Volleyball Blues (Chapter 14)
Part 1
"Captain looks worried. Really worried." Yoochun sighed as he and Jaejoong left the gym in search of the washroom.
"I'm worried." Jaejoong bit his lip.
"Don't be, Jaejoongie. It's really all just fun and games. Besides, we---" Yoochun stopped walked and held out an arm in front of Jaejoong to stop him from walking too.
"It's her."
"... What?" Jaejoong looked around to try and see what his friend was talking about.
"Minyoung. It's Minyoung!" Yoochun hissed and dragged Jaejoong behind a wall. He pointed at a girl with long, black hair in a JYP uniform who just entered the school.
"That's Minyoung? She goes to JYP!"
"Yeah... Grade twelve student..." Yoochun watched as Minyoung scanned the hallway for any sign of the gym.
"Yoochun...?"
"Yeah?"
"Why don't we just say hi? Why are we hiding behind this wall?"
"Oh... Um, right." Yoochun stepped out from behind the wall and walked up to Minyoung. "Minyoung!"
Said girl looked back and smiled when she saw Yoochun.
Jaejoong thought she had a pretty smile.
"Yoochun!"
"You're here...?" Yoochun pretended like he didn't know she was coming.
"Surprise!" Minyoung hugged Yoochun. "Yunho invited me. I had to sneak out of school and take the bus here, so don't tell anyone."
"I'll keep you secret." Yoochun silently took Jaejoong's arm and pulled him forward. "Minyoung, this is Jaejoong. Our new addition to the volleyball team."
"Nice to meet you." Minyoung bowed and then held out a hand for Jaejoong to shake. "Has anyone ever told you you're very good looking?"
Jaejoong was taken aback by the comment. "Thank you! You're very pretty."
"Thanks!"
"They are the same...!" Yoochun mumbled under his breath.
"Do you guys know where the gym is?"
"It's just over there," Yoochun pointed down the hall where it ended with two doors. "Through those doors."
"See you in there!" With a slight wave of her hand, Minyoung left the two.
"She's cute," Jaejoong turned around to face Yoochun.
"She's you. But a girl. And older. And very much not a boy."
Jaejoong rolled his eyes. "Whatever. We should really change, or else Changmin might call the police to send a search party out to find us."
"Fine, fine." Yoochun and Jaejoong continued to search for the washroom.

"I want Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Hyukjae and Hankyung to also take the court with me." Changmin ordered and jogged onto the court.
JYP also sent out six of their players.
"Holy crap." Jaejoong, being front and centre of the court, muttered when he saw a boy stand right in front of him on the other side of the net. "You're really, really tall."
The boy grinned when he lowered his gaze on Jaejoong, "Nice shorts, dude."
"Nice legs," The boy beside his teammate said with a smirk. "You dating someone?"
"What?" Jaejoong got out of his ready stance to put a hand on his hip.
"Oh, he's got attitude..." The two boys snickered.
"How about I come over there and---"
"Game start!" A whistle blew and a JYP boy in the corner of the court served the ball.
The ball bounced on the ground right beside Jaejoong; the teen's hair flew back a little from the wind the ball created.
"One to zero, JYP's serve."
"Jaejoong, pay attention!" Changmin yelled from the back of the court, clearly angry that they had lost their first point to a serve.
"Sorry, sorry!" Jaejoong got back into ready position, glaring at the two boys on the other side of the net.
Half an hour had passed and the score was SM in the lead, twenty to eighteen.
"One more points, guys." Changmin tried to say it encouragingly, but he was really tired.
"SM's serve."
Changmin bounced the ball a couple of times on the floor and stepped back, behind the serving line. He took in and let out a deep breath before tossing the ball in the air.
"GO CHANGMINNIE!" A voice shrieked in the bleachers, a girl standing up and flailing her arms around.
"What the---?" Changmin lurched forward and hit the ball sideways and into the net.
"Point to JYP. JYP's serve."
All the boys on the SM team turned their heads to look at the girl who distracted their Changmin.
"Oh my gosh... Noona is sorry, Changmin!" Minyoung called out, making an 'o' with her hands around her mouth as if trying to make her voice louder. "You can do this!"
"Minyoung...?!" Changmin's eyes widened. "Why is she here?!"
"Is that Minyoung noona?" The JYP boys were whispering amongst themselves. "Why is she here?"
"YAH! Minyoung noona! Shut up!" A boy from JYP yelled from the court.
"You shut up, Jang Wooyoung! How about I come over there and---"
"Miss, please sit down..." A boy from TY sitting beside Minyoung tugged on the girl's sleeve. "Don't interrupt the game..."
Minyoung bowed and then sat down, "Sorry, sorry."
"Why is she here?!" Changmin whispered to Yunho, both teens getting into ready stance.
"I... I told her to come."
Wooyoung sent the ball over with an overhand serve.
"Got it!" Jaejoong shouted and bumped the ball up.
"Mine!" Yoochun volleyed the ball into the air by the net.
Jaejoong jumped and spiked the ball as hard as he could with his wrist.
"WOO!" Minyoung screamed when none of the JYP boys were able to prevent the ball from hitting the ground.
The SM team broke out into cheers and ran toward each other, giving hugs and high fives.
"Thanks for the support, noona." A boy grumbled as he walked up to Minyoung.
"Yeah, we should tell Principal Park you skipped."
"Don't threaten me, guys." Minyoung rolled her eyes. "If you went to your lover's game and they were facing your school, who would you cheer for?"
The boys shrugged, "Whatever, noona. See you later."
Minyoung patted each boy on the back before running up to Changmin to tackle-hug him. "Congrats, dongsaengie!"
"M-Minyoung!" Changmin put a foot back to keep his balance with his girlfriend hanging off his neck.
"Ew, you're all sweaty, but that's okay!"
"Minyoung..." Changmin detached the girl's arms from around his neck.
"Changmin." Jaejoong tapped the older on the shoulder.
"Huh?"
"Come here for a second." Jaejoong led the volleyball captain away from his girlfriend and instead toward where Yunho, Yoochun, and Junsu were standing. "Let's go outside of the gym." Jaejoong then dragged all four boys out of the gym.
"The third game will start in ten minutes." The announcer said before the five boys had completely left the gym.
"What are we doing?" Changmin stared at Jaejoong with a bewildered expression on his face.
"Harmony." Jaejoong took out a neatly folded piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolded it, revealing the typed out lyrics of the song.
"Now's really not the time to rehearse, Jae---"
"Shh! Harmonize with me." Jaejoong cleared his throat.
"Eh~"
Junsu opened his mouth too. "Eh~"
Yoochun joined in, nudging Yunho and Changmin to harmonize too. "Eh~"
Jaejoong held up his hand to silence the four. "Wow. We sound awesome."
"Jaejoong, we really should go back---"
"Changmin, I'm going to start singing. Ready?"
"Jae---"
"Captain, just go with it." Yoochun silenced the protesting male, and ushered for Jaejoong to continue.
"Ready, and... I suppose this feeling in my heart would be love. Although I try to hide it, a smile appears on my lips." Jaejoong shoved the paper into Changmin's hands and the other sighed.
"It hasn't even been a day but I begin to miss you again. What should I do? My heart has caught a deep illness."
The paper was soon forgotten and the five just kept singing.
When they finished, Jaejoong smiled. "We're good. Let's go."
"Go?" Changmin raised an eyebrow. "Go where?"
"Go sing this to Minyoung."
"What?! But the third game is about to start, and there's no piano or guitar---"
"It's fine!" Jaejoong pushed Changmin back into the gym, Yunho, Junsu, and Yoochun following.
"Minyoung!" Yoochun jogged up to the girl, she was chatting with a girl from TY. "Come over here."
"What is it, Yoochun?"
"Changmin has something to give to you, before you leave on Sunday."
Minyoung's face seemed to drop at the mention of her leave. "He does?"
"Ready?" Yoochun asked and started counting when he got four nods. "One, two, three..."
Click to viewThe whole gym had gotten quiet when the five had started singing, all eyes were on them.
When the song had ended, Minyoung let out a shaky sigh. "Changmin..."
"Minyoung, I really don't want you to leave and move to America. but if it's what you really want, then I'll wait. I'll wait those eight years for you to visit." Changmin smiled sadly, "I'll keep loving you. Even if you are a million miles away from me."
"Changmin..." Minyoung stepped forward and hugged her boyfriend tightly, the tightest she had ever hugged anyone in her life, and kissed him on the cheek. "You're sweet. You're caring. I love you and I'll be sure to call you and give you one heck of a phone bill."
Changmin laughed and ran a hand through Minyoung's long hair.
"I can't believe she's still leaving after that totally amazing song." Yoochun scratched his head and rummaged through his bag to find his water bottle.
Jaejoong giggled. "Way to ruin the moment."
"Jaejoongie!" Yunho ruffled the shorter teen's hair.
"What? Don't do that!" Jaejoong smoothed out the strands.
"I have this extra pair of shorts... Do you want to wear them? The referee told me your legs are giving everybody nosebleeds... So the third game is postponed because most of the players are in the washroom." Yunho held out a pair of blue shorts that looked like they would go a little bit past Jaejoong's knees.
"Boy shorts...?" Jaejoong took the shorts from Yunho's hands and stared intently at them. "Oh... Oh my gosh... I'll... I'm going to change right now!"
Yoochun and Yunho watched as the teen ran out the gym to the washroom.
"Chapter closed, I guess." Yoochun said as he watched Minyoung and Changmin talk and Junsu trying to volley a ball. "I wonder if we'll still win when Jaejoong has no legs to show off..."
