Rivals - Taejin

Chapter 2

*Seokjin's POV*

*school bell rings*

Finally, school ended and I only have to go to basketball training. Usually training begins after classes.

Jungkook and I walk over to the dressing rooms. We quickly dress up and go to the hall. Coach is already waiting with a pissed expression.I do not have to be alarmed about his expression. After all, his usual day to day expression is pissed. It's a way of trying to intimidate people, he's just acting as if he's mad. No biggy.

"IM MAD.", Coach roars.

Well..

"EVERY YEAR THE SAME PROCEDURE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO GET IT! I TELL YOU TO BE ON TIME."

Everyone in the team flinches.

I look at the clock, it's literally only two minutes that we're late. He is literally exaggerating.

"WE ARE NOT COMPLETE.", Coach yells while looking at each one of us and checking if we're there. " OF COURSE! KIM TAEHYUNG IS LATE! ONCE A-"

"Sorry coach, I was caught up in a conversation with my teacher.", he said jogging up to us shirtless with his T-shirt in his hand.

I tsk. Of course Taehyung. We aren't buying it. We all know that he was busy making out with a girl and had no time to dress up.

"IT'S fine. BUT DONT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.", Coach says.

Damn, that man really bought it. I cannot help but roll my eyes. My coach is biased.

"Alright everyone, new year, new captain. Anyone who wants to become the team's captain should raise his hand.", Coach orders.

I raise my hand. I was so ready to become the captain.

But of course, It won't be easily given since Taehyung was volunteering for the position too. With a smirk he raises his hands too.

"Alright so Taehyung or Seokjin. You both are great players. In order to become the captain, one of you has to show if you are capable of winning against each other. So you will be playing against each other. The winner becomes captain and the loser, loses."

"No shit sher-", I mutter under my breath but Jungkook sushes me with his elbow pushing into my rips.

Taehyung and I, all warmed up are standing next to each other now and are waiting for the teacher to throw the ball in the air and get the game started.

And so it begins. The duel for our social status in school.

"MAY THE BETTER ONE, WIN."
*Seokjin POV ends*

*Third person POV*

Seokjin jumps high and gets the ball. He dribbles to the net, trying to pass Taehyung, who was trying to get the ball from him. Seokjin runs as fast as he can and makes the first dunk. The ball goes in and Seokjin scores.

Taehyung, who had muttered something under his breath, did not let that slide and took the ball  and forced a layup.

The game was getting more and more intense. People from school and a lot of fan girls of both Seokjin and Taehyung were beginning to watch the game.

*thud* Taehyung was on the floor, holding his leg in pain.

"What the fuck man, that was a foul.", Taehyung was fuming.

"What are you talking about?! You literally threw yourself down onto the floor.", Seokjin who was not letting that go, he was also angered.

"BREAK IT OFF!", the coach had said and the two guys, who were now angrier than before, decided to continue the match.

The scores were the same 18 to 18. The first one to get 20 would win the match.

Seokjin had gotten the ball. This time he was aiming straight to the net with long slides.

Taehyung, who was blocking him from aiming, accidentally hit his face with his elbow when they both jumped high up.

*thud* Seokjin was on the floor, gripping his face.

Seokjin was really mad, he stood up and stormed to Taehyung and grabbed him by his shirt. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, FOULING ME BY PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE, ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE?!"

Taehyung who had enough of his yelling pushed him away. "IT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE, STOP BEING A PU-"

"ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP. YOU BOTH ARE ACTING LIKE KIDS. DO YOU THINK I DID NOT NOTICE HOW BOTH OF YOU WERE FOULING EACH OTHER THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME?! YOU BOTH ARE EMBARRASSING. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! THIS GAME IS DISCONTINUED.*

Taehyung and Seokjin look at him with wide eyes. "Coach no! You cannot do this, we have to finish."

"NO I'M NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH YOUR SHIT. I WAS EXPECTING PROFESSIONALISM. YOU BOTH DID NOT SHOW THAT. EVERYONE GO HOME. TODAY WAS THE WORST DAY OF MY 15 YEARS OF COACHING. HOW UNFORTUNATE FOR ME TO HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH BULLSHIT IN MY PRECIOUS LIFE. THE CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM WILL BE PICKED OUT NEXT WEEK BY ME. OH AND, the captain won't be either one of you.", he said looking at both taehyung and seokjin with anger.

"BUT-", Taehyung and Seokjin say at the same time.

"NO BUTS, I AM GETTING A HEAD ACHE, TRAINING IS OVER." The coach had yelled so much that all the blood in his body had shot up to his face. He left the hall.

Seokjin and Taehyung were standing there speechless.

They looked at each other.

"You motherf-", Seokjin begun-

Taehyung who was about to throw a punch was interrupted by Yoongi, who was trying to pull Taehyung away from Seokjin, who in the meantime was also pulled away by Jungkook.

"BOTH OF YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!", Jungkook says and drags Seokjin to the dressing room, to get their stuff and head home.

Seokjin's POV:

I'm back home and angry. I ate some food my mother had cooked me before she left for work. I am so mad. I was now laying on the sofa in the living room, trying to calm my nerves while watching a show.

My phone was lighting up because of notifications.

Jungkook was asking me if I was down to go to the party that Jackson was throwing. I needed something to get my mind off, so I believe, the party is where I go to now.
