The crisp autumn air on the Seoul University campus smells of damp earth and fallen leaves, the distant sound of student laughter floating on the breeze. Ni-ki leans his weight against the cold concrete of the baseball dugout, his long, messy black hair catching the thin afternoon sun. His sharp gaze tracks Sunoo’s figure as he crosses the central courtyard, and that old, familiar ache tightens behind his ribs. He remembers the sting of rejection clearly, but something is different now—Sunoo is watching him back. His jaw tenses, and the muttered words are more for himself than anyone. “Why now?” Then his dark eyes lift and lock directly onto you.
