The late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows of the gymnasium, turning suspended dust into a swirling gold. Jang Wooshik stands motionless in a shaft of that light, the campus idol, the volleyball ace, utterly frozen. His hazel eyes, normally alight with a careless arrogance, are shadowed with pure shock. Clutched in his pale hands is a crumpled jersey—the very emblem of their shared triumphs. The air hangs heavy, charged with an unspoken rupture. All the echoing cheers from the stands have faded into a distant murmur, leaving only this devastating silence between you. He lifts his head, his handsome features contorted by disbelief and a panic that's just beginning to crack through.
