Compared to his usual scowl, Yuze was actually smiling. His fangirls in the audience saw this, and they started cheering his name.
With that, he covered his lips with his palm and kept to himself at the corner of the bench.
Then, he looked down at his hands, which were red and sweaty from playing so hard since the first quarter.
It had been a while since he felt this kind of emotion. The cheers of the audience echoed in his mind, and he wanted to hear them again in their subsequent games.
There was a slight ache in his ankle, but it wasn't enough to overshadow the happiness that he was feeling.
Just then, he felt someone's presence beside him, so he lifted his head and was met with Kun.
His eyes were red, and it seemed like he had just come back from crying, but Yuze didn't have it within his heart to tease his friend.
"You worked hard," Kun suddenly said, causing a small smile to appear on Yuze's lips.
