Ryujin POV
Ah yes, Monday. The first day of our basketball tournament.
"Did u sleep good last night?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, I guess" I replied.
"Well that's a first" she responded.
"What?" I asked.
"U always look worn out" Lisa replied before I punched her arm.
"I'm just saying!" She exclaimed.
"Also, I saw u and Yeji at the mall on Saturday" she said.
"What about it?"
"U guys seem close, sort of looked like a couple if u ask me"
"How do we look like- huh?"
"I saw u two running while holding hands, don't even deny it"
"Oh yeah, we were running from Lia"
"Why tho"
"Well, as u can see, she made us dye our hair"
"I mean, u look good"
"...and she was making us take pictures for like 15 minutes and we were hungry"
"So basically u ran off before she took more"
"Yeah"
"Hey Lis- OMG WTF-" we heard a voice call out.
"...u should get a new phone with the money u spent on ur hair" Hyunjin said.
"Agreed" Chaeryeong supported.
"I didn't pay for it" I replied.
"Then who did?" Heejin asked, eyeing my face.
"Probably Lia" Lisa replied.
"U guys dati-" Heejin got cut off by Chaeryeong.
"ANYWAYS, did u guys bring windbreakers?" She asked.
"No-"
"Yah! It's cold out!"
"I didn't think of it!"
"I knew u would forget! I asked Chaeyeon unnie to get it"
"Doesn't she have work?"
"She's coming to watch our game! Also, I think u owe me a 'thank u'"
"Thanks"
"Where're the others?" Winter asked as she sat down on one of the benches.
"Almost late." Lisa replied as she looked at her watch. "They call themselves seniors, huh?"
"U can kill them after the game" Hyunjin said.
"I'll be right back!" Lisa yelled.
"Guess we gotta do extra warm up" I joked.
Soon after, Lisa arrived with the other players while their coach showed up a few minutes later.
"Everyone ready?" Coach Park asked.
"Yes" we all replied.
"It'll take about an hour to reach, u can do whatever u want on the van but make sure u don't get hurt" our coach warned.
No POV
"Alright! All of u go change into ur jerseys and start doing warm ups"
They all changed into their jerseys and started doing ball exercises.
(It sounds weird but that's literally what my coach calls it)
"U gotta do that a lil faster" Lisa whispered to Ryujin.
"U do it" Ryujin whispered back.
"Alr-"
"SHIN! MANOBAN! Are u done with ur warm up?" Coach Park questioned.
"No, coach" Lisa replied.
"If u want to win, stop chatting and do more warm ups" Coach Park said.
"I was just asking her how to do a specific move, coach" Ryujin said with slight sarcasm in her voice.
"Alright"
----
The match started with Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung, Winter, Soyeon and Ryujin playing the first quarter.
Like every other match, the game started with a jump ball. Jeongyeon represented her team, as she was the tallest amongst the five, while the opposing team chose their tallest player as well.
The opponent managed to jump higher, hitting the ball down before Jeongyeon could reach it.
Fortunately, the ball landed in Winter's hands. The girl then started sprinting towards the opposite hoop, without forgetting to dribble it, of course.
She then found herself cornered by two tall opponents. Unable to get out of the situation, she threw the ball at the opponent's foot, making the ball fly out of the court.
"NICE ONE, WIN!" Heejin yelled from the bench. And no, she wasn't being benched, she plays the next quarter.
Soyeon stood out of the court, next to the half court line with the ball in hand. She threw it towards Chaeyoung, who was blocked by the opponent at the last second.
Ryujin ran in and snatched the ball before it reached the opponent. She then earned two points for her team by doing a layup shot.
"Nice one" Jeongyeon complimented before the opponent started the ball, throwing it towards the player closest to the half court line.
The opponent catches the ball, running towards the hoop. Jeongyeon managed to reach in time, stopping the opponent. She hits the ball out of their hands and picked it up, running back towards the enemy's hoop.
Finding herself blocked, she passed the ball onto Chaeyoung, who shot a three-pointer and earned them three points.
"WOOOOOOOOOO" Ryujin exhaled. "I won't lose to u, unnie"
"SHIN, FOCUS ON THE GAME!" Their coach yelled.
"Yikes" Winter remarked.
"That was the only thing I heard her say this entire quarter" Soyeon whispered.
The whistle sounded, indicating that the opponent was about the start the ball, again.
This time, the opponent successfully made two points, making the players cheer on their captain.
Jeongyeon stepped out of the court this time, earning smirks from her teammates. You could say, this is their best line. They're all fast, of course, but the players in the court have exceptional ball control.
Jeongyeon threw the ball towards Soyeon as she sprinted into the court. Ryujin and Winter quickly got into a triangle formation, while Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung got into the same formation on the opposite side.
(Smth like this)
(I didn't do positions so it's kinda ur choice where there stand)
Soyeon then passed the ball onto Winter (PF if u follow the pic). Winter then did a layup and scored another two points for her team.
The quarter went on, believe me or not whatever happened there was only 4 minutes. The teams scored one point after another, maintaining the score difference, and as the quarter came to an end, they were at 17 - 12.
Ryujin POV
17 - 12.
It's not looking good for them
Our team is in the lead, of course
That was a very exhausting 10 minutes
"I'm disappointed that u didn't score a lot, but the opponent is one of the strongest in the district" coach Park said.
"At least she knows that" Soyeon whispered, making me suppress my laugh. The place was really noisy so I don't think she heard it.
"Jinnie!" I heard a voice call out.
Now usually when someone calls like this, me and Hyunjin would look at each other, but since she's on the court right now, I assume they were calling me.
"Yeah?" I asked, seeing that it was Chaeyeon unnie, Ryeong's sister.
"Ur windbreaker" she said, handing it to me.
"Oh thanks" I said as I grabbed it out of her hands.
I have to say, it is very cold, especially since I'm not running around anymore.
Actually, wouldn't running around make it colder?
Aish, no one cares.
I put the windbreaker on as I continued watching the game. They were 2 minutes into the quarter and the score is now 20 - 12.
Hah
We're still leading
(I just realized I haven't updated yet sooooo
It's kinda rushed, I didn't read it over, I might do that tmr)
