Can I Love You

"noona" Jinah whispers checking her friend.. she's been quiet for quite some time now and Jinah is not used to it. JM comes with them making sure she's fine, he waits for her till the gym opens. Jinah told him everything that happened about their supposed performance in front of their coach. Taehyung stays silent. She doesn't care if he will know it. Even Alex can't leave her, he felt he did her wrong by telling their coach what Zoe replied to her while Taehyung simply doesn't care, she's too tired to think about her but her friends think she's hurt

They were not taking a bus. Taehyung continues to walk silently while her friends follows her. Alex walks beside her

"Tae,. I'm sorry.." he's trying to make her talk. Taehyung glances at him and smile

"I've said.. you're not at fault.. she's the one really replied that and I don't care if she got angry at me.. I don't have time for her"

"I just felt that Ms. Reyes should know about it. We all look stupid waiting for them, She's only our captain but she thinks she has power over us"

"don't worry now.. all we have to do is to make our routine clean for Ms. Reyes"

"yeah, you're right.. I'll be going now, this is not my way home.. see you all tomorrow"

"okay, take care.. see you tomorrow"

They all wave at him but JM stays with the two

"are you not going home yet?" Jinah asks seeing JM glancing at Taehyung

"I'll walk you home, it's still early and we don't have much homework to do so if you may.. I want to stay for a little more"

Taehyung nods at him before opening their gate. She calls for her kitty and it peaks on it's box

"minmin.. are you hungry? I'm sorry I came late"
The kitten ducks inside the box and meow

"It's cute.. I don't know you have a pet., You like cats!"  JM got excited seeing the small kitten in the box. He put down his bag and scoop it and lay it on his lap

"This is so cute Tae.. I like cats too"

Jinah smiles and find ways to lighten her friend's mood

"Now minmin has a Dad too"  she winks at JM and he laughs awkwardly but Taehyung goes inside to get some food ignoring what she just said. After some time JM took his leave asking Jinah if she's going with him but Jinah says she sent a message to her cousin to get her

They did some of their homework.  She looks at the time and realized it's late.

"Are you sure Jimin will come to get you? It's almost 8pm now they must be tired and forget to pick you up?" Taehyung got worried. If Jimin wouldn't pick Jinah she's the one to walk her at home

When someone knocking on the gate

*

Jungkook plays but his mind is with his best friend. He's worried about her. It's the first time they saw Ms. Reyes that angry. She's very disappointed in them. He grit his teeth thinking of what Zoe replied to her. All of them heard what Alex read on their group chat.

She's full of herself to say that to her members

He wants to finish the game fast and pay her a visit. Maybe Jimin is right.. he needs to pay attention to her. He looks up to see the remaining time till the buzzer beats. They were scoring good and he's getting tired.. he kicks the ball and aiming for a goal and the time hits zero

Mr. Lopez claps his hands happy for the outcome..

"Good work everyone! That is great though we need to start later than expected..Be here again the day after tomorrow, we will be having 3 times a week rehearsal understand? Be careful everyone, avoid getting injured alright?"
