"Do you like Byeol?"
Seungcheol threw him a disgusted look, slapping the back of his head. "T-that's like liking a- a sister! Hell nah!"
"Okay..." Jeonghan looked down, aw...
The chants of the bleachers grew louder as the game between the Shining Diamonds and Charmers carried on, their never-ending support giving both teams the motivation they needed. The Charmers attempted many shots, majority of those attempts being converted into points, which pushed their score slightly higher than their opponent's. Hwang Hyunjin was the main reason his team was in the lead, having made 21 points alone. The commentator's sudden change of tone caught everyone's attention.
"Well would you look at that! For the first time in SCS history, Charmers is the leading team against the Shining Diamonds, with a score of 41-38. Will we see Hwang Hyunjin as the MVP at the end of this championship?"
Byeol shifted her weight to her other foot, feeling unreasonably uncomfortable and tense after hearing what the man seated a few meters away had said. Countless thoughts and memories flooded her mind, reminding her of the times when she and Hyunjin used to play in the same team. She shook her thoughts away and went to check if the commentator wasn't bluffing.
Before she could even have the chance to take a look at the scoreboard, a female Charmer made a lay-up, setting the gap between the two numbers bigger. With her focused eyes scanning the basketball court, she leaned towards Jeonghan, who was preparing to be subbed in along with her. She crossed her arms. "I'll cut."
"How?"
Byeol idly raised her hands to visualize her words. "You, pointguard, will bring the ball to the right wing. No offense, but that guy-" She pointed at the Charmer who was guarding the right zone. "-is absolute sh*t at defense, although exceptionally good at offense. I'll cut to the ring and get free. Make sure your eyes and hands are attentive. The two people guarding at the top are good defenders. From what I've seen, the right is somewhat their blindspot."
Jeonghan nodded, doing the same thing as Byeol and gluing his eyes to the gameplay. "That's possible, and their defense is a bit low compared to before. You remember their 6'5 center, Junghyun? He graduated last year. Their next tallest player is Hyunjin, your-."
