being at school on a friday night felt wrong. it felt like they shouldn't be here, at this time, but yet here they were.

youngjae, obviously, came to support his–
well, what was jaebum to him?

he wanted to say boyfriend, but technically they weren't official yet.
yes, they did kiss a few times (and a few more) and boy, they loved holding hands and other skinship, but did that make them boyfriends?

youngjae didn't care at the moment as long as he got to see his, well... his jaebum.

mark, whose crush was growing bigger and bigger even though he still denied it (which failed miserably because everytime someone mentioned jackson, mark's face would resemble a tomato), claimed he wanted to show some team spirit for his school, which made everyone laugh in disbelief.

and of course, yugyeom and bambam, who wouldn't dare to miss their hyung's embarrassing themselves in front of their crushes.
but also, secretly, they were just happy they got to spend time with each other and enjoyed standing a little too close to each other or sitting on each other's laps, because who needed personal space?

the gym smelled of old wood, sweat, and popcorn. it was so crowded, making the guys wonder how on earth the entire school managed to fit in the now tiny seeming gym.

"there's my dad." youngjae didn't sound very euphoric. he didn't have a problem with this father, but their relationship wasn't really close either, and watching sports together would not change that.

the guys followed when they recognized youngjae's father, standing in the first row of course.

"hi mr. choi." the three of them bowed after mark had greeted the man. he bowed back, then sat on the wooden bench and started scribbling some words into his notepad.

sitting in the front row also meant being close to the team, which wasn't a problem at all of the boys.
since mr. choi was a talent scout, he was close friends with the team's coach so they were basically sitting next to the team.

the team. as if by command, the entire school jumped from their seats and started cheering and whistling as soon as both teams entered the hall.
they waved at the crowd with big smiles before proceeding to their coaches.

after a little talk with the coach, jaebum, jackson and jinyoung walked over to the others when they spotted them.

"hey, you guys made it!" jackson smiled brightly, but was only looking at mark.

"i'm glad you're here." jaebum said to youngjae, but also to the others, of course.

"youngjae, you didn't tell me you were friends with the team!" mr choi noticed after looking up from his notepad.

"oh, yeah, guys this is my dad." youngjae felt kind of awkward. "dad, this is jinyoung, jackson and jaebum. my dad is–"

"i can introduce myself, son. i'm a talent scout for various of the best universities in and around seoul. i have been watching you three closely for a while now, you really shine out."

the three of them looked like they had just won the lottery, happiness was written all over their faces.

"i was going to put in a good word for you guys anyway, but knowing that you're my youngjae's friends.. you better win this game now, your chances are good!" mr choi looked serious but started laughing and so did the players, even though they looked kind of confused.

the supporting boys wished them good luck before the game started and sat down next to youngjae's father.

he does look extra good, youngjae thought, a smile appeared on his lips. this would be a game worth watching.

"aaand it's over! once again our team won, leaving us undefeated this whole season! did you see that last hoop! jinyoung is back at it again with the last second hoops! amazing, truly amazing!" the sports commentator (who was actually a second year at school) shouted into the mic excitedly.

who knows what thrilled them, but the four boys ran on the court to their team and started cheering along with them and dozens of other school mates.

"you won!" mark shouted when he spotted jackson, who looked like a puppy that just caught its own tail.

"we did!" before knowing the blonde embraced mark into a hug, wrapping his arms around the latters waist and mark, whose brain and heart had stopped working for a second, wrapped his own arms around jackson's shoulders and they started jumping and spinning and were in their own world for a moment.

youngjae pulled jaebum into a hug, too, moving closer to his ear. "if i could, i would kiss you right now." he whisper-shouted into the older's ear who just smiled.

jaebum and jackson were carrying jinyoung on their shoulders, because once again he had made the final point which decided their victory.

the team, shouting and whistling and singing, left to the locker room, and the gym slowly became emptier.

"youngjae, i'll be going home now. you go have fun with your friends, i'll tell eomma to leave some leftover food for you in the fridge."

mr. choi left and so did almost everyone else. the four boys also made their way outside and decided to keep waiting for the other's in front of school.

"damn", bambam realized. "what kind of gay shit was going on between you and jackson hyung?" yugyeom started laughing, almost choking on the popcorn he'd bought earlier.

"shut your hell." mark once again started blushing like an idiot, he was thankful that the sun had set already and it wasn't that noticible.

"no, seriously hyung, i feel like he wants a taste of your tuna." yugyeom added and gained an elbow in the ribs from mark but also a high five from both bambam and youngjae.

"remind me again why the fuck i'm friends with you?"

"life would be boring without us, wouldn't it, hyung?" youngjae leaned against mark's shoulder, but only got a deep sigh as a response.
