:Chapter Twelve:

    Game day.

Monday rolled right in and it was finally the day of their first game.

All baseball players wore their jerseys just to show off the fact they were having their first game today. It was tradition really. Wearing your jersey on the first and last game the team had. Some wore it depending on who they play but that wasn't apart of the original tradition.

The Panthers were going against the Raiders. They weren't a great team but most definitely not a bad one. It was actually a rival team meaning it was going to be a pretty impactful game; intense.

Taehyung, like always, couldn't shut up about it. He was so excited and was looking forward to their first game.

He couldn't wait, like a kid on Christmas being told they can't open their gifts. He just wanted to jump right in without another word being shared.

Hoseok had told him to shut up several times yet none of the times he told him had actually worked because Taehyung kept going on and on and on about it.

Though, the elder wasn't going to lie, he was excited, too. Maybe not as much as Taehyung — because who's ever that excited? But he was excited enough.

Speaking of Hoseok, Taehyung and the aforementioned had made up pretty quickly. Taehyung had told Hoseok the same bullshit he told Namjoon.

However, Taehyung did keep to his word. He didn't say or start with Jeon whatsoever. He didn't even look at him, didn't talk to him, and refused to even do anything baseball related with him.

Not like Jeongguk tried but if he did try, Taehyung would've ignored him for sure.

The two of them really didn't have many encounters anyways. One day, Jeongguk couldn't make it to gym because his father came to pick him up early for a doctor's appointment — which meant he couldn't attend practice either. And the other day, Friday, practice was only an hour instead of two and a half so much didn't happen.

They didn't even look at each other if that counted for anything.

     "I'll definitely be down there at your game." Namjoon told the two boys who looked pretty happy. "One of you better hit a homerun for me, Babe Ruth that shit."

"We're in high school, he was a professional MLB player, Joon." Taehyung commented, chuckling right after.

"Yeah, but I'm sure Jeongguk will shoot it up for you. Just go ask him." Hoseok said nonchalantly, as if no one had an issue with the mentioned pitcher.

"Woah, woah, I never said I couldn't do it." Taehyung pointed out, shaking his head. He was too excited to eat so he didn't have any food but Hoseok convinced him to at least eat some carrots that was on his tray.

Namjoon snickered breathlessly, knowing exactly where this was going. "Just try your best, that's all I'm saying. You have a game to win, not a person to beat. Especially when that said person is on your team."

"Yeah, we need to focus more on working as a team, Taehyung, a team." Hoseok agreed with Namjoon, handing his drink over to Taehyung so the boy could have a sip but he denied, shaking his head.

"Yeah, whatever." The youngest sighed, knowing they just wanted to break away from Jeongguk now despite being the ones to bring him up. He had to remember that his friends were also friends with Newbie and the world didn't revolve around him.

Speaking of the devil himself, Jeongguk came over to the table, setting his tray down. "Hoseok, Namjoon hyung." He greeted.

Namjoon and Hoseok greeted with a smile to Jeongguk. Hoseok being first to speak after the now youngest.
