SEASONS OF THE HEART ✔️vk

"down, set, hut!"

Believe it or not, those three words started the beginning of a new life for two boys.

When the ball was passed to the quarterback, Jeongukk remembered feeling fired up. His adrenaline at an all time high, due to the excitement he felt just to be able to play, but mostly because he was angry and needed to get his feelings out somehow.

Charging towards his opponent, he felt the others eyes widen a little before being toppled over backwards. The brunette was quickly up, and running towards the other teams quarterback.

He hit the ground with a groan.

"Shit!"

Cheers and winces (feeling his pain) erupted in the stadium, and Jeongukk got up, dusting off his bottoms.

He felt a slap on the back, and his attention was immediately turned to Yugyeom, who was now shooting him two thumbs up.

"Keep it up Gukks!"

The blonde nodded, "yeah! I don't know what's upsetting you, but it's really helping our team out!"

Jackson whacked him across the head, "Hey! Why don't you shut up, idiot."

Jeongukk smiled a tiny bit, directing his attention towards his coach who was making overdone gestures for the players on the field.

Meanwhile, a player on the other team came waddling to the bench.

"ahh! coach..take me out, please!" He groaned in pain, flopping down on the cold metal.

The coach scoffed, "you kids nowadays.." he shook his head, slapping his clipboard down. "You know, back when I used to play, we'd beg our coaches to let us in. Even with broken limbs."

the boy paused, "Well, that's before Jeon came into existence." He winced. "He hits..hard."

The coach sighed, shaking his head. "Fine! Kim, you're in." He stated, picking the board up from off the ground.

The blonde got up from picking grass out of the ground when he head his name. "Huh?"

"Coach is putting you in." Bogum replied, patting him on the back.

Taehyungs eyes widened, jogging up to the man immediately. "Coach! Don't you think I'm a little.."

"Weak. Unready. Bad at football." He replied, as he blinked up at him.

"Well, I was going to say Inexperienced..but yeah, that works too." He said.

"Taehyung, I have to put you in. Everyone else are being babies!" He said the last sentence loud enough for them to hear with guilt (or no guilt because at least they have their bones still intact)

He looked back at Taehyung.

"But coach," he whined, "I want to be an extreme baby too!" When he pouted, the man rolled his eyes, pushing him onto the field.

He wasn't quite sure where to go thanks to his ability to miss basically every practice, and not pay attention to anything once he actually went. It's a wonder how he's still on the team, but he never thought about it. He quickly felt the hands of one of his teammates directing him to his spot.

He looked back, "thanks Bogum."

The older nodded, "Good luck. Try to protect your face. Jeons pretty tough." He lifted his hand into a fist, "fighting!"

When Bogum was gone, Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Who's Jeon?"

He went to his spot, looking to the left, seeing that his teammates cleat shoelaces were untied.

"Oh! Youngjae, yo-

"Down, set, hut!"

When those words were said, he felt himself being tackled backwards, immediately getting the wind knocked out of him.

He groaned, feeling the world spin around him, and his ribs hurting.

"Owiee." He winced, clutching his stomach.

His heart was pounding.

And as for Jeongukk, yeah..you could say his heart was pounding as well.

I think I'm in love.

"Uhh..are-are you okay?" He asked, getting off of him immediately.

He kneeled in front of Taehyung, pulling him into sitting position carefully.

"I'm sorry." He apologized, dusting off the boys shoulder pads.

From the sideline Jeongukks teammates were confused, wondering what was wrong with him.

He continued to groan, his face turning into a pout.

"My teammates were right, you do hit hard." He said, clutching his stomach.

"I know. I'm sorry." He apologized again, feeling his cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

"Y'know, I don't know much about football. But, I'm pretty sure the other team doesn't usually apologize when they tackle you." Taehyung muttered, flinging his helmet off.

That's when Jeongukks almost choked, taking in all his features a little better.

"Are you okay? I think we might have bumped heads with each other. Mine hurts a little..but I'm not sure." He rubbed the top a little.

Jeongukk smiled, finding him cute.

A whistle was blown, and Jeongukk completely forgot about the game.

"Jeon!" His coach yelled from across the field, "what the hell!"

Jeongukk groaned, getting up quickly. He pulled Taehyung up afterward.

"come." When Taehyung clutched his stomach again, muttering "owiee." Jeongukk quickly picked him up, running him over to his bench.

Some of Taehyungs teammates looked at him surprised and with a hint of disgust, darting away from the spot he plopped the blonde on.

"Kim!" Taehyung directed his attention to his (loudly speaking) football coach, "you weren't supposed to come back out yet." He scoffed, finding someone else to send in.

It looks like he didn't see jeongukk.

"Hey," Taehyung looked back at the brunette who's helmet was now off as well.

Wow.

"I gotta go back, but..I'm sorry for hurting your ribs. I hope you feel better." He smiled, tugging his helmet back on. Just like that, he was gone.

Taehyung smiled watching his figure disappear on the field.

He's cute.

In a friendly kind of way.

Taehyung found himself not caring about the rest of the game, not even grass was as interesting. However, he seemed to find Jeongukk plummeting through his own teammates kind of entertaining.

Once their team called a time out, all the players came rushing towards the bench.

"Ahh, damnit." Their quarterbacked groaned, kicking the bench mildly hard.

"Jeons killing us!" He stated.
