the three boys looked genuinely concerned watching me stand with puffy eyes. no tears ended up falling but you could still tell i was on the verge of crying a couple seconds ago.
"uh yeah...thanks, jaehyun" i said, moving towards the exit.
"hey y/n!, i know you and jisung might not be on good terms right now but... you can always come hang out with us"
i still really wanted to watch the game plus, i still need to cheer on hyunjin... "...you don't mind?" i asked, slowly turning back around.
"of course not!" they all said in sync.
the shorter boy to jaehyun's left reached out his hand, "oh uh- hi i'm mark!" giving me a wide smile. i accepted his hand shake.
to the right of jaehyun, the 6'0 foot tall boy with black hair stuck out is oddly-gigantic hand. "hey, i'm lucas" his hand overlapping mine.
. . .
jaehyun, lucas, and mark introduced me to the other seven members of the team although they may look intimidating, they were all quite sweet.
they were asking about my hobbies and experience with figure skating. i was trying my hardest to give them full sentence answers but i was a little distracted by the opposite team across the bleachers.
both the team captain and assistant captain death starred me from across the arena as i talked to their opponents. hyunjin slid his hands through his hair in frustration, restraining himself from walking over and causing a scene.
i couldn't stop making eye contact with the two of them until i feel someone's hand lightly placed on my knee i look up to see jaehyun starring directly at me "hey, just forget about them..." and for a split second i did due to his calming voice and dark brown eyes
...ya know, before i could see hyunjin and jisung get up from their seats from the corner of my eye.
both of our heads dart over into their direction, completely ignoring what jaehyun said seconds before and watched him march across the bleachers.
"can i help you?" he yelled out at hyunjin, taking his hand off my knee.
"no no, we just wanted to tell you that the game starts in 40 minutes... and uh- you might wanna go start getting changed..."
jaehyun tilted his head around the two of them to look at the team they were coaching, noticing not one of them in gear or ready for the game, but instead just sitting on the bleachers throwing fries at each other. he raised his eyebrows in disbelief, but continued going along with the act. "right..."
as hyunjin and jaehyun did the talking, jisung stood to hyunjin's side, silently starring at me. i watched my right foot as a tapped in repetitively on the ground, but every time i would look up to check if he was still staring, he always was.
"well, jisung... does your team know that the game is in 40 minutes or-" jaehyun asked, converting all the attention to jisung.
without taking his eyes off of me, he responded "aah no not yet, just looking out for a friend, right?" with a small smile.
jaehyun clearly just now catching onto this whole "friend" thing instantly stands up, along with the rest of his team "what would i ever do without you guys..." he said with a sarcastic tone "we are heading to the change rooms... y/n, you coming?"
my head shoots up, surprised he asked that in-front on hyunjin and jisung. "no!- cause she was actually just about to come over and see us" hyunjin chimed in.
throwing his hands up, jaehyun walked back down the bleachers steps as his team followed close behind him.
watching them walk away, jisung let out a slight scoff. "seriously?" he asked, finally speaking up.
"pArdon?" what's that suppose to mean?
"we leave you alone for an hour and this is who you decide to hang out it with?" he lectured me
"i'm sorry but you didn't give me much of an option!" i replied, raising my tone.
jisung laughed at my response, making me even more irritated. "i said we were friends not enemies! it's not like you can't come sit with u-"
"wowowowow... FRIENDS?!" hyunjin interrupted the argument. ...not the time hyunjin. did jisung not tell him about our chat we had earlier?
"hyunjin, that's what your worried about right now?! have you seen who she's hanging out with?"
"neither of you should care- why would you?!" i asked, trying to get jisung to admit we aren't just friends.
"so are you guys like... not a thing anymore caus-" hyunjin interrupted, AGAIN.
"hyunjin go get changed!" in sync, jisung and i both tell him.
he rolled his eyes as he walked back across the bleachers towards the rest of his teammates.
"you just shouldn't hang out with them, okay?"
"why though? is it because they beat you at last year's tournament? is that why? are you just jealous?" i began to ramble.
"what? n-no." he shook his head "hAh- i'm not jealous..."
oh he definitely was. i couldn't exactly tell if it was because they were better at hockey or because i was talking to them and not him.
"you clearly think your better than them, you must be positive that you'll win this next game, right?"
"...yeah" i could see jisung hold his breath as he answered the question, trying to play it off like him and his team could actually have a chance in beating them.
i tucked in my lips as if i was trying to hold back a smile or laugh and gave him a slow nod before turning and walking away
"hey! where are you going?"
"well someone has to warn jaehyun that he's going to be losing. i mean, it's coming from the team captain so it has to be true" i say trying to get on his nerves.
jisung well knows, NCT is the best hockey team around for their age group. he obviously doesn't believe his team can beat them.
"...wait, are you going to their change room!?" "y/n!" i could hear him yelling at me as i walked away. i kept my mouth shut even though i wasn't really going to tell jaehyun that,
i just want jisung paranoid.
