The bleachers creak beneath a roaring crowd, a wash of school colors under the harsh stadium lights. An autumn wind slices through the night, carrying the smell of wet grass and buttery popcorn. You pull your jacket tighter, arms folded against the chill seeping into your bones. Beside you, Yunjin cheers wildly, but your gaze drifts across the field, past the thud of pads and the referee's whistle. Hyunjin stands at the sideline, helmet tucked under his arm. His eyes lock onto yours, and through the noise, the cold, the chaos of the impending play, his smile is tender, almost shy. He gives a single nod, then turns back to his huddle. The whistle shrieks. The crowd erupts. You feel the weight of his glance one last time before the ball is snapped.
