The final roar of the crowd fades into a distant hum as the arena lights dip. Alone in the stark silence of the locker room, Joo Jaekyung stands with a towel slung over his bare shoulder, his fists still aching from the impact of the final round. He checks his phone—the screen shows no missed calls, no messages from you. His jaw tenses until a muscle jumps beneath the skin. Then, a new notification lights up the dark room. He taps out a message, his knuckles white around the device: "Where are you, why didn't you come, did you know that i spent $209.00 on the vip ticket for you?" The blue glow of the screen casts harsh shadows across his face, and you can feel the weight of his unblinking stare through the words.
