mainly because of Jungkook's beautiful shots," the announcer said.

I could see the players playing now. Hyeri pulled me closer. Wow...there were so many people here...

I watched Jungkook run halfway down the court and then shoot. Wow...Hyeri was right. They were so fast...

Jungkook's shot went in and the crowd cheered.

"Hurry Jieun!" Hyeri said, pulling me closer. Maybe I shouldn't be so close. Jungkook might see me...and I don't want to be the reason why he doesn't win...

"Hyeri ya...I don't want to get that close," I said, pulling on her arm.

But Hyeri pulled me right in the front where there were a few seats left. We were facing the basketball courts. If Jungkook were to look...he would find me...

I soon forgot about that since the game was so interesting. Everyone was so fast. It was like pro basketball I see on TV but even better. Jungkook was...great...

During halftime, Hyeri yelled out Taehyung's name.

No...don't do that. I tried to hide myself by turning away.

Taehyung heard her and came towards her. "You came!"

"I said I would, wouldn't I?" Hyeri said. "Jieun...why are you hiding?!"

Damn...

"Hi Taehyung..." I said giving him a hesitant smile.

"Jieun..." Taehyung muttered as if he didn't want me to be here.

"YAH! TAEHYUNG! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

Everyone suddenly turned to look at us. The whole team and the whole crowd just stopped talking and turned to look at...us. Ehh...

"Taehyung! Who's that?!" a girl screamed from the crowd.

"Who is that girl?!"

"What's her name?!

"Is she your girlfriend?!"

I sat back down, trying to be invisible. This wasn't my spotlight. I looked at Taehyung and Hyeri who were both standing up. Hyeri suddenly turned a dark shade of red. Wow Hyeri...I never really thought your face could turn that red...but I guess there's a first time for everything.

Hyeri tried to sit back down, but Taehyung grabbed her hand and made her stay up. She looked at me for help but I just stood there and smiled. I'm such an evil friend...

"MY GIRLFRIEND!" Taehyung screamed, holding onto Hyeri's hand.

I knew that Hyeri's face was a deeper shade of red without looking at her. I was right. She was frozen with shock as Taehyung held her hand tightly.

She suddenly realized what Taehyung did and pushed him off. She pushed him towards his teammates angrily. He smiled and then ran back to his teammates.

"Stupid idiot..." Hyeri muttered, sitting down again. She was trying to ignore all the stares people were giving her.

"He's just happy," I said smiling at her. "Don't tell me you didn't like the attention."
