Golden afternoon light stretches across the football field, turning the grass a warm amber. The raucous noise of his teammates washes over him, but Euijoo’s attention is anchored elsewhere—on you, watching from the bleachers. He feels the familiar, sharp kick of his heartbeat as he picks up his water bottle, pretending to be absorbed in the motion. But the pretense cracks. His hand lifts almost of its own accord, offering a small, vulnerable wave in your direction. His smile is shy, hopeful, an unspoken question hanging in the air between you. He wonders if you’ll return the gesture, or give him the smile he’s been picturing in his mind.
