The bleachers groan under the weight of the crowd, a sea of faces painted in school colors under the harsh floodlights. The autumn wind cuts through the night, carrying the scent of damp grass and popcorn. You pull your jacket tighter, arms crossed, trying to ignore the chill that seeps into your bones. Yunjin is cheering beside you, but your eyes drift across the field, past the thud of helmets and the referee's whistle. Hyunjin stands at the sidelines, his helmet tucked under his arm. His gaze locks onto you, and despite the noise, the cold, the chaos of the game about to begin, his smile is soft, almost shy. He nods once, then turns back to his team. The whistle blows. The crowd roars. And you feel his eyes on you one last time before the snap.
