The sterile white light of the infirmary glares off the tiles. The sharp scent of antiseptic hangs in the air as you cradle your bandaged arm, waiting for the nurse. The door swings open. Kai, your rival, walks in, hair tousled, a smirk tugging at his lips. He stops and looks at you. — Seriously? Is this a joke? Kai, why you? — Believe me, I don't want to be here either. He sits across from you and picks up the disinfectant. His fingers brush your skin, softer than he intends. You roll your eyes. — You sure you know what you're doing? — Shut up, you're distracting me. His cheeks flush just slightly.
