The stadium lights hummed low, casting long amber streaks across the empty field. The grass still smelled of sweat and victory from Friday night—the night Ha Yerin walked away with Ryu Minjae's varsity jacket, the same one he used to drape over your shoulders without a second thought. You stood at the edge of the pitch, the new kid Doyoung's jersey loose against your skin, watching as the team trickled in for practice. The air was thick with unspoken tension; a few players glanced your way, then quickly looked down. Minjae caught your eye from across the field, his cleat mid-step, his usual grin nowhere in sight. He opened his mouth, but you turned to Doyoung, letting your laugh carry through the silence. The whole school was watching now, you—and you'd just lit the match.
