Taehyung eyed the rookie in the rival team, eyes immediately drawn to the new face. He had the prettiest fierce smile every time he hurled the ball towards his batters. Taehyung had to hold back his breath as he watched the newbie strike out two of his players within a short amount of time. He's got one hell of an arm.

Taehyung's team ends up taking the cup by the end of the night, his smile broad but not too cocky as he handshakes players from the opposing team. When he gets to the anticipated pitcher he freezes, praises hanging off his tongue but no sound coming from his mouth. The pitcher was even prettier up close.

"Our team would've won had you not been here. Majority of your team are washed up losers hanging off your dick." oh. This brat has an attitude. Taehyung gaped at the younger, clenching and unclenching his fist. The younger shoved past him, bumping his shoulder against Taehyung's own.

Taehyung turns on his heel, just about to reprimand him before his best friend jumps on his back with a laugh. He glances back into the direction of the rookie player, finding him in the center of his own teammates.

"Jimin, what's up with the pitcher on their team?"

"Oh, him?" Jimin says, hanging off Taehyung's shoulders as he glanced at the aforementioned boy. "Nothing much on him yet, all I know is that they call him the 'golden rookie'."

"Golden rookie?"

"You got that right, cap." Jimin continues. "I heard that he was the only freshman that passed the try outs, even going as far as snatching Choi Seungmin's pitching position the following week."

Taehyung's eyes widened at his former rival team's pitcher's name. Despite being on bad terms, he had to admit that Seungmin was a great player. The fact that a freshman, a rookie at the game and in the team had stolen a position such as Seungmin's has Taehyung grinning in excitement.

A new player means a new challenge, and Taehyung was never one to back down from a challenge.

"Invite Jungkook and his friends to the sandlot, 2pm Saturday, no later." Is all Taehyung says as he makes his way towards the locker rooms. Jimin gave him a cheeky grin with a half-assed salute before bouncing his way towards the tall dimpled player on their rival team, where his two other friends were standing.

Taehyung dries his hair after his shower, slinging his bag over his body before leaving the locker room. He looks up towards the person standing in the parking lot by himself, scoffing when he sees the pretty rookie under the lamp post.

"Hey, Carrot muncher!" The captain calls out, catching the younger's attention. He looks up from his phone confused before rolling his pretty doe eyes.

"You talking to me, old sport?" A smirk plays on the rookie's lips as he watches the older's features contort from cheeky to annoyance. Taehyung chews the inner part of his cheek, clicking his tongue as he points an accusatory finger towards the younger.

"Yah, have some damn respect. I'm older than you."

"Dude, you started this." Jungkook rolled his eyes, going back to what he was doing on his phone.

"That little trick you pulled on the field, it seemed familiar." Taehyung said, leaning against the post where the younger resided. Jungkook looks up, expression blank as he pockets his phone.

"I learnt it from my father."

"No fucking way, your father is the Busan bullet?" Taehyung gapped, standing a bit straighter. The younger nods his head. "He's a legend! His pitch is one of the fastest in history! He is my idol—

"Yeah yeah." Jungkook rolls his eyes again. "What do you want from me?" Taehyung clears his throat, previously being thrown off track at the mention of his idol.

"Right." He coughs. "Are you coming to the sandlot on saturday?"

"Why? So you can eat my dust again?" Jungkook smirks.

"What? Afraid of a little challenge?" Taehyung leans forward, his own smirk adorning his features. Jungkook glares, pushing his face away with his pointer finger.

"As if." Jungkook scoffs. "Me and my guys will show you and your sad excuse for friends up on saturday."

"Is that a threat?"

"Oh, hurler, it's a promise."
