Someday- Ch 10
Chapter 10: Jinx
****
"Ya~ Yui." I said lightly, as if I was whispering it to her.
She turned her head upward with a smile. "Yes, Minho?"
I swallowed hard, prepare yourself Minho! "Ugh... I... I... don’t think, I can escort you home today."
I closed my eyes before I could get stunned. "Why?" She asks calmly. I open my eyes and exhale. I wasn’t expecting this. Is this a miracle? However her eyebrows were furrowed.
"Uhm... Because we had a basketball practice today."
"Oh..." She nodded slowly. "Can other students watch your practice?"
"Yes..." Suddenly her eyes started to shimmer. I chuckled. "Do you want to watch?"
"Can I?"
"Of course, you can." I smiled. Then she grinned. I could feel my heart, pounding quite fast again... Hmm? I wonder why... or is it because Yui has a different aura today? She's not scolding anymore.
"Ureshii na (I'm happy...)"
My eyes open wide and look on the side, there was still a smile etched on my face. Tons of questions started to cross my mind and two of them were:
'Ha~ what did she say? I'm not Japanese, how am I supposed to know that? Ha~'
And
'Is this the end of the world? Because Yui is acting nice?'
Somebody knocked on the door; I was jolted back to reality. I look back and saw Jonghyun staring at us. "Minho, come on."
"Coming~" I answered. Then he smiled at us and walked away. "I’ll wait for you." I said.
"I'll go first." I bend down and pick up my bag. I smiled at her again and turn around and started to stride.
I stopped when I heard her say, "Wait... Will you accompany me on the locker?"

It’s not that I'm boasting or what, well... I could say I'm quite good at playing basketball. AND I'M PROUD OF IT!
The gymnasium was big enough to cover all students, but as of now, only a few of them were present.
And I cannot see Yui. She said she'll just follow.
Should I say, 'woohoo?'
"What took you so long Minho? We've been waiting for you for 30 minutes now." Onew faked, whereas, he pass and bounced the ball off his feet as I tried to block him.
"I accompanied Yui on the locker." I said, stealing the ball and dribbling it across the court to do a layup. We ran to the other side, trying to block one another. But this time, the ball was in Key's hands, he was my team mate.
"Oh..." Key said as he held up his hand, calling a shot. The ball went it with a clean swish. "She kind of resembles my cousin."
"Who?" I asked. "Yui and your cousin?"
"Yeah..." Jonghyun added. I wonder if his cousin and Yui has the same attitude… I hope not.

I could hear some audible sounds. I took a glance, students were coming inside. And our practice became intense as we compete with the other team.
Still, I couldn’t see Yui. Oh well. Perhaps, she got home alone already.
But... she said she'll watch right? tss. Why did I believe on her anyway? I should stop thinking about her, or else it'll only make me irritable.
I grabbed the ball, raced across the court, and twirled to make a left-handed rebound.
"WOO-HOOO!!!! THAT'S MY BOYRIEND!!! WHOOO!!! MINHO! GANBATTE (go for it)!"
I turn around, then I saw her with my own two eyes, it made me smile to the extent that my eyes became chinkier and my muscle hurts... Yui is here... cheering for me.
I feel great… and happy.
She covered her mouth and started pointing at me. "OH my god!!! Minho! Watch out!!!" I looked at my right. Then boom! It happened.
My vision began to swirled and blur.
One second I was standing, another I was on the ground, lying on the floor.
My head was spinning. Everything seems to be double. Many shadows started to cluster closer to me. I felt someone near me... I could feel her soft skin, she was calling my name.
Her hair was long, she was pretty. "Minho... Minho... are you okay?" the angel sobbed.
Huh? Why is she crying? "Y-yui?"
"Minho... are you okay?"
"I... think... I'm fine..."
She laughed and wiped her face. Then she let go my head, I looked on the side, I saw her, talking to someone and pushing him. But the guy isn’t fighting back. "YAH! Why did you hit Minho?!"
Without delay, I saw his face threw on the other side, did she punch him? An angel punched someone?
"Y-Yui? Stop..."
I blink my eyes slowly and I tried to stand up. Somebody held my arms and tried to help me. Until she saw me and ran closer to me. She raised my left hand and wrap it around her shoulder. We started to walk away from them.
"Minho are you okay?"
"Ugh... I don’t know…” I answered honestly. My conscious have regain as I saw her punched him. I merely got scared again. “The ball hit on my face... It hurts."
She giggled, "don’t worry, I've took care of the guy who hit your face."
I smiled, my right eye became twitchy.
Suddenly, I realized, I have never been hit on the face before, until now... IS there a possibility that Yui is a jinx in my life?
