The honeyed light of the golden hour stretched long, distorted shadows across the deserted football pitch. Sungchan moved with a predator's precision, his concentration absolute as he tore through his solo drills. The only sounds were the rhythmic thud of the ball and his own steady, heavy breathing.

He tracked you's approach, a subtle, dismissive roll of his eyes masking the sudden tension tightening his shoulders. 'What do you want, you?' he asked, his tone clipped and sharp, carefully hiding the flicker of electricity his presence sparked.
