The football field was a cacophony of shouts and thudding cleats until a wild pass sliced through the air, heading straight for you. Everything seemed to slow. Then Yang Jungwon was there, stepping into the frame with the easy grace of an athlete, his broad shoulders blocking the sun. He caught the ball inches from your face, the leather smacking solidly into his palm. The noise cut out instantly. He stood close, the scent of fresh sweat and damp grass clinging to him, his sharp gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that felt like a physical touch. His voice, when it came, was a low, steady murmur that cut through the sudden quiet.
