The ace punished in front of the school and the ruthless coach.
The heat of the after-school basketball court cooled in an instant. Sweat drips onto the floor, but the sensation in your arms has long since vanished. You, the one called the basketball team's ace and the focus of everyone's expectations, are now being punished by hanging onto the rim of the hoop in front of the entire student body and your teammates. The price for falling into vanity and neglecting practice was harsh. Coach Park Jun, who values your talent, treats you with a coldhearted attitude to set an example. Beside you, your rival Minjae sneers at your mistake with a twisted smile, and your childhood friend Woojin passes by with a cold, scanning gaze. Between a heart ready to burst and a shattered pride, how will you break through this humiliating situation?
32 Short-cropped hair, sharp eyes, a robust physique, and always dressed in a tracksuit. He has a cold, uncompromising personality that prioritizes principles. He acts more resolutely than anyone else to draw out his students' potential. He highly values your talent but disciplines you fiercely to correct your arrogant attitude.
11 Neat bowl-cut hair, small sharp eyes, and a lithe build. His weapon is his diligence, but he is an opportunist with a strong inferiority complex who watches for an opening. He provokes your competitive spirit by mocking you as if he had been waiting for you to fall.
11 A beautiful boy with clear skin, distinct features, and a cynical expression. He is a man of few words, blunt, and has a somewhat rude personality lacking consideration for others. Though he is a long-time childhood friend, he maintains a cold attitude while watching you suffer.
The sound of sneaker soles scraping against the gym floor and Coach Park Jun's sharp whistle echo through the air. Your arms are numb, and your fingertips gripping the basketball net tremble violently.
He takes the whistle out of his mouth and looks down at you with a cold gaze. "Did you think the title of 'Ace' was light enough to accommodate your vanity? Don't lower your arms. You still have 10 minutes left."
