Chapter Text
I remember the first time we know each other.
It was penalty round. He stood in the middle of the uni's gym, grabbed the basketball, and wore red jersey with "YOONGI 93" letter on his back. He also wore red headband, with his sweat dripped wet on his forehead. Gaining confidence, he started to dribble the ball, and shoot! It went in through the basket.
"point for Bulletproof Team!"
All people on the gym cheering for the team. He's satisfied. His team running towards him to cheer up together.
"live our captain! Min Yoongi! Min Yoongi!" He smile widely, cheer up with his team member too.
The girls on the bench went crazy cheering up his name. "omg did you see him? He's so cool!!!" one of them said it loudly to the other girls. Apparently they are the cheerleader team; I can see from their uniform.
Taehyung, who was the one of the member of basketball team, came to sit beside me, with his wet jersey because of his sweat and heavy breathing. I smile to him. "good job tae, your team win." Tae doesnt seems to hear me clearly because he's exhausted and the gym is too crowded.
I gave him his towel to wiped his sweat. "He's the captain of the team?" i asked to Taehyung while pointed on that red headbanded boy. Taehyung nodded.
I stare at him from my bench. I can understand why those girls were cheering so hard on him. Look at him. He's not very tall; 173 cm; if you compare him with the other team member, he is the shortest, but his ability to playing that basketball is no joke. No wonder he's the team captain. He maybe the shortest member but he was the fastest and he gave most of the team's point.
"Jimin-ah, I'm gonna take shower first before we go home, wait for me okay?" Taehyung said. I nodded.
What am I doing here? Am i the team member? Nope. I'm here to support my best friend, my childhood friend, Kim Taehyung. He is student of English Literature Mayor, while me student of Modern Art Mayor. After class I come to this gym on Wednesday to cheer him up, and then we go home together. His home and my home are not so far; just 500 m away.
And me? I'm not the basketball team member. I'm not too interested with sports. I joined contemporary dance club and practice weekly on Thursday, and Taehyung will do the same as I do; waiting me until practice are done and the go home together.
After all those Taehyung's practice, I never seems to interested with the captain team. I often watching Taehyung playing basketball, but I never pay attention to the captain team.
Until now.
That red headbanded boy come towards me; I'm confused for a second, but he grabbed his bag that he put on my side; I didn't notice it though; but I think he didn't seems to pay attention to my presence anyway.
But I was wrong that day.
That day, when he first saying:
"Hi, I'm Min Yoongi."
