Dear Best Friend | 김태형

Dodgeball || Chapter one

You woke up to the graining sound of your alarm going off. Setting it back on snooze, you closed your eyes and tried to settle yourself back into a comfortable and warm sleep. Just as your consciousness started to slip, however, the alarm was back at it again.

"Ughhhh." You groaned as your body raised from the dead and lifted itself towards the shower.

"Fucking Math first."

"Math first!" You heard a squeal from behind you as you were hanging up your coat in the locker room and turned to see none other than the colossal nerd that was Kim Namjoon.

"You're excited?" You enunciated as his eyes glowed with yearning. He gave a gracious snicker as you rolled your eyes at him. "Tired?"
"It's fucking Monday. Of course I'm tired." You deadpanned.

After you packed your work for later in your locker, you walked alongside Namjoon towards the Maths department. "You won't be too tired for long. I heard Hoseok found a new game he wanted to show you." He mentioned; his lanky self towering over your height as you neared the door. Your face lit up and you felt a jolt of energy fill your veins, "Did he really?!" You beamed, and Namjoon raised his hands in defence. "Yeah, Yeah. He said he wanted to ask you if you'd go round to his after school today."

You hummed in excitement - Hoseok was the best games partner besides from Jin. You went round to his all too frequently that your parents actually stopped asking, but they have met him.
"I'm definitely going!" You announced, and Namjoon chuckled with a full eye smile.

"Ah, What would I do without you?" You praised him as you walked out the Maths door together, and he rolled his eyes, "You'd be perfectly fine without me, Y/N."
You hummed in disagreement, "Uh, no, I wouldn't be," you eyed him as he shook his head and nudged you, "See you later," he smiled, and you offered one back as you separated ways and you headed for P.E.

"Morning Y/N!" Jimin jogged over as you exited the changing room and entered the gym hall. "Hey, Jiminie." You greeted as he smiled at you warmly; he had sweat traced along his hairline and you assumed he was in the middle of playing about with the other two. "Where's Kookie and Tae?" You frowned as they didn't seem to be anywhere in sight in the massive hall filled with students. "They got taken out of the hall to speak to the teacher," Jimin shrugged, and you snorted a laugh at that, "Oh my god, why?"
"Tae locked Jungkook in one of the cupboards and he couldn't get him out." Jimin frowned as you cackled a laugh, and just as you were about to speak again, you felt two lumps jab at your sides.

"Ow! Who the-" you startled as you held your sides in pain and turned to see Taehyung smiling down at you. "Morning!" He chimed and Jungkook wasn't long after. "Y/N!" He shouted from a distance away before sprinting over, "Oh no, not agai-" You revolted as you used Jimin as a shield, but Jungkook stopped running as he stood next to Taehyung. "What?" He smirked and you eyed him. "I wasn't going to tickle you."

Taehyung suddenly frowned, and you whispered to Jimin, "Save me from these lunatics."
Jimin giggled, and patted your head as you eventually came out from behind him.
"So, what's for gym today?" You queried, hands on hips as you looked at the three boys. Jimin shrugged, and Taehyung smiled, "Can I go with you, for whatever it is? Please?" He was quick to ask, and you immediately heard a gasp from Jungkook. "No, y/n, pick me. Tae isn't as good a partner as I am!"

You rolled your eyes and smiled at the two, but declined both. You wrapped your arm around Jimin's and stuck your tongue out at the two, "Sorry, I have a partner."

Jimin looked surprised, but was fast to give a smug smile and follow behind you to leave the two rejects.

It happened to be a dodgeball tournament, so you didn't really get a choice in the end of who you went with. In the end, you were still with Jimin, but also Taehyung. Jungkook was on the opposing team, and he was absolutely destroying your team all on his own.

Everyone stared agape at Jungkook as he benched everyone one-by-one, and soon it was left down to five on your team and three on his. All the outs were benched and watched in awe at the vicious game of dodgeball, and you noticed a fleet of balls constantly going in the direction of Taehyung. You and Jimin were both still in, but that didn't last long as you got smacked right on the shoulder by a girl on the other team. As you watched her shout in victory and her friends cheer her on, you noticed Jungkook glare at her from across the hall and shake his head at you. Jimin took that as the perfect time to attack, but Jungkook was insanely good at both offence and defence. He threw the ball in his hand to deflect the one coming his way, and caught it again in mid air.

No wonder the girls drooled over him.

His black hair was blown miraculously with each leap he took, and his face showed nothing but concentration. It was his goal to achieve the greatest in gym, and despite being on the opposite team, you kind of rooted for him.

That wasn't to say that your Jiminie or Tae weren't good either, though. Jimin had this calmness about him that made him look weak, but he was anything but. His small, slender body only seems as such because of the way he carries himself; but underneath all of that is pure strength. His golden hair grew frizzy and curly with the strenuous exercise, and he had the softest, most roundest face with the clearest of pale skin.
He and Tae were mostly responsible for the amount of people out on the other team, and they both had the determination not to give up under Jungkook this time.

But, sadly, Jimin got smacked right in the stomach by one of Jungkooks hits right after getting a boy out on Jungkooks team.

Two left on Jungkooks, Two on Taes.
