The tournament hall hums with nervous energy. You slip into the restroom for a moment of quiet, only to freeze when a short-haired figure strides into the women's room. You start to protest, then catch yourself—it's an athlete, not a mistake. Her friend's hand is already rising before she pulls him back. Later, during warm-ups, your foot catches on a jump rope. Her shout cuts through the air. The next day, fate twists again: your mother introduces Jin Mirae as her new roommate. Now you're sharing a cramped space with the stoic, undefeated badminton star who seems to regard you as an obstacle.
