Precious Love (SaiDa ff)

Chapter 3.1 Get your head in the game

Dahyun dribbled the ball down the court. She assumed her pointguard position and analyzed the defense.

2-1-2 Zone Defense.

Jeongyeon walked forward and was guarding her. Dahyun started to dribble the ball with care now. She knew Jeongyeon is fast and if she's not careful it would definitely be a turnover.

"Okay Eagle, let's see if you still have what it takes to go against me." Dahyun smirked at Jeongyeon's challenge. She scanned the court quickly and passed to an open Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung dribbled the ball between her legs and split 3 defenders in a flash and drove to the ring.

"Son Chaeyoung 2 points!" announced the sportscaster of the school. The cub and eagle high fived each other and were running to the other side of the court. 

"Nice lay-up Chaeng! Jeongyeon must be fuming now." Dahyun said joking around with Chaeyoung. 

"You think Mina saw my drive? I hope she did. I didn't go too fast right?" Chaeyoung looked at the direction where Mina and the others were seated. The cub caught the shy girl's eyes and shot her a smile causing Mina to look down for the nth time today. 

"Stop flirting Chaeng and get your head in the game." Dahyun gave Chaeyoung a light hit behind the head. Mina saw this and laughed at Chaeyoung's annoyed reaction. 

The duo were getting pumped up and so was the crowd. The attention was now on the current team players.

"Yah tighten up that defense! Don't go easy on them!" Jeongyeon barked to her teammates. The competitive unnie hated that her dongsaengs got on the board first but at the same time proud because they still had synergy after all these years.

Jeongyeon inbounded the ball and called for a play. "Alright we're on offense. Let me see some energy!" Yeri came up and provided a screen for Jeongyeon. The team captain drove towards the ring only to be stopped by a running Chaeyoung.

"You're not gonna score that easily unnie." Chaeyoung looked at Jeongyeon's eyes, crouching slightly to balance herself with her left hand pushed forward ready to guard the older.

"You sure you want to guard me? We're a bit mismatched don't you think?" Jeongyeon then eyed the cub up and down. Chaeyoung huffed a deep breath. The unnie once again took a stab at her height and she was not thrilled about it.

"If you're so confident then come and try to pass me unnie." Chaeyoung challenged Jeongyeon and the latter gave her a smirk. Okay. If that's what you really want cub.

Jeongyeon then started to speed up her dribbling and was driving to the basket. Chaeyoung focused on the ball too much that she didn't see Jeongyeon's teammate, Joy, cut in behind her and blocked her from catching up to her unnie. Drat. It's another screen. Chaeyoung mentally cursed herself for making the mistake and tried to catch up but Jeongyeon was fast. The team captain easily made a finger-roll after evading the defense.

"Yoo Jeongyeon 2 points!" The crowd went wild. But out of the sea of people, there was one person shouting her lungs out, "YAH THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND! GO JEONGIE!~". Nayeon was up on her feet and cheering for her love. Jeongyeon definitely didn't miss the sweet gesture of her partner and blew her a flying kiss while jogging to the other side of the court. 

 It was only the first points of the game but amazing speed, agility and technique were already being shown. The energy of the people watching seemed to parallel that of an actual inter-university game. The cheers were deafening and the players were going head to head.

Chaeyoung inbounded the ball to Dahyun and gave her an apologetic look. She knew she messed up letting Jeongyeon get fired up and scoring over her.
