Chapter 14
~ 3rd Person POV ~
Today was a big day for Taehyung and the cheerleaders and mostly important, the football team. Paris Saints and Blue Knights played against each other to determine who would advance to the AllStar Championship. Both teams were equally nervous, knowing that a win was necessary to move forward
The sound of the clock ticking frustratingly made Taehyung shake his leg up and down as he tried to finish up his sparkly makeup look
Not only was the football game today, but he was also nervous because he and Jungkook still haven't spoken. Whenever they would walk past each other, there was an awkward and uncomfortable silence
Taehyung and his team weren't cocky or anything but they knew they'd advance to the championship so Jungkook hasn't said if he was going to come or not. He didn't want to overthink it but Jungkook wasn't here and he was going to leave in thirty minutes
As the male finished up his makeup, his phone rang loudly. His body moved on its own as he ran to grab it, not even checking the caller ID
" Jungkook, baby? Is that you?" Taehyung frantically asked, hoping and praying that it was his husband
" Does it sound like I'm Jungkook?" a high pitched voice said form the other side of the phone
Taehyung groaned out sadly, asking, 'What do you want?' He put his phone on speaker and walked over to his closet to pull out his new, perfectly-fitting uniform. He wished he could show it to Jungkook, but he wasn't around at the moment...he just didn't know where he was and it worried him
What if Jungkook didn't show up
" Ouch, what's wrong? You are supposed to be happy! Today is the day that our football team plays against that raggedy team and then we can advance to the Championship! Where is your burst of joy?" Maria asked, tumbling around on the phone
" What are you doing?
" I'm trying to find my pompoms! I can't find it " she yelled in frustration. Probably throwing everything around the room in order to find them
" Shouldn't you be on your way to the stadium? When I find my pompoms, I'm going to head out " Maria asked and Taehyung fixed his uniform and made sure that nothing was on it. He did a little swirl and smiled. Trying not to let Jungkook's absents affect him
This was a moment that changed his life. Although Taehyung was determined not to let Jungkook ruin it, he knew that he wanted his husband to be by his side. He didn't want anyone else to witness his celebration
" Yeah I'm going...I was just waiting for..." Taehyung mumbled, knowing that he couldn't make hisself late to the stadium just to wait in his husband. His bottom lip was tightly cased between his lips while looking at the clock that was quickly ticking
" No one, I'm not waiting for a-anyone...I'm about to head out, I'll see you in the locker room" Taehyung sighed and hung up the phone. Looking at the clock to see that it was already 6:30 and he needed to be at that stadium and ready at 7:00
" I love you but I can't wait on you...maybe you'll come during the game " Taehyung's sadly stated, his shoulders dropping as he grabbed his cheer bag with all his necessities and his phone
He couldn't leave the house without his good luck charm...which wasn't here right now
He let out a heavy and hurt sigh as he walked out of the apartment and onto the elevator where he waited patiently. This game was going to be a game changer and him and the rest of the cheerleaders have been practicing new everything so that they could put up their best performances and give it their all
Walking to his car in pure silence, and throwing his bag in the passenger seat. With a heavy heart and pain in his chest, he started the car and made his way to the stadium. The overflow of cars that were flooding the park lot of the stadium
He struggled to find a parking space but eventually found one but wasn't very pleased when he heard someone honking their horn at him repeatedly, angry that someone took their parking space
He rolled his eyes because this stuff happens all the time. Everyone is crowding into the stadium trying to get the best seats and that includes fighting motherfuckers from parking spots
The car continuously honked the horn at him so, being already irritated and annoyed as it was. He properly passed the car and got out of it alongside with his bags. He gave a sick smile and wink to the person who was pissed he got the space
" I was going to park there you goddamn idiot!"
" Sorry about that but as a cheerleader, I get to park anywhere that I want!" he yelled, blowing a kiss at the person before walking to the locker room
" bitch " He mumbled before walking into the locker room here all the cheerleaders were. Fixing up their hair and makeup in order to cheer
" Finally here Tae!" Maria yelled, placing down her mascara and ran to hug him
" Why are this people outside acting like this is the last game of the session. Just watch it from your damn house " Taehyung mumbled irritatedly, placing his bag down on the bench. He didn't want to be ashy out there in front of hundreds of people so he lotion up his legs and starts stretching a little
" Everyone! Listen up!" Their cheer coach said, making everyone stop what they were doing and turned to her because her voice was stern and serious
" Now, you all know that this night is very important not only for the football team but for the cheerleaders as well. This is good exposure for us. A few cheer-competitions are watching this game so Taehyung " She pointed at Taehyung who looked up at her
" We are counting on you that your cheers make us stand out out there. Everyone is watching " She pointed at everyone, making everyone nervous more then they already were. It was true though, They spend large amount of time running routines and creating new ones to make sure they are executed perfectly and to make sure everything is on point
" Don't make us more nervous than we already are, Coach" one of the other male cheerleader mumbled, placing his hands in his face
" This is good exposure and if we advance to the championship and the finales, that means more pay, and more opportunities which I know everyone wants! You all are set to go out there in five minutes " She said, hoping and praying that everything glued just as planned and the football team wins
They need this exposure
" Alright, everyone finish up so that we can get ready to go out there " Taehyung sternly said, nervous himself about going out there because this was just that important. They had a feeling that they would win because not everything can go as planned
Five minutes passed, the sound of cheering horns honking and the men on the intercom called out the Blue Knights and their cheerleaders. Everyone started to get into position, Taehyung standing in the front because he was the captain, Maria and Bàllaria going second to third while everyone else followed
" I'm just the messenger but I heard the cheerleaders can't cheer for jackshit"
" What happened to good cheerleaders spirit?" Taehyung placed his hand on his hips as she shrugged. " I do have good sportsmanship but that team can't play for shit-"
" Their cheer team name is literally called "The Purple Puffs" I'm not being rude but what type of cheer name is that?" Maria asked while looking at Taehyung
" I know right? We call ourselves "The Gold Elites", they could have did better with the team name "
" Quit being rude!" Bàllaria hissed, hitting her on the shoulder as she pouted and nodded her head. Standing behind Taehyung until they call for the cheerleaders to come outside on the field
" To cheer for the Paris Saints, welcome to the field, The Golden Elites! "
Taehyung took a deep breath and marched out there, waving his pompoms in the air at the crowd of people that were whistling and hollering at the group of beautiful and talented cheerleaders
Lights almost blinded Taehyung as he waved at the crowd, his picture being taken somewhere. He lead his group on the opposite side of the other cheek cheerleaders. He happily shook his pompoms at the footballers who greeted him respectfully
Maria yelled, "Are they pointing at us?" She couldn't hear herself speak over the loud cheering, music, and men's voices on the intercom. Taehyung squinted to see that Maria was correct. The unorganized group of cheerleaders were indeed pointing at them
They were snickering and giggled like some immature six year old
" Their uniform remind me of Barney and the dude that's in the trash can, do they really have room to talk about us?!? We look great!" Maria gasped out and Taehyung rolled his eyes at his friends
As Taehyung was forced to hear his friend talking shit, he turned around and scanned the crowd of people, hoping to find Jungkook among them. However, he couldn't see Jungkook, despite looking in the spot where he normally sits. Jungkook used to never miss a game. He would always watch
Maria and Bàllaria looked at each other, seeing that something was wrong with their captain who was looking at the crowd desperately
"Tae, why do you look so worried? Is everything okay?" Maria worried asked, watching Taehyung but his bottom lip before looking at the crowd again
Taehyung shook his head, expressing uncertainty regarding Jungkook's attendance at the upcoming game. The two had a disagreement, and now Taehyung was unsure if Jungkook would show up.
Despite Jungkook's usual dedication to attending every game, Taehyung couldn't see him in the crowd. Taehyung tried not to worry too much, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed that his husband wasn't there to support him like he usually was
Bàllaria chimed in, "Don't worry, Tae. Jungkook loves you. He'll be here! I don't think he would miss this big event for one little fight. You know him better than that " Bàlleria stated, trying her best to comfort him even though she couldn't move from her position
Taehyung wasn't convinced...if Jungkook wanted to be there, then he would have been there already. The game starts in six minutes and it looks like he just wasn't going to show up this time
"But what if he's still mad at me?" Taehyung trailed off, looking down at his pompoms, trying his best to hold back his tears because he didn't really want to miss it up but he really could care less
He didn't care for his makeup, he just wanted his husband
Taehyung softly nodded his head, flinching when he heard the loud sound of drums and music playing, watching the team that he cheered for running out into the field. Indicating that he game was about to start and football players were starting to get in position. He took another look into the crowd
Still no Jungkook
Taehyung took a deep breather and tried to take his friends words to heart, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that sunk deep in his stomach. He couldn't bear the thought of dancing and cheering without his husband there to watch.
As the game began, Taehyung took to the field with his friends by his side, but his heart just wasn't in it. All he could think about was Jungkook, and if he would show up. Taehyung forced giant smile on his face, waving his pompoms in the air as the music started, the crowd cheering and going crazy
His team started to play as he performed, he found himself getting lost in the music and movements. His nerves faded away as he spun, jumped and shook his pom-poms, trying to bring some energy to the field
He didn't realize that football players would be so damn rough with one another, the constant slamming into one another and rolling all over the ground
The mixture of loud, tuning music and the sound of Taehyung cheering yelling could probably make him lose his voice the morning after. He was in his own little world as he cheerled, showing off to the other cheerleading teams that he wasn't there to play
He wasn't there to play any games, he was going to show the other teams that as a captain, he was going to work hard and show off all of what he came there for. Plus, the other team sucked ass but anyways
"Wow, Tae! You are doing great!" Maria said to him excitedly, waving her pompoms in his face, jumping up and down as he walked the teams tackle each other or what ever the hell they do in football. Everything was going pretty great, their teams was doing a good job and the crowd was loving it greatly
"Yes! you are killing it! The other team looks so intimated because we have the best captain~" Ballaria added, sticking her tongue out at the other teams
" Quit it, " Taehyung laughed, beamed at them, feeling proud of himself. But still, there was a part of him that couldn't help but wish Jungkook was there to see him. It was just a big feelings for him
" The first quarter of the game is almost over. I think we have two more cheers and then we can take a few minutes to get some water but then we have to return to the field!" Bàllaria yelled, trying to communicate with the rest of the cheerleaders but everyone was so loud that he could barely even hear them
Taehyung sighed a little, putting that boxy smile back on his face as he started to cheer again, hyping up the crowd that was smiling and waving at himself. It made him happy knowing that many people truly loved him being the cheer captain
He had the least amount of experience compared to the other since he only started cheering during 6th grade while everyone else was doing it since they were born. But, they all choose him to be the captain
He would be forever blessed that he was given the opportunity to cheer, he was living his dream
" I-I need w-water!" Maria panted when they got done with the cheer, it was now a quarter into the game and now they got a fifteen minter break
" Go gets some water babes" Taehyung laughed, walking over to bench and grabbed himself a water. As he was chugging it down, Ballaria grabbed his arm, tugging on it harshly, damn near choking on her water. He looked at her like she was crazy
" Got damn bitch what the fuck is it?" Taehyung asked frantically, almost dropping his water because of his hard and rough she was grabbing him
She pushed him and jumped up and down, pointing to the crowd, his eyes widening when he saw Jungkook standing their, roses in his hand just like he always does whenever Taehyung goes to a game
" He came " Taehyung smiled a little, looking at him. He needed to talk to him so he excused himself before walking into the crowd of people, going up the stairs before he was eye to eye with his husband
" I-I didn't think you'd come..." Taehyung trailed, his heart jumping up and down the moment that he was able to come and speak to his husband
Did you think that I would miss this important moment for you?" Jungkook asked, as he checked the time and confirmed that they still had five minutes to chat before Taehyung had to return to the field
Taehyung felt bad that he thought that way but, it just looked like he wasn't going to come
" I know you don't have a lot of time to talk, so we can talk after the game? " Jungkook asked, knowing that Taehyung was tired and needing to reset before he needed to go out a cheer
Taehyung nodded his head, knowing Jungkook was right
" We will talk after the game okay? Good luck out there" Jungkook kissed him on the forehead as he watched Taehyung walk out to the field. He grabbed his pompom and got back into place
He watched the rest of the cheerleaders do the same as the sound of horns was all that could hear when both teams got back out onto the field
Taehyung stood straight as he started cheering once again and the cheerleaders following one by one. He moves in a dominos effect, capturing the applause from the crowd and grabbing their attention
Taehyung was good at multitasking as he watched the teams that he cheers for get knocked and down and knocked around. They probably weren't loosing but that was probably the way you play football
Rolling around in glass with a ball
" Our teams is doing good!" Maria yelled, trying to get her friends attention but she could barely hear over the loud cheers that were going on. The crowds started to go crazy out of no where
Ballaria looked around before looking at the score board, both teams were neck and neck. Both have an even score amount of twenty and twenty
" You guys...the scores, that are even...is this the last round?" Taehyung asked nervously as he saw that the teams were neck and neck, who ever wins this round will score and go to the finals
Anxiety filled the air as everyone watched the teams push and tackle each other to the ground. The chaos resulted in some painful-looking collisions, with players landing on top of each other
Taehyung and the cheerleaders stood nervously on the sidelines, watching their favorite team as they struggled on the field a little. Every tackle made them wince, every mistake made them hold their breath. It seemed like everything was going wrong and their team was going to lose because they kept falling
The tension was almost unbearable, as players on both sides fought fiercely. Taehyung could barely stand to watch, but he couldn't look away. He had been looking forward to this game for weeks and had dreamed of seeing his team win
The constant hours of practicing, was it all going to be a waste of time or were they going to win?
But as the minutes ticked by, it seemed like victory was slipping from their grasp. Taehyung could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he watched another player go down, his team struggling to get up
It was difficult to imagine a happy ending to this story. But then, against all odds, Taehyung's team began to rally. They fought back with determination and skill, scoring goal after goal until they had secured the lead
Taehyung could barely believe what he was seeing. He felt like jumping up and down with excitement, but he restrained himself. There was still time left, and anything could happen
Finally, the whistle blew and the final score was announced
All eyes were fixed on the referee as hegave a thumbs up to one of the Paris Saints players, signaling that his tackle had been successful and the team had earned another point. This caused everyone to freeze still in anticipation of what was to come next
"The Paris Saints have gathered twenty one scored points, pulling them ahead of the Blue knights in the final game!"
The sound of the men on the intercom made everyone screamed in happiness. Taehyung couldn't believe his ears when he saw the score board and his team went from twenty to twenty one point. Ultimately beating the Blue Knights and winning the game
THEY WON!!!" Taehyung shouted with happiness. The cheerleaders gathered around each other, and Maria covered his mouth in excitement. Ballaria jumped onto him, and tears streamed down everyone's faces as they realized they had made it to the finals. It was a dream come true
" I-I can't believe this! We are heading to the finals!" The green eyes girl cried out. She watched as her teammates celebrated with red and gold confetti filling the air. It was a joyous moment for everyone
"The Paris Saints claimed victory in the game, qualifying them for the finals next month!"
The men on the intercoms shouted through the loud and big cheers of the fans going crazy in the crowd. The colors red and gold, their team colors, being sprayed with confetti in the air, the amount of hard work and tears shedding, it was all paid off
" Tae! Reports are coming are near us! What if they want to talk to us? " Maria screamed, making Bàllària look at the reports that where heading to the group of cheerleaders. Taehyung looked into the crowd to see Jungkook heading towards the exit
He frowned and turned to his friends
" You guys can get to chatting with the reporters, I'm going to head outside for a bit " Taehyung placed a hand on Maria's shoulder as she nodded. Taehyung wanted to talk to Jungkook, he needed too
