Finally!!!!

*next day

I woke up, early and excited. I refreshed myself and headed down to eat with oppa.

I worked at a supermarket, as a employee. That was just a part time. I worked on alternatie days, at evening, after my practice. Other that that, I only practice or I would just sit over there and think about what to do next. I never gave importance to my future. I would only think about what I am going to do, in the next 5 minutes.

I finished eating and oppa dropped me at the training centre. Oppa works in a hospital, a pediatrician. He is very apt for that job. He's kind and caring, so I would always recommend him.

I entered the court and they started playing. I kept my bag down and joined them.

*after 2 and half hours

We finished our practice and gathered, aas the coach called us.

"Well, I have announced the palyers, who are gonna participate the international game. So, Jisoo, Rose, Aerum, Eun and Bora, come aside." He called and they moved to the side.

"Now, the last three finalists are.... Ara, Bora and... Y/n." As I heard my name, I was shocked. Tears slowly started flowing down my cheeks.

My dream came true. Finally, I am part of the team. I hugged Jisoo, tightly. She knew how much this meant to me.

And that was all for today's class. But I stayed back.

"Sir, thank you so much." I said and bowed.

"I believe you can do it. But you still need practice. So, I have appointed you a personal trainer for you. He is a year elder to you. He'll come by tomorrow."

"Thank you." I bowed again and he left. I started practicing.

*after an hour

I sat down and drank some water. I heard some footsteps approach. I looked towards the door and there came Jungkook, Jimin and Jin oppa.

I smiled as I saw them.

"So, why did you ask us all to come?" Jin asked.

"I have a good news."

"You're pregnant." Jungkook said. I punched his shoulder.

"I got selected for the Seoul Basketball International Champions!!" I said excited.

"WOW!!" They all said and hugged me.

"Finally! Your dream came true."

"But I still need training, so, from tomorrow I'll have a new coach."

"Well, congrats!! Let's celebrate this."

"Dinner's on me." I said and we headed to our favourite restaurant.

We ordered what we wanted and had a nice time, eating and chatting.

I went to wash my face. I splashed the cold water and a smile grew on my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how far I've come. I smiled and took out a kerchief and wiped my face. As I turned, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Omo! I'm really sorry." I said.

"It's ok." He said and smiled. He had a box smile and honestly, he kinda looked cute.

"Excuse me." He called.

"Yeah." I responded.

"Can I borrow your phone for a second? I just need to make a quick call." He asked.

"Sure." I said and handed him my phone. He dialed a number and placed it on his ear.

"Hello. Hello eomma." He said.

"I am outside with my friend. Is hyung home?"

"Did he say something?" As there was a sad expression on him, as he heard from the other line.

"Ok. Bye eomma." He said and cut the call.

"Is.. everything ok?" I asked, as he was worried.

"You can tell me." I said.

"Well, my brother doesn't like me." He said.

"Why?"

"My father ran away with someone else, so my mom married another person and he was my brother. He didn't like his father, as he married someone else and he hates me too."

"But..?"

"But, i still take him as my brother. But he doesn't see it." He said and sighed.

"Don't worry. He will soon like you." I said and patted his back. He smiled, warmly and handed me back my phone.

"Uh... Can I know your name?" He asked.

"Kim Y/n." I said and put my hand forward.

"Kim Taehyung." He said and joined hands with mine and we shook hands.

"Thank you for handing me your phone." He smiled.

"Let me be open. You have a cute smile." He smiled, shyly.

And we both headed out.

"Well, see you sometime." I said and he smiled and we parted ways.

I joined back with the others.

"What took you so long?" Jimin asked.

"Someone needed my help, so, I helped them. Well, let's get going." I said and we headed out. Jimin and Jungkook walked together, while I and Jin oppa walked home.

I stopped by the supermarket I worked in. I found the manager, luckily and I walked towards him.

"Sir, I'm sorry I couldn't come to work today." I said.

"Y/n, I've said a lot of times. Don't call me sir and I know you are practicing, so, when you are free, you can come over. I am not forcing you. Moreover, you are Jin's cousin." He said.

"Ok oppa. Thanks for understanding." I bowed and left along with Jin oppa.

We reached home and slept. I was quite excited, that I got selected, but I was very happy that I kept up to my words. And I could finally, meet my parents.

I left home, when I was 19 years. And it's been 3 years, and there was no phone call nor any message from them. But I still have hopes that, they'll accept my dream and call me.

Thinking about it, I slept.

*next day

I woke up and refreshed. I asked Jin oppa to leave, cause I thought I'd work at the store first and then go for practice. I didn't want to skip it, so I walked to the store and changed my shirt and stood with my co-workers.

I helped the customers and rested for some while.

*after an hour

"Excuse me, can I get the Iced Americano?" I heard, quite a familiar voice, from behind, but I couldn't recognise it. I took the Americano and turned and handed it to him.

"Y/N?!" I looked at the person and it was Taehyung!

"Taehyung. Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

"This is a part-time. I play basketball."

"My brother also plays basketball." He said.

"Good to know." I said.

"Well, it was good to see you again."

I looked at my watch and realised I was late for practice.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I have to leave for practice. It was nice to see you. Bye!" I said and changed and took my bag and took a few more water bottles before leaving.

I reached the training centre and got in, hurridely. I spotted coach James and walked towards him.

"Y/n, you are here. Your trainer is here. He'll be there in a few seconds, so till that, you can practice."

"Ok sir."

"Ok then. I'll take a leave." He said and left. I took the ball and started dribbling it and throwing it inside the basket.

*after half an hour

I sat down, but there was no sign of the trainer yet. I drank some water and started practicing.

After some more time, I heard footsteps approaching towards me.

I turned and saw Jungkook.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Y/n, it's 9 pm. Hyung was worried sick about you, not returning home. I came here and saw you were, so I came to pick you up. Why are you here still?" He asked.

I sat down and he accompanied me.

"They said, I have a new trainer and he'll come today. But there's no sign of him. He just wasted my time." i said, in anger.

"What will he even do? Is he that busy to not come? If he is, why would I need someone like him?" I lost all my time because of that guy.

I could've been at the store for a little while and returned home earlier, after practice. He ruined my day.

"Woah! Calm down. Just tell me who it is and I'll punch his face."

"Enough. Let's just get home, before oppa comes." I said and he smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, just before you were screwing him and now you ask me to stop."

"I think my shoutings are enough for him. He's not that worth to get punched by you." I said and got up and we walked home. I bid him goodbye as I reached home and he left.

I got in and saw Jin oppa sitting on the edge of the seat.

"Oppa, I'm sorry." I said and hugged him.

"Next time, tell me when you're getting late."

"Ok oppa." And we went to our rooms, and lay down on the bed.
