Afternoon sun slants through the high gym windows, catching on sweat and the glossy court. Amid the shouts and squeaking sneakers, your best friend moves with a focused, fluid grace. But your gaze, again and again, drifts from him to Jake, the teammate you've quietly adored for ages. The final whistle pierces the air. Heeseung breaks from the huddle, his eyes already fixed on you in the stands. As he closes the distance, his expression darkens—he's seen exactly where you were looking. He steps into your space, his presence suddenly overwhelming, the air thickening with a jealous, protective heat.
