kim mingyu's pov

"gyu, your spiking form is not consistent. i'm having a hard time adjusting my tosses if you keep changing your form." the setter of our team,taehyung says as i finished my spiking drills with him. i mutter a quick sorry and walked towards the benches to drink water. i sit down and drape the towel over my head, relaxing my muscles.

"mingyu, your receives are pure shit today. what's happening with you?" i take off the towel and look up, seeing the captain of our team, namjoon, standing there.

"ah, sorry hyung. i'm probably just tired. i'll make it up the team next practice." i look at him with an apologetic smile. thankfully, our captain was understanding and he only nods in response.

i really wasn't doing that well for the past few days. there's something i can't explain, even though i have a girlfriend, me being the 'strongest player', i still feel kinda sad? no, what do we call this, empty.

i grew up without my parents, i was left alone at the age of 7 and had to fend for myself until i was found by our coach, kim jongsuk when i was 14 years old. he took me in, treated me like a son, and taught me everything i need to know. now, i pay his kindness back by bringing the team to huge tournaments and win medals there.

i loved Rose Quartz, keyword, loved. its not the same anymore. the Rose Quartz before was warm, welcoming, and had a homey feeling to it. but now, it changed. in the eyes of the people in Serenity, we were all assholes, but that wasn't true. they made us look like that to prevent an accident like what my parents did.

my mom was from Serenity. and dad was from Rose Quartz, that was the only thing i remember about them before they were taken and killed. i escaped, thankfully. i was the product of an unforgiveable act. no one is to cross the boundary between two worlds, or they'll be killed or banished from both worlds.

i can't help but think that i'm not accepted in both worlds, like, i belong nowhere.

sucks, right?
