The clock was ticking.

There was only ten seconds left until the game was over and Jaehyun gave a glance to his teammates who were urging him to take the chance. To shoot the ball into the hoop and score the final shot for their team.

With knees bent, Jaehyun lifted his arms, then stepped off the ground one foot at a time and made an effortful throw. He returned to the ground, holding his breath as he watched intently through sweat drenched lashes dripping into his eyes.

The ball encircled the ring and just before the final buzzer went off it made its way through the hoop, scoring the home team a win for this seasons intercollegiate game.

"Yeah!!" Jaehyun exclaimed in joy as he raised his fist in the air, while his teammates huddled around him in excitement. They finally won the game they all have been training for. It was a very rewarding moment for each and every one of them. Despite being the only freshman on the team, Jaehyun has pulled his own weight in scores.

Johnny, Jaehyun's senior went over to him and patted him proudly on the back. Jaehyun turned his head to face him. "Good work, Jae." Johnny managed to say over the roaring crowd of students in the auditorium. Jaehyun then displayed a bright dimpled smile as his eyes crinkled pleasantly from being praised by one of his most respected seniors.

The excitement died down eventually and the students leave the auditorium one by one. The players made their way to the locker rooms to change so that they could head home, as the days lessons were already complete.

Once Jaehyun made it inside the locker room he spotted his teammates gathering around the Team Captain. The Captain did a head count of all the members until he noticed a member was missing. "Hey Jae, go get Johnny," he was swift to tell the freshman.

Jaehyun nodded, turning on his heels and disappeared through the doors to find his teammate. As he turned the corner, he spots the taller males Jersey and is about to call to him when he sees that he's not alone. "Taeyong hyung?" He whispered to himself upon seeing a familiar senior standing in front of Johnny.

He watched behind the bleachers curiously, wondering why his crush is talking to Johnny. You see, it was love at first sight. A year ago, when he came to view the school with his parents, he ran into the literature major when he was lost from his tour group.

The moment Jaehyun laid eyes on the ethereal and pretty senior, he was star struck to say the least. In fact, the reason he joined the basketball team was to impress the older. He had frequently noticed that Taeyong would attend every game, cheerfully watching from the bleachers each time. He wanted to be noticed and praised by the older at least once.
