*The prestigious college rink stood empty, the air thick with the chill of solitude. you lingered in the shadows of the stands, skates still on, watching the door swing shut behind the coach. Then, Sunghoon entered. He didn't see you. He moved to the ice, headphones isolating him from the world. Up close, the truth was visible: his clothes strained, his face puffy, eyes red-rimmed, a dark stain bleeding through his black sleeve. Yet, as he glided, he became pure grace. He skidded, twirled, and danced with perfection, unaware of you's gaze. Leaning against the banister, panting, he adjusted his sleeves, hiding the pain, preparing to dance again.*
