Yunjin put on her pink bandanna, she was all fired up and ready to go.
Their team had already discussed their strategy for the Kibasen, deciding on having Lily as their rider since she was the smallest.
Another reason for their decision was because Lily was quite feisty and always had something up her sleeve.
Yunjin would be taking the front, while Jake and Huening Kai were assigned to protect the back.
They decided to do this as people were usually focused on downing the ones who were at the back, and stronger members would be an advantage to keep their team intact.
All four of them got ready, and both Kai and Jake carried Lily up. She was sitting on both their shoulders while her legs stretched out all the way to Yunjin's shoulders.
Yunjin then looked around for Kazuha until she saw her. She was designated as their team's rider, while both Shuhua and Taehyung were assigned to the back and Sakura to the front.
Yunjin wondered how Kazuha was holding up. She had complained almost non-stop about the fact that Sakura was going to be her teammate and had even attempted to bribe their teacher to have her sent to a different team.
But Mr. Bang was having none of it, so Kazuha didn't have a choice but to go along with what she had.
Yunjin was still kinda miffed with what Sakura did, especially with the fact that she had taken away her chance to confess first. But she decided that perhaps maybe there was a reason for everything.
She looked at Kazuha's team again and furrowed her eyebrows as she noticed that Sakura was wearing a black beret along with her bandanna.
She decided it was harmless and turned around to check Chaewon's team.
She noticed that Bang chan seemed to be a little bit too close for comfort with Chaewon for her liking. Chaewon meanwhile, seemed to be laughing with whatever joke he had told her.
Yunjin narrowed her eyes as Bang chan continued to flirt with Chaewon. She didn't like it one bit, and Yunjin always thought he was a douchebag.
They pulled up Chaewon and Yunjin realized she was going to be their rider. Dayeon was at the front while the other two were at the back.
Bang chan tickled Chaewon who laughed and playfully smacked his hand away.
Yunjin frowned at the scene. He was being too close for his own good. She oughta smack that hand for being too familiar with her best friend.
Lily tapped her head, "Hey Yunjin, did you hear what I just said?"
"Huh?"
"Nevermind. Stop ogling at your girlfriend and focus on the game."
"What? She's not-"
"Yeah, yeah, she's not your girlfriend. Let's just focus, okay?"
"Uuh...sure."
"But I do say Chaewon is pretty cute." Kai said, looking at her and smiling.
"Yeah Yunjin, can we get her number?"
"No, she's off limits."
"Does she have a boyfriend? Or girlfriend?"
"No."
"Then why-"
"She's just off limits, okay?" she said with a huff.
Kai and Jake looked at each other with a knowing smile.
"Alright, alright Huh. Backing off here." Jake said good naturedly.
A feedback from where the stage was located was heard, and they all turned towards the sound. They saw Miss Lee holding a microphone.
"Okay girls and boys, are you ready?!"
"Yeah!!!" everyone shouted at the same time.
"At the sound of the whistle, the game will begin. Once again, please be careful not to injure each other."
Yunjin braced herself.
"On the count of three, we will begin! One...two...three!"
The whistle blew and off they went.
It was chaos!
Their team was careful not to bump into people at random. Since Yunjin was tall, she was able to see her surroundings quite well.
Lily was also directing them to where and which teams they should get first.
As the game progressed, Yunjin and her team were able to snatch 3 bandannas. Lily was too good at this and was quite observant.
"Let's try to avoid some teams for now." she noted.
However, they were not prepared when a team had tried to separate them.
They almost did but thankfully, all 3 were quick enough to make sure their team stayed stable.
"Jesus Christ, watch out! You could hurt somebody!" Lily yelled out.
"We're here to bring you down, Lily!" Dayeon told her.
"Bite me, Dayeon!"
Yunjin saw Chaewon smirking at her.
"This is the showdown we have been waiting for Yunjin!"
Chaewon fighting about food certainly turned on her competitive spirit.
"You can try, Chaewon-ah, but you'll never win!"
"Don't show mercy on your girlfriend Yunjinya!" Lily shouted.
"She's not my girlfriend!" both of them said in unison.
They looked at each other and turned away quickly. Yunjin felt her cheeks heat up.
"I don't care. Anyway team, chaaaarge!" Lily yelled while pointing to the other team's direction.
Both teams clashed as Chaewon tried to take away Lily's bandanna. Lily was having some difficulty as Chaewon was taller and had a better reach than her.
Yunjin observed this, and switched quickly to the side. She eyed Bang chan and saw her opportunity to try and tackle him.
She bumped into him hard and he almost fell, but was quickly saved by Wooyoung .
She smirked.
They continued to clash and Chaewon's team had almost separated several times.
Yunjin saw the look of worry on her best friend's face. She realized that she was really that invested in this game.
She smiled at herself. Trust her best friend to do everything in her power when it comes to food.
She moved once again and this time, Dayeon had tried to tackle her.
It really wasn't that strong of a bump, but Yunjin was pushed back and had promptly fell on her butt.
Their team collapsed and Lily was thankfully caught by Kai and Jake.
Chaewon screamed in delight and laughed as she saw Yunjin's defeated face.
"Hey, Yunjinya are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My pride might need a bit of nursing." she said grinning sheepishly at her.
Chaewon smiled in victory.
"Well then, this means that I won the bet!"
"Unfortunately."
Lily stood up and brushed herself off.
"As usual, your unlucky streak still gets back at us." she said, and walked off the field.
"Good game guys." Kai told them.
"Same." Jake piped in. He pulled Yunjin up and he looked at her, then patted her on the back.
"Hope it was worth it." he whispered and winked at her, then he went off together with Kai.
Seeing Chaewon smiling and laughing happily made her soft.
Yeah, she might be unlucky, but she knew she was the luckiest person in the world to have her as a best friend.
And looking at her, she knew it was worth it every single time to lose on purpose just so she can see her happy.
