-Seoul college stadium-

The college stadium buzzed with energy, packed with students from both Busan Gems College and other schools. The match was a huge deal, but what really caught everyone's attention wasn't just the game itself—it was the captain of Seoul's Tiger team, a name on everyone's lips.

Jungkook, Jimin, and Mark were squeezing through the crowd, trying to find seats when Jungkook overheard a group of girls gossiping nearby.

"I know, right? He's the best! Of course, he's going to win," one of the girls said, her voice laced with admiration.

Jungkook rolled his eyes. *No way. Jackson's going to crush them,* he thought.

"And I heard guys who are good at basketball are beasts in bed," the girl continued with a giggle, sounding more desperate than admiring.

Jungkook cringed, scrunching up his nose in disgust before finally finding his seat.

They managed to score front-row seats, a perk of being Jackson's close friends. As they sat down, the stadium was already buzzing with excitement.

The commentators hyped up both teams. "This is going to be an epic match, folks! Team Tiger from Seoul, undefeated for two years straight, against Busan Gems, making their first appearance at this level!"

The announcer's voice echoed through the stadium. "And now, let's welcome the Gems!" The crowd erupted as Jackson's team jogged onto the court, earning loud cheers and applause.

"And now, the reigning champions—Team Tigers!"

The stadium roared, fans standing and screaming as the Tigers entered. Jungkook glanced around, unimpressed, until the captain came into view. His heart skipped a beat.

It was Taehyung.

Taehyung, with his bandana tied around his forehead, running across the court with his teammates, wearing a sleeveless top and shorts. He looked effortlessly athletic—sexy even, Jungkook thought, his face flushing red.

Jungkook quickly pulled a snack wrapper up to cover his face, praying Taehyung wouldn't notice him. Luckily, Taehyung didn't see him... at first.

The game started, intense from the get-go. Both teams matched each other point for point, the crowd roaring with every basket. Then, suddenly, Taehyung slipped and hit the ground hard.

Without thinking, Jungkook shot up from his seat, shouting, "Taehyung, careful!"

Heads turned. Taehyung's eyes locked onto Jungkook's, his gaze lingering for a moment too long. The world around them faded as they stared at each other, both frozen in place. But before the moment could stretch further, one of Taehyung's teammates nudged him back to reality, reminding him to focus on the game.

The game continued, and after a grueling half hour, Taehyung's team won again. The stadium exploded with cheers. Jungkook felt a mix of emotions—proud of Taehyung but sad for Jackson. Still, seeing the teams being friendly with each other after the match made it a little easier.

As Jungkook, Jimin, and Mark were talking about the game, someone tapped Jungkook on the shoulder. He turned around, and there was Taehyung, standing right in front of him.

"Uh... thanks," Taehyung said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Jungkook blushed, "No problem, I guess." His cheeks flushed red, and Taehyung couldn't help but find him adorable.
