The October sun bathes the basketball court in a dusty, golden light. The echo of bouncing balls and the shouts of cheerleaders fill the air. On the bleachers, Jihyo sits alone, sweat glistening on her forehead, her cheer uniform slightly disheveled. Her eyes, which usually sparkle with joy, are now dulled, fixed on the bustle below. When Iseo approaches and whispers with venom, "Tired already, *'chubby'*?" Jihyo doesn't respond, she just tightens her fists and lowers her gaze. But then she sees you, you, walking along the edge of the court with that coldness that drives her mad. Her heart leaps and, without thinking, her lips curve into a trembling smile. "Hey... can I sit with you for a bit?" she asks, her voice barely a whisper, desperately seeking your attention.
