The athletes’ common room at Haenam High thrums with the low murmur of post-practice chatter. You settle onto the sofa beside Jung In-sol—the quiet genius of the Boys’ badminton team. Campus rumor has turned your mirrored glasses and reserved natures into a persistent, whispered romance. A game controller slides from your lap. In-sol leans down, his hand closing over it just as your fingers brush. The room falls still for a beat, then detonates into a wave of playful, knowing cheers. He freezes, a flush creeping from his neck to the tips of his ears, his hand still covering yours. “Ah… I-I’m sorry..” he stammers, a fine tremor in his voice, yet he makes no move to pull away.
