Jungkook raises his hand for a high-five, "Welcome to the team~"  Y/N high-fives Jungkook and nods in a "thanks for having me" way.  Taehyung finishes his stretching and joins Jin's team.  He gets hyped up when his side cheers for him, making him serve first.

"Y/N-ssi," Namjoon lowly calls the girl closer to him.  Y/N looks to him, waiting for whatever he needs to say.  "When Jin jumps up for a spike, leave it up to Jungkook and I, arrasso?" he asks, looking to Y/N- who's currently in the middle blocker position on the court.  Y/N nods and returns to her position.

"BRING IT!" Yoongi yells as Taehyung smirks- performing a hard jump serve.  Yoongi fly-receives the ball but it goes over back to Jin's side.  "Shit... MIANHE!" Yoongi yells, standing back up.  "Don't mind, don't mind! We'll stop this one!" Jungkook yells, watching for Jin.

As expected, Jin jumps up for a spike to which Namjoon and Jungkook close off his line shot route.  Mid-air, Jin changes his arm position and spikes a cross-shot.  Though, a loud noise is heard, when the ball suddenly hits beside Jin on the floor.  The ball bouncing repeatedly afterwards.

The three front-line players descend from their jump, Y/N shakes her left hand off from the stinging.  The seven coaches look to the short 5'2 girl, their eyes enlarge in shock.  "What just happened-?" Jimin's eyes widen from Jin's side.

Y/N looks to Namjoon and bows ninety-degrees.  "Mianhaeyo, force of habit," she bows respectfully before returning to her normal spot.  "Y-Y/N-shi..." Hoseok calls out to the girl, stuttering in shock.  Y/N turns to look at her senior, she tilts her head.  "How high is your vertical jump...?"  She replies nonchalantly, "94 centimeters."

"THAT'S IMPRESSIVE! WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING OF HER BECOMING A MIDDLE BLOCKER!" the coaches thought, looking at the girl with astonished faces.

Jin looks at the girl in stunned silence.  He tilts his head, slowly smiling as he turns around to face his teammates then back at Namjoon's side.

"With that kind of vertical jump... she'd be unstoppable as a spiker-"

The rest of the coaches repeatedly compliment the girl on how high she can jump.

"- maybe I'll help nurture her as a spiker..."

-

Hours later, it becomes 19:03 (7:03 PM).  The coaches end their training for the day, dismissing the girls.  Finishing the main cleanup, they decide to leave a cart of volleyballs out.

"We'll head out for the night! See you all tomorrow!" the coaches wave goodnight to Jin, Hoseok, and Yoongi.  "Arrasso! Goodnight!" the three reply in return, watching the four others leave.

The three repeatedly practice each other's skills, the sounds of shoes and ball slamming can be heard by Y/N.  Whom is outside the door.

"Anneong."

Y/N walks inside, bowing in respect to the three.  "Ah, nice to see you here, Y/N-shi," Jin gives a friendly smile, waving her over with his free hand.  Yoongi smiles and jerks his head towards Hoseok and Jin, "These idiots have been talking about you non-stop."  Jin throws the ball over the net towards Yoongi, he hisses, "Aish, you kid..."  Jin sticks his tongue out at Yoongi as the latter snickers, "... I'm guessing you came back here to practice. Mind crashing ours?"

The short setter shakes her head, jogging over to the three.  "Kamsahamnida," she bows her head, jogging to Yoongi's side of the court.  Yoongi greets the girl with a high-five.  "Go to the front- let's see those high jumps of yours." Yoongi winks, gesturing Y/N to the front.  Y/N nods in reply, "Okay."  She jogs to the frontline, readying herself.  Yoongi yells before doing an overhand serve.

As the ball slowly hovers over the net- in a split-second, Y/N enters her quick thinking palace.  Observing with only what her eyes can see on the other side of the net.

She watches Jin underhand receive towards Hoseok.  "Receive was too low." Hoseok covers for Jin, positioning himself under the falling ball.  Jin then starts his approach as Jungkook touches the ball, Y/N still carefully observing.  "What tempo..." Watching Hoseok's form and how much surface area he covers the ball, Y/N moves to her right (Jin's left side) and jumps at her highest block height- meeting Jin in mid-air as well.  The only thing keeping them separated is the net and the ball floating on top of it.  "He switched from a second to a first tempo, of course. I should've noticed it sooner."

Jin slightly panics mid-air as Y/N covers his line shot, forcing him to go cross or feint.  "Shit! She's fast!" he thought, cursing to himself.  He feints last second, though Y/N manages to slow the ball's momentum.  "Feint!" she yells behind her.  Jin groans in contempt as Yoongi digs it up, sending the ball high in the air.

Yoongi gets up as Y/N and Jin descend from their jump.  "Hit it over!" Yoongi yells at Y/N.  The latter looks up, taking a couple steps backwards before making her running approach.

She runs, putting all her weight onto her feet, she springs upwards.  At the same time, Jin and Hoseok perform a double-block, cutting off her line shot on her right-side.

Their eyes widen, "She's..."

Y/N performs a cross shot with her arm across the block, the ball bouncing off the ground harshly. Descending from her jump, she looks up to the two tall coaches. Her eyes seem intimidating- yet determined.

"She's left-handed?!"
