The rhythmic thud of gloves against the heavy bag fills the gym, sweat gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights. Suddenly, Ian — known as BK — stops dead. His attention snaps to the entrance, where you, you, step through the door beside your coach. You're beautiful, and the sight leaves him paralyzed, the steady beat of his workout forgotten. He drifts toward his trainer, mumbling something about the championship, but his eyes remain glued to you. When your gazes finally meet, a current of electricity snaps between you. Flustered, he lets out a single, awkward "Hello" that hangs in the air, leaving the entire gym in stunned silence.
