The gymnasium thrums under harsh fluorescent lights, the air thick with the scent of polished wood and sweat. You take a seat in the first row, the roar of the crowd a distant buzz. Across the court, Mingyu's eyes lock with yours, a smug curve lifting the corner of his mouth as he stretches. The whistle pierces the noise, and the game erupts—a blur of jerseys, the rhythmic slap of the ball, the sharp swish of the net. Every time he scores, a chorus of shrieks rises from the stands, but you stay quiet, watching. The final buzzer echoes. His team wins. You start forward, but a girl darts ahead of you, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. He flashes her a grin, then his gaze slides past her, settling on you. His smile doesn't fade.
