Basketball in hand, I looked up at the hoop indignantly. There is stood, proud and aloof. It was clearly stationary, and yet, it was harder to hit than a moving target. I already made ten shots, nine of which were air balls. The other hit the backboard, but after bouncing off, it just hit me on the head....

I guess a basketball is a pretty good weapon to torture yourself with. I'm not one to torture myself, but thinking about the couple hundred yuan reward, I decided to bear it.

The school's basketball club was holding a hoop-shooting competition in a week. They were forming a female team, and first place wins 500 yuan. I'm someone who loves money but has no money. Like a banana tree in the desert needs water, I need money. So for that large sum of money, I gladly signed up.

But now, as I looked toward that grand basketball hoop, I couldn't help feeling discouraged.

Suddenly, a basketball flew past the three-point line, headed straight for the hoop, as if it had a navigator installed in it.

Swish!

Astonished, I turned around to see which passing god came to shame me. But when I saw who it was, my face turned red, my heart thumped, and my adrenaline rushed....

My body reacted the way any infatuated girl's would.

Because right in front of me, there was Kim Taehyung.

Who is Kim Taehyung, you ask? He is the basketball team captain from the school of Chemistry. Tall and handsome, refined and courteous. He is also on the Student Council. Last year, he won the Top Excellence school scholarship....In any case, Kim Taehyung was a person to be infatuated over.

So many reaction was totally normal.

Then I saw the person behind Taehyung----Jeon Jungkook. And I glared at him.

I hated Jungkook. So very much.

There was an increasing number of people coming onto the court, and it was clear there wasn't enough space. Everyone tried to cooperate and share the space, whether they knew each other or not. After all, it wasn't out of the ordinary for several groups to use the court at the same time. Right now, I was lucky enough to be on the court with Kim Taehyung. Unfortunately, Jungkook was also there.

I glared at Jungkook's back, silently telling myself, "Ignite, my little world!"

Then I threw my basketball at him.

Jungkook grabbed the back of his head and turned around. He looked at me, his brows furrowed. I held my hands out in a helpless gesture. With a smile, I excused myself, "Sorry, slipped out of my hand".

And then I picked up the ball and acted like I was about to practice shooting some more. My world started to burn again.

I realized that my skills weren't really that bad. Although I wasn't great at getting the ball in the hoop, I was quite accurate at hitting Jeon Jungkook.

And so, Jungkook's white jersey soon became a patterned jersey.

Taehyung, who'd been focused on practicing, suddenly noticed, and he asked Jungkook curiously, "Jungkook, aren't you usually a near freak? Why are your clothes so dirty?"

Jungkook didn't reply, but instead glanced over at me with a not-quite-smiling expression.

I avoided his gaze guiltily and turned to Taehyung. With a big smile, I said, "Senior Kim hello! I'm Lisa Manoban from the School of Chemistry".

Taehyung chuckled and replied, "Hello. You're a first year, aren't you?"

I nodded as I looked at him with bright eyes.
