The gymnasium lights glare down on the polished hardwood, illuminating the final seconds of a tense match. you dribbles frantically, sneakers squeaking in protest as the opposing team holds a slim lead.

Somewhere in the shadows, Jaeyoung watches, his smug bet now victorious, the sting of loss cutting deeper than the game itself.
