章 24: I got into it!
"Welcome, one and all present here. Everyone is eager for today's match, as today is the day to know the first semi-finalists. Which group do you think will enter the semi-finals?"
"Let's get to our first group, the Philippines." He said the crowd cheered.
Today was the day to know the first finalists. We were watching the match at home.
"Next up, we have Singapore, walking into the court."
I miss Yoongi's presence next to me, during the game. He'd tell me some points and info on the game and how I should get away from my opponent.
I tried focusing on the game, but I couldn't. I couldn't enjoy the game, without Yoongi. I got up and left to my room.
"Y/n, what happened?" Lisa and Jisoo asked. But I didn't reply and just walked and closed the door.
I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I have to admit that I have fallen for him. If you ask from when, I am ready to tell.
I liked him from the time when he encouraged me that my father will sure talk to me, when he made me feel like family, when he cared for me when I didn't eat, when he stood for me, when Irene slapped me.
I took my phone and called him. I waited for sometime but the call got cut. I called again but again it got cut.
'He is active, but why is he declining my call?' I thought.
I called again, and luckily he answered my call.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you even know how much worried everyone was? Can't you tell and go? Don't you have that common sense also?" I shouted over the phone.
I felt really pissed when he left without telling a word.
"You say everyone were worried, weren't you worried?" He asked. This made me freeze.
"A-ani. Who said that I was worried? I just asked why you would leave without telling a word?"
"Then why would you shout over the phone?"
"Yahh! Stop asking me questions." I said.
"Ok, I won't. Anyways, the game is going on and why did you call me?" He asked.
"Why did I call you? Just to know where you were."
"You got to know right. Then bye." He said and was about to cut the call.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't cut the call. Please." I said.
"What is it? Tell me. Are you worried about the game?" He asked.
"Kind of. But..."
"But what?"
"Nothing. When are you coming back?" I asked.
"I am not sure."
"Yoongi, come let's have dinner." I heard a very familiar voice over the phone. And I did recognize the voice.
"Ok, I have to go. Don't think about anything and take care. Bye." And the call ended.
'Namjoon oppa? What is he doing at his hometown? Or.... Is Yoongi staying with them? If yes, why? Why would he stay there, while he could stay here?' I thought.
'Something must've happened. But what could it be? Who can I ask? Y/n, think.'
I couldn't think of any one.
"Y/n, come over. The match is getting on fire." They called me. I put that thought aside and went back and joined them.
*after sometime
"And the first semi-finalists of the SIBC is The Philippines!! There are three more teams left. We'll get to know the rest semi-finalists in the upcoming game. This is your host signing off."
"The match is over, and tomorrow is ours. Hope we get into the semi-finals." Lisa said. I nodded my head.
"I'm heading to my room. If anything, help yourselves. Good night." I said and headed to my room.
*next day
Today is the day to know, if my dream will come true.
"Y/n, ready to go?" Lisa asked. I nodded and we both left. The others were at the audience seats.
Me and Lisa were at our room. Jisoo joined us.
"Is Yoongi there?" I asked, eagerly.
"No, he is not." She said. I got a call from Yoongi.
"Hello. Why can't you come?" I asked.
"I am busy and still have not returned. I called to wish you best of luck. And remember what I had always told you. You do remember right?" He asked.
"Ne. I do." I said.
---------------
*on the day of 6th match
I was really upset with the way how I played. Thanks to my team mates who made us win. But I couldn't focus on the game.
I didn't know why and what happened. I just got stuck in one place.
Yoongi entered and sat beside me.
"What happened back there? Is everything ok with you?" He asked.
"I don't know. I don't know why I blanked out in the game. I don't know what I was doing and why I was doing it." I said, feeling angry at myself.
"Y/n, being angry will not help you win the game. Now tell me, is it about your father?" He asked.
"It could be." I said. I, myself, wasn't sure if that was the thought that disturbed me.
"It's ok if these thoughts come."
"But for how long? I just can't. It makes me sick. It makes me feel like I am a worst daughter to my parents. I feel like I can't live up to their expectations." I paused.
"Yoongi, you understood it. But I can't understand it. You overcame it, but I can't. You are living a normal life, but I can't. Everything makes me feel sick and I just feel like quitting." I said as a tear flowed.
"Y/n." He said and pulled me for a hug and comforted.
"Until and unless you live a happy life, I can't live one. I promised you the other day, that I will bring back everything to normal. Trust me." He said. I nodded and we broke the hug.
"In life, winning and losing, will both happen, equally. What is never acceptable is quitting. If you can dream it, you can do it. It is your dream and here you are. Just few more steps and then you don't need to prove yourself." He said.
----------------
I still remember it.
"All the best. Play well. I will watch the game." He said.
"Thanks. Ok, gotta go. Will call you after the game." And the call ended.
I kept my phone and headed to the court. The game started and as usual I started off first.
**************
Yoongi's POV
I was sitting in front of the TV and waiting for the match to start.
I know Y/n would be worried to not see me at the court. All because of my stupidity.
I called Y/n. To cheer her and encourage her.
We talked for a while and soon the game started.
I could see the confidence in her as she stood in the court. As usual, she was the first to start. She was playing against India. Tough competitors.
The match was going really great. I could see that she really took in what I said. She still remembers the tricks I thought her.
*after sometime
It was break time.
All I could see was Mark in my spot and doing things I was supposed to do. I trained her well and he takes credit for it.
I really wanted to punch him, but I want Y/n to be safe, more than anything else.
******************
Y/n's POV
Break time got over and we still had some more time left for the game to end. This decided whether we get into the semi-finals or not.
I was dribbling the ball and passed it on to Bora. She caught the ball and dribbled it till the basket.
She threw the ball up and..... In it went!!
We got into the semi-finals!!
We all group hugged and cried happily.
"And the second team selected for the semi-finals is the Seoul Smashers!!" The host said.
We were all happy and we went back to our rooms. As soon as I got into the room, I took my phone and called Yoongi.
It was ringing for a while.
"See, you got into the finals." Lisa said.
"Just one more step and we can make it." I said. The others joined us. And the call got cut. I called him again.
"Congratulations Y/n and Lisa!!" They all said. I hugged them all.
And Yoongi answered the call.
"Yoons, I got into the semi-finals!" I said excited.
"Congratulations in getting into the semi-finals." He said.
"I don't know what I would've done without you. I would have lost hopes if you haven't called me before the game." I said.
"No, I did nothing. It was all you. Because of you, you made your teammates also to the enter the semi-finals. I am sure your father will be proud of you now." He said.
"I hope so. I haven't heard anything from him."
"Don't lose hopes. Well, take some rest now. I'll call you later." He said and ended the call.
"Let's go out and celebrate it!" I said and we all went to a restaurant and had good food.
We headed back home and I walked to my room and flopped on the bed.
It was really a hectic yet a happy day.
