Jimin still in shock by what he had just read, secured the small envelope inside his pillow case as well as he could so no one would find it. Especially Yoongi, he was sure that only he would forbid him from going but he wouldn’t reveal the truth about his parents either.
He was sure that his boyfriend always had the best intentions, thinking about him first and not egotistic motives. That overprotective nature, probably was the reason for the too many secrets and the uncertainty. So he had decided silence was the only way for him to find out the things he wanted to. He would go alone, hopeful that answers would come his way.
After hiding it he headed towards Tae, who was sleeping soundly. He pinched his cheeks softly making the sleeping beauty frown and turn to the side. He wrapped himself like a burrito and his friend chuckled at his baby like appearance. Time was passing though and his top priority was getting through those try outs. Then he could worry fully about that poisonous letter. Priorities, he thought and shook Tae with both his hands.
“What???” he said, his voice raspy from a deep sleep.
“Do you want to come to my tryouts or nah?” Jimin asked him and the boy sat up immediately making a ninety-degree angle.
“Of course I will. I got to look out for you with these dogs.” He said.
“It’s going to be fine.” Jimin reassured him.
He wasn’t that sure himself but he confident that if Tae got anxious and worried about him he would find a very animated way to channel that to him too and he could very easily mess up everything on the field. They didn’t talk about this for a long time, since a knock on their door was soon heard and Jimin recognized the casual way Yoongi knocked on the door. It could sound crazy but he could figure out it was him from the rhythm of the knocks and how loud they were. It was the same with how people could recognize the footsteps of a family member in the house.
“Come in”
“Hey. Are you ready? I also brought you some clothes” Yoongi told him and left a soccer uniform in the colors of the White Fangs carefully on the bed, together with a pair of black and neon yellow soccer shoes. They looked a bit scrappy and beaten up but Jimin was thankful that he brought them, they could make playing much easier. “They were mine a few years back. I hope they fit you” he told him and Jimin after wearing the uniform wore them too. They were slightly big but still he was able to run and kick the ball with them. If he made it into the team the first thing, he would do was buy a new pair. Not because he didn’t like the new ones Yoongi gave him, but to him getting his soccer shoes was very fun and exciting.
“Thank you very much” Jimin said with a bright smile on his face. His eyes were gleaming with excitement. He couldn’t really help it, just the thought of getting back to the field, feeling the grass underneath the sole of his shoes, the air hitting his face as he ran, the pressure and the control of the ball made him feel excited after what seemed like a century and he couldn’t stop smiling.
“No problem. Our uniform looks good on you”
“Thanks. Shall we go?”
“Well someone is excited” Tae teased him but Jimin just nodded, carefree. Tae smiled at him and got outside first wanting to give them some space but as he realized he didn’t know the way to the field he coughed and moved to the side for the ****** couple to move ahead.
Yoongi was walking very close to Jimin and their hands touch while they were walking. Jimin’s face had been colored a slight pink tint and with every touch he would slightly flinch. He wanted to hold hands with him but he was actually very shy to do that. So his hesitant eyes would look at their hands, a few inches apart moving as they walked. He would open his palm to grasp his hand and then close it indecisive until he heard a loud sigh from Tae behind them. He grabbed both of their hands, Yoongi’s and his and collided them together.
“You guys almost seem like the stars of a teen movie. He won’t get you pregnant honey hold his hand” he told his best friend and Jimin’s eyes widened in embarrassment at his words.
“I…”
“You can hold my hand whenever you want, kiss me whenever you want and call me whenever you want” Yoongi told him looking straight into Jimin’s eyes. “I’m yours”
“Oh my god.” Tae exclaimed with a frown and an expression of discuss. “Come on now let’s go. Jimin has to be the next ace of your team. Let’s go, let’s go.” He said and pushed both of them to be faster. Yoongi laughed at their childish behavior and willingly led them to the court.
The went around the compound and headed deeper on the back side of the huge building. Jimin was astonished by how big their property was. Yoongi had mentioned that the families lived somewhere else so they’re should be schools and even more houses. This place was like a little city hidden deep in the forest.
They walked for a while, through endless green grass, benches and people laying there enjoying the afternoon warmth, conversing and laughing. Jimin for the first time even saw some kids running around and playing with a ball. The place suddenly seemed a lot livelier and innocent. Probably everything was affected by the Alpha’s presence and threat. Wherever he stood all around him a darkness appeared and this moment did not seem to be polluted by his reign terror.
Once the field came in sight both Tae and he opened their mouths wide in awe. It wasn’t just a simple field it almost looked like a stadium. Jimin was sure it could fit thousands of people. The chairs were panoramically placed, painted black and red, the team’s representative colors and the side walls of the filed had wolves painted on them some in the color black and some red, howling running and fighting with the field in the middle offering good view for all the observers. This place must’ve costed a fortune to build.
In the middle of the field as they entered the stadium, as Jimin had called it on his mind he noticed the team. They had gathered in a circle and talking about something that stopped once they all noticed their leader.Jhope was also there and greeted them happily, waving his hand and running towards Tae. The ginger head though just scoffed with a snobbish look and ran away heading towards the closest seats making the blue eyed boy return defeated and with a pout.
“Hello everyone. As you can all see I am back and I have brought a new possible player with me. This is Jimin, my mate. He was the Lion’s captain and ace player and he is here to try out.”
“What’s happening Yoongi did you bring your sweetheart here because you can’t live without her?” One of the players joked making everyone on the team laughed.
Yoongi seemed displeased with his comment and was ready to reply but this time Jimin was the one to shot fire. He wasn’t going to be belittled, not when it came to soccer.
“No he brought me here, begging me to carry your sorry asses.” He answered him and the unknown guy looked at him with a grin. “You will be judging if you want me on the team, not Yoongi.” He added.
“Well we will see.” The guy who had made fun of him said. “What do you play?”
“I am a forward.”
“Well it’s a good thing that I am the goal keeper. Let me see you trying to score a goal.” He said
“Okay then let’s warm up and have a five vs five” Yoongi told them and they obeyed.
They ran and stretched until their muscles were ready to fight. Jimin was shown his assigned teammates and met all of them, who didn’t seem to hold any hostility towards him. Sure all of them were all about teasing but they weren’t really the scary monsters his previous teammates had actually described.
The enemy goalkeeper was the guy who had made that quirky comment about him and Luke. His boyfriend had decided not to be a part of the match to make everything absolutely fair so he sat together with Tae and observed everything that was going on.
Obviously the enemies had always their eyes on him and he could feel the pressure like a knife on his throat but he loved it. He could turn the tables, he could be in charge and as the ball touched his feet he felt like he could do anything. He was smiling, after everything he was genuinely smiling and that he had everything he wanted.
He ran and passed, skillfully avoided tackles and attempted to score. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to score any points and that was his main problem. That other guy was really good. He could predict every attempt he made to score and always caught the ball, no matter how fast he was.
That could really jeopardize their opinion about his performance and deprive him the so wanted spot, he knew that but he tried to stay calm, he had played well, his performance was good, he repeated again and again in his head. So when the little match was over and he was panting, still worried about that he joined their circle ready to hear their decision.
The whole team seemed to have decided without even talking about it first and he wondered if they had some kind of weird telepathy like in the movies or it was the fact that they were so synchronized and united as a team, things like that were needed.
“Well Jimin…” the goal keeper that shot his dream began talking. “I’m sorry…”
…
Do you think that Jimin got in after not scorring any points? Also I can’t wait for the drama to start. i always love it when things go downhill. (that sounded mean but it’s true)
