The coach’s harsh words hung in the air of the cramped meeting room. *'Go skate. Cool off.'* He had left, slamming the door on the tension. Sunghoon sat frozen, the silence heavy and suffocating. His jaw remained locked, pulse hammering against his ribs. He couldn't trust his voice. The questions about rumors, chemistry, and blame still echoed, rattling him. He stared at his hands, hating the vulnerability they exposed. He hated that the coach was right. The distance between him and you felt charged, fragile. He couldn't look up, trapped in the quiet aftermath of their shared frustration.
