By the time it was lunch, the five of them had told the girls about the deal.
They told them how they were called to the principal’s office and the accusations of them beating up Jinhyuk.
The girls were angry at him for doing that but when they they heard the deal, they lit up.
They talked more about how they’ll be able to beat Jinhyuk. Hyunjin kept telling them about how to dodge any pitches thrown at them.
She knew how competitive he would get when they play. He probably is going to play rough and might make his pitcher intentionally hit one of the girls.
They listened and let her talk till lunch ended. Then, they went their separate ways to class.
—————————————————————
The three freshmen were currently in geography class. The class had to do a group project so they were working on that right now.
They pushed their desks together to form a triangle and had papers spread out on them.
“Do you think we’ll be able to have a scrimmage today?” Yerim asks them as she writes down something.
Hyejoo looks up from drawing a map on the construction paper “Well yea because it will help us prepare for tomorrow” She goes back to drawing.
Yerim nods “I just hope no one gets hurt again or we’ll be down a player” She grimices at the thought of someone getting hurt.
“Yea, at least Chaewon unnie is much better now and she’ll be able to play tomorrow” Yeojin answers after she glues down a picture of a flag onto the construction paper.
The other two nod and continue to work on the project. Yerim looks up and wears a teasing smile as she turns to Hyejoo.
“So when are going to ask out Chaewon unnie, Joo Joo?”
Hyejoo makes a mistake on the picture she’s drawing and stops moving. Yeojin looks at her and laughs at her reaction.
She looks up and blushes at what the older said. Yerim giggles and smiles.
“I don’t know but what if she doesn’t like me? I mean she hasn’t shown any interest in me” She tells them but Yeojin shakes her head.
“Bullshit, she totally likes you dude. Have you seen the way she looks at you? And if she didn’t like you, she wouldn’t have let you help her and I mean it”
Yerim agrees with her small friend and they look at Hyejoo. She’s thinking about what she said and nods.
“Yea you’re right but I’ll probably ask her out after the game so we’ll be able to have time to hang out” She answers and smiles with a small blush.
“Aye get it Joo unnie!”
“Go get your girl Joo Joo”
Yerim and Yeojin tell her trying to encourage her. Hyejoo just shakes her head with a smile.
“I will get my girl don’t worry but Yeojin remember what I told you” She looks at the younger with a pointed look.
Yeojin is confused till she remembers what the taller is talking about. She blushes and glares at her to keep quiet.
“What did you tell her? Is it about Chaewon unnie?” Yerim asks innocently as she looks back and forth at her friends.
The youngest just laughs it off and sheepishly smiles. Hyejoo smirks as she’s trying to form a sentence.
“Y-yea its about C-chaewon unnie but you’ll find out later don’t worry” She gives an eye smile to Yerim hoping to convince her to drop it.
Yerim stares at her and blinks “Okay I’ll wait for whatever it is you’re talking about” She smiles and goes back to writing.
Yeojin releases a breath and secretly kicks Hyejoo in the shin. The taller doesn’t wince but just silently laughs at her.
They go back to working on their project and sometimes talk about something else.
—————————————————————
Jungeun and Jiwoo were currently in their physics class doing an experiment.
They were lab partners so Jiwoo was messing around while Jungeun did most of the work.
“What do you think I should do about my feelings for Sooyoung unnie?” The redhead asks as her friend pours a liquid into a beaker.
They had on goggles and aprons on to do the experiment. The blonde silently curses at Jiwoo for almost spilling the liquid.
She sighs and puts down the cup “I think you should tell her how you feel and see if she feels the same. And if she doesn’t then you can still be friends”
The redhead looks at her friend and thinks about it. The teacher was walking around to see how the students were doing.
“Kims, you better not be hanging around and better be doing the experiment or you both will have to sit down”
The teacher scolded them when she saw them talking instead of working. The two just bowes their heads and apologized.
Once she left, Jiwoo started working and helping Jungeun.
“You know Jungie, if I confess to Sooyoung unnie then that means you’re going to have to confess to Jinsoul unnie too, right?” She tells her friend.
Jungeun stops midway in pouring water into the weird liquid. She puts down the cup blushing and looks at Jiwoo.
“What are you talking about Wooming? I don’t have feelings for Jinsoul unnie” She nervously laughs and Jiwoo just blankly stares at her.
Jungeun sighs “Fine I do but I can’t tell her because she doesn’t even like me”
Jiwoo moves her neck in a weird way to look at the blonde. She scoffs and rolls her eyes.
“Are you kidding me? She likes you the way you like her. I’ve seen the way she looks at you when we’re together. If she didn’t like you, then why did she skip school to bring you medicine and food when you were sick? Trust me Jungie, she likes you”
The redhead finishes explaining to her friend. Jungeun sighs and grabs the cup to continue pouring the water.
Jiwoo watches as she nods and puts down the cup to grab a cylinder. Jungeun turns and looks at her.
“You’re right about her coming over. She brought me medicine and cooked soup for me as we watched a movie. Jiwoo, she’s just so sweet with me and is very patient with everything and me when I was sick” She tells the other girl about the senior.
Jiwoo smiles at how happy her best friend talks about Jinsoul. Jungeun has a blush on her cheeks as she finishes talking.
“See Jungie, she totally likes you. Look, how about we both confess to our crushes after the game that way we can have a double date?” Jiwoo suggests to Jungeun as they continue working.
The blonde thinks about it and nods “Okay, thats good idea since they’ll probably tease each other about it”
They chuckle at the thought of the two seniors teasing each other before they start to wrestle each other.
The juniors keep working on the experiment as the teacher passes by again. They hope the experiment is somewhat a good grade.
—————————————————————
As school finishes, the girls head to the park for practice. The game was tomorrow and they were a little nervous.
The coaches arrived a few minutes after they did and exchange a few greetings. Like usual, the girls put down their bags on the bench in the dug out and pull out their equipment.
First, the infielders practice with Choi while the outfielders work with Lee. Heejin and Jiwoo go with Son into the bullpen.
They worked on their defensive positions much harder than normal.
Then, the girls move along with Jung to work on hitting while the pitchers stay with Son. Hunjoon made the girls work harder on their offensive approach.
Son kept making the two throw their least effective pitch. That way the pitch will work during the game.
Hunjoon announced that they will scrimmage one last time. The girls were confident in their skills right now and can’t wait to show them off tomorrow.
Starting off to bat is Jinsoul as Chaewon takes third base. Yeojin takes second base as Vivi sits out since she’s batting second.
As the senior comes up to the plate, Jiwoo waits for her sign. She receives her sign and nods at their catcher.
The blue haired sets up and waits for her pitch. The redhead lets out a small grunt as she throws a slider.
Jinsoul manages to foul it off after swinging at it. She watches where the ball lands and steps back to fix her helmet.
Hyunjin was tossed a ball by her dad and threw it to Jiwoo. The senior steps back into the box and sets up. Jiwoo is signed a fastball down and she nods.
The pitch is thrown and the rotation on it is fast. Jinsoul waits for it to get closer and gives a swing at it. She drops the bat and quickly runs to first.
Chaewon sees the ball coming to her which makes her run up to it. She bare hands it to first where Jungeun is ready to glove the ball.
As Jungeun quickly gloves it, Jinsoul steps on the base and stops running. She sighs and takes off her helmet as she is thrown out.
“Damn it” She whispers and walks back to the dugout. The girls toss around the ball before throwing it to Jiwoo.
Vivi comes out with her batting gear on and steps up to the plate. Hyunjin crouches and waits for Vivi to step into the box to sign Jiwoo a pitch.
The pitch signed is a curve ball and Jiwoo gives her wind up. She releases her pitch which makes Vivi give a swing at it and miss.
“Fuck” The senior whispers at herself seeing she missed. She tightens her gloves and fixes her helmet.
The next pitch is the same and it causes for Vivi to swing and miss it again. The senior just sighs and shakes her head.
Hyunjin notices her getting frustrated so she signs Jiwoo a fastball to see if Vivi can hit it. The junior nods before throwing the pitch.
Vivi watches the pitch approach the plate and gives a big swing at it. But the ball ends up in Hyunjin’s glove as Vivi looks at it.
Her swing was late which caused for her to miss. She holds her bat by the barrel in her right hand as she walks off.
She was mad at herself for not swinging on time. Hyunjin was surprised to see her miss the ball but didn’t say anything.
The scrimmage continued on as Jiwoo strikes them out or they hit a ground ball or a fly ball as an easy out. Heejin then comes in and she gives up a base hit to Sooyoung who’s on first.
Yeojin is now up to bat, she had struck out every time it was her turn. So she was frustrated right now and the girls can tell as she wasn’t talking much.
With Sooyoung on base, she hopes to move her to third with a base hit. Waiting for her pitch, Yeojin mentally tells herself to hit the ball.
Heejin throws a cutter to the right which Yeojin takes for a strike. The freshman quickly fixes her glove then steps back in.
Hyunjin signs the older a curve ball to the middle. As she throws the pitch, Yeojin got distracted with Sooyoung moving around and the ball went pass her into Hyunjin’s glove.
“Fucking shit” She tells herself as she steps back to do a practice swing. Mentally scolding herself, she silently curses at Sooyoung for distracting her.
Heejin watches as Yeojin steps back in and waits for her sign. She nods at the younger in acknowledgement and gets ready.
She throws a splitter up and away which makes the ball split to the middle. Yeojin waits for it to get closer to give a big swing at it.
She swings on time but her bat was a little too high from the ball and it makes her miss. Hyunjin gloves it and stands up to toss it back to Heejin.
“Oh for fucks sake! Why can’t I hit one fucking pitch! Damn it!”
Yeojin yells out as she slams her bat onto the ground three times. She then walks off into the dugout still cursing and throws her bat to the ground.
The girls watch her as she forcefully takes off her helmet to throw it onto the bench. She then rips off her gloves, shin guard and elbow guard as she’s talking to herself.
“Why didn’t you move the bat? Stupid, why didn’t you foul it off?” Yeojin scolds herself and sighs before she stays standing up with her hands on her hips.
Even the coaches were watching her and didn’t want to approach her. The youngest sighs then proceeds to sit down with her head in her hands.
The girls had a frown on their faces but let her calm down. Hyunjin knew that Heejin didn’t mean to strike her out so she approached her.
“Hey she’s fine its not your fault okay?” She had took off her mask to talk to the older better.
Heejin nods “Yea I know but I just hate when she gets mad at herself” They both agree with that so Hyunjin pats her shoulder then walks back to her position.
The coaches tell them to continue playing and letting Yeojin calm down. Chaewon was up to bat as she walked up.
They continued in playing as the sun sets behind them. Yeojin had calmed down already but she still wasn’t talking which scared the girls.
Hunjoon gathered them into a circle on the mound.
“Great scrimmage guys. Tomorrow is the game and you girls are ready trust me. Your skills have improved since day one and everyone learned how to play. We are very proud of you girls so we believe that you will win, understand?”
The girls nod with smiles on their faces. They were happy to hear Hunjoon tell them that their skills have improved. It boosted their confidence as they were ready for tomorrow.
The coaches proceeded to also tell them how proud they are before they leave. The girls put up their equipment into their bags and walk off to the cars.
They went home to get some rest and to mentally prepare themselves for the game tomorrow.
The girls fell asleep with one thought in mind: ‘we are going to win’
