Number 1 (aespa X Male Reader)

Rumours

Y/N POV

We arrived at the stadium to watch my team play the second leg of the champions league against AC Milan. AC Milan was leading 1-0 from the first leg as I hoped that my team can come up with a comeback.

We were greeted by one of the staffs from the club which I was close with and he led us to our own private stand. The girls even bought the team's jersey from the merch shop there.

They look so cute wearing the team jersey and at the same time stylish.

Winter as usual stuck to me like a glue and took care of me even when I don't need it.

While waiting for the game to start, we bought foods and drinks to fill up our tummy as we watch the teams warmup on the pitch.

Soon after, my presence at the stadium gained attention as the camera was pointed towards me, appearing on the big screen at the stadium. I just waved awkwardly, the girls laughed at my action but the crowd cheered for me like a hero.

I was really disappointed that I couldn't be there for my team when it really mattered but I still hoped that they can do it without me.

Not long after, the game was finally starting as they kicked off the ball.

Both teams are well known to be strong candidates to qualify for the finals.

As the game went on, the opposing team scored making me frustrated more, my passion for the game was showing as I grew more furious by the match.

Winter saw my actions and held my hand, caressing it. Honestly it made more calmer as I took a deep breath and apologized to the girls. They just laughed it off and said it was ok.

The game was nearing the end already and our team is yet to score a goal, all hope for us advancing was lost as the crowd was getting more silent.

Then exactly at the 91st minutes, our team managed to score a goal lighting up the fan's hope once again as the team skipped the celebration trying to not waste time. We needed two more goal to win the match, we were trailing by 1-2.

Unfortunately, every good run must come to an end as the referee blew the whistle indicating the end of the match. We could only watch the joy of the opponent celebrating that they qualified for the next stage.

I blamed myself for the outcome and mentally cursed at myself. Suddenly a hug came upon me and it was Winter.

"Don't blame yourself Y/N-ie. You've already proven yourself, there's no need for you to win the cup as you are still the number 1 in my eyes" She comforted like she had read my mind.

"Thank you Minjeongie, this is why I love you" I responded her and hugged her back as I kissed her head from above.

After being calmed down by Winter, I went to the pitch to comfort my team.

They were happy to see me. I apologized to them but what I received was a smack in the back by Min Jae hyung.

"Why the hell are you apologizing hahaha" He said making my other teammates laugh.

"It's not like you can play with your crutches" He continued.

"The other team simply played better today" Kvaratskhelia followed up as he scratched his head.

"Don't let this get to your mind, we still have a title race to win!" Our team captain encouraged everyone as we huddled up.

The girls was watching Y/N from the stand, they saw a different side of Y/N today, a more passionate and dedicated man who would do anything for the team's success. Even with his crutches, he managed to approach every single one of his teammates to comfort them.

I returned back to the girls after meeting my teammates who was mostly doing fine even after losing the match.

"Shall we head home?" I asked the girls and they nodded.

"Let's eat first. All that shouting and cheering is making me hungry" Giselle suggested and I accepted it.

I brought them to my favourite restaurant which served the best italian foods and we ordered our foods respectively.

We then headed straight back home after the dinner. It was already late and everyone went to their rooms immediately upon arriving.

"Uhm can I sleep with you again Y/N?" Winter asked as I was entering my room.

"Huh? Of course you can dummy, you don't even have to ask me that hahah" I ruffled her hair and went inside my room.

"Hehe I'll be back in a minute" She went to her shared room with Karina, maybe to go change into her pyjamas.

After a few minutes, she finally joined me in my room in her pyjamas after quickly washing up and we cuddled in bed before heading off to dreamland.
              
                
Third person POV

Y/N and aespa didn't know that there was a rumour going around in social media stating that Y/N was dating one of the girls as pictures of them from the stadium were shown.

The fans started to solve the clues one by one as they slowly connected the dots from Y/N's and Winter's bracelet to them being in the same country together when the girls was supposed to be attending their schedules which was delayed.

There were mixed reactions, some of them were mad and unsatisfied from this bond between them and there are good people out there who actually encourage and support it.

The news started to get viral in Korea, tearing aespa's fans apart. Y/N and aespa still don't have a single clue about this as they were currently enjoying their sleep at Y/N's apartment.
