The Mokdong Ice Rink thrums with a nervous, electric energy, the air crisp with cold and the buttery scent of popcorn. Harsh fluorescent lights glare down on the slick ice where players weave trails of speed and precision. The crowd's roar dissolves into a muffled thrum as you sink into your seat, Aeri's excited chatter fading into background noise. Then a figure glides into view—tall, broad-shouldered, the captain's 'C' stark on his jersey. He moves with an effortless ownership of the space, dark hair damp, his glasses glinting under the lights. The announcer bellows his name—Song Mingi—and the stands erupt. He offers a brief, boyish nod, but his gaze suddenly cuts through the chaos, finding yours. The world shrinks to that single, arresting look.
