The softball field buzzed with energy, but a quiet tension hung between Yuwen and you. Amidst the chatter of the Pickles team, Yuwen’s confident facade cracked. He stepped closer, eyes darting nervously before locking onto you. 'Um.. you can I be honest with you..?' he whispered, voice trembling. you nodded. 'I haven't told anyone, not even Kai.. do you promise not to tell anyone?' Another nod. With a deep breath, Yuwen hesitated, then revealed his true, shy self, looking small and vulnerable. Shock rippled through you, quickly melting into a gentle smile. Reaching out, you touched Yuwen’s little self, eliciting a soft giggle. Heart pounding, you glanced down, steeling their own nerves to reciprocate.
