First match

They reached to the club and stood outside.

"Let's go." Y/n said and they got in.

Yoongi got Y/n along with him as he knew she would be concerned about Taehyung.

They dashed people and pushed them away and soon spotted Taehyung at a corner sofa, along with his friends and a few other unknown people.

"There he is." Y/n said and they both walked towards them.

A random girl was sitting on top of him, and trying to flirt with him and some were forcing him to drink while some of his friends were taking a video of it.

Y/n pushed the girl off him and Yoongi punched the guy who took a video.

"If he say no, means it's a no." Yoongi said, anger rising in him.

"Tae, you ok?" Y/n asked and hugged him and comforted him.

"Don't you dare mess with my brother. I will kill you if I see you around his shadow also." Yoongi said and held Tae's hand and walked away, as Y/n was also pulled along with Taehyung.

They got out and Yoongi looked at him.

"If they are taking you to a club, can't you just say straight in their face that you don't want to? What the heck are you scared for?" Yoongi shouted at Taehyung, who was looking at his feet and fiddling with his hands.

"Yahh! You should ask him if he's fine and say everything will be ok, instead you are shouting at him." Y/n said. Yoongi sighed.

"You didn't drink, right?" He asked. Taehyung shook his head, saying no.

"What on earth question is that? Who even asks that?" Y/n said and pulled Taehyung along with her and headed to the car.

"Yoongi-ahhh! Come, let's head home!" She shouted and he ran and sat in. Y/n drove the car.

It was dead silent in the car.

"Ok, are you still gonna be thinking about it? Are you gonna stay quiet the entire ride? Cause I don't see anything in it. He's fine and good, right?" Y/n said.

"Will you shut your mouth and drive?" Yoongi said.

"I wonder how much your better half will suffer." She mumbled.

"I heard you. You don't need to worry about that. I know what to do." He said.

"Yeah, yeah." She said mockingly.

Soon they reached home and they got down.

Y/n reached the door, while she heard a voice. She turned and looked.

"Hyung." Taehyung called him and Yoongi turned to him. He suddenly hugged Yoongi and he was shocked. Y/n, who was looking at them was also shocked but happy to see them.

"Hyung, thank you for saving me." Taehyung said. Yoongi put his arms around him and patted his back.

"It's ok. I am always here to help you. If anyone else troubles you, just tell me. I'll deal with it." He said and smiled. Taehyung felt very safe and comfortable. He was happy that his brother had fought for him.

They broke the hug and turned to see Y/n, holding her phone and clicking pictures of them both.

"Yahh! Were you clicking pictures of us?" Yoongi asked.

"Yup!" She said and went inside, smiling.

"Yahh! Delete it, now!" He shouted and got in, and Taehyung followed him, giggling.

"Yahh, Y/n!" He said and ran upstairs to see Y/n sitting on his bed corner and looked like waiting for him.

"It was really cute to see you hug and comfort Taehyung." She said.

"He was really happy that you supported him and fought for him and moreover, after everything, you hugged him and said that you would be there to help him... this would be the happiest day of his life." Y/n said and smiled.

Yoongi smiled hearing how his brother felt about him.

"One more day to go and it's the first match. What do you think?" He asked.

"Nothing." She said, blankly.

"Take good rest and don't think about anything. Relax." He said. Y/n nodded and lay back and slept on his bed.

"Yahh! Go sleep on your bed." He said.

"Just go." She said and pulled the sheets and slept.

Yoongi looked at her, smiled and left.

*a day later

Today was the day of the first match and it was Y/n's team against another team, from a different country/city.

"Welcome you all for the Seoul International Basketball Champions, 20XX! It has been a long time, since hearing our fans cheering for their loved teams. This year, we have different teams and new members. They are all ready, to get into the court and play."

"So, let's welcome our first team, who are from Seoul, and are very eager to start their match. These girls, dream to play at this court and have only one goal.... to win themselves. Let's call up, Seoul Smashers!!" The anchor shouted.

"You can do it! All the best!" Yoongi said and patted her back and she nodded and walked to the front. Yoongi, Mark and James were all there and clapping their hands as the girls got to the court.

Jin, Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jisoo and Rose were among the audience, cheering for Y/n and supporting her.

Y/n and her team came to the court and stood on one side of the court. Y/n was the team leader.

"Their opponent, who are very beautiful but fierce when it comes to the game. They have played many national levels and won a tons of medals and trophies. Let's welcome, The Phillippine Panthers, all the way from Phillippine!!" The anchor shouted and the opponent team, stood by the other half of the court.

"Let's all stand up, for the national anthem." They audience stood up, straight for the anthem and it got over soon.

"Let's not waste more time and start the game now."

"You touch the ball after three bounces." The referee said and threw the ball and it pitched three times.

Y/n was quick and she held the ball and passed it backwards, to one of her members.

One of the team mate caught the ball and started dribbling. Y/n stood by the basket. The ball was in Lisa's hands. She passed it on to everyone except Y/n. Y/n knew she was playing having grudges on her, at the game.

She didn't mind about her. She was focused on the game.

The ball was passed over to Y/n and she threw it in the basket.

"Well, that's one for the Seoul Smashers!" The anchor said. The score board showed 2 points.

The team mates joined hands and high-fived with each other.

The duration of the game is for 48 minutes, excluding overtime. And they have a 15 minutes break along with four 12 minutes-period. There are a lot of stops in between, so it atleast takes around 2 and a half hour, to end.

*during break time

Y/n sat down on the chair, feeling kinda exhausted. The Seoul Smashers had scored 56 and the Phillippine Panthers have scored 60.

"See here, Y/n." Yoongi said and sat next to her. She looked at him.

"Now they know your strength, so better try to stay away from the basket and the opponent. Other than that, you're doing really great. Just keep it up." He said and she nodded.

The break time got over and they all took their positions.

*time skip

The match was going very well. The cheering of the audience, and the shouting of the coaches, and the cheerleading teams, were all motivating the teams.

"Now, the Seoul Smashers have score 98 and the Phillippine Panthers have scored 96. Is it going to be a win for Seoul Smashers or is it going to end in a tie? We still have a minute left for the game to get over. Let's see." The anchor said.

Lisa was dribbling the ball and there were two people blocking her. Lisa threw the ball towards Y/n and Y/n was sharp that she grabbed the ball, and threw it in the basket.

And in it went!!

"And The Seoul Smashers won the first game of the SIBC!!!" The anchor shouted over the mic.

They all group hugged each other.

"Y/n." Lisa called her.

"Hey, that was great escape from the two of them. You really played well." Y/n said.

"You too did. And you caught the ball at the right time, before the opponent could. And Y/n.." She paused.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Y/n, I'm really sorry for what you did. It was just my ego that over took me and-" Y/n cut her.

"It's ok. Things happen." Y/n said. Lisa hugged her, tightly.

"Hey, it's ok. I forgot about it."

Lisa broke the hug and put her hand forward.

"Friends?" She asked. Y/n joined her hand with her and shook it with her.

"Sure." She said and they hugged again.

They both headed towards their coaches.

"You played really well." Mark said and shook their hands.

"Well, it was all your training." Lisa said looking at them.

"Aren't you happy about it?" James asked.

"Well, this is just the starting. There's a long way to go. You have to enter the semi-finals and then the finals."

They smiled and left. Y/n walked with Yoongi, taking her bag and a towel hanging on her neck.

"What is with you and Lisa?" Yoongi asked.

"What is us?" She asked.

"I saw you both hugging each other. Anything behind it?"

"We praised each other and she apologised and we became friends." She said.

"Friends? Do you trust her?" He asked. She nodded her head.

"Well, up to you." He said and they walked to the room.

As Y/n entered, she saw all of them inside.

"Well, congrats on winning the first match." Jin said and hugged her.

"Thank you oppa." She said.

"That was a good game Y/n." Jisoo said.

"Thank you so much. Thanks for coming." She said.

"It was so nice to see you play in that court. I'm sure you will get to the finals." Jungkook said.

"Can you talk about now, instead of something that might or might not happen?" Y/n said.

"Wae? Don't you think you'll go for the finals?" Jimin asked.

"That comes after all these matches. I don't want to have high expectations on getting in the finals so I am focusing on the game which is coming up."

"That's a nice thought." Namjoon said.

"It's so nice to see a female version of Yoongi." Hoseok said.

"What do you mean?" Y/n asked.

"Well, Yoongi had also made up his mind, that he will focus on the upcoming game rather than the finals."

"Will you just stop talking about it? It's over. I'm not a player." Yoongi said in an angry tone and stormed out of the room.

"Did I say something wrong?" Hoseok asked, himself.

"You didn't. He just took it in the wrong way. Let me go talk to him." Namjoon said.

"Wait, let me go and talk." Y/n said and left before they could say yes.

She walked out and saw Yoongi sitting on a bench, under a tree.

She walked over to him and sat down.

"That wasn't something you need to show your anger on." She said.

"I understand that you are having mixed emotions for not able to be part of the finals. But that didn't stop you from being a trainer. You were a player but now a coach. Some people quit the entire thing and live their life. But you continued to stay in it and here you are helping me out."

"See, I don't want this lecture to go on, so better say something, before it starts again." She said and he chuckled.

"You are right." He said and smiled.

"Well, let's go. I'm really hungry" She said and pulled him.

"What about the others?" Yoongi asked.

"They can get on their own." Y/n said and walked to the car, smiling. He smiled at her and walked behind her and got in the car and drove.
