I can't seem to shake that girl off my mind
"Hey Ryujin! Heads up!"
*THUD*
"Oww.." I rub my head where the hard ball just landed
"Hey! What's going on with you? You've been out of it since you got here?" My teammate, Hyejoo. Said while retrieving the basketball
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it" I said and gestured her to pass the ball
"Well whatever it is, I need you to focus on this practice. We're going to have an important match this sunday" the raven said while passing the ball
"Yeah, I know" I started to dribble my way pass her and bounce the ball out of the ring by a layup
"See?" Hyejoo let out a small smile and shakes her head lightly
"Ok ok. I get it" she said. "Let's play" her eyes turns into game mode. She tries to grab the ball from my hand but I dodge her and make my way through the hoops again
The sound of the clear ring can be heard as I did my jump shot. "Nice one, Ryujin" Hyejoo showed a satisfied smile and gave me a high five
"Ok that's enough of playing now" Seoyeon unnie came to the middle of the court with the rest of the girls
We hurdled around her. "I need every one of you to practice hard today alright? We have an important match this Sunday. I don't want any of you to slack off. Got it?"
"YES CAPTAIN"
"Good. I need Ryujin, Hyejoo, Jihye, Dahee, Minji. To go against me and the others. Play like a real match, got it?" Captain said
"YES CAPTAIN!" All of us ran to our spot in the court. Coach holds the ball and I face Seoyeon unnie to reach for the ball
The ball was tossed high in the and I quickly grasp it and pass it to Hyejoo. I ran to the other side of the court, I raised my hand and Hyejoo pass the ball to me
I shoot outside the line and score a 3 point
/buzzer sound/
"Nice one Ryujin" Seoyeon unnie spoke. "But you won't go through my guard this time" she smirk
"SOOKMYUNG! SOOKMYUNG! WE ARE THE CHAMPION!" I navigated my eyes to where the cheering came from
There, I saw her with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing her cheerleading uniform. She lined up with the rest of her teammates outside the court line
"Oi! Shin Ryujin!" I feel a violent shake from the shoulder
"H-Huh?"
"Focus man! Seoyeon unnie is fired up because you score a 3 point earlier! Get your head in the game!" Hyejoo clasp her hand in front of my face to snapped me out of my trance
"Sorry" I shaked my head
Mina is the one who holds the ball now, she gaze at Seoyeon unnie and pass her the ball when she got an opening
She's dribbling her way to my zone, Block Ryujin!
"Let's see if you can steal this from my hand Ryujin" she challenged. That makes me fired up. I block her attempt on shooting and was ready to steal the ball
"Be careful Yuna!" My eyes quickly turn to her side
/buzzer sound/
"Ryujin! What is wrong with you?!!"
"W-What?" I didn't realize that I missed and the other team scored
"If you keep spacing out I'm going to ask capt to bench you!" Hyejoo taunted.
I look to her side again. She's trying to balance herself on top of her teammates. She's trembling
The moment I look her feet loss balance. My body moves on its own
"YUNA!"
