Y/N pov

Brave Jaguars vs Gritty Sharks

96-88 Jaguars lead

"SHARKS ON THREE!"

"1! 2! 3! SHARKS"/"SHARKS!!" your team yelled after your coach used your final timeout.

It's the finals and you're currently down by 8 points with 50 seconds left on the game clock. Your team is desperately trying to catch up and take the lead.

You are pressuring your man as he tries hard to get by but any move he tries does not seem to work on you. You waited for the perfect time to swat the ball away without getting called for a foul.

Suddenly, you see your teammate on your peripheral vision running towards you for an unnecessary double team against your man, leaving his man slightly open near the paint.

"Don't leave your man! Get back, quickly!" You yelled out without looking at your teammate before he gets too far away from his man. But unfortunately, this gave your man enough time to quickly do an overhead pass to your teammate's man.

*thump*

*swish*

It's now a 10 point lead as your teammate's man layed it up and in. The Jaguars then run down the court, forming a 2-3 zone, three of your teammates followed after. Your teammate that made the mistake looks down in disappointment and apologizes to you. You nod your head, accepting his apology as he gets the ball and goes towards the baseline for the inbound.

42.7 seconds left...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unbeknownst to you, there is a certain group who is also watching your finals game today. This certain group is none other than the rising 4th gen female kpop group, ITZY and they are all in the living room with the TV in front of them, your game being shown live. s

Sighs and groans are heard because of what just happened before their eyes.

"WHAT WAS HE THINKING GOING FOR AN UNNECESSARY DOUBLE TEAM LIKE THAT!?!?!" Yuna suddenly yells in frustration. "(Y/N)'S MAN COULDN'T EVEN GET PAST HIM, (Y/N) COULD'VE EASILY STOLE THE BALL AWAY!" she added as all of them nodded in agreement with some of them saying yeah's.

You might be thinking, "how would a KPOP girl group, let alone a famous one, watch you, a kid who just plays ball in a not-so-big league." Well......

*flashback*

"Aish. There's nothing good on the television." Yuna mumbles as she lets out a frustrated groan. She's sitting down on the couch with the other members, flipping through the channels.

ITZY had no schedule starting today until the end of the week to take a break from their recent tours and promotions. Ryujin, Lia, and Chaeryeong are on their phones while Yuna and Yeji are trying to find something interesting to watch.

Suddenly, the two girls landed on a sports channel where they saw a team celebrating their win on the court. A Highschool basketball team to be exact. It seems that the team called Gritty Sharks have won the game by a wide margin against their opponents, the Flaming Stallions.

"111-56?! It must've been a massive blowout!" Yuna exclaimed in shock due to the wide gap of the scores between the two teams.

The other three heard the maknae's loud voice and turned their heads towards the TV, showing the team's final scores.
