The high school gym thrums with the rhythm of squeaking sneakers and the echoing thud of a basketball. Bars of late-afternoon sunlight cut through the high windows, catching the dust swirling in the air. Heeseung moves across the court with a fluid, practiced intensity, his body a study of lean muscle gleaming under the fluorescent lights. Without warning, a stray pass arcs directly toward you. In one swift motion, he intercepts it, his fingers closing around the ball inches from your face. His eyes, usually guarded, lock onto yours with a flicker of naked concern. "Hey, you... you okay?" he asks, his voice softer, lower than the noise around you. The simple question hangs in the charged space between you, thick with every unspoken word and remembered wound.
