Saturn: The Planet of Karma

Saturn doesn't make things easy. That's the role of the taskmaster of the zodiac. Saturn commands us to get to work and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this planet, yet if we're eager to conquer the world, that's okay, too.

Not every day is going to be victorious, and that was a fact the team was aware of. Volleyball is a difficult sport, and there are instances where a team wins or loses.

They lost this game. A good thing is, the team has a very good chance to recover and make it to the quarter-finals. Practically, this has been just the first game of the term and there is one match left until quarter-finals qualifications. They need to make it to the playoffs, and they are determined to do so, yet the loss of this game isn't going to bring them down.

KNSU provided great coaches for them, an exceptional field to train on, and brand-new equipment. Each player of the team has dedicated their life to the team, neither of them could think of anything but make sure they will get back on track.

The next game is happening in two weeks due, and Taehyung could see in Jungfkook's fierce eyes after they lost the game, that he won't give the team a break. And that is exactly what the team needs the most, and one of the things Taehyung loves about Jungkook.

It is hard to be motivated when faced with a loss, but Jungkook never lets the team down and has never considered a loss, an actual loss.

And so at the end of the day, after the match is over and it is just them and their coach, Han Mingyu, Jungkook takes a step forward, eyes determined and not a single glint of doubt within them. "We win the next match. Nothing less than that, there is no need for us to be discouraged. Everyone did an excellent job."

Taehyung looks around the team and notices the way the eyes of his teammates light up.

"We are not perfect, we need to work on ourselves and our skills, but more importantly, we need to get to know our enemy. Our mistake was looking down on them. When we didn't even know their playing style, and underestimated them."

Jungkook is right, they didn't think a small team coming from a small university could be a match for them. They have been good, but KNSU is better, Taehyung knows that and the team knows that.

"Namjoon." It is the coach's turn to take the lead and step in front of the team. "I will ask you to help me make a couple of drafts and analyze our future rivals this week. If anyone else wants to join us, they are welcome. We need to take these games more seriously than we've done previously. I suggest we gather this weekend to analyze our rival teams. Is anyone up for it?"

Fifteen people take a step forward. No one is having a second thought, the entire team appears to be sharing the same thought: they need to focus and it isn't the time to slack off.

No one wants to skip practice. They are all in, so the agreement murmured by each voice in the room unites them in one clear sound, echoing in the now-empty sports hall.

The team met the following Saturday at the university's Sports hall. They have spent the entire day, up until now, nearly eight pm, analyzing their rivals from their previous games, imitating their moves, and coming up with new strategies that would totally get them off track.
