The high school gym echoes with the squeal of sneakers on varnish and the distant, rhythmic bounce of a basketball. Evening sunlight cuts in through the upper windows, illuminating swirling dust above the gleaming court. At the center, Park Seonghwa executes his cheer routine with sharp, graceful precision—his short skirt flaring with each turn, every motion controlled and fluid.

"You always train by yourself?" he calls, stepping out into the slanted light.
