Obsession 『WayV Ten』

🎵18🎵

Half an hour before the game, students were entering the auditorium. The place was decorated with banners of different sport teams. each side had benches for the audiences. players were present before it, they looked busy with their warm up routine.

In white teams practise hour, hendery stared at the entry door. he eagerly waited for someone. the more he thought about the game the more impatient he got. he was scared at the same time. He had self-doubt ...can he really live up to his name and win three times in a row?

Just then, the person he was expecting, walked in. He felt like a heavy burden asided from his shoulder. he ran to her. "hey-", before y/n could speak any further, she was firmly grabbed by him. He pulled her to the player's locker room. It seemed empty since the players were not present.

The room was dark except for a little light coming from the window. a long silence fell between them. y/n felt like she should say something but she couldnt. It was hard to make out hendery's expression in the darkness. only a second later, he leaned his head down on her shoulder. his hand slides down to hold hers.

"Nervous?", she spoke out hoping it didnt sound too forced. the other didnt respond. only the grip on her hand went tighter in answer. "Look at you. others are showing off their skills while you're here-"

"Im the weak one right?" he slowly lifted up his head and made eye contact. y/n smiled and cupped his face.  "You're not weak, you're honest to yourself."

"What if... my team loses because of me...

I was the worst one at practise. our opponent is strong... im no match with them."none of his words made the smile on y/n's face fade away. She still had a hopeful look, "no matter what happens tonight, I'll know you did your best.

You worked hard for this day."

"Why do you have so much faith in me?"

"I've seen you...fighting for your dreams. trust me...that's all it takes." she couldnt tell if her words made any difference to his nervous state. It was even harder to see his reaction now. but to him, It did. a lot. He  pulled her into a hug. They hugged for a while and left the room.

Sicheng was already present. He exchanged his encouragement and hendery walked to his team. Since the game was about to start anytime soon, y/n and sicheng ended up sitting together in one of the benches. he didnt want to but there wasnt much vacant seats.

The game began with an intense stare between two teams. they were glaring each other down. The cheer became louder when the red and white team's leaders stood face to face. the whistle blowed. team red managed to get the ball first, but it was quickly passed to white.

Players ran from one side to another, It continued until red team won the first round. dissappointment fell over whites. but since it was just the beginning, the audience couldnt make out much reaction. they kept cheering.

Second round started. luckily it was hendery who got the ball first. but more than three reds surrounded him. He quickly passed it to another player.

y/n stared nervously at the game. she subconsciously grabbed sicheng's hand. but the game being that intense, she wasnt aware of it for a long time. he noticed but didnt budge. her grip went tighter as the game continued. 

He looked up at her. It was clearly visible how anxious she felt for hendery. without caring any less, he looked back at the game.

With the leader's incomparable skill, white team finally won a round. The players ran around in joy. hendery looked the happiest. He found y/n and flashed her a relieved smile.

Sicheng remained the same. But he felt happy for him. The only thing he was bothered with, was y/n. He kept questioning her weird involvement with hendery. how was it that he kept thinking of someone else when he looked at her. He couldn't stop staring.The time seemed to stop for him.

y/n took her hand back, "Im sorry! I couldnt tell." he smiled in her words. but she didnt seem to notice it, both of their attention went back to the,

'Third round'.
