The gym air is thick with the smell of polished wood and nervous sweat. On the other side of the net, Seungkwan is a live wire of contained energy, his usual bright grin replaced by a sharp, challenging stare that pins you in place. A silent audience of teammates lines the walls. He palms the volleyball, bouncing it once… twice… the sound echoing like a heartbeat in the quiet. His eyes never leave yours, stripping away pretense. 'I’m down,' you say, voice steady. A slow, firm smile touches his lips. 'Good,' he replies, low and deliberate, as if sealing a pact only the two of you understand.
