010 - Sports Day (2)

______ 。______

"CITRINE go Citrine!!" the sporting house of Citrine students would cheer.

"Kang Yewon! Kang Yewon!" your friends would cheer.

On the second lap, you meet eyes with theirs and see your friends wearing variation housing color, yet they cheered for you. Not only you are feeling grateful, but also motivated to keep running. 800m is not a short distance, so you started slow. Your plan is to dash in the last 200m distance. Slowly, you begin to outrun the other students and now running in second place.

Almost 200m, you saw Taehyung watching you among the other students. You didnʼt know why, but seeing him recalled the memory when both of you held hands close to each other faces and prayed. Your face were already red from running and it grew redder at your memories. Nearing his standing place, you pumped up your feet and started sprinting towards the end line, hearing the cheers grew louder.

"First place go to Citrine!" the mc announced causing the crowd soaring louder, celebrating the winning.

You smile and waved to your supporters while jogging to the participantsʼ tent, huff and puff while trying to stabilizing your breath. After running, you were super thirsty so the first thing you will look for in the tent is water. It would be better if you could get cold water, oh my god, just thinking about it made your mouth water.

Reaching the tent, your vision finally caught Jimin standing outside it. Under his right armpit, there is a leg supporter. Trailing down, you see he has changed into short pants and his wrapped ankle was visible. Your heart sank when seeing it, but you tried your best to not show him pity.

Raising your right hand, you waved at him as your are now walking towards him. Seeing Jimin smiles like usual relieved you. You are glad he looks fine, despite the unfortunate incident. And when Jimin raised a cold water bottle, your eyes shone and you started to stride wider, almost running, hoping you could reach him faster.

"Yewon!" you certainly see Jiminʼs lips moving calling your name, and you also certainly heard his voice overlapping with Taehyungʼs.

Turning your head around, Taehyung is seen walking towards your direction. His face is grim, his eyes are shooting warning glares to Jimin. Just like how you want to reach Jimin faster, so does Taehyung. When he gets closer to you, Taehyung hands you the water bottle he brought. Not wanting to anger him, you quickly take it and felt the cold spread in your warm palm. Unconsciously, you smiled.

"I'm sorry Jimin, but thanks." you said to Jimin for not accepting his bottle.

Jimin was smiling, but his hands gripped the bottle tight. "No, its fine, it was my fault for forgetting Taehyung is your boyfriend."

At his bold remarks, Taehyung clenched his hands, while you notice his suddenly deathly aura. Deciding to play it off as a joke, you say,

"Jimin, you are the best at memorizing. What do you mean forget?" then you chuckled anxiously. The image of Taehyung sending his colleague flying makes a comeback in your mind. What if Jimin ended up with two wrapped ankles?

"Because you two donʼt look like a couple at all."

It was a strong attack from Jimin. Even your heart felt the pang. A shadow then hovered over you and thatʼs when you noticed Taehyung has stood beside you, clothes brushing at the closeness.

"Thanks for the concern, but itʼs none of your business." Taehyungʼs voice was cold, even colder than the bottle in your hand that it sends chills down your spine. He is angry. Really angry.
