"we've been training for this forever guys." namjoon smirked. his eyes staring proud are how much muscle they've built up.

countless jogs and practices. not to mention the fact that they finished their exams with confidence.

"ohh. i'm just glad the exams are over.." hobi fell to the floor in relief. seokjin agreed

"you've all worked hard. the exams should be counted as a celebration. nonetheless we still get a celebration."

they agreed in a subtle chorus. "i just want to say this and all.. but.. let's kick min yoongi's ass." jungkook chuckled

they chuckled, chanting "win no matter what" as they exited the locker room and went out to the court.

loud bear cubs had cheered for their winning team while the tigers cheered for theirs. what's strange was how there were less people in the audience for the tigers

and what's even more shocking was the fact that the tigers showed up, with no original captain of theirs to lead them.

"wait. am i seeing this right?" namjoon squinted, making sure he's not miscounting yet it should be obvious because of the height

namjoon turned to the benches of the opposing team but the smaller wasn't there. "where the hell is min yoongi?" jungkook questioned

eyes going everywhere, including the tigers audience. chants of "wheres baby tiger!" were made

"hold up." namjoon jogged away, they watched him talk with coach bang. the man had his arms out in disbelief and namjoon seemed quite shocked to say the least.

his footsteps were slow, but once he arrived, the members had stared at him with curiosity

"hyung? what's wrong?" taehyung questioned

namjoon held his chin for a moment before looking at the frantic tigers. "coach said that... min yoongi. quit the team."

"what?!" they all yelled.

"why would he do that? he's the best player in their team?" seokjin mumbled

they should've felt joy, the rush of happiness that could've flowed through their veins.

but instead. they felt, upset.

"it's not just that, min yoongi. he left the school."

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩

before they could discuss, the whistle blew and the team was forced into their places. namjoon played for the ball and then the game started

without their captain, the team tried but they lacked a technique. they lacked consistency. and it was obvious through the amount of fouls they've gotten. or the amount of violations they've made.

meanwhile, team bear cub focused their way through the game. mind wandering off to the smaller occasionally because they expected the ball to be taken from their hands

a small cat playing with their ball of yarn. only turning vicious when someone takes what's theirs

the third quarter had ended and they were going strong, preparing for their last as the score was a hardcore 40 - 35

tigers were riled up and getting a little more abrasive with the bear cubs

"guys! five minutes! hold on tight!" namjoon smiled but he couldn't help but grumble at the thought of a missing yoongi on the opposing team

maybe it's because he gotten used to being beaten by the small man

the whole team felt that way. "jimin! watch for yoon-..." taehyung shut his mouth

it wasn't yoongi, there wasn't any yoongi. but he hit himself for getting distracted like that

jungkook jumped almost immediately in reflex to stop and grab the ball from midair.

"that's our maknae!" hoseok cheered.

and jungkook began zooming past the court. with 15 seconds left on the clock

his legs quivered at the thought of yoongi, mind trailing and eyes looking straight at the net.

he looked at namjoon with a smirk and aimed for the net, but his eyes caught sight of a figure in the audience

the kitten like eyes, the stare, the observation. he felt shivers and just as he felt the ball leave his hands, rubber grazed the end of his fingertips. he felt, this wave of confidence. of reassurance.

then he made it in, and the buzzer rang

48-45

"k-kook! look! you got a buzzer beater! that's, the  first one!" the members came running towards jungkook, but jungkooks eyes were looking straight at the kitten eyes that peered back at him

and when namjoon and jimin blocked his view, he softly pushed them and pursed his lips when he seen no one in the audience of the familiar face

he looked down, his breath heavy. was i fucking imagining it?

"kook, you okay?" hoseok waves a hand in his face

the smaller finally let out a hard breath of air and smiled in victory, "just.. shocked. we won!"

everyone lifted him up and punched namjoons arm. the leader smiling with glee as they left to go into the locker room

even though, each one of them thought about yoongi.

damn this is like soulmate shit. eye cannot.
