"give me the ball"
"give me a kiss for it"
Both being on the same team and competitive yet never talk to each other until now. Y/n and Yoongi are elected to be team captain for the basketball team. Good luck to them for having to deal with each othe...
"I don't understand? Why are you cutting me off the team?" You asked in disbelief glancing at the principal with the coach sitting at a nearby couch. You looked at both of them confusion being your now full emotion as they had just suggested that cutting you off will turn the team 'better'.
"It just won't look good" was the only thing he said. Your coach had barely said anything just sat and watched.
That was his only reason.
"How won't it look good?" You asked but finally realized scoffing before saying. "It's because I'm a girl"
"It's not just that you're a girl, it's that you're the only girl" he tried to explain his reason but it was only getting you even more upset and start feeling disgusted.
"Okay, then let's get more girls on the team" I said trying to reason with him. You tried to get a way for you to stay on the team as it was the only thing keeping you sane at this point.
"We can't do that" he simply replied.
"Why not?" you asked trying not to get mad because you knew it would land you in an even lower spot if that was possible.
"They are just not as skilled" he said covering his face with his hands not wanting to see you as you were now glaring at him.
"This is bull" you whispered under your breath. "I have put my soul into basketball, you can't just take that away from me"
"I'm sorry" he lied not even looking at you but instead looked at the file he was holding.
"So, what's going to happen to the team?" you asked trying to keep calm and not break down. If they saw you break down they would just see you as weak and you didn't want to look weak to them so you stood with your head up high.
"You'll be replaced by the next best player we have" he said as if it was the easiest thing to be said. "You'll be cut off by tomorrow"
"I'm sorry y/n" said the coach. You could tell that he was being genuine and didn't have a single word in this. You were one of his favorite students and players and he was one of your favorite teachers and coaches you've ever had.
"It"s fine" you said knowing it was the complete opposite of that. You turned heading back to your class like you were told to. You sat quietly and Tae asked how you were and what the principal needed to talk to you about and you simply replied with
"He cut me off the team"
This completely shocked him.
Why out all people would you be cut off the team?
Word quickly got around and by the end of the day people started to take pity on you and kept saying they were sorry for you and you didn't deserve this.
But before you left school you were quickly pulled to an empty class. The person flicked the lights on and you saw that it was Yoongi that pulled you aside making you slightly sigh in relief that it wasn't just a random stranger.
It had been at least a month since you two or Jungkook talked wanting to give them both space like Jimin said to do.
"I heard what happened" he said simply and sat on top of the wooden desk.
"At least you get to be declared as the best basketball player now right?" You asked trying to lighten the mood up a bit not wanting to show how hurt you truly were.
"Just because you won't be on the team doesn't mean you're not the best player" he said looking up at you while you sat on top of the desk next to the one he was sitting on top of. You gulped wanting to hide the tears that were threatening to spill out.
"I just don't understand why" you stated honestly wrapping your hands together. You're eyes were slowly starting to water and your nose was getting runny all of a sudden.
"Don't cry" he said and tried to comfort you by running your back slowly up and down which worked a bit.
"I'm not"
"You're eyes are telling me otherwise"
"I have allergies"
"Uh huh" he said sarcastically making you slightly punch him which caused both of you to laugh making you feel instantly a bit better. "Did he give you a reason as to why you were cut off"
"All he said was 'it won't look good for the team'" you said quoting what you could remember the principle saying.
"That doesn't even make any sense. If anything it should make the team look better and empower younger girls that you don't have to be a guy to be the best player in your school" he said making you smile at what he stated.
If only the principle could look at it like that.
You placed your head on his shoulder for a couple of minutes almost wanting to go to sleep but you held back. He placed his head on top of yours almost making it seem as is he was securing and protecting you.
