Chapter 4 ₊˚⊹ ♡

I knocked on the office door as a voice calls me in. My heart stops when I see the whole basketball team inside. Seeing their faces plastered with a smirk, the fear inside of me snaps and it's replaced by irritation.

"Can I help?" I ask politely, straining my face not to scowl. At that point, I didn't even care that my crush was a meter away from me.

"We have heard the rumors about you playing basketball in Australia..." the principal says.

"Okay. And?" I mutter. I earn surprised glances from the basketball team. My friends lean forward, reminding me to show respect.

"Well... I was wondering why you weren't playing for the team," the principal says indicating to the basketball players.

"I'm not really sure that's any of your business."

"Lee Felix. That is not--" the principal starts but a voice cuts him off.

"I'm sorry sir. He just doesn't feel comfortable playing basketball after an incident occurred back in Australia. Please do not question beyond this," Jisung says politely, but there is evident anger and venom in his voice. The principal sighs.

"Felix... we really need a player. As you know, most of the players are in their senior years and will be leaving soon. Taehyun, Taehyung, San, Soobin, Chan and Changbin. Hyunjin and Minho are only staying for another year. They also need to study for exams, meaning that they'd need a break from basketball. We are trying to recruit new players but no one has the abilities. For now, we need someone like you."

"I'm sorry sir, but why are there no females in the team? Being a skilled basketball player, I have seen multiple capable and talented female players. Why have you chosen only men on the team?" I question. He stays silent and looks away.

"All schools have a girl team for all sports. All schools but ours. What type of gender equality is this?" Jeongin mutters.

"It concerns me to see that you teach the importance of gender equality but you yourself, never imply it. It's highly disappointing seeing that one of the highest schools in the country isn't fair towards genders," Jisung states. The basketball team has their mouths wide open and their eyes as large as saucepans.

"I will play for them," I say. The principal looks up in surprise.

"But on one condition. For every sport this school plays, you must create a team for the girls," I say. The principal skeptically stares at me for a moment before nodding.

"Alright. We'll do just that," he says, "So you're part of the team now...?"

"Yes."

I take a deep breath, That's when it hits me.

OH SHIT! I SAID YES. WHAT HAVE I DONE? I HAD PROMISED I WOULDN'T PLAY AGAIN!

I turn to Jisung and Jeongin who are staring at me in surprise.

"You... said yes?" Jeongin whispered to me.

"I said yes? Crap!" I shout-whisper, grabbing my hair.

"What are you going to do?" Jisung asks.

"Maybe I should go into hiding," I say.

'What!? What type of solution is that?" Jisung says.

"Then what the hell do I do? Move back to Australia? Kill myself? Blow up this school? Turn North Korea against South Korea to start a war?"

"WOAH! CHILL! The options you're giving yourself are just getting increasingly worse!" Jeongin gasps, face-palming his head, "Where the hell did the war come from?"

narrator: As the three boys were bickering, they had forgotten a group of boys staring at them. Especially, Chan, Hyunjin, and Minho.

"Guess we have a new player on this team..."

"He seems interesting..."

"This won't end well..."

-- a few moments later --

"Uh hey... cousin..." Chan says, waving to me.

"Cousin-- what? Oh wait, I forgot your my cousin," I groan.

"COUSIN!? HE'S YOUR COUSIN?" the whole basketball team shouts.

"Yeah, he is!" Chan says. The team turns to me in surprise. Suddenly they crowd around me making me take a step back.

"Your short!"

"You have freckles!"

"Your hair is blonde!"

"Your so small!"

"You're kinda cute!"

"I saw the video of you playing!"

"You were amazing!"

They bombarded me with questions and compliments, making me cringe in annoyance. I'm about to punch one of them when Jisung puts a hand in front of me.

"Take a step back please," he says.

"Who are you to tell us that?" Minho asks.

"Be glad he told you otherwise I would've punched you," I scoff.

"You have quite an attitude," a voice says. My eyes widen as my crush smirks at me. A blush creeps up my neck but I immediately push it down.

"It's not attitude. It's called sarcasm," I reply, rolling my eyes.

"You'll never get a girl to like you if you act like that," Hyunjin says.

"Who said it would be a girl?" I grin wickedly.

"You're gay?" Chan asks.

"Oh please! Most of you guys are gay as well. You're just too dumb to realise or you're denying it! At least I'm a confident gay! Unlike you cowards," I scoff.

"Apart from Taehyung and Taehyun, the rest of us a straight!" San argues. I turn to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Wanna hear something funny, San?" I grin. The room goes dead silent as San desperately shakes his head.

"Too late! San! You like Wooyoung. Yet Wooyoung doesn't like you back so you end up playing with girls and sleeping with them to try to get rid of your feelings towards him! Except you can't! Soobin! We're in the same class but you probably don't notice me since you're too busy drifting off into your own dreamland. But you're pretty much gay since your choice of clothing gives, 'I'm on top' vibes. Minho! People who look at you wouldn't think you are gay or straight! Because of your cold, closed-off aura, even I couldn't tell. But you do have a crush on a specific someone. Not going to say it because I know who this 'someone' is. Stupidly enough, this 'someone' can't take a hint! I've caught you staring at him way too many times! Chan! You know you're Bi but haven't told anyone. Your vibe kinda reads - I'M A RAGING BISEXUAL - but less hostile and mostly secretive. I wonder how none of your teammates has figured that out! Changbin! You're not gay or straight. It's rather obvious though. You don't see the points in a relationship so you choose not to be in one. Hyunjin! I believe you're straight as a pencil. Inside out. Also, you have a gold-digger girlfriend that nobody but your stupid, pesky little head likes! There! I've exposed all of you!"

They all gape at me in horror. All but Hyunjin, who seems slightly annoyed.

"Who are you?" they whisper.

"Just someone you don't want on your bad side!" I exclaim. I walk out of the office with Jisung and Jeongin following behind.
