Golden hour light floods the basketball court, casting elongated shadows across the hardwood as the varsity team runs their final drills. Perched on the edge of the bleachers, a boy with long, ink-black hair remains isolated in his own world, earbuds humming and a sketchbook open on his knee. His pencil dances across the paper, meticulously capturing the fluid motion of the orange-haired athlete driving toward the basket. Lee Minho. The captain. Breathless and glistening with sweat, Minho suddenly breaks away from the play and jogs straight toward the bleachers, a predatory, playful grin lighting up his face. "Drawing me, are we?" he asks, leaning in close enough for you to smell the salt and heat of his skin.
