Two Halves

undiscovered turthPart 4

-Namjoon-

No matter how excited I was to play tennis with Jin I couldn't help but be worried, I knew Jin would notice my weak point when it showed and he'd cover it but that'd leave him open with a weak spot so I'd have to cover his just like we used to do. I held the racket in my right hand and Jin noticed this but didn't ask anything. One Jimin hit the first ball I watched Jins left foot move first which meant he'd spin around and hit the ball while facing me and he did. I watched the ball fly to where Yoongi was who flawlessly hit it to my left and I knew Jin wouldn't have the time to hit it so I'd have to underhand the ball and put my arm at risk. I switched hands while running and swung my racked under the ball and sent it flying to where it hit right behind Jimin and out of bounds for them to hit back. That meant it was our point. Jin looked back at me with a smile while I switched back to my right hand and I saw how Yoongi noticed my switch and how I touched my arm.

Jin- "Wow. You still got it."

I nodded. Now Jin looked like he wasn't serious but I knew this match meant the same to him as it did to me.

Yoongi- "Wow, you two still work well together. Lets see if you can beat me and Jimins ultimate force."

Jimin chuckled and nodded before standing behind Yoongi. I'd seen this move before and no one yet had beat it yet. this was known as the australian formation.

Jin- "We still got this Joonie."

His voice sounded hopeful still and it made me willing to try.

Namjoon- "Can you trust me."

He nodded and took my hand before going to his place up front. Jins feet were positioned and I could see he was ready to run and I suddenly had an idea seeing Yoongi position he was going to throw a twisted serve which rarely could be caught so I'd have to tell Jin.The timing had to be perfect. As the ball was hit and spinning I took the chance and yelled.

Namjoon- "B-drive twist!"

Jin smirked and jumped one eighty degrees in the air while hitting the ball into a bounce between the two and both tried to hit it back but couldn't. The shape it bounced into was like a B since it hit the ground once and then landed a bit away. Jin smiled while coming to me for a high five while Jungkook yelled out the score again.

Jin- "Seems we just may win this. Since it's your serve time, show them why no one has been able to receive it."

I looked at the racket in my right hand and sighed, for this serve I'd need all my strength in my left hand since it was dominant. Jin went to his spot and I slowed my heart and focused on the ball in my hand while I threw it up, having to leap into the air to slam my racket into it as it spun hard in a slice serve. Jimins reaction was quick as he went for it while I moved to cover the right but Jin went left for some reason and I realized why, Yoongi jumped over Jimin and hit the ball in a top spin to the ground, barely missing jins head and giving them a point.

Jin- "It's alright. Don't worry about it."

Yoongi- "You good Namjoon? You're panting already. If you can't continue don't push yourself."

I waved it off and went back to my place, holding my racket in my left hand while Jin looked at me. Now it was Jins turn to serve. He used a Reverse kick serve, the top-spin was strong when the ball went flying with what looked like flames and I saw Jimins foot twist behind him and he brought his racket back. I ran to the right knowing this move very well because it was what broke my ability. When the ball hit the tip of his racket it went flying with force than the serve had and I swung my racket in my left hand and sent the ball flying right back and Jimin moved because it was way too much force to get hurt from. All eyes were on me when I dropped my racket and hissed from the burning in my arm around the bone. Jimin and Yoongi ran over after Jin and I saw Jungkook run over as well because there was a snap.

Jin- "Namjoon! You're arm!"

Jimin- "Holly shit. You just nearly took our heads off. I was surprised you could receive that hit."

Yoongi- "Lets get you to a doctor. That didn't sound good."

Jungkook- "He's right."

I shook my head no.

Namjoon- "It was hurt a long time ago. I did mention I gave up tennis and I've mostly used my right hand when I could."

-No ones POV-

Everyone was worried as Namjoon sat down on the couch next to Jin who held the ice pack on his arm and he explained everything from the way the muscle and bone snapped in a game before nationals with the same move Jimin had just used. Jin himself felt bad for not seeing something was off with his friend sooner and hated that he got hurt because of Jins carelessness. Namjoon noticed the sad look on Jins face and lifted his chin, startling him but he relaxed almost instantly when Namjoon dragged a finger on his bottom lip as he used to. Jimin silently smiled at the way one of Namjoons arms rested on Jins lap and Jin held the ice pack in place while his eyes were locked with Namjoon while his hand held Jins chin to keep his head up, everyone had always thought the boys were dating until they found they weren't and were all so shocked at the information because they could feel the love  between them. Jungkook however was very jealous, his hyung wouldn't let that casual touch happen between the two and he'd probably hit Jungkook for it but he relaxed to Namjoons touch and Yoongi didn't care. He was just waiting to leave because they needed more practice.
