The Tournament (Part 1)

Fragment of Memories

 

 

FLASHBACK - 20/08/2009

 

Amber's POV

“Okay, now guys we are already here so let’s use this opportunity to kick some and prove that we can do this!” Coach Hae said to us, boys and girls team, before our first match, giving us some encouragement.

“Yes Coach!”

“Who are we!?”

“We are SM High School!”

“What we gonna do!?”

“Kick their back home!”

“Good, that’s the spirit, now go and get them!”

 

 

We have our tournament at the Seoul Sport’s basketball stadium. It’s huge and can take many audiences and since this is National championship, teams from all High School in Korea come to this place. We, the girl’s team will have our first match first against Busan High School. After a good speech from the coach, we walk out from the locker room and proceed to the court when our friends suddenly call for us

 

 

“Amber! Min! guys!” Key said waving to us

“Guys!” We said back to them, there are Key, Luna, Suzy, Jiyoung, Ssul, Ailee and Krystal. Vic-umma is our team’s doctor and Hae-hyung is our coach, remember? Our school allowed the students to come here and cheer us, many students come here, I’m happy that they support us

“Yah don’t mess up and bring back the trophy” Luna said to us

“Aww Luna you just put more pressure into us” Onew said pouting

“You know I’m just kidding baby” She said, pinch his nose and kiss his cheek, yup they’re dating.

“Geez you lovers, now I feel more and more alone, let’s go guys we need to be there now” Jjong said annoyed

“Hahaha just say you envy them Jjong” Henry said to him and Jjong pouted

“Just do your best on the court and don’t injury yourself, okay?” Jiyoung said to us

“Of course! We will see you again after match, okay? Bye now” Taemin said and we started walk away and the girls with Key started to walk away to the audiences seats too, but then someone called me

 

 

“Am!” I turned my head to see Krystal jogging towards me

“Hm? What’s wrong Krys?”

“Umm.. do your best stupid, and umm.. be careful out there, promise?” She said taking my hand on her and squeezed it a little

“Sure, don’t worry Krys” I squeezed back her hand and run my thumb on her hand, it gently to assure her that everything will be okay “Just don’t forget to prepare my present if we won this thing” I give her my dork smile

“Yah! I said I won’t give you anything” she said and slapping my arms

“Aww violent princess, well got to go now, bye Krys” I said and pat her head before headed out to the court.

“So, feels fired up after some sweet encouragement from our little Jung?” Min said to me teasingly while wriggling her eyebrows when I come join the team on the side court

“Yah Min” I said like I was annoyed but I can feel my face become red, fortunately the coach call for us so Min can’t talk about it more

 

 

When we got on our position on the court, I take time to scan the audience to see where my friends sit on. After a while I find them sitting at the middle of the audience’s seat. I look at Krystal and to my surprise she is looking at me too, so we stare at each other for a while. She smiled at me and I smiled at her too, my focus back to the game when I hear the referee ask “You guys ready?” After that we hear a long whistle that means the game start now

 

 

 

 

 

It turns out that we are doing well at this tournament. After a week of match against High School all over Korea, we finally get to the final. To win this tournament completely and get the National trophy, we need both team (boys and girls) to win the tournament, if only one of our team win the tournament, we will just get a winner trophy, fortunately this year both of our team make it to the final so we have chance to win the National trophy.

 

 

“This is it kids. The day of the final, you guys already make it this far. Do you think we deserve this?” Couch Hae said to us, boys and girls teams, to encourage us before our final match begin, we are currently at the boys locker room now.

 

The boys will have their final match in 10 minutes while the girl’s team will have our final match after the boy’s. Our opponents are Seoul High School for both boys and girls team. Yup, this will be a match that determined who will bring the National trophy home, and for your record Seoul High School is National champion for 3 years in a row, they are really strong.

 

“We do, sir!”

“I can’t hear you, DO WE DESERVE IT!?”

“WE DO SIR!”

“Good. I just want to say guys, that I proud of you all, whatever happens out there, you’re doing great and I will be always proud of you guys, prove them that you deserve this. You deserve to be a champion. Act like a champion, be a champion!” Hae coach said to us

“Act like a champion, be a champion!” we said to him

“I won’t say that it’s not important winning or losing because IT IS IMPORTANT, being second is so come here and let’s win this” coach Hae gesturing to us to come to him and put our hands in the middle together

“Okay kids, Who are we!?”

“We are SM High School!”

“What we gonna do!?”

“Kick their back home!”

“Then let’s do it!” Coach Hae scream as loud as he can

“HELL YEAH!!” We scream back as loud as we can

 

 

 

 

 

“Where are they?” I said looking for our friends, they usually come by to cheer us before our match

“Ah, Ailee text me before that they go to their seats immediately because there are so many audiences since this is final and they don’t want to not getting any seats” Min said to me

“Ah, okay”

“Disappointed, llama?” She said again, smirking

“Why would I?” I asked her, confused

“Because your princess won’t come here first to cheer you” She said teasing me

“Yah it’s not like that Min” I said but my face already red

“Hahaha whatever llama” She said

 

 

Because the first match is the boys, the girls can relax for a while, but we still sit and watch the boys match to cheer them. It’s already quarter 2 and we can see that the score is tight but our boys a little bit leading from the other team.

 

Already quarter 2, that means our match already come closer

 

I excuse myself from our team’s seats to get some drink and calm myself down “Don’t drink too much llama, we don’t want you take a pee in the middle of our match” Min said teasingly to me and our team mates just laughing at her, well she just like to teasing me, she know that I need to calm myself down and get some fresh air before the match. So I go outside the stadium and find a vending machine then buy some from it. The outside part of the stadium is now empty since everyone inside watching the match, well I like it this way so no one will bother my alone time. But then I hear a familiar voice

 

 

“Amber?” I still picking up my drink as she calls me, I turn my head and see Krystal standing there

“Krys? What are you doing here?”

“I want to buy a drink, you?”

“Buying a drink too” I said to her and lift up my drink to show her, we both laughing. After we buy our drink we decide to sit at the bench near the vending machine to enjoy our drink.

 

 

 

“Aren’t you are not supposed to be drinking a lot at this time? Since after this is your match, it would be trouble if you want to go pee at the middle of the match” She said to me

“Hahahaha, Min said that too. Don’t worry I’m not drinking much, just a little bit to calm myself down” I said and smiled at her

“Nervous?”

“Yeah, before a big game I always get nervous so bad so I need some time to calming down”

“Did I bother you?”

“No, no, it’s okay” I said “In fact, it’s better since you’re here” I said whispering not loud enough for her to hear me… I think.

“Pardon?” She said looking at me confused

“Nah, nothing” I said grinning at her

“Stupid”

 

 

Next thing she do startled me, she grab my hand, intertwined our hands together, leans her head on my shoulder and her thumbs start caressing my hand gently

 

 

Ba-thump

Ba-thump

Ba-thump

 

 

.. Am I getting heart attack?

 

 

I think she realized too that my body getting stiffened so she kissed my shoulder and continue rubbing my hand with her thumb gently

“Calm down Amber”

 

Hearing that and feeling her touch on me somehow calm me down and I begin to more relax. I squeezed her hand gently before lay me head on her head and whispering to her head  “Thank you princess” then giving her hair a kiss and lay my head there to sniff her hair scent. It’s so good. I think I can get addicted with this. She didn’t say anything and we stay like that for a while. I love this feeling, this feeling when I’m near her, beside her, this simple gesture from her, I love all of this

 

Yes people, I already fall in love with this little Jung and I planned to confess soon but let’s just think about that after the game.

 

 

“I think I need to go now” I said to her, as much as I want to stay like this forever, we still have a match to win of

“Feeling better?” She said titled her head at me

“Yep, thanks princess” I said grinned at her

“Good” She said then she kissed my shoulder and then my cheek

 

 

Ba-thump

Ba-thump

 

I’m gonna die because of heart attack!!!

 

 

I froze for a while before regain my composure and smiled at her, taking her hand and said “Let’s go?” she smile at me “Let’s go”

 

We walk back hand in hand until we arrive at the separated way that lead to the audiences seat and the other way lead to the team’s seats.

 

 

“Well I think we should separate here. Thanks princess” I said to her, running my thumb at her hand before pulling her into a hug, I can feel that Krystal a bit startled with this but then she calming down on my embrace.

“Do well llama, and be careful” She said, hugging me back

“Will do princess” I said to her, her hair and kiss it before inhale her scent, her addicting scent. After that I let go of her and walk backward while still smiling at her, she’s smiling at me too and waving at me, I waved back then continue my walk to my team mate’s seats.

 

 


so what do you think? please do comment guys so i know what you think about this story lol

 

anyway i made some change on the title of every chap, changed it to some kind of date and time. The title means that chapter starts on that date and at that time, well no really a particular reason for that actually, just because i want to lol

 

oh and chapters that have no date and time as their title means that chapter is on a FLASHBACK and since it's on FLASHBACK i won't bother write it with italic words. example : this chapter lol, you ask why? once again just because i want to lol
