Perilous

Chapter 14 - Imprisoned

Heroes and Villains aren't titles. They aren't real. They are both people, with different outcomes of ability and emotion. Defying one person's true intention with a silly title like that, is inhumane.

Heroes that save for selfish purpose, Villains who create chaos without free will.

It's one in the same isn't it? It's imprisonment.

Jisoo was the first to wake up on the first day of the trip, all other students still rising from slumber as she walked around exploring. She wasn't one for staying in one unfamiliar place for too long, so discovering more of these halls and of this building seemed more interested than waiting around.

She was also hoping to avoid a certain person at all costs.

Wandering around, what interested her was an empty basketball court outside. With a grin, she made her way over, excited to play a game to herself. And since no one was around, it's even better.

She grabbed a ball from off of the rack, bouncing it between her hands on the court. Despite wearing a white sundress, she didn't care for staying modest and instead started to shoot the ball into the net. One after another she made it in every time, causing her to laugh to herself.

Though at one point, the ball rolled away from her and she went after it, not even looking up from it until it stopped at a pair of shoes.

Jisoo gulped and glanced up, suddenly seeing the one person she didn't want to see.

Jo Chaeah. Chaeah stood there with a black sundress with big poofy sleeves, with a raven resting on her shoulder. Jisoo could only stand there and blink, before slowly turning around to walk away.

"No~" Chaeah whined and pulled her back, causing Jisoo to sigh. "Why do you always have to stalk me..?" Jisoo asked.

"Because you're cool..." Chaeah pouted. "Also my soul self came here first."

Jisoo furrowed her eyebrows before looking at the raven on her shoulder. "Isn't that just a way of saying you came here? Stalker."

"It's not like you are doing anything that interesting. You are pretty good at basketball, did you not want anyone to watch?" Chaeah asked.

"That's kind of the whole point of waking up early," Jisoo rolled her eyes and watched as the raven flew away and Chaeah approached her. "Can I play with you?" she asked softly.

Jisoo lifted the ball, "do you even know how to play?" he asked and Chaeah shook her head with a blush.

Jisoo chuckled a little, moving behind Chaeah and wrapped her arms around her, grabbing onto her arms once the ball was in her hands. "First, you are going to want to position your hands like this," she moved her hands carefully.

"Then, lift up one hand and bounce with one foot, and aim it," Jisoo instructed and Chaeah tried, throwing it and it spun around the rim, before falling off.

"Damn," she pouted and Jisoo smiled. "It's okay. It was your first try, we can keep going if you want. I'll even teach you how to dribble," Jisoo offered, being entirely different from the persona she had put on for so long. Just two girls playing basketball in their dresses and sneakers.

They played basketball so much, they didn't even realize the other students were heading for breakfast.

The first to arrive were the Newbies, all standing together as they grabbed what they wanted to eat. Taehyung appeared with dark circles under his eyes, yawning tiredly and Hoseok pouted.

"You look tired, Tae. Did you stay up late?" he asked concerned. Taehyung nodded, "Mhm, I couldn't really fall asleep."

That was a lie. He spent all night dancing in those damn flowers with his mentor. But he wouldn't admit that to them just yet.
