*10 years earlier*   Joohyun POV:      "Alright ladies let's try this again I want a clean run," the coach yelled. "We're gonna start off at first. First you're gonna throw it to short stop. Short you're gonna throw it to the pitcher, pitcher throw it to third, third throw it to second, second throw it to home and home throw it back to first"      Kai, Sehun, Yoona, and myself were watching the Bears Varsity girls team practice. We had always loved watching the baseball and softball teams practice. It's sort of what made us friends.      We had all just finished playing a small game with the other kids in the neighborhood. We still had our bats and gloves from the game. We watched in awe as the girls passed to each other with almost lightning like speed.      "I wanna be on that team when I go to high school," I said not taking my eyes off the players.      "Me too," Yoona added.      "I don't," Kai said. "Me and Sehun are gonna be on the boys team and we're gonna kick every other teams ."      "Why can't you be on a team with us?" I asked. At the time I didn't know why boys and girls always needed to be separated. Well, it was more like I didn't understand.      "Duh. Isn't it obvious you're girls and we're boys. Girls are weaker than us big strong men," he gloated, flexing his nonexistent muscles. "If you play on the same team as us you'll just get hurt and then you'll cry like a baby. You can't have cry baby girls on the same team as big manly men."      I pouted. I maybe many things but the last thing I will ever be is a cry baby.      "Girls are not cry babies," I protested.      "Only cry babies say they aren't cry babies," he teased.      I felt my face begin to burn and my eyes begin water.      Sehun dropped his baseball bag and came over to hug me.      "It's ok Hyunnie-ah you're not a cry baby, Kai hyung is just being mean," Sehun said, while comforting me.      "Really," I said wiping my eyes. "You mean that?"      "Of course." he replied with a big smile that showed his missing teeth. I smiled back.      "Besides," he whispered. "The only real cry baby here is Kai."      I giggled. No matter what the situation Sehun oppa always knew what to say to make me feel better.      "Thank you oppa," I said hugging him tightly. When I did I heard his heart beat speed up. It often times did that but I never knew what it meant.      "Y-You don't have to thank me." He seemed bashful. "I'm just doing my job as your oppa."      "Hey hey hey," a familiar deep voice called. I let go of Sehun. We turned around and Kai's dad, the high schools baseball coach, was coming this way.      "Appa," Kai called.      "Hey slugger what's going on over here," he asked while ruffling Kai's hair.      "We're watching the Softball team play," I replied.      "I see. They're really good aren't they?"      "They're super good.  I'm gonna pitch just like that girl!" I exclaimed pointing to the Bears pitcher.       Aside from the pitchers in college, Hwang Minhee was who I idolized the most. My dad had read me an article about her. How she was one of the best pitchers in the high school league and more. I always practiced my pitching so I could be just like her. Maybe even better.      "So you're gonna be just like her," Mr. Kim asked.      "Yep. Maybe even better. And I'm gonna be on the high school team too!      He chuckled at me. "Well you better practice extra super hard."      "I always practice extra super hard."      "It doesn't matter," Kai interrupted. "Even if you're as good as Minhee you'll
