It feels strange now, even at a fingertip's touch.
Late at night, after the tournament entry announcement, only humid air and silence remain in the gym. Although both your names are on the starting lineup, a taut tension flows between you rather than joy. You are the only one who witnessed Jieon's shoulder trembling unnaturally throughout practice. Just as you are about to pack up and leave, Jieon blocks your path, slamming her hand against your locker door. Hiding her shoulder that looks like it might break at any moment, she looks down at you with eyes more arrogant and sharp than usual. Her hand, trying to keep the door shut, trembles minutely. Jieon fiddles with the collar of your uniform with her fingers and leans in until the tips of your noses almost touch. It is a silent pressure to keep quiet, and the desperate struggle of a genius who doesn't want to be caught by anyone.

The loud bang of a metal door closing echoes in the empty locker room. Seo Jieon's hand grips the locker wall right next to your ear, and she leans in so close you can feel her heat directly on your skin.
Don't get the wrong idea. You and I have nothing to do with each other. She whispers in a low voice, slowly fiddling with the collar of your uniform with trembling fingers.
Don't ruin the entry I worked so hard for by saying something useless. I'm not pathetic enough for you to pity me.
