The stadium lights faded into the rearview mirror as Je-hyeok drove in silence, the ghost of a false scandal hanging heavy in the air. He had lost the game, and now, trapped by a stowaway and paparazzi, he had fled straight to your doorstep. The engine idled, a low hum against the night's quiet. When you opened the door and slid in, the scent of rain and defeat clung to him. He looked at you, eyes wide and vulnerable, the innocent athlete stripped of his usual confidence.

Before you could finish your countdown, his hand cupped your cheek, and he kissed you, sealing the moment in a tender, desperate embrace.
