Jisung's POV

The first thing I heard when I woke up was my mother coming in with a dramatic gasp while my father came in with an unamused look but he still looked at mother with adoring eyes. I pushed myself up to sit but my mother pushed me back down. "Why are you even trying to get up? You're sick!"

I groaned, " mom, I broke my leg not my whole body", I tried to reason with her. I knew my mother very well, she gets worried easily and was always wary about my health. That's why she always call me and sent me some herbal teas. If you don't convince her that you're fine, she will worry about it for the longest of time.

Once I got angry at her, of course, it was partly my fault and her fault. The both of us didn't have much understanding but what I remembered, she ended up thinking about it all night and became sick. So, I didn't want her to be sick again. I mean one sick 'Han' isn't enough. We don't need Han Jiyeon to be sick too.

"I'm fine! I'm fine! Look everything is fine!", I said flailing my hands around to prove I was alright but it didn't seem to wash away the worry in her eyes but as a mother, she tried to understand my situation and gave up. "Alright but be careful with your legs. How do you shower? Want mom to help you?", My face grew red, what kind 20 years old ask his mom to bath him?

"No! Erm...Felix is coming later! He will help me!", Although I knew Felix wouldn't much help anyway. He was such a clutz. Even worse than me, he tripped over a ball every single week when cleaning up the court. It's funny how the basketball team was able to survive with these many clumsy players.

I'm sure Coach Lee will give me a talk and Felix would be there with me. A talk to me for injuring myself and a talk to Felix as a warning not to be injured too.

My father patted my shoulder and smiled bitterly. I didn't know what that smile meant but I saw sadness in his eyes. What? Was he worried I wouldn't be able to play basketball anymore?

Even if it was making me worried as well, I'm sure I will get back on my feet— well that is when my left foot heal, can't stand on one foot, can I?

My mother and me had a simple talk, about her days, about my days. He concerns, my concerns. A normal heart to heart conversation a mother and a son until she asked, "what about Hyunjin? Why isn't he here? Shouldn't he be the one helping you not Felix?", I didn't know how to answer.

Words caught in my throat but I still let out a small voice, "he's busy", my mother couldn't quite hear me and asked me to speak louder. Well, I had to speak louder if not, she will think I injured my throat too. "He's coming later!", Great going. Different sentence came out instead.

My mother nodded, she didn't seem interested about Hyunjin that much. Huh, thought so. My mother never liked Hyunjin that much, she always just treat him well because he's my friend but my mother didn't really like him as a person. She said, 'he seemed dangerous', in what way? I don't really know. Hyunjin didn't seem dangerous. Oh, trust me when I say he's soft hearted. He couldn't even kill a fly, much more punch someone.

My father didn't say anything the whole time, he just kept quiet, playing his phone and interrupting us here and there. He seemed oddly quite. He usually did that when he had a lot of thought.  What can be so complicated that he had those confused yet angry frown on his face? It's making me scared of what to come when finally open his mouth...

...but it never happened, they just left after saying they had to go back to our restaurant.  My father did sent me a glance tho.

Seungmin's POV

The situation was kind of suffocating for me. I knew something was going to happen yesterday but I didn't know what until Han Jisung happened and my uneasiness grew when Hyunjin punched the hell out of the other guy.

I really didn't know what to say in this kind of situation.

Right now, I was inside Coach Lee's house with Felix, Hyunjin , Woojin and Chan. Na-Eun was somewhere in the kitchen with her aunty.

The atmosphere was dead. If someone swallowed their saliva, you could probably hear it.

"The other team said they're going to let go since they injured our player too", sighs of relief could be heard. I didn't think the Yonsei uni was very kind to let this thing off. Them injuring Jisung could be an accident but what Hyunjin did wasn't an accident.

Of course, they weren't that kind. I saw everything. Hyunjin went to find the player he punched and bowed at him. Someone with big ego like Hyunjin bowing down at someone like that?

Hyunjin gave me mixed feeling. I knew the thing going on between him and Jisung. Jisung told me everything, from him to Hyunjin to Na-Eun. It was such an unexpected love triangle.

The way Hyunjin was acting didn't seem like he had a feeling for Na-Eun but more to Jisung but him apologizing to the other player gave me mixed feeling. Why would he apologize to someone who injured Jisung if he really liked Jisung? Did he do it because he could be kicked out of his team? That's logical but not logical enough because as a person with big ego, he wouldn't apologize and find another solution. Yet, he's apologizing for his mistake?

Just what was really going inside Hyunjin's mind?

After the conversation, everything was settled without anybody knowing he went to apologize to the other guy. Coach Lee asked if we wanted to stay for lunch but each of us had things to do.

Me and Felix was planning to visit Jisung. He was probably dead bored in his patient bed. We all know Jisung couldn't stay at one place and he didn't like being alone.

I walked towards Hyunjin, "hey, we're going to the hospital. Are you coming?", I expected him to say yes but he shook his head. I frowned, wasn't he worried about Jisung?," He probably doesn't want to see me?", He said and left before I can ask what he meant.

Sure what he did to Jisung was shitty. He pretty much say he could throw Jisung away for a girl he knew what for a few months? No offense to Na-Eun though but he knew Jisung for years. However, he could at least come to look at Jisung, right? I'm sure, he didn't mean what he said to Na-Eun. He was just being impulsive as always.

When we both arrived at the hospital, sitting beside Jisung was Kevin who was peeling apples. It was really a weird sight. I heard the rumour about them...well, no. This didn't convince me that they were dating.

"Are you guys friends?", Felix asked , pulling a chair to sit down. Kevin and Jisung nodded.  "Yeah but for a few days only. I'm throwing him away in a month", Jisung joked, Kevin scoffing at his statement.

While Kevin and Felix talked— which I also found weird because they never interacted— Jisung called me, waving his hand at me to come closer.

When I bent down he asked in a small voice, ' where is Hyunjin? ', I pulled away and frown. I shook my head. I didn't know how to put it into words but he understood me. "You want me to call him?", When I pulled out my phone Jisung stopped me, shaking his head at me. "That's fine". He told me.

I sat down next to him, "aren't you going to confront him?", Jisung avoided my gaze. "What? I'm injured right now. It's not like I can go to him or whatever plus he doesn't like me" well, didn't that sound like the usual healthy Jisung? So, stubborn.

"He can come here if he wants to but he didn't", the second sentence that came out of his mouth sounded melancholic. Had I not known him any better, I would say he was sad Hyunjin didn't come to visit him.

"You know what? I will just let the both of you settle this own your own. I'm only your friend. All I can do is support your decisions", he stayed mum and the two other guys finally stopped talking and stared at Jisung who had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Well! Who wants to play game!", Jeongin said pulling out his phone to lighten up the mood.

I sighed, I could feel this week being the most chaotic week in my whole life.
