The first thing I heard when I entered the practice Court was a very excited "The Newbies are here!" from Mark.

"The Newbies are here!" Vernon and Hyunjin had chimed in as well, grinning from ear to ear, skipping with arms looped around each other's. But within three seconds, they started pulling away and screaming "No homo" at each other.

I rubbed my eyes with a yawn, "I can't believe i came back to school on a Saturday morning for training."

"Same," Yoongi hummed his agreement, opening an eye to meet mine from the bleachers where he was lying on, "This brings back too many bad memories of last year's skill drilling practices."

Mark shouted an 'Amen'.

"I think i finally understand why Nakamoto hated me so much now," I muttered, "Imagine having to wake up at wee hours in the early morning for months straight to train an asshole who ends up stealing your role."

"Hey, now, it has been a good day for me," Vernon tossed a bag of sour candies in my direction, "Don't ruin it with your negativities, losers."

Thankfully, my reflexes snapped in right before the candy pack slapped my face, saving me from a great deal of embarrassment.

A bright haired Taeyong emerged from the dark store room, pushing a rack of basketballs with a stoned expression. His dull eyes met mine and they lit up almost instantly. I took a step back warily.

"Happy second term!" Taeyong screamed, discarding the rack to a side to run towards me.

He lifted me off the ground in excitement and spun me in circles.

"What?" I spluttered.

"It's your second term being our Captain," Hyunjin replied, almost offendedly, "Did you forget?"

I chuckled nervously, "Of course not!"

Mark snickered, "You're a shitty liar, Kim." 

"I'm almost sorry, Lee. But since when do we celebrate things like that?"

"Since Taeyong's rise to power," Hyunjin wiped an imaginary tear from his face, pretending to be sentimental, "Those were such good times."

"Is this just an excuse for you guys to exploit the club funds?"

"Of course not!" came their suspiciously instant reply.

"I find this quite ridiculous too, you aren't alone," Vernon chuckled at my narrowed-eyed look, patting my back after Taeyong lands me back on my feet, "But I too appreciate you being our Captain, so I went along with their little schemes."

"What little schemes?" I fretted.

"You'd like it," Yoongi said quietly, a smile ghosted across his lips.
