Sorry for the super late update haha I was at a writer's block... And gosh I have to practice this French thing but I really don't want to *bangs head against wall* I'm sorry for this super short update compared to how long I've made you guys wait, and it's really, vraiment, cheesy.

It was now Thursday again, which meant another game was supposed to take place at Pyojun High. This time, they were playing against this other group named KNK. Chanyeol's team had never played against them before, but he's heard rumors that they were a good team.

Once classes were over, the seven boys gathered up in the locker room, talking to each other.

"So we're going to warm up first, and after that, the real game starts. We'll just do everything like last game—"

"AKA whoop their asses," Sehun cuts in and everyone laughed as they slipped on their jerseys.

"Yeah, sure," Chanyeol waved his hand before continuing. "We've never played against this team before but I've heard they're okay. Just because we won one game doesn't mean we have to act all mighty. Don't get too cocky and begin doing crazy things, all right?"

Everyone listened to Chanyeol and agreed, continuing to dress themselves in silence.

"Is everyone excited?" Xiumin broke the silence and all of them cheered.

Baekhyun, out of all of them, was the most excited and Chanyeol could see it in the way Baekhyun's eyes twinkled. The midget just wanted to get out on court and feel the orange ball in his hands. He was also constantly talking to Junmyeon about how much he likes basketball.

"Still nervous?" Junmyeon brought up and Baekhyun smiled.

"Nope, not at all."

Once everyone was done dressing, they left the locker room together just in time to see KNK walk into the gym. Baekhyun walked with his head down, too absorbed in his thoughts about how well he was going to do to see the team he probably wouldn't ever forget.

"Oh shit, they look stro—"

"Shut up Jongin," Mingyu hissed and Jongin scowled at the younger.

"Is that any way to talk to your hyung?"

Each one of the KNK members looked like they worked out, and they were all remotely tall, there was something mysterious about their gazes though...

Chanyeol scowled as he saw an all too familiar look in their eyes as the other team sized up their own team.

They were underestimating Chanyeol's team.

Some of them looked in Baekhyun's direction and muttered a few words before snickering to themselves, causing the captain to feel even more aggravated.

Once the team reached the bench, Chanyeol immediately shuffled over to Baekhyun, bumping his shoulder with his. It was a hard feat due to their height differences.

"Yah, Baekhyun..." Chanyeol whispered in the smaller's ear and the latter seemed to snap out of it, looking up. "We gotta beat their asses." Chanyeol pointed behind him to the opposing team and Baekhyun laughed.

"Of course we..." The words died in his throat when he saw the other team.

Last year when he had played for his old school, this group, KNK, had beaten Baekhyun's to the bones and laughed in his face afterwards, even having the guts to call his team sore losers who could't even get the ball for more then two seconds.

Baekhyun grit his teeth and clenched his fist, causing Chanyeol to give him a questioning look.

"Is something the matter, Baekhyun? If you're nervous again—"

"No," Baekhyun cut him off and looked into Chanyeol's eyes. "We just need to beat them. Destroy them even."

"Woah, yeah of course we're going to. What's the matter?"

Baekhyun didn't answer though as he dropped to the ground and began stretching, keeping his eyes on his least favourite person from that team.

It was one of the boys who came up to Baekhyun after the game to separately tell him that he sucked the worst because he thought they actually had a chance.

After another few minutes, the game began and Baekhyun was ultimately stuck with his least favourite person, someone who was called Youjin.

The game started and Chanyeol got the ball as usual, giving it to Jongin.

Baekhyun tried really hard to get his check away from him, but the Youjin guy didn't seem to get off of him. Baekhyun scowled and continued, trying to somehow duck past when he wasn't paying attention.

However, Youjin kept his undivided attention on Baekhyun and the smaller started to wonder if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Baekhyun was stuck behind Youjin for most of the first five minutes, not able to get away. He felt like some butterfly stuck in a spider's web. And the worst spider also.

The ball was stolen from Sehun and someone passed it to Youjin, who bolted to the Raven's net. Baekhyun was trying to keep up with the taller man, and he did something that completely surprised him.

It was like everything was in slow-mo as Baekhyun swung his hand down to get the ball, but instead his palm connected to the skin of Youjin's arm, slapping it so hard the everyone stopped. And what's worse? Baekhyun stepped on Youjin's foot in the process, causing the other player to fall forwards, landing on his knees and elbows.

There was a silence in the gym and the ball just kind of bounced away as Baekhyun stood there shocked.

"Foul, 2 shots!" The referee called and even though it was an accident on Baekhyun's part, he felt so angry with himself. He wanted to slam his head against the wall and disappear into nothingness because the looks the other team were giving him were so sour that they even made Baekhyun believe he himself did it on purpose.

Youjin got up slowly and Baekhyun felt so bad when his knees looked wrecked and his arm had a rather prominent red spot.

Baekhyun wanted to apologize and help his check get up but he can't do anything as he just stood there, holding his wrist to his chest with his other hand, as if he was afraid it was going to do something by itself.

Everyone got in their positions and Youjin shot both of the foul shots, getting them in perfectly. When the ball is given back to the Ravens, Baekhyun walks up to Chanyeol who's about to pass it in.

"Can I... Sit on the bench please?" He asked and Chanyeol looked at him shockingly.

"What?" He questioned and Baekhyun just repeated it, looking anywhere but Chanyeol's face.

Chanyeol didn't want to make Baekhyun sit on the bench, because he looked so excited to play this game... But the look Baekhyun's face had now told him differently.

Chanyeol sighed and rubbed the back of Baekhyun's neck reassuringly before calling for the subs.

Baekhyun freed himself from Chanyeol's grasp and walked to the bench dejectedly, sitting down away from the other members and trying to get his mind together. He leaned down and put his head in his hands, closing his eyes.

It was a futile attempt at being alone though, because Chanyeol had left with him and he felt the giant sit down right beside him.

"Hey... Why are you beating yourself up so bad?" Chanyeol asked and Baekhyun just shook his head as an answer. "Baekhyun... It was just an accident, so what's the big problem? Two points lost isn't bad, we can always take them back."

"That's the thing, Channie..."

"Still using nicknames in this situation..." Chanyeol muttered to himself and Baekhyun just brushed it off.

"I trust us enough to know two points won't affect us but... But I don't... I don't even know if it was an accident..." The smaller mumbled quietly, almost sure that Chanyeol didn't hear.

But it was obvious Chanyeol heard when he replied with: "What do you mean?"

Baekhyun sighed and sat straight, looking into Chanyeol's eyes with confusion, guilt and slight anger at himself. "It feel like it was by accident, but I also feel like something somewhere in me wanted to do that to him..."

Chanyeol shook his head as he let out a sigh of disappointment. "I can't believe you Baekhyun, you're such a terrible person. How could you even say that?"

Baekhyun felt his heart sink when Chanyeol said those words, he wasn't expecting Chanyeol to reassure him with kind words, but he didn't expect Chanyeol to say that to him.

By now, Baekhyun wanted to go jump off some cliff and land in the pits of hell, where he believed everyone wanted him to stay.

Baekhyun turned away and faced the ground again as Chanyeol stood up, leaving his side.

He bit his lip and began thinking of possible outcomes that resulted from this game.

He didn't even know why he was reacting this way, but it just scared him to think that he would hurt someone on purpose, because it was true that Baekhyun could barely hurt a fly.

Would everyone think that I'm a terrible person now? Will everyone be weirded out by me? Will everyone—

His thoughts were cut off when he felt a stinging pain on his forehead, causing him to jolt up and cover the spot he was just hit, looking up at Chanyeol who was giving him a look he saw when they played the first game of the tournament.

Chanyeol then proceeded to lightly slap both of Baekhyun's cheeks, causing Baekhyun to look wide eyed at him. "I don't know if a flick on the forehead and a few slaps will get your senses back, but let me tell you something Baekhyun."

Baekhyun was confused as to how this situation happened, but Chanyeol simply continued. "You were right when you said you were Winnie the Pooh, because Winnie the Pooh is stupid as fuck and he doesn't understand shit."

Baekhyun frowned at Chanyeol's words but his captain didn't care one bit, continuing with his weird speech.

"But he also wouldn't ever hurt anybody." Chanyeol's eyes softened and Baekhyun felt himself melting. "And like I said before, he's just too stupid to realize that. And so he makes his friends worry and thinks about dumb things instead of fixing it. In these situations, you usually help the fat bear back onto his feet, so that's what I'm doing right now."

Baekhyun let out a laugh at being called a fat bear, and Chanyeol began to grin at him too.

"So, let's say Winnie accidentally hurt someone and Shrek over here, knows that he didn't do it on purpose. Normally, wouldn't you call Winnie stupid?"

Baekhyun nodded, a smile forming on his face at each word Chanyeol said.

"And so, Shrek does exactly that...

Baekhyun, you're stupidity drives me crazy. I don't even understand how you could ever do that on purpose. The look on your face when he fell says it all. You didn't hurt him on purpose and I also don't understand how you could ever think for one millisecond that you'd be able to. Because, you're probably the nicest person I've met—even though that might not be the greatest title because I only have friends like Oh Sehun- and you don't deserve thoughts like these. So," Chanyeol flicks Baekhyun's forehead once more and points behind him. "Get back into the game."
