It's Complicated

29: Unexpected Turns

(Also just appreciate how good Yoongi looks in this photo 👆😍)

"Yoongi, where are we going?" you yell over the wind in your face as you and Yoongi zoom down the road.

He ignores your question and turns into a secluded area, parking the bike on the grass. You hop off, taking your helmet off and surveying your surroundings. There's no one around, just a few trees and a tall chain-link fence in the distance. Beyond the fence, you see some graffitied shacks. As you get closer, you realise the fenced-off area is a basketball court.

"What is this? Your secret hideout or something?" you joke, looking at the shabby shacks covered in random graffiti with various colours and words sprayed all over them.

"Kinda," he says with a shrug. He shoves a piece of wood that was blocking the door to one of the shacks and pushes it open.

"You know how sketchy this is, right? Taking a girl to a secluded spot where no one is around and then leading her into a sketchy shack." you tease, leaning against the frame of the door as he rummages around inside.

"Don't get ahead of yourself Cupcake..." he smirks.

"There it is." He stands up holding a basketball. "You play?"

"Basketball?" you ask.

He nods, slipping past you and heading towards the court. You follow.

"No, I haven't played before."

You lie of course. You're actually a pro at basketball, having frequent one-on-ones with Jungkook. But you're curious to see what will happen if you pretend otherwise.

You step onto the court, watching Yoongi dribble the ball around and shoot a few hoops.

"Not bad, Yoongles." You clap your hands, smiling.

He tosses the ball your way, and you catch it. "Take a shot," he says.

You dribble the ball slowly towards the net and take a terrible shot, missing on purpose.

"Your form is all wrong." Yoongi grabs the ball and brings it back to you. "Here, like this." He places the ball in your hands, and moves behind you. His chest presses against your back and his hands cover yours, showing you how to hold the ball properly. You feel your heart race, overwhelmed by his closeness. You can feel the heat of his body against yours.

"Make sure you flick your wrist when you shoot and keep your legs relaxed." he instructs, but you're too distracted by his touch to fully understand.

"Okay, take a shot."

You nod, unable to find the right words as he steps back. You get into position and make a perfect shot, the ball swishing through the net.

Yoongi looks a little shocked. "You were lying, weren't you?"

"What do you mean?" you act innocent.

"I mean, you just made a perfect shot using skills I didn't show you."

"Well maybe I lied a little... I just wanted to see what you'd do if I pretended I hadn't played before." You smirk slightly.

"How about a one-on-one?" he challenges.

You quickly toss him the ball. "Bring it on."

Yoongi dribbles the ball skillfully. "I'd like to warn you who you're up against." He laughs "I was the high school heart throb back in my day!"

You can't help but laugh with him, "Oh really?"

"Yeah really, you don't believe me!"

"Alright then, first to ten points wins."
