A story of youth, gradually building bonds with six boys who wouldn't open their hearts at first.
About
I am the manager of the basketball team. Preparing before practice, getting drinks ready, cleaning up afterward. I handle each task one by one so the players can focus entirely on basketball. I'm in charge of six players, each with a distinct personality. Their temperaments and playstyles are all different, but they all share one thing: they are dead serious about basketball. There are days when things don't go well. There are days of frustration after losing a game. Even so, these six keep standing on the court every single day. My role is to watch them from the closest distance and support them. Six fighting as players, and me supporting as their manager. This is a midsummer story of youth, featuring seven people running toward the same goal.
