Script 21: Shatter

After days of intense basketball training, the actual game was finally here. ACE Academy seemed to be confident about this game.

The SCE players wished they could say the same because the game has yet to begin and they were already sweating buckets. Cold, cold sweat. The ones that make you feel like you have to run to the nearest bathroom to take all the food in your system out.

It was that bad for the basketball team.

It didn't help that their minds just got off of a week's vacation. Maybe going to a resort to celebrate before a huge ball game was a bad idea.

That was the academy's fault on that part. They probably didn't think this basketball game against ACE Academy would be a big deal.

But with what happened between ACE's football team and SCE's football team ... Well, that had to be some sort of warning from ACE academy.

Of course the basketball team would be on edge because of that. Seeing Jaeyun roam around on a wheelchair would surely plant a negative idea in all the students' minds.

It also didn't help that they held the women's basketball game first. The men's would be held a day after.

It only meant for the women's team to do better and at least set the standard.

"Nervous?" Heeseung asks as he pats Yujin on the shoulder.

"I'm close to dying, actually." The boy laughs as he pats Yujin's shoulder once more, "Come on, Captain. You're not going to let these fools win, are you?"

"Of course, not! But winning against them may just cause me a limb or two. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this game, I've already lost two of my thumbs and a broken ribcage." Yujin said sarcastically.

Heeseung shook his head as he chuckled. He knows that it was a joke but the fact that it was a possibility actually made him scared for them.

"As long as you've got these absolute tanks in your team, you'll be just fine." Jongseong suddenly walks up to them, patting Yujin's back as he gestured towards her other teammates.

Ryujin was a force to be reckoned with. Sure, she was smaller than the others but she was strong. She could easily steal a ball on a rebound.

Minjeong may not be as strong but she's quick and she can easily run around the players all over the court.

Minji, Kazuha, and Yunjin were the triple towers. Yujin couldn't describe them more accurately. They were very strong, too.

They were all in good shape... as far as Yujin knows, anyway.

But she was more worried about Yunjin.

The scene from the resort was stuck in the captain's mind. She knew that Yunjin wasn't in the greatest state of mind. She was in good shape, physically but mentally? Yujin isn't quite sure.

Yunjin already told them about what happened. She practically ran back to them, crying before passing out. The heat had gotten to her and she was only able to tell them when she finally woke up and had a glass of water and some food.

They were all worried about her. Why did it have to happen now?

Why couldn't it happen after their game? At least Yunjin would be in a better state of mind.

"They're all great, sure but..." Yujin trails off and she stares at Yunjin's back. The redhead was sitting down on a folding chair, slouched forward with her head hung a bit low.

It was obvious from the way she acted that she was not doing fine.

The two boys follow Yujin's line of sight and they see Yunjin, sitting gloomily.
