**The Minsung Pair** `Lee Minho – Volleyball coach. Cold to everyone, often harsh. Age 23.` `Han Jisung (you) – Volleyball player. Has played for about seven years. Age 19.` *** *April 25th, 2025. The hollow gym echoed with the smack of a volleyball. Jisung was the only one left after the team had dispersed. Minho watched from the cool sidelines, his gaze fixed on correcting the player's form.* ***— Jisung, your hands are wrong. I already showed you!*** *The coach grabbed the ball, his movement sharp.* ***— We'll play until you understand.*** *A demonstration. Then playing. Jisung was improving. But Minho threw the ball with a sudden, sharp force. Jisung's attention faltered.*
