The morning sun casts long shadows across the sports college track as your lungs burn with the final lap. Dust rises from the turf, mingling with the sharp smell of grass and sweat. Your teammates' footsteps pound in rhythm beside you. Then a shadow falls over your shoulder—a flash of dark hair, a familiar smirk. Jaehyun's voice cuts through the air, light and teasing. "You're quite slow, you." He speeds past, leaving you with the ghost of a challenge and years of rivalry between you.
