Ch 6

The basketball fell to the floor, missing the shot once again. A deep sigh left his mouth as he went to look for it again

He had hurried to the gym after his classes before the other start their training. He wanted to be able to prove the couch wrong

Prove him that he can play, even if he can't see. He knows he can, he needs to be able to do it. It can't take away the thing he loves the most

Before he became like this, before all of this. He used to play basketball, used to dream of becoming something big when he was just a kid. But all of it seemed to break once he lost his sight

The ball wouldn't go where he wanted it, without seeing he felt useless

"you're doing it wrong"

A said familiar persons voice startled him from behind him. He heard his basketball hitting the ground as the other had came closer with his ball

"Are you here to practice?"

Taehyung asked Jungkook, who stood beside him at this point. He was still in shock from the sudden appearance of the other

Jungkook hummed, which only led to Taehyung nodding slowly before making himself ready to leave the practice room.

Having the thoughts that the others would surely be here soon as well. But before he could take a step, Jungkook grabbed his shoulders, turning him pointed at the basketball hoop

Taehyung, with his widened dark eyes could feel the close breath of the other behind him. His warm hands on his shoulder in a gentle grip

"You have to imagine it. Where you want it to land"

Jungkook told, his hands on the blonds shoulder moving down to his arms. He put the ball in the others hand. Letting Taehyung grip both his hands into it tightly

He didn't know if it was the sudden startle that made his heart race a little bit faster than usual, leaving him struggling to form words as he patiently waited with the ball in his tan hands.

Jungkook slowly grabbed a hold of the ball as well, slightly touching the tip of the others fingers as he tried to focus on griping into the ball. Taehyung felt like there were not enough space for the two to hold into the ball in his hand and the way his fingers slightly touched the others made him almost to warm

"You can't aim at something without imagining where you want it to land"

Jungkook started, his rough voice hitting the back of the blonds hair as he took a step back with the other, drawing the ball back against Taehyung chest before he continued

"Now, all you need to do is to aim at the hoop that is right in front of you. This time, try to see it in front of you"

The dark haired continued, his grip on the ball still as he slowly reached out with the ball, making Taehyung take a position with him to throw it. He felt Taehyungs hair brushing against his chin as he nodded slowly to answer Jungkook before he tried to use his tips

Jungkook slowly let go of the ball, leaving Taehyung the only one holding into it. He watched lurringly at the other, waiting for him to take his aim as he put his pale hands back into his pockets while backing up a bit

The next thing he sees is the ball falling into the net, making Taehyung turn around with and eager face, facing the wrong direction to Jungkook. The other watched the ball fall to the ground with a bounce as a smirk tinted his face before he brushed it off as quickly

"Did I do it?"

Taehyung exclaimed curiously, an excited expression forming on his face as he waited for an answer

The other watched amused, before he turned around to grab his gym bag on the floor and heading towards the locker room

"Keep trying"
