A/N: Since it's Christmas, here's my gift for you my dear readers, an update.

LISA kept on glancing towards Jisoo, she doesn’t know why but she was nervous so she approached Moon.

“Moon,” she called.

“What’s up?”

“I’m switching my position to Jisoo-unnie for the time being.”

Moon frowned and she look at to Jisoo then back to Lisa, “but why?”

“Just let me.”

Moon saw that Lisa is serious about the request, “what’s happening?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust Jisoo-unnie, I’m just concerned.”

“Tell me.”

Lisa sighed, “I have this feeling that I just can’t ignore, you know me and Jisoo-unnie is my best friend.”

“Is it what it is?”

“It’s just my theory though, it's better to do it than not.”

Moon sighed and nodded, “I got it.”

“Don’t worry, Jisoo-unnie can handle it with pro.”

Moon smirk and said, “you will not suggest it if she’s not and I will not agree if she’s couldn't.”

Lisa smiled, “okay, thank you, Moon.”

Moon quickly told Jisoo to change position with Lisa.

Jisoo on the other hand is nervous, what was Lisa is up to? Why a sudden change? But she believes in Lisa so she agreed.

The whistle blew and the game started with 3mins left before the 3rd quarter ends.

The ball was once again with the blue team. And just as she expected, two large men is under the basket. Moon and Jisoo shared a look, Moon nodded at Jisoo which Jisoo agreed.

Their team passed the ball towards Jisoo.

“WHAT IS HAPPENING? #4 TURNS TO A SHOOTING GUARD? DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTNER?”

“I DIDN’T BUT DON’T FORGET THAT BLUE TEAM ALWAYS SURPRISES US, LET’S FIND IT OUT.”

“EVEN THE RED TEAM IS CONFUSED FOR THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF POSITION FROM THE BLUE TEAM.”

“MORE LIKE THEY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT #4 WILL BE A SHOOTING GUARD.”

“PARTNER, WE ALREADY SEE A LOT OF SHOOTING GUARD THAT IS 5 FOOT 2 TALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE #4 IS NOT AN EXCEMPTION.”

“AGREED AND HERE IT IS.”

The ball was passed quickly and in just a matter of time, Jisoo run towards the 3 point field area with a screen helped by her teammate so she can freely pass and she quickly receive the ball from her other teammate when she get into position.

Jisoo knew that being a shooting guard is not her field but she will try and to support of what her best friend would do. She took her pose and took a deep breath then shoot the ball from the 3 point field area.

“Shit…” Jisoo cursed because her throw is not enough, the spin is not enough for it to go through so she looked towards Lisa and her eyes widened when she saw her spin under the basket freeing itself from the two bulky men then she remembered so she made a signal to her teams.

The blue team quickly changed positions to assist.

Before the ball landed, Lisa already jumped and catches it with ease then dunked the ball and after that she quickly landed and ran away from the basket but it’s too late her arm was graze but not too hard.

The referee saw it and blew his whistle doing a signal, “SCORE COUNTED, DEFENSIVE FOUL, RED TEAM #20! HOLDING!”

“What the fuck?” and #20 advanced towards the referee, threatening him.

“TECHNICAL FOUL, RED TEAM #20!”

“YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!” and the red team already stopped him.

The referee turned around and made a signal towards #27, “two shots.”

Lisa nodded.

Jisoo ran towards Lisa, “hey, you’re okay?”

“I am, just a graze from his nail,” and she showed it.

Jisoo quickly made a signal to the medic team. The medic team ran towards Lisa, bringing a medical kit and quickly tended to Lisa’s wounds.

“Is this the reason why you want us to switch position?”

Lisa nodded, “you will surely be buried from those idiots, don’t want their sweats ran to your skin, you will get skin irritation.”

Jisoo chuckled and embrace Lisa, “thank you.”

“You’re my best friend, unnie, don't want anything bad happen to you.”

Jisoo smiled and nodded.

“Your shot almost got in.”

“I got nervous, actually.”

“I saw it, that's why I did the move.”

“Can you take it #27?” the referee asked.

It was the medic who answered just to be sure, “just a graze nothing too serious.”

“Okay.”

The medic then returned.

The referee passed the ball towards Lisa.

The blue team went to their respective position.

This time, Jisoo is back being a point guard, #17 is the small forward, #10 is the centre, Moon is the shooting guard and Lisa will be the power forward.

Lisa went to the free throw field, she dribbled the ball, the medicine is still kicking in so she uses her right hand to do the shot. With just one hand, Lisa shot the ball and it goes in. The ball is passed towards her again and did another shot and it went through once more.

Jisoo took the ball and raised her hand, pointing upward.

“BLUE TEAM IS REALLY AMAZING, THEY CAN ALL DO ANY POSITION THEY WANTED.”

“AND THIS IS AN ADVANTAGE ONE, PARTNER, IT WILL CONFUSED THEIR OPPONENT.”

“YES, PARTNER BUT THEIR SCORE REMAINED.”

“YES, 82-73, STILL IN FAVOUR FOR THE RED TEAM AND 2MINS LEFT.”

“BLUE TEAM IS  STILL CATCHING UP TO THE 9 POINT DIFFERENCE.”

“YES, PARTNER, KNOWING THEY ALL CAN DO A 3 POINT SHOT 9 POINTS IS NOTHING TO THEM.”

“LET’S SEE AND NOW #4 IS BACK TO BEING A POINT GUARD.”

“AND THEY’RE DOING IT AGAIN, THE SPEED PASS.”

“AND THE RED TEAM IS STILL NOT CATCHING UP TO THAT PASSING.”

“LET’S NOT FORGET PARTNER, THAT 5YRS AGO, GOYANG HIGH HAD A BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONSHIP AND IF I’M NOT MISTAKEN, #4 AND #27 IS STILL PLAYING AT THAT TIME, CLEARLY, #4, #27 AND #3 IS THE THREE MUSKETEERS BACK THERE.”

“WAIT, I HEARD THAT BEFORE, IS IT #27 WAS ONCE CALLED LONGDALISA? YES, AND #4 IS RABBIT AND THERE IS MOON. THIS IS INSANE!”

“ARE WE GUESSING THAT THE RED TEAM CHOSE THE WRONG TEAM?”

“WELL, LET’S FIND OUT.”

Lisa face palmed herself because once again, she heard the nickname that was called to her before. Jisoo and Moon even laughed at her.

“Yah, that’s enough,” and she received the ball.

“We’re not done yet, Manoban.”

“Still on me?” and she smirked and she made a quick dribble, hyping Jong-In until Lisa do an ankle break.

Jong-In fell on Lisa’s trap, though he was quick, he received an offensive foul, making it 3 for himself and it was another free throw from Lisa.

From 9 points down to 8 points, making Jong-In feel frustrated even more.

“You have to chill,” Jungkook reminded Jong-In.

“Chill? Look at the scores idiot, don’t tell me to just fucking chill!”

“I’ll guard Manoban.”

“Better do it well.”

***

1min. 15secs left before the 3rd quarter end.

Lisa’s face became serious because it was Jungkook who guarded her.

Jungkook is the captain of the boys division back then and together they win, making the championship back to back during high school years.

“I've been dreaming of facing you on the court, now is the time, so, don’t hold back.”

“I am not,” and she started to dribble.

Jungkook meant it for himself, he knew that he is nothing compared to Lisa when it comes to speed but he tried.

All of them went silent while watching the two, defense and offensive one. Lisa on the other hand is like dancing in the court.

“My apology Jungkook,” and she passed it to Moon who is now waiting on the 3point field.

Jungkook cursed because it’s too late.

“I’m not alone.”

“THERE IT GOES, ANOTHER 3 FROM BLUE TEAM!!”

“5 POINTS LEFT, WILL BLUE TEAM SURPASSED THE SCORE OR WILL IT MAKE A TIE?”

“LET’S FIND OUT.”

***

Jungkook never leaves Lisa from the rest of the 3rd quarter, only him can counter her as what the red team expect him to do but sadly Lisa is not playing alone, she had a team.

3rd quarter ended with the score of 82-78.

It was still the red team who got the 3rd quarter.

Lisa sighed after emptying her water bottle.

“Not enough?”

Lisa looked back and saw Jennie and she smiled at her and accepted the water bottle, “thanks.”

“Who is Jungkook to you?”

“What?” the sudden question surprised her.

“Don’t hide it from me, are you enjoying it?”

“What do you mean? I don’t get it.”

“Yes, you are, don't deny it.”

“Nini, we’re in the middle of the game.”

“And yet you’re letting him.”

Lisa gulped, Jennie’s eyes squints more, just like a cat and it means that she's pissed, “i-it’s not what you think," she quickly explained.

“Cut her some slack, Jennie,” Solar said.

“Yes, kitten,” Moon agreed, “Jungkook is the captain of the boys division when your lovebird and Rabbit still playing, she can escape from him but she’s avoiding of getting a foul.”

“Jen,” Jisoo called, “red team is just desperate that’s why they make Jungkook guard Limario.”

Lisa grinned at Jennie but she’s still nervous.

“If you’re really avoiding of getting a foul then add a speed.”

Lisa gulped and nodded, “okay, I will.”

“Good.”

Lisa sighed then she received a dry towel being patted to her skin and saw Jennie doing it and she got smile.

“Lisa-ssi,” Rosé called.

“What is it, unnie?”

“I suddenly feel the hair of my skin standing.”

Lisa knew what Rosé meant so she glance a bit and she was right, “he’s glaring at us.”

“Who, Lili?” Jennie asked while continuing of patting the dry towel to Lisa’s back.

“Jong-In.”

“Let him, don’t mind him.”

“Okay, Nini,” and she stared at Jennie who is now patting the dry towel to her face.

They shared a look and they both smiled.

Then someone cleared a throat and it was Moon, “uhm—we’re still in the game.”

Jennie rolled her eyes and kiss Lisa’s forehead and continued patting Lisa’s sweat face.

Lisa just chuckled and she stood up approaching Moon, Jennie even followed, still damping the partially now wet towel to Lisa’s bare neck and to her back.

“Puu, I hate to say this but I need you on this one, you and rabbit, is that okay?” "the others will standby."

“Of course, why?”

“I’m just worried about your bruises.”

“Don’t worry about it, you heard auntie Yeri I can still take until the last minute.”

Moon sighed and nodded, “okay, but I will tell you this would be risky, mostly on your part now that Jungkook is guarding you, he may or may not watch our game before.”

“Did you mean that we’re doing what we are doing during high school?” Jisoo asked.

“Yes, Rabbit, when it comes to you and Puu, you’re both unstoppable.”

Jisoo looked at to Lisa, “Moon had a point.”

Jennie butted in when Lisa is about to speak, “don’t worry team, my Lisa can escape from that Jungkook and do the strategy.”

Lisa nodded, “you heard her.”

“Whipped…”

“Am not.”

“You are,” Jisoo and Rosé replied.

Lisa was about to counter but Jennie already held her arm, stopping her.

Jisoo and Rosé stopped their selves from laughing, choosing to share a look with each other.

“Okay, Puu and Rabbit, we’re doing the same as before, because there will be a hole on the red team, if Jungkook already know our strategy, let’s put it that way, the thing is he’s the only one who knew it and you already notice it but it was Jungkook and that blonde hair boy aside from Jong-In is doing mostly of the shots, they didn’t work as a team, unlike us that we can rely on each other.”

“We understand.”

Then they heard the whistle.

“Okay, that’ll be it, we’re still running after their score, so, don’t slack everyone.”

They all nodded.

“Jisoo-unnie,” Jimin called.

Jisoo looked up and saw her younger brother, “what is it?” and she was taken aback when Jimin embraced her, “yah, what happened to you?”

“I’m really worried about you earlier, good thing Lisa-hyung noticed it.”

Jisoo smiled, embracing him too, and ruffled Jimin’s hair, “don’t worry, it’ll not happen again, I’ll be more careful.”

“He’s really worried, yeobo,” Rosé said.

“Better be ready your camera, you’ll be seeing the unseen before.”

Jimin smiled and nodded, “Dad is doing it, and I know you can do it.”

“Then, stop worrying.”

“Okay,” Jimin replied with a big smile.

“Jimin, don’t worry,” Lisa said, “I will not let them hurt your unnie, okay?”

“I know, Lisa-hyung.”

“Good.”

Then the whistle can be heard again.

“HERE WE GO, THE LAST QUARTER OF THIS GAME.”

“I MUST ADMIT THAT I’M NERVOUS BECAUSE THE MATCH IS CLOSE.”

“YEAH AND BLUE TEAM IS SLOWLY SHOWING THEIR SIDES, THEIR HIDDEN CARDS TO BE EXACT.”

“I GUESS WE’LL BE EXPECTING MORE FROM THE BLUE TEAM ON THIS QUARTER.”

“CAN RED TEAM, MAINTAIN THEIR SCORE, LEAVING BLUE TEAM BEHIND?”

“LET’S FIND THAT OUT.”

“HERE WE GO, THE BALL WAS ALREADY THROWN OFF BY THE REFEREE.”

And the 4th quarter began.

A/N: Merry Christmas, everyone, I hope that you all had a great day. Stay safe as always and godspeed.
