❝ driving to my house,
in the middle of the night.
i'm the one who makes you laugh
when you know you're
'bout to cry ❞
"GOAL!!!"
the referee, standing at the center of the field, raised his whistle to his lips and blew it sharply.
the rival team had executed a stunning play, and the ball sailed into the net with incredible force.
refree's voice echoed across the stadium, and the scoreboard flashed to life, displaying the harsh reality for all to see:
the rival team was now in the lead, and minho's team was trailing,
the crowd erupted into a mix of cheers and groans, depending on their allegiance. it was a pivotal moment in the match, and the tension in the air was palpable.
sweat glistened on the players' foreheads, and minho, wearing the captain's armband, watched with a sense of despair and determination.
since he had been thrust into the role of team captain, a position he didn't particularly want, the pressure to lead his team to victory weighed heavily on his shoulders.
on the sidelines, jisung, along with felix, watched with bated breath, they could feel the intensity of the moment.
as the referee's announcement echoed through the stadium, jisung couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and hope.
hae-ri, was wholeheartedly cheering on for minho's team from the sidelines. dressed in her cheerleading uniform, she was a vision of support and enthusiasm.
surrounded by her fellow cheerleaders, hae-ri waved pom-poms in the team's colors and chanted spirited cheers that echoed through the stadium.
her voice was filled with energy and encouragement as she rallied behind minho and his teammates, "go minho! you've got this! score that goal!"
her cheers were infectious, and the crowd around her joined in, creating a powerful wave of support for minho's team.
but as jisung continued to watch the intense football match, he couldn't help but notice something that caught his attention.
amidst the passionate cheering and encouragement, he observed hae-ri engaging in some subtle, secret interactions with the rival team's captain.
hae-ri, her enthusiasm for the match apparent, had her eyes fixed on the rival team's captain.
she waved her pom-poms energetically, but jisung noticed that her gestures seemed to be directed more at him than at her own team.
it was as if she was sending flirtatious signals across the field, using her cheerleading performance as a cover.
jisung observed the exchanged glances, playful winks, and even a blown kiss between hae-ri and the rival team's captain.
the realization hit jisung like a wave of surprise and disbelief.
he couldn't understand why hae-ri would engage in such behavior during a match where her boyfriend, was playing his heart out on the field.
"lix, did you see what hae-ri's doing?" he slowly whispered into felix's ears.
"yeah, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? she's flirting with the rival team's captain" felix couldn't help but roll his eyes at her behavior.
it was one thing to be supportive and enthusiastic, but this had crossed a line.
they wondered if minho had noticed hae-ri's behavior or if this was something he was blissfully unaware of amidst the intensity of the match.
jisung couldn't shake off the unease that had settled in his mind.
as the intense football match drew to a close, the stadium was filled with heart-pounding anticipation.
minho's team had been trailing for most of the game, and the scoreboard reflected the tension-
but in the closing moments of the match, with time running out, minho found himself in a position to make a game-changing play.
his heart pounded in his chest as he saw an opening, and with all the determination he could muster, he made a daring move.
the ball soared through the air, moving toward the rival team's goal with astonishing speed and precision in the last remaining seconds.
the crowd held its collective breath as the ball struck the back of the net and-
"GOAL!!!"
the refree blew his whistle and yelled and the stadium erupted into a deafening roar of cheers.
minho had done it.
in a dramatic twist of fate, he had scored the winning goal, securing victory for his team.
his teammates swarmed him, hoisting him on their shoulders, and the stadium reverberated with jubilant celebration.
hae-ri, caught up in the excitement of the moment, cheered alongside her fellow cheerleaders.
jisung and felix couldn't contain their joy as they watched their best friend's and felix's boyfriend's triumphant moment unfold on the field.
"he did it! he scored!" jisung yelled before engulfing felix into a hug.
the match had ended in the most dramatic and thrilling fashion, with minho proving his mettle as a leader and an athlete.
✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧✮
as the euphoria of the dramatic victory began to settle, minho, his heart filled with joy and confidence after scoring the winning goal, decided to approach hae-ri.
he couldn't wait to share the moment with her, believing that this triumph would bring them closer together.
however, before he could reach hae-ri, the rival team's captain, with a triumphant smile on his face, approached her first.
minho, momentarily confused and taken aback, watched as the rival team captain leaned in to speak to Hae-ri.
"hey, that was an incredible match, wasn't it? i was really impressed with your support" he spoke up, grinning.
hae-ri, seemingly flattered by the attention from the rival team captain, returned a smile, "thank you! indeed it was an amazing game!!"
minho, grew increasingly uneasy and tried to approach them, but he felt like an outsider in this sudden exchange.
he watched as the rival team captain took a deep breath, as if summoning his courage, and then asked hae-ri a question that sent shockwaves through his heart.
"hae-ri, would you like to go out with me sometime?"
hae-ri's reaction was swift and surprising. she turned to minho with a cold expression, her voice firm, "actually, i think we should break up"
minho, his world crashing down around him, felt as if time had stopped.
he couldn't believe what he had just heard. hae-ri's decision was abrupt, and it left him stunned and heartbroken, standing on the field where he had just achieved a remarkable victory.
as hae-ri and the rival team captain began to walk away together, minho was left with a whirlwind of emotions-confusion, hurt, and a sense of loss.
the celebration around him continued, but he felt as if he were in a different world, grappling with the sudden end of his relationship.
jisung and felix had witnessed the entire heartbreaking scene unfold on the field.
while jisung had harbored suspicions about hae-ri's behavior earlier, witnessing her sudden breakup with minho left them feeling sad and sympathetic for their friend.
"i can't believe she did that, right after the match..." jisung spoke, anger boiling withing him.
"yeah, i knew she was a bitch!" felix huffed, feeling equally angry.
as they watched minho, his shoulders slumped and his expression one of disbelief and hurt,
jisung couldn't help but feel a deep pang of empathy.
he knew that this was a devastating moment for minho, and he wished there was something he could do to ease his pain.
