Thud. Hyunjin intercepted one of the opposing team's tosses and dribbled his steal towards our goal, closely followed by three opposing team players. He swerved cleanly as they caught up to him, and swiftly shot the ball towards Yoongi who made a dunk, right as the three opposing players tackled Hyunjin to the floor roughly, one of them even throwing punches to his gut. My jaw dropped and I let out a yell.
"FOUL!" the prominent voice of my Coach too bellowed from the stands.
The refree blew his whistle and held up a warning card.
"Just a warning? He should be disqualified!" one of Hyunjin's friends scoffed.
The three players got off Hyunjin, the same one of them aiming a swift kick to his gut before they left. My brunette friend winced, attempting to sit up, but unfortunately failing and falling into Mark's- who had swooped in at the last minute- arms.
"Yah!" I snapped at the referee, sprinting towards my best friend already, "Call a time-out, won't you? My friend is dying."
The team quickly surrounded their injured team mate, lifting the boy and gently laying onto the bleachers Sana and I were occupying.
"I'll get the Medics," my Coach informed, jogging away, "Get some ice for the boy, Park."
Sana nodded with wide terrified eyes as Hyunjin wheezed another painful groan.
"I really want to beat those guys up right now," he managed out, gritting his teeth.
"Shut up and stay still," Yoongi hushed the boy, his brows scrunched slightly in concern.
"No, you shut up," Hyunjin returned, a grin on his face, "That last shot was lit, Min. We should work together more often."
A small smile ghosted across Yoongi's face, "Definitely."
Sana returned with a large ice pack and gingerly placed it on the injured boy's chest.
"Thanks... Park," Hyunjin said hesitantly, his lips curling in tension.
The said girl's expression turned a little sour, and she hastily walked away with a short reply of, "Don't mention it."
Taeyong and I shared a confused look.
"The medics are here," the Coach panted, heading our way with four ladies dressed in blue attire. The one at his his heel blanched at the sight of Hyunjin's beaten up state.
