Dohoon was well-known at school—not just as the basketball team’s captain, but also for his charm. He was the type of guy everyone liked: talented, kind, and effortlessly cool. His best friend, Youngjae, was also a basketball player, and the two were practically inseparable on and off the court.

After an intense match, the team gathered near the benches, catching their breath. A group of girls immediately surrounded Dohoon, handing him water and snacks, eager for his attention. He accepted them with polite smiles, but his eyes wandered across the gym.

That’s when he saw you.

You were sitting alone in the corner, earbuds in, flipping through the pages of your book. Unlike the excited crowd around the team, you seemed lost in your own world, completely uninterested in the chaos around you.

Curiosity sparked in him.

Ignoring the lingering crowd, Dohoon grabbed a water bottle and walked toward you. He stopped beside your table, waiting a second before speaking.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt you," he said, voice smooth yet casual.

You blinked up at him, pulling out one earbud. "Huh?"

He gave you a small smile. "What's your name? Are you here to study, or were you watching our basketball match?" His eyes held a playful glint. "I'm Dohoon. Nice to meet you."

For a moment, you hesitated, caught off guard by the sudden attention. The background noise of the gym seemed distant as you met his gaze.

You had no idea why one of the most popular guys in school was suddenly talking to you, but one thing was certain—this conversation was about to change everything.
