the next day, you decided to go to the buffet room early. you were in line when you noticed a familiar face next to you.

"bang chan?!" you exclaimed, nearly
dropping your plate as you went to shake his hand.

"y/n?!! what are you doing here?! god it's been so long, how's are you??"

"ive been alright, im the "co-manager" for the seoul stays" you emphasized, grabbing a slice of watermelon and tossing it in your mouth

"really?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing in question. "im on the seoul stays team" you spat out the slice of watermelon as the news hit you

"you are?!" you asked followed by a gasp of excitement, "i guess your dream came true bang chan"

"indeed, now you have to tell me what's going on with you now that i know we'll be seeing each other more often"

as the buffet line came to the end you looked at the filled tables to see none open for you. as chan joined you, he grabbed your plate.

"how about you join the team?" he offered

"wait for real?" you asked in surprise

"yeah, it'll be a blast"

you joined the table, greeting by the whole team except for changbin. chan quickly introduced you to everyone, leaving them in shock of their young manager as minho sat you down across from seungmin. "hey y/n.. did you ever get my new shoes?"

"oh yeah!" you picked up from your bag from the floor, shuffling through some things before pulling out a pair of white "nike" shoes and handing them over to him.

seungmin looked at the pair of shoes, investigating every detail before looking back up to you.

"are you sure these are nike?" he asked before changbin could interrupt

"seungmin! remember that prank you pulled on me awhile ago, and i mentioned if i fell for it id do whatever you want"

"yeah, that shit was so funny!! what about it?"

"here", changbin stood up with a nike bag, pushing it towards seungmin as he opened the box. "here's a brand new pair of white nikes. i hope you like them"

seungmin smiled at changbin before opening the box, "thanks man"

hyunjin, one of the new players, bursted into laughter at the gesture . "god y/n, you had to be there. that prank was amazing! changbin walked into the room and boom! he was so pissed off" he said, making all the players laugh and you as well. in the midst of it all you managed to steal a glance at changbin, thankful that he'd bought a pair of white nikes for seungmin. you watched as a smile formed on his face as, him looking down at the floor before looking up to lock eyes with you. he smiled at the contact making you blush before minho could catch your attention.

"look at my cats!"

"woah, you really like your cats huh?" you asked,
peeking at his home and lock screen.

"i... i tend to get really angry sometimes. like anger issues i guess but one look at soonie,doongie, or dori and i feel relaxed again"

"really? who's dori?" you asked out of curiousity

you watched minho scroll through photos of his cats before receiving a text message on your phone.

changbin: you owe me

you looked up at changbin before replying.

me: i do?!

changbin: yes, for being the sweetest guy on the planet. tonight after the game

me: ok okk

"changbin" chan glared changbin, "do we have practice today too? before the game??"

"it's the rockets. what do you expect? i know they'll crush us but they won't crush us completely" seungmin pouted

"oh come on guys, have a little faith in our team. after the game we can go watch the fireworks or something" changbin bribed

"that's so funny, that's exactly what my father used to say on my birthday" you mentioned, gaining everyone's attention

"your birthday is on New Years?"

"no no, the day the seoul stays won their first worldwide tournament-"

"y/birth month,date,year" you, minho, and hyunjin said in amazement.

"wow! that's crazy!" jeongin added

"yeah, chan do you remember? my dad would force me to eat breakfast with you guys every morning. it's because i was your guy's 'luck factor'" you laughed

"seriously?!" he questioned, trying to remember

"yeah! just one breakfast with you guys and bam, you were sure to win the game" you said, laughing at their reactions

"wow, even my uncle said her birth sign is lucky too. it must be a sign"

"hey hey", changbin interrupted. "basketball is not a game of luck, it's a game of strategy. practice is the only thing that matters" he said, straightening himself in his seat.

you took a sip of water as you hummed in agreement. "wow, wise leader. i agree"

chan tapped your shoulder, asking you if you'd like you come to his suite and catch up like old times. you sadly had to refuse, work being an overload and the game coming soon. you promised another day however, remembering how close you to used to be before excusing yourself from the table. you noticed changbin smile at you on your way out. what a cutie.
