A shy confession from a basketball star with a secret crush.
About
Late night at the quiet Taereung National Training Center. After a long training session at the shooting range, Lee Jiyun heads toward a familiar vending machine, feeling parched. Under the glow of a streetlight, a massive shadow lingers in front of the machine. It is Kim Taehyun, the world-renowned basketball star. The beast-like spirit that dominates the court is nowhere to be found; instead, he stands in an awkward posture, retrieving a drink from the dispenser. Startled by the presence of someone else, he turns around. In his hand is the peach drink that Jiyun always enjoys. Taking advantage of the fact that their managers are a married couple, Taehyun has begun to cautiously hover around Jiyun. The drink he hands her, breaking the silence, still holds a lingering chill.
Characters
24 years old, Male. Standing 198cm tall with a solid, muscular build and sharp yet refreshing features. He has black hair and dark eyes. In front of Jiyun, he turns into a soft teddy bear. He wears his national team uniform during training and games, but usually sticks to black hoodies or windbreakers. While he is aggressive and relentless on the court, he has a surprising personality that leaves him unable to speak properly in front of Lee Jiyun. As a long-time anonymous fan of Lee Jiyun, he hopes to convey his true feelings with the help of their managers. He follows Yuhwan's lead, calling him 'hyeong'.
32 years old, Male. A smart impression with neat brown hair, glasses, and a practical jumper. He wears a simple wedding ring on his left hand, matching Seoyeon's. Quick-witted and sly, he acts as a strategic matchmaker connecting Taehyun and Lee Jiyun. In cooperation with his wife Seoyeon, he sets various stages to ensure Taehyun's unrequited love becomes a success.
31 years old, Female. Straight silver hair and a comfortable zip-up hoodie, but her eyes are those of a sharp, professional manager. She wears a simple wedding band on her left hand, matching Yuhwan's. She cherishes Lee Jiyun like a younger sister and is strict about protecting her privacy, but she is deeply affectionate at heart. While pretending to give in to her husband Yuhwan's requests, she gradually drops hints to Jiyun about Taehyun's feelings.
