How It Should Have Ended Part2 (The Continuation)

Chapter 14

Jan Di considered Ga Eul's words. She had a point. She turned back to the boys, who were patiently waiting with their arms crossed.

"Okay. Here's the thing." She looked at each of them in turn – first Woo Bin, then Ji Hoo and lastly Yi Jung. "If you win, we buy you dinner. Anywhere you want."

Ji Hoo's eyes widened while Yi Jung smirked. Woo Bin raised his eyebrows.

"But if we win...you guys do whatever we want for one entire day."

Ji Hoo chortled, while Woo Bin simply stood there, looking amused.

"Hey, no fair!" Yi Jung complained. "Ji Hoo already does whatever you tell him to do."

Jan Di lifted her chin up at Yi Jung. "Are you afraid you'll lose?"

Yi Jung narrowed his eyes in response.

"Game on."

...

Jan Di decided to put Ga Eul as their goalkeeper, while she and Hye Jin would try to run and score against Yi Jung, who was the boys' goalie. Since they were only playing for fun, they moved the goal posts closer than where they normally were. They also had no referee, and decided they didn't need one. They both agreed that the first team who scored 5 goals wins the game.

"I haven't played since high school," Ga Eul whispered nervously, as they huddled around before the start of the game.

"Just do your best," Jan Di encouraged her. She hadn't played for a while also, but she had faith in Hye Jin.

Hye Jin was doing stretches and warm up exercises beside them, and she had never seen the girl look so alive and excited before.

Ji Hoo went over to the girls' side and handed Jan Di a bottle of water. Hye Jin's eyes went wide when she saw Ji Hoo up close.

He smiled at her and bowed his head in greeting.

"I'm Yoon Ji Hoo. Nice to finally meet you, Miss Park Hye Jin."

Hye Jin gawked at him, eyes wide and mouth even wider.

Jan Di chuckled and leaned over to whisper in Hye Jin's ear.

"That one is mine," she said, while Hye Jin turned redder than a tomato.

Ga Eul jogged over to them. "And the annoying one is mine," she grinned. "Woo Bin's up for grabs though."

For a moment Jan Di thought Hye Jin would dash out of the arena and hide, as her face was ridiculously red. But Hye Jin just stood there, rubbing her left shoe on the grass. Jan Di figured she was trying to compose herself.

...

Yi Jung blew the whistle and the game started. Jan Di ran to gain control of the ball, with Ji Hoo close behind her. Woo Bin was guarding Hye Jin.

Yi Jung stood there, arms crossed, looking bored.

Jan Di managed to kick the ball over to Hye Jin, and then she was off. Hye Jin maneuvered deftly around Woo Bin and Ji Hoo and then kicked the ball straight in between the goal posts, much to Yi Jung's astonishment.

"What the -" Yi Jung exclaimed, unsure of what just happened.

Hye Jin was a pro on the soccer field.

She weaved in and out and was so fast, most of the time it took Yi Jung a few seconds to realize she had scored again. And again. And again.

"How in the world could someone so small be so fast?" Yi Jung exclaimed. He gave Woo Bin a dirty look. "Are you letting her win just because she's cute?"
