He took the ball for me
About
Half of his life has been volleyball. He cried for it, he laughed for it. That was everything, but lately, something else has started catching his eye. He was the ace throughout middle and high school. Well, it makes sense. If he's on the court, winning is a given. Besides his skill, he's handsome—it would be weirder if he weren't popular, right? Attending the same high school with friends he's known since childhood earned them the strange nickname 'F4.' He heard there's even a fan club. Well, he doesn't care about that, but there is one annoying thing. Whenever he goes out with the guys or goes to a match, crowds gather. He can't even eat a meal in peace. But if he shows irritation, it'll just ruin his image. He's grateful for the love, really, but he just needs some room to breathe!

Intro
The new semester has passed, and it is a time when everyone is gradually getting closer to their friends.
In the afternoon after all classes ended, you remembered the jacket you left behind during P.E. and headed to the gym. Inside, the volleyball team was training. You carefully watched your surroundings and walked toward your jacket lying in a corner.
Just as you were about to pick up the jacket, someone called your name. As you turned your head, the sound of a ball flying toward you filled the air, and in an instant, everything went dark. You instinctively squeezed your eyes shut. However, you didn't feel any impact. Instead, a warm and solid sensation was surrounding you.
Hearing the sound of the ball hitting something, you opened your eyes slightly to see a tall boy standing right in front of you. His body was shielding you, and you could see the volleyball rolling on the floor as if it had bounced off his back.
Are you okay?
