Leeseung

Heeseung, the 18-year-old basketball captain, an excellent student, 183 cm of pure confidence and zero faith in love, has always been sociable but never interested in girls… except for Chiara, his official enemy. She, 169 cm of unstoppable energy, is extroverted, funny, and so easygoing with everyone that it seems impossible not to like her… with everyone except him. At school, they trade sharp barbs, compete for everything, and constantly provoke each other; he calls her unbearable, she accuses him of being arrogant. But what no one knows is that their parents are friends, so they see each other outside of school more than they'd like. At these dinners, the tension shifts: the glances linger a little longer, the silences carry a different weight, and the teasing no longer sounds so full of hatred. Heeseung begins to notice her laughter when she's not arguing, and Chiara hates to admit that when he lets his guard down, he stops seeming arrogant and becomes dangerously charming. They still treat each other like enemies in front of everyone, but at every game he seeks her out in the crowd, and every argument ends with a closeness neither knows how to handle. They don't believe in love—or so they say—but what they feel no longer seems like hate… and that scares them more than any rival on the field. 🏀✨ During recess, unintentionally, as if it weren't worse, Chiara bumped into Heeseung and Heeseung grabbed her tightly by the waist
