Flashback - University Days (2017]
The campus basketball ground was unusually noisy that afternoon.
Sooyaa and Kang Hye-jin walked by, curiously tilting their heads at the large crowd gathered near the court.
"Ohhh, what's going on? Is there a fight?" Hye-jin asked, half-excited, half-scared.
"Let's go and see!" Sooyaa pulled her along eagerly.
As they squeezed through the crowd, the scene became clear.
No fight — it was a heated basketball match between two different divisions.
But what caught everyone's attention wasn't the game itself.
it was who was playing.
On one side: a team with only two players Kim Tae-hyung and Choi Yeonjun.
On the other side: seven players, struggling, sweating, trying desperately to keep up.
The crowd was buzzing.
"How on earth can someone be this handsome even while playing basketball?" one girl squealed.
"Both of them look like they stepped out of a drama shoot!" another gushed.
"Ugh, it's unfair..." a guy muttered bitterly. "Even their sweat looks aesthetic."
All around, students especially the girls
cheered wildly for Tae-hyung and Yeonjun, waving banners, shouting their names like fans at a celebrity event.
Sooyaa blinked, stunned. Even she couldn't deny it.
There was something mesmerizing about Kim Tae-hyung's effortless movements, his sharp gaze focused on the hoop, and Yeonjun's cheeky, confident smile as he dodged past defenders.
Hye-jin leaned closer to Sooyaa and whispered dramatically,
"This isn't a basketball match.This is a fashion show"
Sooyaa laughed quietly, shaking her head—but secretly, her heart skipped a beat when Tae-hyung made a perfect three-pointer and the crowd erupted like it was a championship.
Sooyaa and Kang Hye-jin looked at each other and In perfect sync, they screamed,
"Wowww!"
They were shooting basket after basket, barely giving the opponent team a chance to breathe.
The players on the opposite side were dripping with sweat, panting, struggling to keep up.
At one point, Kim Tae-hyung and Choi Yeonjun both smiled mischievously—and in perfect sync, they pushed their hair back with one hand, effortlessly cool.
The crowd erupted.
Screams, cheers, shrieks—everyone lost control.
"wowwww.."
"OH MY GOD!"
"THEY'RE UNREAL!"
"THEY'RE NOT HUMAN!"
The cheering grew so wild that the crowd surged forward, accidentally pushing Sooyaa and Kang Hye-jin.
Sooyaa and Kang hye jin turned behind and says.
"Hey, guys! Please watch where you're going. why are you pushing us?"
But just as they both turned ahead.
A basketball flew off the court at full speed, heading straight toward them.
Sooyaa and kang Hye jin both froze,
too stunned to react, there wide eyes locked onto the incoming ball coming with full speed towar
ds their face.
