My dream

And.....

"YES!!" I shouted, as I saw the ball got into the basket. We group hugged shouted,

"WHO ARE WE?" The team captain, Jisoo, a.k.a, my best friend, shouted.

(Forgot to mention Jisoo. Kim Jisoo- 22 years. She is Y/n's highschool friend. They both had the same dream, so decided to work on it, together.)

"THE PANTHERS!!"

"CAN'T HEAR YA'LL."

"WE ARE THE PANTHERS!!" We all shouted.

"AND WHAT DO WE DO?"

"WE LEAP ON OUR PREY (opponent)!!!" And we all had a tight group hug.

We won against the Court Rulers. They were quite a tough team, though.

Then we shaked hands with the opponent and we shared some tips with each other.

I soon spotted my two best friends, Jungkook and Jimin. I ran towards them and hugged them both, tightly.

"Kookie!! Mochi!!" I said as I hugged them.

"So, how was the match?" Jimin asked.

"Well, it was really amazing. The opponent were really strong too. It was a good game, overall." As I finished saying, Jisoo came up.

And I looked at Jungkook and Jimin, who were just staring at her. I punched their stomach.

"Y/n, are you free today?" She asked.

"Sorry, the coach called me evening, for practice. He said, I still need to practice a lot."

"You play well. Infact, better than others." She said.

"Jisoo, I still have a lot to learn, compared to you. You started early and moreover you are trained. I am late and started training late, so I'm sorry, can't skip it." I said and hung my bag on my shoulder and walked.

I stopped for a minute and then turned to see the guys, still standing there and Jungkook staring at her, like never before, making it awkward.

I just pulled both their hands and walked out of the court.

"Will you guys just stop staring at her always? She feels awkward." I asked, as we walked by the pavements, to the coffee chops.

"Has she ever told you?" Jungkook asked.

"Well, I can see it." We soon reached the coffee shop and ordered what we wanted. Our orders came and we started sipping on it.

"So, Y/n....." Jimin dragged.

"You know I hate this. Just tell what it is."

"Is she single?" He asked. I nodded my head in response. Well, she is not single. It's another thing, that she doesn't like to tell others, about it. It is a secret.

"So, can I ask her out?" Jungkook asked. Hearing him say that, I spat my drink, from my mouth on both of them.

"Mian... But no!" I said, sharply.

"Wae??!!" They both whined.

"No means no! You don't need an explanation." I said and continued sipping on my drink.

"We are not leaving you, without having an explanation." Jimin said.

"Whatever." I said and got up and walked to my house. They started folloing me and I ran. If I get caught, they'll not leave me without knowing the truth.

I ran to home, and it was quite near. I soon reached and was about to knock on the door, when they both came and held my hands.

"YAHHH.. LEAVE ME!! LET ME GO!!" I shouted.

The door soon opened, revealing Jin, my cousin. I stayed at his house, since I moved to Seoul.

"Leave her." He said and they let me.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Oppa, they are asking me about Jisoo. Like, why can't they go out with her." I said.

"Well, I too wanted to ask you the same." He said. My mouth, hung open wide, as I heard what he said.

"You too, oppa?" I asked and pushed him and went in and sat on the couch.

"Why? What is it?" They all asked, as they sat around me.

"Ok, I'll tell you. But please don't get shocked, nor tell anyone about this. Please, or else I'll be in danger." They all nodded.

"Well, Jisoo is actually...." More than her, I am feeling nervous to tell. She didn't hesitate to tell her parents that she was that, but then they accepted it.

"She's actually?" They asked.

"She's a lesbian." I said.

"WHAT?!" They shouted out loud.

"She is a what?" Jin said.

"A lesbian." I said.

"OMG, have we all been following her for, quite a long time?" Jungkook asked, covering his mouth with his hand.

"Well, I guess that's all." Jimin said.

"Come on. There are plenty of fishes in the sea and there are also different kinds of it. So, don't worry." I said and patted his back and walked upstairs, but stopped in my way.

I turned and asked Jin oppa,

"Oppa, did eomma and appa say something?" He shook his head, saying no.

"it's ok." I said and walked to my room.

I sat on my bed and looked at my table, that had a photo of me with my mom and dad. I still remember that day, I fought with them.

Flashback

"Eomma, appa, I want to be a basketball player. I want to play basketball, all my life." I said.

"Do you get any earning in that?" Mom asked.

"Eomma, I'm not playing for money, I'm playing it for me. I like it and I am gonna play." I said.

"Don't waste your time, joking. Just go to your room." Dad said.

"I am not joking. I have got an offer, from Seoul, to represent our country. And I am going. No one is gonna stop me from it." As I said, my father slapped me.

"Behave yourself. Just cause you are a girl, I am leaving you, or else.." He left. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

I didn't what to do. Should I listen to my parents or my heart? Finally, I came to a decision.

I wrote a letter to my parents.

"Eomma, Appa,

I am sorry, but I am leaving. I don't want to disrespect you, but at the same time, I didn't want to give up my dream. I couldn't decide what to do. My mind asked me to stay here, but my heart said me to leave. I am heading to Seoul, where Seok Jin oppa is. If you've changed your mind, or want to tell me anything, you can contact him. I am sorry, but it is my dream. I hope you understand. I promise, I will only enter the house again, until and unless I win an international game and when you ask me to come home."

And I packed my things and left the night, before they could wake up and joined with Jimin and Jungkook. Their parents accepted and they lied to them that the flight was at night, for me. They were the best I could ask for.

A tear dropped, as I thought about it. My parenrs completely opposed me, playing absketball. They didn't like it really. I promised to win the international. I still haven't been selected for the final list yet. 5 of them are selected and Jisoo is one of them.

I am waiting for the list to get complete. I am still waiting for the last three names to be announced. I just wish I am a part of it.

"Y/n, come. Let's have dinner." Jin called me, asa he entered my room.

I kept the photo aside and nodded.

"Y/n, don't worry. I am sure they will accept it." He said and patted my head. I smiled warmly and we headed down and had food. Jin oppa's food were the best ever.

As I finished eating, I bid Jin oppa goodbye and headed to basketball practice. Jungkook adn Jimin dropped me and left for their practice.

I kept my bag down and started practicing.

*after 2 hours

"Nice shot." I heard a voice.

I turned to see the coach, James.

"Thank you sir." I said and walked towards him.

"Well, there's something I need to tell you. I think it would be better to say it tomorrow, in front of everyone. So, be there." he said. I nodded and he smiled and left.

I continued practicing. But I couldn't stop thinking what it could be.

*after another 2 hours

I finished practice and informed Kookie and Mochi, that I was leaving home and I walked on the pavement. I stopped by the general store and bought a water bottle and some strawberries, as Jin oppa loves them and candies for myself.

And I reached home and put the berries in the fridge and kept the candies in the rack and slowly tip-toed to my room, without disturbing oppa and slept.

I was really tired and it was a hectic day, after all. But it was worth it.
