The Devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 1]

Chapter 60 - The Taehyung's show

The amber sun invaded the spring skies in the afternoon. Veneered and enameled by the sun, he was radiating strength and vibrancy playing on the field. The storming calamity was brewing in his eyes like those fierce dragons while anchoring the ball.

Her dazzling amber-brown eyes were gazing at him with veneration. The initial turmoil when she remembered the past washed away just by his mere sight.

Both were focused. His gaze was hooded on the ball while hers was on him. Him alone!

The basketball game set into motion when Austin threw the ball into the air and both teams started their moves trying to tap the ball off the court.

His hawk-like gaze was awaiting the prey observing the opponent's weakness. The moment the ball started heading towards him, one of the team members aimed at his c.h.e.s.t.

And the show began.

Catching and seizing the ball swiftly, Taehyung started dribbling the ball with his fingertips constantly without giving a chance for the opponents to strike as he moved with the ball. When he started catching the pace, he switched the gear taking it to another level. Taehyung started to jog doing the short sprints along the way. But he was still on the dribble in and out pushing the ball alternating into his hands confusing everyone. His strong footsteps were resounding over the entire court with his rugged moves.

Trent, Austin, and their other team members tried to deny him, seize him, block him in all the ways. But his one hand was brute forcefully dragging the ball over the wing and the other was counter-attacking while his eyes were searching for the target.

For a second, Taehyung stopped his tracks hearing the familiar voice. He turned around to see his sweetheart jumping and clapping like a child. He met her sparkling eyes which were encouraging him. He suddenly felt the urge to win the game for her. There were countless people who shouted for him, cheered him on and off the field, but only she could lit the fire and there is no bound to his happiness now.

While Taehyung was in his world of thoughts, Austin seized the opportunity to push him to the ground. Grabbing the chance he took over the control, and before Taehyung could compose what's happening around him, the ball was out of his reach. Austin leaped into the air scoring a basket to his team. The crowd cheered for him while he shamelessly smiled waving his hands even though it was a betrayal shot.

Sitting on the court edge, when Taehyung saw Jennie's sad and angry face directing at Austin, he chuckled and got up from the ground.

"Don't worry sweetheart. It's just a one-shot. I will make sure he will not get any dunk for the rest of the game." This time, he marched forward towards the ball with a goal. He wants to see her smile for him.

"Jennie, you shouldn't have screamed when V was focusing. The team has already missed a shot because of you." Shaking her head, Kyle commented with disappointment.

"Then should I sit and watch over like a nun?" Jennie asked stupified with Kyle's remarks. What's wrong with her? She is making as if I am the wrong one here. Who sits and watches over a game silently?
