"GO KICK THEIR ASSES JISUNG!" You screamed from the bleachers, standing up for a moment and cheering for the guy. It was just the second quarter of the game but you were already so pumped up.

Your school's team was currently leading by four points, the ball now in the opponent's possession.

"And a turnover from Han Jisung!" The announcer suddenly says making you cheer for him once again.

"THAT'S RIGHT! FUCKING MURDER THEM! LET'S GO HAN JISUNG!"

"y/n tone down a bit!" Seungmin muttered, pulling on the hem of your shirt. "Your voice is literally as loud as the announcer's"

"JISUNG FIGHTING!" You continue to scream, ignoring Seungmin's words.

When he hears your cheer, Jisung can't help but release a breathless chuckle as he dribbles the ball to towards the ring. And right when he's near the three-point line, he makes sure that your eyes lock with his before suddenly making a shot -without even looking at the ring- and winking at you.

"And another three-pointer from Han Jisung!" The announcer screams

"WHOOHOOH NICE ONE JISUNG!" You cheer right after he made the shot. But when you hear what the announcer says next, your eyes go wide and when they show a replay in the screen, you realize

"Did he... wink at me?" You ask, repetitively tapping Seungmin on the shoulder as the announcer's words echoed in your head.

'Ohhh and even a wink thrown at a lucky lady in the crowd'

"Yes y/n and it means that he dedicated that shot for you now sit down for a moment" Seungmin says calmly. You comply to his words, still dazed about what happened.

"I mean, I saw the wink... But I was just over-excited about the fact that his shot got in"

"I think we all were y/n" Seungmin replies, a little amused by your reaction.

Just then, a buzzer sounds, signalling that the second quarter had just ended and making you snap back to reality.

"Dude, she's insane" Hyunjin says with a chuckle as they head back towards the bench.

"Just my kind of insane" Jisung says with a small smile before stealing a glance at you.

Their bench was right in front of your seats although it wasn't that near. But when you saw Jisung looking, you flashed him a small smile and waved your hand at him.

"Does that girl have a megaphone lodged up her throat?! Because her voice is literally louder than the announcer's voice" Felix says with a chuckle before chugging down a bottle of water.

Jisung chugs down a bottle of water as well before their coach gathers them all up for the next quarter.

"Coach! Permission to take majority of the shots during the next quarters!" Jisung suddenly says, making all eyes go on him.

"Aren't you exhausted yet? Jisung, I was thinking of benching you for the third quarter so that you won't tire yourself out for the fourth because we'll be needing you for that round"

"Coach, he has enough energy to play all day"
"Yeah, He can probably even beat the whole other team alone"

The team continues to tease Jisung for a moment before the coach suddenly speaks.

"Alright alright! Permission granted. But the moment I see you looking tired, I'm benching you. Everyone, pass the ball to Jisung whenever he's near the net. Understood?"

"Yes coach!" Everyone screams in unison, a smile creeping up Jisung's face.

Just then, the buzzer rings, signalling everyone that the break was over.

"Ah hyung, you're so greedy today. Is it because your girl is here?" Jeongin says with a mischievous smirk. Jisung simply ruffles the younger's hair before heading back to the court.
