Jaemin once again jerks his head away from his phone. YOU SHOULD HAVE STRETCHED MORE, OR DRANK MORE WATER, OR I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE, BUT, YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAUTIOUS, OKAY?” Jaemin mentally prepares himself for what may possibly take ten years off his lifetime of Donghyuk’s yelling. “Dang, okay, well, uh, imayormaynothavebrokenmyfibula.” Jaemin’s breath whooshes out of him all at once. “Just spit it out Jaemin, I don’t have all day to wait around for an answer, and by the way, you need to tell your teammates as well because YangYang keeps bothering me about it as well.” Is your injury bad? YangYang has been asking me about your injury.” “Jeez, I was going to tell you sooner than later, no need to be bitchy about it, dang.” Do you simply know how much stress I got from waiting for three thousand hours for a response from you? I might have to reconsider our friendship.” Jaemin could hear the sarcasm oozing through the phone because of course Donghyuk would be the only one to gripe about his boyfriend letting him know about Jaemin’s injury. “Well, I honestly was counting on YangYang to report to you, so I wouldn’t have to, duh,” Jaemin snarks back.
He rolls his eyes at Donghyuk’s dramatics. Of course he’s going to be dramatic about this, Jaemin thought. Jaemin cringes and immediately rips his phone away from his poor ears to spare himself from more of Donghyuk’s yelling. WHY DID I HAVE TO KNOW THAT YOU GOT INJURED THROUGH MY BOYFRIEND. “JAEMIN! WHY DID YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY LET ME KNOW THAT YOU GOT INJURED. He hits the call button, and almost immediately, Donghyuk picks up. Donghyuk could be a lot to handle sometimes, but he was Jaemin’s best friend for a reason. Jaemin lets out a long sigh, and decides to call Donghyuk. He finds that his soccer team’s group chat has blown up with several texts, as well as three missed calls from Donghyuk and text from Jeno as well. He sighs, then decides to check it because he hasn’t checked it since his mother rushed him to the emergency room during the game. Later, when Jaemin is hobbling around the kitchen, his phone starts to buzz incessantly. “Well, we’ll see if he’s up for it tomorrow morning.” Jaemin gives a small smile back. “That works for me! I don’t know about Jisung though, he hates having to wake up early.” he answers. Oh right, I can’t even drive anymore because of my leg, he thinks. “Here, why don’t I drop you and Jisung off tomorrow early so you can tell Coach Lee that you can’t play the rest of the season?” You need rest right now,” she reprimands. “Well Jaemin, I would advise you to not dwell upon what happened too much. “Oh! Sorry, I was just reviewing some of my plays in my head.” He does not realize that he has arrived home until his mother very concernedly waves her hand in his face and asks if anything was wrong. Maybe he should have taken that opportunity to pass the ball to YangYang.
How did the ref let that kid intercept him out of nowhere? He was used to the antics of the Eagles, but the ref at the game was obviously biased toward them, which completely turned the tide. Jaemin, once again, finds himself in his thoughts. “Well, if you do ever need anything, honey, just let me know.” I think I just need to get some rest tonight.” He blinks a bit then turns to answer her, “No, thank you. Do you want to stop by to get food or something else, honey?” his mother asks as she takes her seat in the car. “Jaemin sweetie, I’m sorry that your season got cut short like this. The Eagles were a tough team, not only because their defense was solid, but because they were also notorious for pulling illegal moves on the field. But, he was mostly furious at himself that he got injured at a soccer game during his peak high school year.Īt least my team won, he thought to himself. Suffice to say, he was still a little peeved that the cocky sophomore team on the opposing team managed to trip him up during the game, which led to his unfortunate result of a broken fibula. Jaemin’s head still rang from the emergency room appointment earlier. “I regret to inform you that your son has broken his fibula.”
