Turns out soccer games are more interesting than Emily had anticipated.
"Oh my gosh," Emily exclaims though she has a smile on her face as the girl to her left screams on the top of her lungs as Sebong's soccer team scores another goal.
"This is wild," Emily says to Jia, who's sitting to her right.
"I know right," Jia agrees, "I never thought sports could ever be so fun to watch."
Emily just nods her head in agreement. The school sized arena is filled with loud students, professors and local supporters of the Sebong university, with loud roars of encouragement and support from the onlookers.
University sports are truly crazy.
As Emily watches the player run around the field, each team trying their best to score a goal, she couldn't help but feel a bit empty inside. This is all she ever wishes of.
Support, Love and Glory.
However Emily isn't one to be delusional and is aware that swimming isn't exactly a very exciting sport to watch and thus is contempt with the way it is. Sure, people get excited enough when there is a large global event, but at the same time most swimmers are spared from super-stardom that sacrifices all of your privacy.
Unless, of course, if you are Micheal Phelps.
A member of the Sebong team scores another goal and the arena erupts into another round of loud cheers as Sebong University wins the match.
As if on instinct, Emily and her friends all get up on their feet, jumping up and down, to celebrate the win. She peeks over the multiple number of heads blocking her view as she tired to spot Jeonghan on the field. She has pointed him out to herself a few times over the course of the game, but he was just so tiny from the stands and the game was moving so fast that she couldn't keep up the entire time.

Right after the game had ended, Emily had gone to use the bathroom before the massive crowd rush and when she got out, the hallways were so filled that she never ended up finding her friends at the end.
She did receive texts that even Jia and Soyeon had gotten separated and both were going their own way for the night and that Nana is just going to go back to her dorm to sleep in early. So Emily also decided to grab some food from the convenience store nearby and then head back to her room to pack for the national tryouts. They leave tomorrow after lunch and Emily hasn't finished packing completely yet.
Today's game had bee so much fun that Emily actually feels lighter and happier and in a weird way, even motivated for her own tryouts. She had forgotten how fun watching and cheering for sports can be.
She walks into the convenience store, intending to but some triangle kimbap and a cup ramyeon for her dinner as well as grabbing a peach drink to accompany a meal. Paying for her dinner and taking the meal to the chairs outside the convenience store, Emily puts hot water in her ramyeon cup and waits for it to finish warming up while she tears off the plastic package on the triangle kimbap and bites her teeth into the food.
She had been so deeply engrossed in her food and her phone that Emily had not even noticed when someone had walked up to her.
"Hi"
Emily screamed out loud, nearly spilling her hot ramyeon over her hand and turning around frantically with the wooden chopsticks positioned as such in her hands so if ever needed, she could quickly stab someone in the eye.
