Heartbreak

Y/N POV

We were reaching the crucial stage of the season already having qualified for the quarter finals in the champions league and almost winning the league.

I managed to average a goal of 1-2 goals per match where I almost break another league record of goals scored in a season.

We were leading the league with 6 points and mistakes from here on onwards can cost us a lot in this run. The title was within our reach.

It was another normal match day for my team Napoli, in the league. We have a champions league quarter final first leg match to attend to next week.

The Serie A league title race was too tight as the coach can't afford to waste any chance by playing me every week. I had no complaints on it, I love being able to play.

As the match kicked off we proceeded as usual, trying our best to win the game with our team chemistry.

25 minutes into the first half, I felt something that immediately made me fall into the ground as I groaned in pain.

The players in the field quickly approached me and called for the medic.

It was too painful that I couldn't continue the match as the coach called a sub in to replace me.

I was brought to the medic room and after a thorough check by the medics, they officially told me that I had a severe hamstring injury. A hamstring tear to be exact.

An ambulance was called to bring me to the hospital to confirm the claim. I was hoping that the medics were wrong but unfortunately they were right.

The doctor told me that recovery may be as long as three months. Returning to sports before the injury is fully healed can cause more severe injuries.

I felt a sense of regret for pushing myself too hard every week and leaving my team behind. I was still hoping that my team could still win without me.
            
             
Winter POV

We watched as Y/N was carried out from the field trying to hold the pain. The thing we feared the most has happened to Y/N as he caught an injury during his match.

We were all speechless and shocked. Before, we were cheering for him like a lot and when he suddenly fell on the ground, the room went quiet.

I started to tear up as I panicked trying to reach out to Y/N. Karina calmed me down saying that there's a possibility that it could be a minor injury.

From the look of Y/N's face just now, it didn't look like a small injury. I continued crying as I started sobbing as the members comforted me.

"It's ok Minjeongie, let's call him when it feels like the right time" Karina patted my back as she hugged me.

"Y/N is strong unnie! Don't worry about him" Ningning spoke out after.

"I-i-i need to k-know if he's ok or not" I stuttered due to my sobbing.

"I'll give him a text right now to ask about his condition. Don't worry Minjeong, I'm sure he's doing fine now" Giselle said and sent a text to Y/N to make sure.

I was a crying mess already and the thought of Y/N hurting made it worst making me whimpering.
           
               
Y/N POV

I was sent back home after the check up from the hospital. The club has posted an official announcement about my injury as the fans were worried about me.

Good thing our team won the match as we extended our lead in the league, but I was disappointed that I now don't have a single chance to fight with the team for our champions league run.

I received a text from Giselle. She said that Winter was worried and asked about my condition now. They already found out about my injury from the official announcement.

I told them that I was told to rest at home for months making me walk in crutches.

She also told me to call Winter as she was a crying mess at the moment in her room with Karina and Ningning.

After reading that text I immediately felt bad and called her.

"Hello noona?" I spoke to the phone after it was picked up.

"Hey look Minjeongie, it's Y/N. You should stop crying now" Karina's voice appeared as she was the one who picked up the call.

"We're gonna leave her to you Y/N. Bye" She continued and passed the phone to Winter as she and Ningning went out of  Winter's room.

"Y-Y/N?" Winter stuttered as sounds of sniffles could be heard from her.

"Yes it's me noona. I'm doing fine here, it's just a common injury for footballers. It's bound to happen" I tried to calm her down.

"B-but you are hurt Y/N" She whimpered.

"It can recover, can you please stop crying. I'm starting to feel bad for making you cry" I softly said.

"Seeing you cry just makes me hurt more noona. Where's the mischievous Minjeong that I know" I continued.

"O-o-k I'll s-stop" Winter said as she wiped her tears and tried her best to hold in her tears.

"I'm sorry I can't be there to comfort you noona" I blamed myself.

"Don't apologize dummy, I also feel sorry that I can't be there for you when you're hurt" Winter replied, her voice was still trembling.

"I wish I could be there to hug you right now" I said nonchalantly.

The call went silent for a moment. Winter was blushing and felt her face getting hotter.

"Me too...." She responded as her voice got softer.
              
               
Karina POV

Winter and Y/N were busy talking to each, me and the other members were eavesdropping them from the opposite of her door.

I could feel her sincerity in their conversation. I came up with a plan and shared it with Ningning and Giselle.

"Guys, how about we plan a surprise for Winter to meet Y/N" I shared my idea.

"To italy? Are you sure that's gonna work. We have schedules dumbo" Giselle spoke on her thoughts.

"Would our manager even allow it?" Ningning questioned.

"Let's just tell him the truth, honestly he wouldn't want to see Winter attending schedules in a depressed state" I told them as they somehow made sense of the idea.

"That's actually true, let's call him now" Giselle said and took out her phone.

"Let's hope that he understands" Ningning hoped.

We called him and told him that Winter was having a bad mood. He asked why at first as we sighed and told him that she misses Y/N very much. He also sighed and said that he understands them, he knew that Winter was acting like this because of Y/N's injury.

"I could try replacing your schedules to a later date for Winter to see him" our manager said as we were delighted.

"Thank you very much oppa, thanks for understanding the situation" Giselle responded.

"I just know that Winter's mood will keep getting worst if she can't see him" he sighed.
              
            
Y/N POV

"I promise you if I can start walking I'll go back to Korea" I made a promise to Winter not even certain that I can keep that promise.

"Then I'll be looking forward to that day!" Winter spoke in a greater mood than just now.

"Bye Minjeongie"

"Goodbye Y/N, i hope you recover faster"
