Gym Basketball Court

The sound of his sneakers skeeting across the gym floor accounts the sound of a ball bouncing. Mark jogs his way into the court, dressed in some black sweats and a simple black Tee. It’s been too long since he’s been able to practice since the season was over. The team didn’t make it to championships, but whatever the reason was for that failure, he didn’t have the brain space to think about it now. He ran laps between each end of the court as he dribbled the ball- hip high. Back and forth, back and forth. He kept going until he was coated in a sweat. Taking a small bring, he chugged back some water before beginning on taking shots in the basket.

@lee dohyun The check came as a surprise and he just barely caught the ball and honestly he didn't know if was supposed so he dribbled it a few times and tossed it back with a bit of a fumble and dramatic pout to convey his distress. " I wasn't ready, Dough! I probably looked like a fumbling penguin or something." He made sure all of his things were okay before leaving them on the bleachers and coming down onto the court fully. "but I can try this outfit first and if not you can lend me your sweats... hopefully they fit-" chuckling softly as he looked down at himself, he glanced around the court before scratching his head. "so what's first, all-star?"

@kim chungha *puts away the dress back inside the bag * Okay, Dr. Chungmar- aye! It's our girl Meg. Any song of her's hit like crazy. *Stretches one hand in the air, the other on my bent knees as I throw it back to the song* What if we start this part twerking freestyle?

@rayan xasan @matcha mosimann Forreal I agree with Ray because I knew you were gonna come through but this came allllllll the way through *snaps and touches on the fabric* Okay Chacha, I'm already thinking of how our hair should be in these... hmm. And don't be burning down the dorm as an excuse not to come to practice because we need high energy for this basketball season. We must stay focused ladies. *picks up my phone and scrolls to the mix for our routines* Okay for this part of the routine I feel like we should start with this song, what yall think *presses play on the song*

@matcha mosimann @kim chungha /snorts at the memory, my head shaking with nothing else to say, defeat speaking for itself before turning to chungha grinning at the stream of sassiness/ When we get new girls you better put them through this Lebron James training, because if I'm not getting any numbers by the end of this I'm staying home. My knees and back aren't getting arthritis for nothing. /looks at the black dress on the hanger my mouth hanging open and my neatly plucked brows raised/ Oh my god, it literally looks perfect. We should be on the field in this one for real.

@huang renjun Dohyun noticed his outfit first and he can't help but to halt a laugh that is about to come out of his mouth, almost sneering but he waved for him to go down the bleachers instead. "Come on. That's okay. I have a spare sweats in my locker. Wanna borrow it? It might be too uncomfortable to play basketball with a jeans on". He chuckles this time around before catching the ball that was passed randomly to him by one of his school friends. "Unless you want to try playing with that outfit first? That will do too". He nods his head a few times and passes the ball towards Renjun without warning, checking if he is quick to grasp the ball.

@rayan xasan @kim chungha *slowly looks over my should my eyes squinting at rayan but the smile showing my amusement*
Girl I know you're not talking, almost burning down the dorm for chips. *s one of the bags revealing the costume for the next performance holding it in front of me* Ray and Chungis, we're going to be looking hot as hell, even with broken backs, and we won't look sloppy. I have it all down.

@lee dohyun reading over the text made his face fall, feeling like an idiot for not coming prepared which is something he wasn't used to. Academically, he was always over prepared if anything but he felt like even the basics were slipping through his fingers when it came to sports. He knew you wore fitness clothes in a fitness setting, it just failed to cross his mind before he left his dorm.
Right now he wore a hoodie and pretty loose jeans but he was definitely out of place. At least he had on some proper sneakers. when he heard Dohyun call out, he felt a wave of sheepishness wash over him and stood up quickly, rubbing his nape. "ah yea, I suppose this is as ready as I'll get-"

@rayan xasan @matcha mosimann Hahah. Don't even start, today we breaking backs *stands up from my stretching with my hands on my hips and walks over to the bleachers to come and see what's in the bags* Okay but lets see these new costumes that you've been talking about chacha because we gotta get the second part of this routine right especially with us entering basketball season. Gotta be tight, i REFUSE to look sloppy in front of these hoopers. *grabs some lotion from my bag and puts some on the back of my hands rubbing it in*

@matcha mosimann @kim chungha /drags myself in after matcha with my own gym bag slinging over my shoulder, my face bare of any makeup ] and my black curls pulled up into a tight bun/ Knowing you they should probably charge you for even using the room in case you break anything. /walks over to the bleachers to put my things down as well before taking off my oversized crewneck sweater and throwing it on top of my bag and pulling the bottom of my undershirt down/

@rayan xasan @kim chungha Hey, hey! *my voice loudly echoing as I rush inside the gym with my backpack on and my hands full with three black garment bags containing new costumes* Y'all are going to love what I brought. This took me almost the entire week because I had to get "special" permission to use the sewing room, I hate this school. *rolls my eyes at the mention and gently lays the garment bags and my bag across the bleachers* Okay, which ankle am I breaking today, girl?

@rayan xasan @matcha mosimann *walks in with my gym bag over my shoulder and sets down my things on the bleachers setting up the bluetooth speaker and taking off my hoodie as I wait for you two to come in* Hmmm now which song should we start with *starts scrolling through my phone while stretching my legs on the gym floor*

@huang renjun It's Dohyun's last class already so when the school bell rang, he immediately grabbed his back pack and rushed his way towards the door before anyone else can. Fishing out his phone on his pocket, he reads a couple of messages from Renjun and he lightly chuckled to himself while typing in a reply.

[To: Rennie ]
— the really awkward one huh? i doubt
— just got out of class, be there in a bit!
— did you wear sports fit? you def should

Once he sent his message, he climbs up the stairs going to the third floor where the school gym is located. He runs towards the locker room to drop his stuff and change into a sports outfit—a jersey and shorts plus his basketball shoes. After tying his shoes, he proceeds to the basketball gym and narrows his gaze as he try to spot Renjun. And there he goes, quietly sitting in the bleachers with his head bowed down as he scroll through his phone. He jogs his way towards him and shouts his name. "Hey, Rennie! I'm here. You ready?".

@lee dohyun maneuvering through people as I shuffle into the building, most of my attention is on my screen as I check my texts to see if I have any new messages. I quirk my lips to each side, a little worried I might intrude on some type of team practice or something but as I look around, there's maybe three or four other people in the gym and I relax visibly before glancing around to see if you're one of the people here already. I stay off of the court and loiter around the bleachers, sending you a quick text to point out where I'll be.

[ To: Doughy ] (2) new messages
-I'll be the really awkward one by the bleachers :')
-I don't think I dressed properly...

pursing my lips, I sit on the bleachers and tuck my hair, scrolling through insta quietly and watching the few people on the court play a while before packing up and going to go change or whatever it is they do.
