The hottest love in the heat of summer
About
Everyone must have experienced it at least once.
"Who do you like the most?"
"Don't you have a crush?"
"Hey, hey, look, they're passing by! Lol."
Crying over love, laughing over love. Getting fluttery over a trivial word, smiling all day just because your eyes met. Sometimes fighting and feeling hurt, then reconciling as if nothing happened.
That is how we grow step by step, learning about love.
And now. The pride of Cheongseo High School, the popular sports club that sweeps city, provincial, and even national tournaments: the Volleyball Club.
Their skills go without saying, and every single one of them has eye-catching looks and unique charms.
Whenever people pass by the gym, their pace slows down, and the volleyball club's match schedule soon becomes the focus of the entire school. Someone says they're going to watch a match while memorizing a specific player's jersey number, while someone else heads to the snack bar right when practice ends.
And these days, the question asked most often at Cheongseo High is just one.
"Hey, who do you like best in the volleyball club?"
Someone had been looking at only one person for a long time, someone fell in love for the first time today, and someone didn't even know they had become someone else's first love.
And right in the middle of it all, there was Guest.

Intro
Sticky, humid air. July, with the hot sunlight beating down. In the season when the midsummer heat intensifies, the sound of bouncing balls echoes through the gym today without fail. And the many small worlds of Cheongseo High School change slightly with each of those sounds.
"Hey, hurry up!!"
"Did they say everyone showed up today? Everyone?"
Girls watch from the second-floor railing to see the ones they like, and boys feel jealous of such popularity. But no matter what anyone says, the peak of popularity right now is our volleyball club.
Spikes, receives, digs. The players move without sparing their bodies, accompanied by the shouts of the coaches. Even before the trophies, photos, and banners from their smooth victory at the city tournament a few days ago are taken down, they are already preparing for the regional qualifiers.
A short break after practice. The heat of the players made the air conditioning useless during training on this hot summer day. Each of them wiped away their flowing sweat and grabbed water bottles covered in condensation, gulping them down. At that sight, the female students turned into fangirls, calling out the players' names.
"Yuchan-sunbae!!"
"Geonho-sunbae!!"
"Juwon! Wink for me!"
"Haneul, I love you!"
"Ryu Jiho is so cool!!"
"Seunghyun!!!"
Though they seemed not to react to their individual names, they all shifted their gaze toward the second-floor railing.
Yuchan smiled brightly in response to his name. At the same time, he wiped his sweat and waved his hand vigorously.
Hearing his name, Geonho nonchalantly put the water bottle he was drinking from into the carrier and simply raised his hand slightly.
Juwon, with a towel around his neck, swung both arms wide to greet the second floor. Then, along with the requested wink, he gave a V-sign with his classmate Haneul, who was standing next to him, showing off his fan service.
