Forty

"Waaa..the team is really good. They're definitely going to win this one." Jaesun wrapped his arm around Eunsoo's shoulders making her chuckle. She snuggled into his arms even more as they sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket.

"Of course they're going to win, Eunsoo." In-Na barked loudly at the tv making the both of them laugh even more at the dog's enthusiasm.

He walked around in circles before laying down on the carpet after finding a good spot. The game went on for some time now and your team had just made the basket that put you ahead of the other team.

Eunsoo reached over to grab the bowl of chips on the table. Jaesun grabbed some as well as he turned back to look at the game once more. She smiled as she gazed at him for a few seconds before grabbing some chips herself.

"Give her some space!" The coach's voice rang from the tv as she ran to your figure lying helplessly on the ground. Eunsoo gasped before standing up abruptly when she saw you lying on the ground in pain.

In-Na stood up as well and growled and barked at the tv at the scene.

"Oh my Y/N-" She choked on her words as tears rolled down her cheeks continuously. Jaesun immediately got off the couch when he saw she was going to fall down. He managed to catch her on time.

"J-Jaesun...my poor baby's been hurt. And I can't do a-anything about it." She sobbed into his chest as he softly rubbed her back to comfort her. In-Na whimpered as he saw your mother in tears.

"Eunsoo...." He trailed off as he spoke afraid the words he would say next wouldn't be enough to comfort her. So he decided to give her the most comfort he could and she quieted down after a while.

She wiped the remaining tears with the sleeves of her shirt before standing back up and walking to her room. He was worried now. She was unusually silent when she walked away, pretending like nothing had happened .

Without wasting any more time, he followed her to her room. She was hastily packing some clothes into an open suitcase.

"What are you doing?" Jaesun furrowed his brows as he analyzed her movements. She sighed before stopping her actions for a quick moment.

"I'm packing my stuff." She said nonchalantly before making eye contact with him. "I'm going to Seoul. I'm going to see my daughter."

He gently grabbed hold of her wrist stopping her from packing a couple more of her shirts. She tried releasing herself from his hold but this only made him tighten his grasp on her.

"Let me go." She struggled a bit more but eventually gave up as he made her sit on the edge of the bed.

"Honey, she'll be just fine. We both know that she's one strong girl." He said softly as he gently stroked her arm.

"That's what I'm scared of. What if one day she'll be too strong that it'll just scare her in to thinking that-" She had a hard time breathing now due to the tears that found their way down her cheeks. Jaesun grabbed her hand and gave it a tight squeeze hoping to give her comfort.

"She has to fake it til she makes it." She smiled up at him before wiping away her tears.

"In a way, yeah." Jaesun laughed softly trying to lighten up the mood. He gave her a tight squeeze before kissing her temple.

"But she has a wonderful group of friends that are there for her, and a coach that will come running if something happens to her. Just... don't act impulsively." She nodded a little finally admitting her defeat.

"Call her."

"What?" He stood up from her bed and walked over to the table and grabbed her phone off it before walking back to her.

"I said call her." She stared at the phone he held out in front of her before grabbing on to it.

~~~

"Yes mom." You leaned against the railing of the balcony as you stared at the ocean. She had called to check on you after seeing your accident on tv.

"And keep yourself safe, alright?" You chuckled a little at your mom's overprotective behaviour, but what can you do about it. You agreed to that question as well before hanging up the phone.

You took a few moments to admire the scenery right in front you. The cool breeze blew through your hair making you smile. Nature was truly a wonderful thing.

"Y/N! I'm going out so don't wait up for me!" You hummed as you heard Eunha's voice from the room, followed by the sounds of the door opening then closing. You hopped back into the room on your only good leg before falling helplessly on your bed.

"Stupid injury.." You sighed as you mumbled your frustrations into the bed sheets. This tournament did not go how you were expecting at all, and this injury was definitely one of those things.

"What's with the sighs?" Lisa asked as she directed her attention away from her phone to your figure sprawled all over the bed. You stared up at the ceiling.

"I don't know..i just feel useless right now. Not just because of the injury but because I let you guys down."

"Y/N..." You turned towards your friend for a brief moment before looking back to the ceiling. Lisa crossed her legs as she sat up on her bed giving you her full attention.

"If you're going to tell me that I'm not I don't want to hear it. It would make me feel even worse." You sighed as you played with your fingers on your stomach.

"Ok. Then I won't tell you but she was just a bad person who thought hurting others for the fun was okay. It isn't. So don't blame yourself, alright?" Lisa got up from her bed and sat next to you.

You smiled before getting up as well and engulfed Lisa in to a hug. "What would I do without you?" You said lowly before Lisa pulled away from you.

"Yeah..." She cleared her throat to try and ease the sudden pain she had. Who knew guilt could make you feel this way? It had been eating her up inside but she ignored the feeling so many times before. Now it was forming at once. Lisa bit her lip while avoiding your gaze.

"Y/N, I have something to confess..."

Eunha made her way out of the hotel to the park right across the street. Taeyong had invited her out before the game and this time there was nothing stopping her.

She stuffed her hands into the front pockets of her hoodie as she approached the basketball court. Taeyong was shooting baskets one after another as he was waiting for his date.

'This is it. This is the day you ask her to be your girlfriend.' Taeyong thought as he brushed the hair away from his face. He smiled widely before shooting the ball in to the basket.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't the figure slowly approach him from behind.

"Hi." Eunha whispered in to his ear gaining his attention. She chuckled a little when he flinched at the sudden shock but regained his composure immediately.

"Hey." He said as the smile he had on widened. Eunha blushed a little as she saw that she was now face to face with him.

"Let's play a quick game." Taeyong suggested as a way to break down the awkward silence. Eunha smirked before grabbing the ball from his hold and making her way over to the basket.

She cheered as the ball made it's way into the net. Taeyong looked at her in admiration before walking over to the ball on the outside of the court.

"No fair. You cheated." Taeyong whined a little as he made his way over to Eunha. She had a smile on her face as he made eye contact with her.

"What? I did not cheat. If anything you weren't ready to play against me." She smirked as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Taeyong rolled the ball in his hands and licked his lips.

"Ok then, let's go again." They both got in to position standing across from each other. Taeyong bounced the ball for a few seconds before shooting the ball into the net from where he stood.

Eunha turned around in shock. Her eyes followed the basketball's movements until it slipped into the net. "Wow.." She mumbled. She was definitely not expecting that at all but nevertheless she was impressed.

She turned back around to congratulate Taeyong on the score but gasped when she saw that the distance between the both of them was closed. Her heart was pumping abnormally fast at this close proximity. It had been quite a while since she'd been this close to a guy.

He took one more step, if that was even possible, to her and stared deeply in to her eyes. He wasn't nervous anymore, he felt even more confident than he had at the beginning of the night. He smiled once again as he finally asked her the question he'd been dying to ask for a while now.

"Eunha, will you be my girlfriend?"

~~~

Yoongi was in his room doing his homework while listening to music. It's been quite a while, right? He sat by his desk for nearly three hours studying for his big test.

As he proceeded to open up another one of his workbooks his stomach grumbled. He placed his hand on it and started moving it around in circles.

"A short snack break wouldn't hurt." He spoke to himself as he took off his headphones and closed up his books. He headed to the kitchen but found nothing in the cupboards or the refrigerator after searching for a few minutes.

Yoongi groaned as he walked to his father's room. The convenient store closest to the neighborhood was currently undergoing some construction. That meant he now had to go to the supermarket.

Jaesun had taken a cab over to your mother's house a couple of hours ago, but Yoongi didn't know that, so his car keys were probably lying around somewhere. He first searched the top of the dresser but nothing turned up. Slightly feeling defeated he was about to give up and begin his long journey for some food.

Through the corner of his eye he spotted the little table by the bed. He eyed it suspiciously before walking over to it, and searched through the drawers. Yoongi was about to give up hope until he spotted the keys on top of some stacked papers.

He quickly grabbed them, mentally praising himself for finding them after such difficulty. Yoongi was about to close the drawer but a large white envelope caught his attention.

"Jeon...Jungkook.." He read the large capitalized black letters on the front. He scanned the rest of envelope and noticed a sticker on the corner of it with red writings on it.

"Confidential." He read out loud but hummed in confusion afterwards. What could be inside the envelope that was to be kept a secret? What was wrong with Jungkook? Yoongi scratched his head wondering if he should open it.

"Should I...or should I not open it? Who am I kidding I'm opening it!" He said enthusiastically before opening it and pulling out it's contents. He carefully read through the documentation for a few seconds before his eyes widened.

"Jungkook is adopted." The papers fell from his hands on to the floor.
