She replied his smile. Stopping on her track, she waited for him to approach her.

She knows Taeyong. He is one of her almost-become-a-bestfriend. They became friend once they both became the school's model.

He is very handsome, she thought. I wish I had fall in love with him instead.

"Come on, let's have some talks. They're interested with you." He said, pulling her with him to the boys' spot.

"Hi, Yeri! It has been a long time since the last we saw you." Mark greeted.

"Oh, hi." She said.

She spared a quick glance at Jungkook who is staring at her.

Well, maybe her eyes lied to her.

"Do you come here to support Jungkook? I'm jealous with him."  Taehyung said playfully.

She glanced awkwardly at Jungkook, who is also seems like waiting for her answer.

"No, of course not. I come to support all of you." She responded, forcing a smile.

She actually still comes here after that incident. But since Jungkook told her to stay away, she did.

She wears the cap to prevent him from seeing her, and will immediately exits the audience spot right after they finish practice. But today, she was just too lost watching him, and this happened.

He will not be mad to her again, right?

"So, I'm going now. Good luck for the game tomorrow." She bid a goodbye respectfully.

She did not want to stay there for a long time. She did not want him to feel uncomfortable with her.

"Wait, Yeri. Let's go home together." Taeyong took all his belongings, before once again pulling her to the exit door.

"Our Taeyong already makes his first move." Mark said, clapping his hand.

"How cute, aren't them, Jungkook?" Jaehyun asked, looking at the guy who is clearly having something in his mind.

Jungkook smiled bitterly. "Yeah, of course. She deserves someone like him."

-

All of the boys are warming up, getting ready for their turns to play.

This is the biggest competition for basketball, so they really need to win.

"Taeyong, you look excited." Jaehyun said.

"Well, Yeri is coming." He grinned, can't get any happier than now.

The mention of the name got Jungkook's attention, but he remained himself steady, busying himself with the stretching.

"And she promises to cheer for me." Taeyong said.

"Lucky you." Mark pouted. "I'm jealous already."

"I can feel her sincerity on supporting me. I'll appreciate her very much." He said, glancing at someone, hoping that he gets the message.

Jungkook felt like his heart just got stabbed. He wonders if Taeyong said that for him, since he never really appreciate what she has done to him.

-

Jungkook's eyes roamed around the stadium, and stopped at a certain figure who is looking at them.

She also wears her cap, and somehow, he really wants to take it off and see her face clearly.

"What the actual fuck, Jeon Jungkook. You're not regretting anything." He muttered.

The referee went between him and the opponent team's captain who are at the center.

"The game, starts now!"

The whistle echoed, and all of them started moving.

Jungkook can't concentrate and keeps on losing his chance to score the goals. He made many careless mistakes, causing their scores to be left behind.

It is not that the other players are not good and just hoping on Jungkook to catch up, but with a captain who seems very lost, it automatically effects them also.

Their trainer seemed to notice it, and he quickly asked the referee to change the player.

Jungkook went out, panting hard.

"Jeon Jungkook, what's wrong with you? You seem very lost. Is something bothering you?" The trainer scolded him.

"I'm sorry."

"Everyone is expecting our school to win. Don't embarrass me." He rubbed his temple. "This can't be. We have many other rounds with other schools, yet we are going to lose in our first round. I can't let you play if you're not ready mentally. Meet me here if you've find what you lack."

Jungkook bowed one more time before deciding to get out. He feels guilty to his teammates who are still playing in the court.

What's wrong with me today?
