Lunch had passed already and the girls were in their last class right now. They were waiting for the bell to ring already so they can meet up at the parking lot.
Their bags were in the cars so they would go grab them and wait for the coaches to arrive before going to the baseball field/stadium.
Some students were heard talking about the game today. There were bets going on about who’s going to win. Even some teachers were putting in bets on the winner.
Some of the girls were nervous since they were going to ask out their crushes the next day. Its like all of them had the same idea in mind.
—————————————————————
As they all sat in their classes, Hunjoon and the other guys were seen arriving. They pulled up into the parking lot in front of the stadium.
They had gotten out of early and decided to just come to the school already. Hyunjin didn’t know that her dad had gotten out early. As they got out, Hunjoon spotted the school baseball coach on the field.
“Yo, the coach is right there c’mon” He told them and they nodded.
Hunjoon wanted to have a talk with him to see if Jinhyuk’s coach knew that he was hitting girls. The coach hasn’t noticed them approaching him yet.
They walk through the side gate to get in then walk to the home dugout where the coach was standing at.
He had on a black long sleeve compression shirt on with the school name on it. A pair of gray training pants and a black hat that has the school mascot on the front.
“Excuse me?”
The coach looks up from his clipboard to find five middle aged men staring at him. He didn’t knew who they were but the one in the middle looked familiar.
“Yes can I help you?” He asks with his eyebrows furrowed.
Hunjoon speaks up “Yea hi I’m Kim Hunjoon and these are Lee Taejoo, Choi Kangmin, Son Byunmin and Jung Gunwoo”
The coach nods “I’m Lim Seungmin” He answers and waits for Hunjoon to continue.
“We are the coaches for Hyunjin’s team and I just wanted to ask if you knew about what Jinhyuk and his buddies have been doing?” He finishes.
Seungmin looks confused as he tries to think about what he’s talking about.
“No I don’t know. Would you mind telling me?”
Lee decides to speak up “He and his buddies have been beating up our players since last week. He hurt one of the girls badly that she couldn’t move her torso well enough. Jinhyuk would beat them up just because the girls stood up to him when he talked bad about their friends”
Lee finishes and looks at the coach. Seungmin was shocked to hear his star player beating up people and especially women. He sighs knowing that Jinhyuk was a troublemaker but he didn’t think he would take it that far.
“I am so sorry about his behavior. I knew he would cause trouble but I never knew he would do something like that. Did any of the girls report him to the principal?”
“Apparently, Jinhyuk reported to the principal that the girls were the ones who hurt him. But they cleared it up with Principal Kim and she said she would suspend him” Choi tells Seungmin.
He nods “Wait if he’s suspended, then why is he still going to school?”Â
Hunjoon remembered what the girls told him “The principal offered up a deal. She said if Jinhyuk won, then he won’t be suspended. But if Hyunjin won, then he would be suspended for a month and they agreed to it”
Seungmin nods while thinking about said deal. Then, the other coaches from the school walk out to see them talking.
He tells them to wait “Alright well I guess that works. It seems like the whole school really wants to see them play against each other again. I apologize again for his actions and I’ll make sure that he doesn’t do anything that will hurt your players during the game” He explains to them.
The guys nod as they finish talking. They then walk off to the visitor dugout to set up their stuff. They were glad that the coach didn’t take it the wrong way.
“Yo Kim, do you have the lineup drawn up already?” Jung asks the younger as he takes out the extra bats. Since they were using wooden bats, they can easily break if the ball hits a specific area.
“Oh no I haven’t. I wanted all of us to write it so we can see which order they bat” Hunjoon tells him and pulls out his clipboard.
They nod and walk up to him as he shows the clipboard to them. He took out a pen from his pocket and wrote down ‘starting lineup’ on top of the paper.
“Alright who should start off? It would be easy for Chaewon to start but let’s do something different” He says.
“What if Sooyoung starts then we go to Chaewon to Yerim?” Choi suggested as he looks at Hunjoon.
He nods as well as the other guys and he writes it down. They continue writing down the lineup and they finish a few minutes later.
They looked at the paper and nodded as they have their starting lineup.
Lineup
Sooyoung LF
Chaewon DH
Yerim CF
Hyunjin C
Hyejoo RF
Jinsoul 3B
Vivi 2B
Jungeun 1B
Haseul SS
Jiwoo SP
Their positions were written next to their name. Chaewon was the designated hitter but would play third base if Jinsoul got hurt. Yeojin wouldn’t play unless either Vivi or Haseul get hurt. Jiwoo would be the starting pitcher and Heejin as the closer.
As they chilled around the dugout, they heard the bell ring which meant school was over. So they sat there waiting for the girls.
—————————————————————
Once the bell rang, the students immediately flooded the hallways to leave. It was currently 2:50 pm and the game would start around 4:30 pm. Which meant they only had an hour and forty minutes to prepare.
The seniors were already waiting at their cars for the other girls. Their classes were next to the exit, so they quickly walked out when the bell rang.
Sooyoung opened her trunk to grab her bag as Haseul opened her back door to put up her backpack. Jinsoul was sitting inside her car on her phone.
Then the girls were seen walking towards them. So Jinsoul pressed a button that opened her trunk. She then got out to lift the top of the trunk.
“Hey guys! What’s up?” Yeojin asked them as she took off her backpack and tosses it into the back seat of Haseul’s car.
They greet her back as all of them put up their backpacks and grab their other bags. The bag had their gear and equipment in it as well as their uniform to play in.
“Hyunjin, is your dad here yet or the other coaches?” Vivi asks the sophomore after she grabbed her bag.
She looks at her phone to see a text from Hunjoon saying their here already “Yea, he said they’re at the field right now”
The girls nod as they finish grabbing their things. The three seniors close their trunks once everyone grabs their bags.
“Let’s go” Haseul tells them, so they walk off towards the stadium.
Their school had two stadiums on the sides for home games. They had a soccer stadium and a baseball stadium. Those two sports were more popular in their school and city.
Walking up, they saw their coaches chilling in the visitor dugout. So they entered through the side gate and approach them.
“Hey dad!” Hyunjin yells as she gets closer. He looks up to see the girls walking up.
“Hey sweetie, how are you? Hey girls, how’s it going?” Hunjoon asks her and gives her a hug when she enters the dugout.
They greet each other once entering and set their stuff down. The girls open up their bags to take out their gear and equipment to have it set up already.
After they set up their stuff, Hunjoon called for them. They walked up to him as he held a clipboard.
“Here’s the starting lineup. I want you girls to remember the order of when you bat that way you don’t have to keep looking at the paper” He tells them and they nod in acknowledgement.
He shows them the lineup and tells them why he put them in that specific order. The girls agree with the order and memorize the lineup.
Then, Hunjoon tells them go change into their practice uniform. They nod and grab their bags. Hyunjin leads them down into the locker room.
The stadium made the dugouts be connected to the locker room for easy access. So they just walked down the stairs from the side and walked out into the locker room.
In the middle, there were the open lockers with a chair in front. You could hang up your uniform and have your own place to put your stuff. Hyunjin tells them to pick a locker and set their stuff down.
They all pick their own to drop their bags. The girls grab their practice shirts and pants before hanging up their full uniform on the hanger. Some of them take off their shoes to wear their slides.
They then walk down the hallway to where the restrooms were. There were stalls on one side and showers on the other. So it was kind of big and it was also very clean.
The girls were in awe at how big the locker room was. They went to go put on their practice uniform and to also use the restroom. Once they finished, the girls walked back to put on their cleats.
Yerim, Sooyoung, Jinsoul and Vivi all wear a wristband on their left forearm in their respective colors. Hyejoo and Haseul both wear a compression sleeve on their right arm in their respective colors to help them throw the ball.
Jungeun, Chaewon and Hyunjin wrap both of their wrists with athletic tape in their respective colors so it doesn’t hurt when they catch a ball. Yeojin wraps her right hand with orange athletic tape since her hand was hurting earlier.
Both Heejin and Jiwoo don’t wear anything that can help them since most pitchers don’t use a lot of stuff. Although, they both will wear a long sleeve compression shirt when they actually play.
After getting changed, they walk back out into the dugout. The coaches tell them to grab their fielding gear. Heejin and Jiwoo walk with Son to the bullpen. The rest go out onto the field to practice.
—————————————————————
The girls were practicing on half of the field while the other half was being used by Jinhyuk’s team. There a few glares thrown around but nothing else happened.
Hunjoon watched as the girls were practicing well and hard. He can tell they want to win this and he knows they will. The other guys also see how they’re practicing and they were proud of them.
While they were practicing, Hyungwon enters the dugout through the front. He walks up to his dad.
“Hey dad, how’s it going?” Hunjoon turns around surprised.
“What the? What are you doing here so early? I thought you were coming later?”
Hyungwon shrugs and watches the girls practice “I decided to come earlier to see how they practice. I also brought the stuff, they’re in the back of my truck”
The older nods as he watches the girls. Hunjoon had asked Hyungwon to bring jugs of water and Gatorade for the girls to drink. And he also brought bags of sunflower seeds and a bucket of chewing gum.
Hyungwon was supposed to come thirty minutes before the game starts but he came earlier to watch the girls practice.
He left to grab the stuff he brought with Jung’s help. Hunjoon looks at his watch to see there’s an hour left before the game starts.
He gathers them so they can get to batting practice. The other team had set up the batting cage for both teams to use. The girls go into the dugout to put on their batting gear.
They had to wait for the other team to finish before they can use the cage. As they sat in the dugout waiting, Hyungwon popped up carrying a orange water cooler in his arms with a bucket of gum on top. Then Jung shows up with another one as well.
They set them down on the bench in the back of the dugout. Jung set down a bag of small plastic cups right next to them. And Hyungwon pulls out the different bags of sunflower seeds from his backpack.
Hyunjin gave her brother a hug when she saw him. He greeted the girls and introduced himself since he never met any of them except for Chaewon.
“So I brought some beverages for everyone in case y’all get thirsty. And I also brought seeds and gum for you girls to chew on. Its supposed to help you concentrate” He explains to them and they nod.
The coach from the other team walks up to their dugout “Excuse me, you girls can now use the cage” He smiles at them.
“Alright thanks” Hunjoon answers and gestures for the girls to get up.
“Oh wait, I would like to apologize to you girls about Jinhyuk’s behavior. I never knew he would do something like and especially to women. I will make sure he doesn’t play rough okay?” Seungmin tells the girls. He had been waiting to apologize to them about what Jinhyuk did.
The girls were shocked at how he knew about the beatings. They thought the coach knew and didn’t do anything.
Hyunjin nods “Thank you and its alright, you didn’t know. We appreciate you apologizing on his behalf” She smiles at him and the girls agree.
Seungmin nods then walks off. The girls walk out and head to the cage. Son told Heejin and Jiwoo to sit down and rest their arms.
The girls started batting practice with Jung pitching them some balls. They were being watched by the other team and Jinhyuk clenched his jaw.
He could see how well the girls are when they were practicing. And now he thinks he’s probably going to have to play more rough than intended so. Jinhyuk wants to make sure he doesn’t lose against Hyunjin again.
—————————————————————
The girls soon finish practice and head to the dugout. They were chilling as they either were on their phone or talking to each other.
Hyunjin was sitting next to her brother and dad. They talked to each other before Yeojin called for Hyunjin.
There were 30 minutes left for the game to start. Students can be seen entering the gate and buying things at the concession stands. It was free entry for students but adults had to pay.
Hunjoon told the girls to go and change into their uniforms. They nod and walk downstairs into the locker room. They grabbed their uniforms by the hanger and go change.
Once finished, they walk out and go put on any accessories needed. They also fix their uniforms and socialize.
“Aye, where’s my tape?!”
“Jinsoul, you’re sitting on my sock!”
“Jiwoo, give me back my belt!”
“Stop stepping on my hat, Hyunjin!”
There were yells heard as they changed. It was a mess but Haseul manages to calm them down. They were all changed and sitting down in front of their locker.
Yeojin, Jinsoul, Sooyoung, Hyejoo, Hyunjin, Haseul and Chaewon had their pants rolled up to their knees, so their socks show. Jungeun, Jiwoo, Heejin, Vivi and Yerim all had their pants right at their cleats.
The pitchers were wearing a long sleeve compression shirt to help pitch smoother. Jinsoul, Sooyoung and Yeojin were wearing a long sleeve turtleneck undershirt. The rest of the girls were wearing a sleeveless undershirt.
Their jerseys were tucked into their pants to look uniformed. They grabbed their hats and head back into the dugout when Hunjoon called them.
“Alright, we have 10 minutes left till game time. Go play out there and have some fun. We are proud of you girls and I am sure that you are going to win. And remember, play like how you play when we scrimmage” Hunjoon smiles at them once he finishes.
The girls smile at him and thank him before thanking the coaches. They were content with how the guys treated them as their own daughters. They were like family since day one and they hoped nothing changes.
Hyunjin looks at them and smiles. Who would’ve thought that a baseball game would give her another family. She’s grateful for everyone.
They sit or stand and wait for the announcer to call them out to the field. They were nervous but ready for this.
The stands were filled with students and staff from their school. There were also other people from different schools in the area. Who knew that one game between girls and boys was something to see?
Since they were the visitors, they had to bat first. So Sooyoung put on her batting gear and stood off to the side with Chaewon who also has her gear on.
“Good evening everybody! My name is Key and I’ll be your announcer for tonight! Now for what everyone’s been waiting for….please welcome your BBC WOLVES!” Key yelled into the mic as the guys ran onto the field.
There were cheers coming from around the stadium. Jinhyuk’s team were tossing around a ball as they got ready to play defense.
“Now please welcome your VISITING BBC WOLVES!” Key finishes yelling and there were an eruption of cheers.
The girls were shocked at how more people cheered for them then the guys. Well most of the women shouted for them since there hot so.
Sooyoung walked out and heads towards the plate. Chaewon walks out to stand on the side to wait her turn.
Hyunjin was sitting beside her brother and inhales. She was nervous but they were prepared to win.
Sooyoung stepped up after doing a practice swing. She got into her stance as she watches the pitcher.
The girls were ready for this and they know they’re going to win.
