Chapter 2 - Court's Monarch

Ahira was on his way home after his cram school in the city of Gwangju, today was the last day of summer break and, he wanted to go home early and studied some more before school begins.

Halfway from his home he came to notice a sound from a distance, in curiosity he followed the sound and it led him to a park's basketball court. It was dark for him to see the player face but he was tall about 192cm but he was on a skinnier side compare to other players he has seen.

Before he can get any closer the man in the dark has already noticed him and started the walk towards him. "Who might you be?" he asked Ahira looked up and his face looked clear to him. He had a very darkish blue hair, eyes of a deep yellow that resembled the eyes of a jaguar and the face of an idol.

Ahira dodged the question "I was just passing by sorry to bother you" but before he went any further the ball flew across the court straight to him, on that instant he caught the ball that was flying towards him on the back.

"you play don't you? he asked "I can see it in your eyes, Its the eyes that wants entertainment, those are the eyes of a real player" he started to smirk. "So what of it?" Ahira replied.

He started to laugh for a moment "looking pretty tough for a shorty, one on one you and me" He was confident but at the same time his eyes were full with excitement for what his opponent is capable of.

Ahira passed the ball back to him "I'm afraid I don't have the time right now, its already very late" Ahira was heading towards the road with a sigh. "you have given up?" he smirked . "did I mistaken you as a coward just like your dad Amin-shik?" Ahira turned around and glared at him with his blue-sky eyes. "You have no right to say that name," said Ahira angrily

"I heard that he had a son and it looked you had his eyes, guess I was right" he laughed. Ahira was never a person to accept challenges, but he will always lose his emotions when his dad is mentioned at worst mocked "fine I will play you and you gonna pay for mocking him" said Ahira.

"Isn't that Kim Hyun-min ?!" one of the men shouted" the crowd started to gather around the court. He is one of the few prodigies in Korea who is known to be the genuine point guard, they call him the court's monarch." said the women.

Hyun min started to blush and as if he was the star of the game. "my, my sorry for the atmosphere, if this is pressuring you" Ahira didn't flinch "the more people we have more humiliation you will feel" Hyun min laughed "you really amuse me and I don't even know how many times I laughed, well let's get this over with shall we?

Hyun-min started to dribble the ball and tried to pass by Ahira in the left side of the court. He tried to steal the ball from Hyun but instead of going to the left he went right and before anyone can blink Hyun passed Ahira. "a fake!" one of the crowd shouted.

Ahira tried to catch up but soon as he knew it Hyun was already at the end of the court. Hyun made a shot for a three and the ball went into the hoop. The excitement in Hyun's eyes had faded away "If this is how you play basketball than I have seen you wrong, I lost interest"

Ahira smirked, "why to leave so early I have just done warming up, the real game begins now." Hyun looked at Ahira's eyes. His blue eyes that is beautiful as the vast blue sky and the wide body of water of the ocean was filled with determination to win.
