Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Chapter 6 [2/2]

When the final bell rang, Momo took her bag and glanced at her friends. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon nodded their heads. They then headed gym. Nayeon insisted to come so the girl came with them. It was getting dark outside as they walked up toward gym.

Jeongyeon pushed the door open. "Nobody's here."

"Where are they?" Momo asked. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon approached them. The light was on but she saw no one.

"I thought you won't come."

Momo looked aside and saw six boys approaching them. The boys wore sport uniforms. "I'm not afraid of you or your gang," Momo said back. The boy smirked. "So, we've come here, what do you want?" She lifted both hands and caught a ball.

"Basketball?"

"Don't tell me you don't know the game. Oh, but maybe you don't."

Momo gripped the ball when the boys laughed. She took step closer, lifting her chin."Challenge accepted."

"But don't cry if you lose," the leader boy said.

Momo clenched her jaw as the other boys started to cry, mocking her. She threw the ball to the leader boy and walked back to her friends.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Nayeon asked. They started to take off their jacket suits and neckties. "They are the basketball team of this Academy. They won high school league this year for the third time."

"For real?" Jeongyeon stopped loosening her tie. She then turned to Momo. "Haru, maybe..."

"No, we're doing this. You said it before we will beat them."

"Yes with music, not basketball," Jeongyeon said. "Wait, you've done the game before, right?"

Momo scratched the back of her head, smiling sheepishly. "Actually no. Just see in TV, years ago."

"And you?" Jeongyeon asked Tzuyu. Tzuyu tilted her head aside before shaking it. "I only do in my PS too," she said, palming face.

"Great, we'll end this in embarrassment."

"We can't go back now, so let's do this," Tzuyu said, putting her jacket and tie on bench.

"Wait, we are only three. We need two other players," Momo said.

"There is a party here but nobody invites me?"

"Sana,"

Sana, Jimin and Mark walked into the gym. The president of School of Dance held his gaze to Momo, in unfriendly way.

"I'm sorry, I called Mark," Nayeon said apologetically. She was relieved when Haru offered a smile. Kyungwan gave a light pat on her shoulder.

"Thanks Nayeon," Momo said.

"I bring your players," Sana said to the new boys. Her gaze immediately landed on the taller one. Xiumin gave a small smile before lowering his gaze. At least she had reason to see the boy, she grinned inwardly.

"I'm busy actually but this woman insisted," Jimin said, crossing his arms.

"No, you are not. You're just disturbing Mina there," Sana said and turned to them. "Don't mind him, he's just kidding. Okay, let's start the game."

Momo took a sharp breath as Sana explained the rule. Mark, Jimin and Tzuyu would take forward while she and Jeongyeon would take the defensive position. She once again sucked a sharp breath in. Nayeon was cheering them from outside court.

Sana threw the ball up and the game started on. Jimin jumped off, taking the ball. He dribbled while running toward the opposite basket. It was close but the shoot was blocked. Momo returned to her position, trying to block the other team player but he easily passed her. Three points for the other team. Momo rolled her eyes annoyingly when the leader boy turned to her conceitedly, smirking. However, as the game continued on it was clear that those boys weren't their opponent. The first quarter ended with score twenty-four versus eight. Eight points from Jimin's three point shoots and Mark's two point shoot.
