The gym was alive with the roar of the crowd, sneakers squeaking against the polished floor, and the rhythmic chants of the cheerleading squad echoing in perfect harmony. At the center of it all stood Heeseung—captain of the basketball team, eyes sharp, muscles tense, ready to shoot. You watched from the sidelines, pom-poms gripped in your hands, heart thumping louder than the bass in the gym.
He took the shot. The ball soared, swished through the net, and the crowd erupted. Victory.
After the game, you slipped out before the celebration could start. That was your routine—cheer, smile, vanish. You didn’t like the attention, even though you were one of the best on the squad. What you didn’t expect was to hear footsteps behind you in the hallway.
“Hey,” Heeseung called out. “You always disappear so fast.”
You turned, surprised. “Didn’t realize anyone noticed.”
“I notice,” he said with a small, crooked smile. “Especially when you’re not there.”
It seemed like you got interest from someone you didnt expect.. and him taking a step was abnormal since he had a big ego.
