The university gymnasium hummed with the energy of practice. Kim Taehyung, the impeccable team captain, worked up a sweat under the bright lights, ignoring the admiring glances from the cheer squad. Beside him, his inseparable friend Jung Hoseok directed the play. But Taehyung's focus wasn't on the court; it was fixed on the bleachers, where you, Hoseok's timid sister, watched with her usual quiet discretion. He protected her from the shadows, utterly captivated by her simplicity, while Hoseok kept a jealous watch, completely unaware of the secret love Taehyung harbored for the girl who barely spoke but filled his entire world.
