Taehyung's POV 

“The best player award of the match goes to.......Cha Eunwoo.” 

Mr. Nam Wooshik, the chief guest to the basketball match and a former coach of our school, announce cheerfully through the Microphone. The stadium which was already filled with claps and cheers from the stands erupt into further loud claps for Eunwoo. 

I can't help but laugh and clap my hands as loudly as possible. Jungkook is beside me clapping and whistling and loudly yelling Eunwoo's name. 

I tilt my head to look at Gayoung and she has a wide smile on her lips as she claps her hands, looking at Eunwoo getting hugged by his teammates.  

We already knew Eunwoo will be the best player of the match. He scored 23 points out of the total 107 points our school scored in the match against Dillon high in which we won on just 4 points. It was indeed an edge of the seat match with a lot of cut-throats playing so much so that the scores were neck to neck, all throughout the match. There were a lot of fouls and penalties. Eunwoo got two free throws, in both of which he managed to successfully throw the ball into the hoop. He was playing really zealously today. The other players could barely catch up with him as he ran tossing the ball at high speed.

Finally pulling himself away from his teammates, Eunwoo walks up the stage with all of them loudly cheering for him. He looks nervous and his hands are slightly shivering as he receives the best player trophy from Mr. Nam. He then looks in our direction and flashes a nervous tight lipped smile. 

“Look at his face. Why is he smiling like that?” Gayoung laughs clapping her hands. 

“He got all nervous going up the stage,” Jungkook chuckles as Eunwoo stumbles while walking down. He then joins his teammates and they all start hugging him again. 

The award function ends soon. After parading around the court once with their trophy, the basketballers all enthusiastically jog out along with their jubilant coach. 

“Where are they going?” Gayoung asks Jungkook. 

“Probably to the canteen to celebrate their victory,” Jungkook replies and grabs my hands. "C'mon, let's also go,” he says and already starts walking down the bleachers with me.

When we reach the canteen, the basketballers are all there, receiving hugs and compliments from their friends and classmates. Eunwoo is standing along with a few of his friends and cheer girls, talking and smiling to them whilst sipping on a juice box.

“Wait guys! Let him finish talking to them first and come to us,” Gayoung says, crossing her hands.

“Oh, okay then,” Jungkook stops and nods, turning to her. Gayoung has her eyebrows furrowed as she stares at the cheer girls who are standing beside Eunwoo. One of them is holding his trophy and another is talking to him whilst flirtatiously twirling her locks. 

I sigh and look at Jungkook. “Shh...will these two ever date?” I whisper ask. 

“Don't know,” he shrugs and shakes his head looking annoyed at the girl beside Eunwoo. 

It takes almost a minute for Eunwoo to finally notice us. And when he does, he quickly snatches his trophy from the girl and comes walking towards us, strangely his expression still nervous. 

“Congrats, dude!” Jungkook squeals and hugs him first, patting on his back. Eunwoo can't hug him back cause he is holding his juice box and trophy in both hands. I reach to grab the trophy. It's a small beautiful golden statue of a basketballer tossing a ball. But Eunwoo doesn't give me. He has an iron grip on it.
