Girl Who Cried Wolf

"Good game" Eunha smiled at one of her old teammates. Everyone left after that. It was just her and Linzy.

"You got better" Eunha suddenly said.

"And you got worse" she rolled her eyes as she put her clean shirt on that didn't have sweat on it.

"What's your problem with me? We left on very good terms" Eunha turned around to face her.

"You left us. We've failed every single game since you've been gone. You let us down. We suck without. You have to come back" she begged. Now she was being nice to Eunha, a little.

"I can't. My mother won't let me" Eunha said with an apologetic look.

"Why? Because of your girlfriend? Break up with her, Eunha. We need you more than she does. She'll find someone else, we won't" she gave Eunha one last look as she left the locker room.

"Maybe..." she mumbled after she was gone.

"So you're considering it?" Eunha looked up and found Sowon sitting on top of the lockers with her legs dangling.

"I didn't mean it like that. I just had to agree with her to make her feel better and have some sort of hope" Eunha said as she finished packing her bags. She tried to act like Sowon didn't just scare the shit out of her but she knew Sowon could hear her heart beat. But she was afraid that Sowon would mistake her abnormal heart beat for lying but it was just shock.

"But she was already gone. There was no need for more words to be spoken yet you said maybe. It's fine, I understand. I'm not the perfect girl you're looking for" Sowon jumped down from the lockers and walked slow so that Eunha could catch up to her after grabbing her heavy bag.

"You're my perfect girl, Sojung" Eunha looked at her while she panted. She was exhausted and could barely carry her bag.

"That's exactly what I needed to hear" Sowon smiled at her. "Let me carry it for you, weakling" Sowon grabbed the bag from her hands.

"Weakling? Did you see me playing out there?" Eunha puffed with a sassy expression.

"Oh I saw you alright. You played horrible" Sowon laughed.

"I scored majority of the points" Eunha slapped her arm.

"You were amazing, my little-"

"Sowon wait" Eunha closed the door that Sowon was trying to open.

"My mother is out there waiting for me. She can't see you, I'm sorry" Eunha frowned as she peeked through the window to see if her mother was around.

"I understand. I guess this is where we part" Sowon fake cried.

"Stop it, you little baby. I'll see you tomorrow, ok? We can celebrate then" Eunha smirked and kissed her on the cheek before hurrying out the door to her mother's car. Sowon watched her disappear.

Eunha immediately dropped her bag on the floor when she got inside the house after her mother. She was more exhausted than usual. She really wasn't lying when she said that her old team got a lot better. Eunha was proud of them, very proud.

"Our daughter did such an amazing job tonight, I wish you would've been there to see it" Mrs. Jung said to Mr. Jung as she jumped onto the couch.

"So you won?" He asked as he got up to go to the kitchen.

"Sure did. 10 to 9" Eunha smiled.

"That's my girl" he messed up her hair as he walked pass her. "I promise I'll be at the next game, I was just so busy with work" he gave an apologetic look.

"It's fine. At least you're home now. So how was it in America? Anything cool?" Eunha asked. She was curious and excited to hear what it was like in a total different country.

"The food was very...weird? And there was an unbelievable amount of people who aren't very physically fit" he awkwardly laughed. He wasn't trying to sound rude or make fun of them.

"It's America, what did you expect?" Her mother chimed in.

"Mom" Eunha made a little gasp. "Don't be rude"

"The idols there also don't really seem to care about dancing, weird right? They curse very often too. It was a bit of a surprise for me" he liked the trip nonetheless, but it was very different from where he is from.

"Were there gays there?" Mrs. Jung had a distasteful expression.

"Many. I saw same genders kissing, kind of a shock but it's a different country so they do different things there" he shrugged and looked through the fridge for some food.

"Were there any same sex marriages there?" Eunha whispered.

"That's gross" Mrs. Jung interrupted before her father could answer the question.

"But mom I-" Eunha stopped when she saw the person she hated the most come down the stairs.

"That's Eunha's boyfriend" Mrs. Jung pointed at him.

"Boyfriend? Sure" Mr. Jung looked back at Eunha and symboled that her mother was crazy.

"So when can I meet your girlfriend?" Her father whispered with a smile while the young man and his wife were talking.

"I'll have to ask her later" Eunha couldn't help but smile. This made her so happy.

"I sure hope she likes Mrs. Jungs cooking" he laughed.

"I don't think mom will let her come over here" Eunha frowned.

"Then I guess we'll just have to go have lunch with her somewhere this week" he shrugged. He was up to anything at this point, he just wanted to meet the girl that his daughter was obsessed with.

"She works at a bar. We can go see her tomorrow, deal?" Eunha looked up at him with hopeful eyes.

"I can't wait" he shook her hand to make the deal official.

"This is Jason, Eunha's boyfriend" Mrs. Jung introduced him to her husband.

"You better take care of my daughter" he fake smiled. He didn't like that his wife was trying to get Eunha to date a man, he was fine with whoever Eunha dated as long as that person treated her well.

"Will do" he shook his head in agreement. This was going to be a long night.
