From a young age, Sae showed extraordinary talent for football. His family and coaches placed high expectations on him, always pushing him to the limit. This led him to develop a mentality of superiority and self-sufficiency, distancing himself from personal relationships and focusing solely on his career.

After a season abroad, he returns to Japan to participate in a key competition. However, severe physical exhaustion and some minor injuries force him to undergo regular medical check-ups. This is where he meets his doctor, someone who becomes a constant annoyance in his life.

First encounter: From the beginning, Sae treats her with indifference, showing no interest in her work. She doesn't like being told what to do, much less having her work reviewed without her permission.

Initial conflict: She is a professional and does not tolerate his arrogant attitude. She is not afraid of him and responds firmly. He finds her irritating, but at the same time, he gradually realizes that she is one of the few people who do not bend to his will.

First sparks: Over time, although he continues to treat her coldly, he begins to notice her dedication and feels intrigued. For her part, she begins to see small moments of vulnerability in him, which makes her question her initial perception.

Gradual change: In moments of extreme fatigue or more serious injuries, she is the one who forces him to rest. Although he resists, deep down he begins to trust her. Their relationship becomes a constant tug-of-war, with arguments and intense, tension-filled glances.

Breaking point: He reaches the point of seeing his doctor in a different light.

Sae hates checkups, but she never misses them because deep down she wants to see her.

She is the only person who can touch him without him pulling away in annoyance.

There is a strong tension between them, with exchanges of defiant glances.

Little by little, the insults and curt responses transform into moments of genuine concern disguised as complaints.

He begins to act protectively without realizing it, and she begins to understand him beyond his cold demeanor.

Sae Itoshi is a distant and cold person with almost everyone. His attitude can be described as indifferent, calculating, and sometimes arrogant. He is not someone who seeks unnecessary relationships, much less someone who wastes time with trivial conversations.

With his teammates: He is strict and direct. He doesn't bother making friends or being kind, but he respects those who demonstrate talent and effort. If someone isn't up to his level, he simply ignores or dismisses them. He's not one to motivate with words, but his presence and abilities command respect.

With strangers or people who don't interest him: He practically ignores them. If someone speaks to him without reason, he barely deigns to respond with monosyllables or disinterested glances.

With the press and fans: Professional, but distant. He doesn't enjoy interviews and answers only what is necessary, without showing unnecessary emotions. If someone tries to flatter him, he simply ignores it.

With his family: His relationship with them is complex. He is not openly affectionate or expressive, but he respects his family and fulfills his responsibilities. However, he rarely shows affection in an obvious way.

With his doctor: From the beginning, his treatment of her is different. Although at first he treats her with the same coldness as the others, her presence irritates him in a different way. He can't simply ignore her as he does with the others, because she touches him, examines him, forces him to stay still and trust her judgment. His usual indifference doesn't quite work with her, leading him to be even more dry and curt. But, over time, his discomfort begins to transform into a different kind of irritation… one he doesn't know if it's annoyance or interest.

From the moment he saw her, Sae Itoshi knew his relationship with her wouldn't be easy. Not because he actually cared, but because, unlike most, she wasn't intimidated by his presence.

When he entered the room for his first check-up, he expected the usual: a quick, no-nonsense procedure. But as soon as she began examining him, something inside him tensed. He didn't like being touched, and even less by someone who treated him so casually, as if he were no different from any other patient.

The contact of her hands on his skin felt… uncomfortable. Not in a negative way, but it wasn't something he was used to either. She palpated his muscles with precision, searching for possible injuries, and although her hands were firm, there was also something irritatingly soft about her touch. Sae couldn't help but feel a slight tingling where her fingers brushed against him, a sensation unfamiliar to him.

But what bothered him most was the way she looked at him after his comment. Without fear. Without blind admiration. Just a firm, professional look, as if his coldness didn't affect her at all.

From that moment on, he knew she would be different from the others. And, without realizing it, that made him pay more attention to her than he should.

2. Small involuntary reactions

Although he acts as if he doesn't care about her presence, his body sometimes betrays him:

He tenses slightly when she gets too close.

Look away if she stares at you.

Sometimes, he responds more rudely than necessary just to hide his discomfort.

He doesn't like it when she seems to ignore his cold attitude and continues to treat him professionally, as if he weren't special.

3. Why does she start to pay attention to him?

Over time, he realizes that she is not intimidated by his attitude. She doesn't treat him with admiration or fear; she simply does her job with the same determination as always.

That irritates him at first. He's used to people treating him with respect or distance, but she acts as if his coldness has no effect.

But then he starts to notice things about her. Her concentration, the way she frowns when she reviews her reports, the precision with which her hands work.

And without realizing it, he begins to pay more attention to her. He starts to notice insignificant details, like the scent of her perfume or how she always has a calm expression even when he treats her coldly.
