Kris' POV

Just what is that?! Why does she always have to avoid me?!

and Tao.. YOU!!! GRRRRRRRR!

I really like to hit this guy just once.

And what's up with Chanyeol and Chen?!

Looking at them, I made a face warning them for getting Chorong's cheer, which they replied with a chuckle.

''What's so funny?'' I mouthed. But they just lowered their heads still laughing. Aish! You guys better get ready after this game.

I put back my attention to Chorong and GOTCHA! I caught her staring at me. HAHAHA. I gave her a smirk to tell I saw that.

But she changed glances in no time.

Still, that made me want to do more. She will have no reason not to watch and cheer for me in this game.

Tao's POV

What the hell is this hyung doing?

While I was dribbling the ball towards the ring, Kris hyung suddeny stole it running and did a lay up from the center.

"Kris scored! Additional 2 points for Yongsan High Scho--- mwoyeyo?!!!" Shindong shouting his comments. "YG's Bobby got the rebound, towards the ring and.."

"But Tao's quick." said Suho. "That was a good block!"

"Defense on Yongsan." Song Minho also joined in the parade of commentaries. "Tao running.. is it a goal? Woaaah.."

"KRIS!! SHOOT!!!" all three of the commentators shouted.

This is not going to be good for the team. Why is he like this?

I heard Luhan hyung calling a time out.

We all gathered to talk. Our coach, Changmin songsaengnim said, "You guys settle this on your own." and sat on the bench crossing his legs. I dunno what he means by that.

"Yah! Kris.. do you have a problem?" asked Luhan hyung with a serious face. "Why do you always get the ball from Tao?"

So hyung also noticed it. This hyung really becomes serious when it comes to sports.

But Luhan hyung is too serious that I was taken aback when he asked me. "Tao, what's wrong with you two? Does the rivalry feeling still linger?" He sounded angry. Scary. The very calm and always smiling hyung is gone.

"Hyung.." But I could not think of anything to say. I don't even know what's wrong.

"Kris-ah." Now Minseok hyung is talking. "We are one now, right? Whoever scores is the team's score. Your steals might be okay now, but what will happen if your goals won't go in later?" Even Umin hyung looks so serious today. His cute image is gone as well. "We pass the ball to both of you because we believe it's the best. But why are you guys fighting over the ball? Kris-ah, Tao-ah. Don't play alone."

I nodded lowering my head feeling guilty and sorry. Kris hyung did not say anything but kept quiet and also lowered his gaze.

There is a feeling of tension rising between us. This is not good.

"Ja!" Baekhyun hyung clapped his hands to call our attention. "Let's wrap this up. Play as a team! This is our dream, to play together.. that's why we are the dream team, right?" He smiled.

Baek hyung is really working hard to fix the atmosphere.

"Yeodora! [Guys!]" Chanyeol also joining in. "I know I'm not really going to play today but--"

That made us laugh. Jinjja. Chanyeol isn't just michievous but he is so call to even diss himself just to lighten up the mood.

We are all trying to maintain a straight face now.

"If our team wins, I am part of it. We should be the WINNER today. Yo, okay?"

"So our effort of carrying the water jug won't go insane." added Chen. Another self diss.

We couldn't hold our laughter anymore and started laughing.

The other team and the audience might be wondering what we were discussing about that we are all laughing. They might have thought we had gone mad.

"Hands together!" Yongguk hyung commanded.

We put our hands together for a cheer. But before we could shout, Kris hyung spoke up, "Yeodora, mianhae.. geunyang.. I am just so overdosed with love."

"MWOYA?" The others' quick response.

He continued, "Sorry. I'll take another route to express it."

"Eyy! Stop the talk!" Henry hyung interrupted in English. "No time anymore."

"Leggo!" Hoya hyung and Zelo shouted at the same time.

Hands together, we shouted, "WE ARE ONE!"

Looking at Kris hyung who is now walking back to the mid-court. I now know what he meant earlier.

Park Chorong.

I know you really like Kris hyung,

but I can't just let go of you easily.

The game is just starting.
