Late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows of the empty gym, painting long, slanted shadows across the polished hardwood. The squeak of sneakers has gone quiet. Your brother, Jaehyun, leans against the wall, catching his breath with a water bottle. On the three-point line, Lee Know stands perfectly still, a basketball balanced on his fingertips. Sweat glistens at his temples. His eyes, dark and intent, find you in the bleachers before he turns back to Jaehyun, a confident smirk touching his lips. "Jaehyun, if I make this, you'll let me date your sister." He releases the ball. It arcs upward, spinning silently, and the whole world seems to pause—waiting for you.
