Taehyung leaned against his locker as he sported a smug look on his face.

He kept his eyes to his shoes as he attentively listened to the pointless argument of his immature friends. He watched how their hands moved aggressively as they tried their hardest to put up their best debate.

It wasn't anything special. They were debating on which team was going to be their college's annual basketball championship. Two teams and only one winner.

"Obviously the River Hawks are gonna win this year! They've got Jungkook on their team. There's no arguing there."

"Yeah, but the Red Storm's got Namjoon. He's the tallest out there and his height has been of pretty good use as of lately."

Taehyung then interferes.

"But the number of times that man has ambushed a ball during the game is ridiculous. Jungkook can kick him right out."

"Exactly!"

"Listen to Taehyung. He's the expert in basketball here."

Taehyung hid his smirk. He raised his volume, stood up straighter as he spoke.

"The River Hawks have got the best opponents. There's Hoseok who's got the best defense. Jungkook's got the best coordination and his angle for shooting is always on point. And Jin's fake passes are legendary. No doubt that they're going to win."

The others seemed to agree with his opinion. Even those who had voted against the team slowly started to hop onto the bandwagon. 

Whatever Taehyung said always came true anyway.

"Well, I disagree."

A voice was heard from behind as Taehyung immediately looked back. His eyes softened as they landed on a beautiful girl.

Her eyes were hazel like, her jet black hair complimented her fair skin. Her lips were curved into a smirk as she looked directly towards Taehyung. What drew him to her was the confidence that she projected. She reminded him of himself.

"And why is that?" Taehyung teased as a small smile took over his face.

The girl fixed her posture as she began to speak. Taehyung's smile became wider. 

"The River Hawks have got some good players. But tell me one thing. The Red Storm have got seemingly less skilled players, but they've still managed to reach the finals. They unexpectedly beat The Gladiators, whom everybody thought were the strongest opponent. And do you know why?"

Taehyung's eyebrows raised curiously. The rest of the guys focused their attention on the bold girl. They all seemed hypnotized by her.

"Because they've got Min Yoongi. Min Yoongi's the one player in the school whose got professional basketball training, considering his dad was a player himself. He's got the tricks up his sleeves. Even if his team has got average players, that guy has helped them reach this far. His tips are gonna lead them to victory. Plus he's the best point guard."

Upon hearing her, the group of boys comically looked towards Taehyung, waiting for his opinion. Taehyung continued to be intrigued by her. No one else had ever interested him so much in so little time.
