"Jeon YN, where the hell is your focus?" Mr Kim's voice brought you back, "I'm sorry Mr Kim," you apologized before concentrating back on the lecture.

"Where are you spacing out all day?" Jungkook was worried as he placed a hand on your forehead. "I'm not sick kookie, I just am not comfortable with Mom's wedding..." "But that's next week, isn't it?" Jimin wondered, "It is but now the date is nearing, I'm afraid she will abandon me just like before... I fear she will hate me all over again," You leaned onto Jungkook's shoulder. "Didn't you say Straykids are your step-brothers, I don't think they are bad. They look scary, but I don't think they are evil." Taehyung consoled, "That's what Oppa said." "It will be fine. Plus you're much older now. But you have to promise that you will tell us instead of keeping it from us." You nodded making them smile.

"Hey Buttercups," "Hi Sunbae, what are you doing here? Do you also play?" You wondered about seeing Felix on the basketball court. "Me, oh 'naur' way! Changbin Hyung is here, I'm waiting for him. And what brings you here?" "My friends are trying out, so I'm here to cheer them," "Friends? Who are they?" You pointed out to Jimin and Jungkook from the crowd and Felix nodded.

You turned your attention back to court and found the seniors grouping the ones who were here for the tryouts. "Chan and Minho Sunbae play basketball, I never knew." "Yes, Minho Hyung is the team captain. Chan Hyung doesn't play often but he's a member of the club. Changbin Hyung plays shooting guard." You looked over the court observing the different players.

"Can I ask you something Sunbae?" Felix turned to look at you, "Sure, why not?" "Were you in Australia?" He frowned at the question. "It's just that both you and Chan Sunbae have an accent, and I was wondering whether you have been in Australia before," "Oh, no, we both were born in Australia.. Our mom is Australian." "Your mom? But then shouldn't they all have an accent?" You were confused by the reply. "No. Our moms are different." You tried to process his words

How is that possible? I thought he and Han Sunbae were twins... But looking at them, they are really different... Ahhh, this is crazy!

"Don't work on it Buttercups. All our moms are different. You see, our father, soon to be yours too, was a player, so our moms are different. Minho Hyung's and Innie's mom was his legal wife, or Mrs Lee. But he had already married our mom in Australia even before that. Hyunjin was born out of wedlock like Seungmin. Jisungie's and Bin Hyung's mom was Mrs Lee's best friend, who had eyes on Mr Lee for a very long time. So thus we 8 were born from 5 different women..."

"I'm sorry that must have been hard on you all..." You looked down, "Not really, we all have been living together since I was five. Our moms practically handed us over to our dad and went on their way. Mrs Lee cared for us despite her husband's infidelity and she loved all of us as her own. But she died when I was 9... Dad loves us, that's what he says... But we don't care as we have each other... And now we have you too!" You smiled at him as he took your left hand in his. "We still have an accent because we do keep in touch with our grandparents back in Australia... So yeah the accent didn't fade..."

The game started between two such teams. Jimin and Jungkook were on the same team and seniors were keeping an eye on the players as well as the game was being recorded. The second team was aggressive from the beginning as they started committing fouls without being noticed. They had been continuing the fouls for some time and the coach, who is the referee was not paying any attention. One of them pushed Jimin for the third time and he lost balance and missed the shot which triggered you. His appeal too was dismissed, "That's a foul." You called out standing up making a lot of heads turn to you. "Buttercups what are you doing?" Felix tried to make you sit while a lot mocked you.

"You little kid, do you even know what basketball is?" One of the players called out, "You Big Kid, do you even know what fair play is?" "You think you know basketball?" "I know better than you," Coach interfered before a big fight broke out, "You are disturbing the game," He glared at you, "I wouldn't have disturbed if you had done your job properly," "Are you teaching me the game girl?" "Maybe I have to, if you're not refereeing properly," Some of the people from the crowd gasped at your words. Bangchan slowly walked up to you from the bench as a result of Minho's persuasion.

"Then why don't you do it?" Everyone widened their eyes at the challenge, "Sure," You were stopped by Bangchan but you had no intention to give in. "Princess, don't." you looked at him, "You're telling me that it was not a foul?" "No, but it's better if you don't go ag-" "Chickening out already, pathetic girls" The coach turned around with a scoff and you pushed past Chan.

"I'll show you proper refereeing." You walked up to him and he scoffed at you before stepping back. The game resumed and during the game a total of 6 players were fouled out and Jimin's team won by a margin of 17 points. The entire crowd went wild at your impeccable referee skills. "Sorry if I was rude, but I just can't stand unsportsmanlike." You bowed at the coach as you walked back to the stands.

The trials continued as you waited for Jimin and Jungkook to finish. "Do you play basketball?" Felix wondered, "Used to, n-" "Then you should try out for the high school team!" He perked up, "Oh I can't," Your face fell and Felix left it at it.

You walked back home with the two new basketball players of the high school. Yep, they made it to the team. "You were so cool back there"
"And how the coach lost his face. Damn, are you really the YN, we know?" "Oh, even I was nervous. But he was doing the worst job as a referee and I just couldn't stand how he didn't pay any attention to the fouls... Anyway, let's movie night?" You asked with hopeful eyes. "No, my mother wants me to be present at the "family dinner" tonight." Jungkook sighed as you reached for his hands. "It will be fine..." "Have you ever wondered how we, the four best friends all have messed up family dynamics?" Jimin wondered, "Maybe that's why we became best friends!" Jungkook continued, "So let's get ice cream, also don't tell Tae, or else we will be dead."
