Sunday came quicker than the girls expected it. Since practice started an hour earlier, they decided to head over to Hyunjin’s house to hang out before practice.
She told them about the baseball game she has and they wanted to play it.
There were in her living room sitting on the couch with the tv screen showing the game.
Hyunjin was teaching them how to play except for the ones who already know how to.
Some were still a little confused but as soon as they started playing, it got easier. The teams were split up by unnies versus maknaes.
The unnie line chose the Yankees as their team. And the maknaes chose the Blue Jays as their team.
It started off really well with the score being 1-1 in the third inning. Then it turned into a big mess that Haseul couldn’t stop because she was part of that mess.
“What the fuck Yeojin?! You can’t do that!”
“I can do whatever I want hag!”
“Hyejoo do not catch my home run! Fucking shit!”
“I was fucking safe Chaewon! You didn’t tag me out!”
There was screaming and they were going back to back on the score. If someone leads then the others tie it.
Vivi was also yelling Heejin for striking her out. Everyone was at least screaming at someone for something.
The game didn’t finish till the 12th inning with the unnie line getting a walk off base hit. The score was 10-9 at the end.
Yeojin screamed at Hyunjin for not getting the ball and tried to jump her.
Hyejoo held her back and the unnies were cheering and teasing the maknaes for losing.
“Nah I want a rematch. That game was bullshit” Chaewon told them and the others nod.
“Yea I want rematch because there were a lot of mistakes against y’all but they didn’t count it” Yerim pouted and Yeojin just clings onto her.
They roll their eyes and sigh “Fine we’ll have rematch” Jungeun answers.
Bad idea. The same thing happened and this time the unnie line loses to them.
Yerim hit a walk off 2-run home run which made them win 8-6 in the end.
Jiwoo was being scolded by Jungeun for giving away a home run. Sooyoung and Haseul were wrestling on the floor because the taller had a chance to grab the ball before it went into the seats.
The maknaes were cheering and hi fiving each other. Heejin laughs at the two seniors fighting on the carpet.
“You had a chance to grab the ball dumb ass!”
“I’m sorry! Its over already let me go!”
Jinsoul pulls Haseul off of her and Sooyoung crawls to Jiwoo as soon as Haseul was pulled off.
Jiwoo just giggles and comforts the senior in her arms. They both felt their hearts beating faster than normal when their skins touch.
Vivi calms Haseul down before she can jump her again. They all calmed down soon enough and decided to just watch a movie before leaving.
It was calm as they finished the movie with no yells or fights. Time passed quickly and it was already time to for practice.
They cleaned up after themselves before leaving the house. Hyunjin made sure the door was locked and got in the car.
Arriving to practice on time, the coaches were already there as they talked against Hunjoon’s car.
The guys greeted them and Hunjoon opened the trunk of the car. Jung helped him take out a cardboard box, the same one as the day before.
He opened it and the girls came over in curiosity. He pulled out a power blue helmet with the school logo on the front.
Their jaws drop as Jung passed around the helmets to the right person. Hunjoon then pulled out a plastic bag that contained power blue colored hats.
He pulled out hats and also passed it around. Their school logo was printed on the front and the girls couldn’t contain their excitement.
“Wow these are really cool! Thank you!”
“Thanks Hunjoon!”
They thanked him as well as the other coaches.
“Its nothing really. Hope you girls like it for the game” They nodded at his statement.
Hyunjin kept thinking about how her dad and the guys were going all out for one game. The game was supposed to take place on Wednesday at their school baseball field. That’s when she had a feeling that they will surely win.
—————————————————————-
About a few minutes later, Hunjoon told them to head to the field for practice. They walked to the dugout to put down their bags and grab their equipment.
Son called for Heejin, Jiwoo and Hyunjin to the bullpen to go over some pitches. Choi and Lee called for the other girls to practice their defensive positions.
Hunjoon and Jung stood off to the side and watched the girls practice for a few before they do a scrimmage.
Sometimes Yeojin would mess with Vivi by fake throwing her the ball when she throws it to Jungeun. Hyejoo would pretend to not see the ball which makes Sooyoung look up to find it when Hyejoo actually catches it.
Heejin and Jiwoo were doing well as Hyunjin helped with giving them good pitches to throw. The other girls were also doing well on the infield and outfield.
An hour later, Hunjoon called for the girls to come and work on their hitting. They went to grab their bats and put on their batting gear. They grabbed the new helmets to wear.
Jung walked up to the mound with a bucket of baseballs. He called for Yerim to bat first and she walked up to the plate.
They were doing better at hitting pitches more in the zone. Hyunjin was called over by her dad to go hit with the girls.
Son became the catcher for Jiwoo and Heejin. They were pitching well and waited to play in the scrimmage.
It has been about thirty minutes since they’ve been hitting and they took a small break. Son told the two girls to head over to the field as Hunjoon called for them.
“Now that you girls have had time to practice and warm up, why don’t we scrimmage today?” He asked and the girls lit up. Ever since the first scrimmage, they’ve liked to play against each other.
—————————————————————-
Smiling, Hunjoon tells them the batting order and that Jiwoo will pitch first. Nodding, the girls walked off to their defensive positions to toss around a ball.
Chaewon went to put on her batting gear since she’s batting first. Hyunjin put on her catcher’s gear and helped Jiwoo warm up although she doesn’t need it.
The coaches gave them a signal to start and Chaewon walked up to the plate. She gets into her batting stance and watches Jiwoo nod at Hyunjin.
Jiwoo releases the pitch late and it cause for Chaewon to swing and foul it off. Lee tosses Hyunjin a ball to toss back to Jiwoo.
The second pitch thrown by the junior is off the plate as a ball. The sophomore spots the ball the third pitch going down the zone and swings a little too hard.
It causes for her right leg to twist in a odd way and she feels her hamstring tighten. She hisses in pain and jumps out of the batter’s box. Everyone looks at her with a worried expression as she’s bent over with her hands on her knees.
Hyunjin gets up and approaches her friend “Hey you okay there Wonie?” She lays a hand on her back.
The coaches walk up to them as well as the other girls. Chaewon straightens up as everyone walks over.
“Where does it hurt? You swung pretty hard back there so you probably pulled something” Lee tells her and she points to the back of thigh.
Hyunjin grabs onto her so she doesn’t fall over and she leans into her. Lee looks to where she points “Its probably your hamstring that was pulled but we don’t know for sure”
Hyejoo walks around them and stands next to the shorter. She grabs her hand and Chaewon interlaced their fingers.
“Can you try to walk so we can see if you need to sit out or not?” Hunjoon tells her.
She seems hesitant to walk but Hyejoo squeezes her hand as if saying she’s got her. Hyunjin let’s go of her and she steps with her left leg well till she slumps over in pain when she steps with her right.
“Ahh! It hurts to walk on it” Hyejoo holds her up with a worried expression. The girls were concerned for her well being.
The coaches sigh knowing that they might be a player down. Chaewon seems to notice their expressions and she stood up.
She smiles “I’ll be okay I can still play. I can just ice it when I get home” Everyone looks at her furrowed brows and Hyejoo shakes her head.
“But you’re clearly in pain so you should sit out” She doesn’t want the older to get hurt more.
“Yea Chaewon she’s right you’re going to have to sit out. I’m sorry” Choi tells her and she sighs. Nodding, Hyejoo helps her walk to the dugout so she can rest.
Lee follows after her so he can get her some ice for her thigh. Hyejoo doesn’t want to leave her alone but she has to go play.
Hunjoon sighs and looks at Hyunjin “Lee will take care of her for now but we don’t know if she’ll be able to play. For right now, Jinsoul you won’t be able to bat since no one else is third base. I’m sorry” He looks at the senior with an apologetic look.
“Its fine, I’d rather her be okay than be concerned about hitting right now” She smiles at him.
He calls for everyone to go back as it was Yeojin’s turn to bat. She goes and puts on her batting gear. Heejin sits next to Chaewon and watches as Lee wraps a bag of ice around her thigh.
Yeojin steps into the batter’s box and gets ready. Jiwoo waits then releases the ball early as the freshman doesn’t swing. Its a strike.
She then foul tips the next two pitches off and waits for the fourth one. Jiwoo winds up and gives her slider up and away.
Yeojin’s eyes light up seeing the pitch and she gives a big swing. The sound of her bat connecting with the ball resonates through the air.
Everyone follows the ball with their eyes as it soars in the air heading to the outfield. Sooyoung runs after it keeping her eye on it and Yeojin is running to first watching it.
The ball lands over the fence as Sooyoung watches it since she didn’t have anymore room to run. Hyejoo was behind her and also stops after seeing the ball land.
The coaches cheer as the younger runs around the bases.
“Woohoo! Fuck yea!” She yells and gives Jung a hi five as she rounds third. She touches home plate and Hyunjin was happy for Yeojin.
“Good job bro. That was nice swing” She gives her a hi five as everyone comes over to congratulate her.
Yerim runs over and gives her a big hug “Congratulations on your first home run Yeojinie!” She smiles brightly at her small friend. The younger smiles at her and blushes a little.
“Thanks Yerimie and everyone”
“Congrats Lil Yeo Yeo!” She hears Chaewon yell at her from the dugout so she smiles widely at her.
Jiwoo was happy for her and not mad for giving up a home run. They returned to their places and continued on with Haseul coming up to bat.
The game went on with some girls getting base hits and Jiwoo getting strikeouts. Chaewon was sitting in the dugout watching them with her right leg on the bench.
It doesn’t hurt anymore but she has to stay off of it for a little longer.
Then something happened. Heejin was pitching this time with Hyunjin at the plate. Son was playing catcher for now and Haseul was on first after she got a hit.
Heejin winds up and throws Hyunjin a curveball down the middle. She swings at it and hits the ball towards the right.
It was line drive headed towards the outfield but the ball manages to hit Haseul when she was about to run.
It hits her helmet and the bridge of her nose as she falls down holding her face. The helmet gets knocked off and everyone gasp at the scene.
Vivi runs over to her “Oh my god Seulie are you okay?!” She places her hand on her stomach and tries to see the wound.
The coaches run over with the girls. Haseul laid down on her back still holding onto her face. Hyunjin crouches next to her frowning.
“I am so sorry Haseul unnie. I didn’t mean to hit you in the face” She felt like crying knowing it was her fault.
Heejin laid a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. Haseul hisses in pain and removes her hand to show her nose bleeding and a bruise where the ball hit.
Choi immediately grabs the girl to sit her up seeing she was bleeding.
“Okay you’re bleeding from your nose and there’s a bruise on the side of your forehead. Here use the tissue to stop the bleeding” Lee hands her a tissue.
He had quickly grabbed the first aid kit seeing the girl on the ground and ran to help her.
She puts the tissue on her nose wincing a little. Then Lee tries to put on some cream for the bruise but she flinches away.
“I’m sorry but this will help so the bruise doesn’t swell. I’ll be gentle, promise” She nods and leans back in. He was gentle with his touch as he finished.
Hyunjin was on the brink of tears seeing her unnie hurt because of her. She stood up and hugged Heejin for comfort.
The older was surprised but she hugged her back while rubbing her hand on her back.
The other girls noticed how the catcher was sorry but they knew it wasn’t her fault. No one knows where the ball will go once its hit.
Choi and Vivi help the senior to stand up and she leans against Vivi.
Hunjoon was feeling bad seeing all the injuries happen. He looks at his daughter and frowns.
“This isn’t your fault Hyunjin so stop blaming yourself. The ball has a mind of its own so you didn’t know” He tells her and she nods but stays in Heejin’s arms.
Haseul notices how the catcher wants to cry and she approaches her. Hyunjin leaves the warm arms of Heejin and turns around.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hit towards you” She apologizes again and Haseul shakes her head.
She lays a hand on her shoulder “Its not your fault Hyunjin. No one knows where the ball is going once hit. I’m okay don’t worry” She smiles at her with the tissue in her nose.
The sophomore nods her head smiling also.
“Are you going to be able to continue or do you wanna sit out? Your choice” Hunjoon asks her.
Haseul looks at Vivi’s worried expression and smiles at her. The older smiles back with a small blush on her cheeks.
Looking back at Hunjoon “I’ll be fine to continue. I can just keep the tissue in till I stop bleeding. I’m alright” He nods at her and the other girls give her pats in the back.
They walk off to where they were at and Hyunjin was going to bat again. Vivi gives her a hug “I’m glad you’re okay but if you need to sit out, you can”
Haseul smiles at her releasing the hug and nods her head before the older goes to second.
They resume playing with no more injuries happening. Haseul had stopped bleeding ten minutes later so she took out the tissue.
—————————————————————-
The scrimmage finished with a score of 1-0 since Yeojin made a home run. They were going against the pitchers and they lost because the other girls managed to score.
Hunjoon talked to them about how they’re improving well and fast. He dismissed them to go home but he checked up on Haseul and Chaewon.
Haseul was fine with a small bruise and she knows what to do if her nose bleeds again.
Chaewon said she felt much better and Lee told her to stay off of her leg for the whole day to see if she can still play.
It meant that she’ll need help to walk around school and Hyejoo volunteers to take care of her.
The shorter blushes at the thought of the taller taking care of her. She helps her to the car by carrying her bag and holding onto her as she walks.
Jinsoul gave Chaewon a ride home so she and Hyejoo help her into the house and explain to her parents what happened.
They left after telling her that they’ll be here tomorrow morning to help her.
And just like that the day ends with some weird and surprising event happening during the day.
