── .✦ YN SAT QUIETLY on the train bound for milan, her heart racing as the scenery passed in a blur outside the window. the rhythmic hum of the train should have soothed her, but the nerves building up in her chest only seemed to grow stronger. this was it. the moment she had been waiting for her entire life. she was about to join the italian national volleyball team for the first time, even if it was just a practice.
the thought of it was overwhelming.
her mind raced with questions, doubts creeping into her thoughts like shadows. what if i'm not good enough? what if i don't fit in? what if i make a mistake? she shook her head, trying to push those fears aside, but they lingered, persistent and unyielding.
her hands gripped the seat in front of her, her knuckles turning white. the weight of the opportunity ahead felt heavy, as if the future of her volleyball career rested on this one chance. if she made a good impression, it could open doors to something she had always dreamed of - a spot on the italian national team for the world championship.
but the pressure was suffocating.
just as she was about to spiral further into her thoughts, her phone buzzed beside her. startled, she glanced at the screen and smiled as ran's name popped up in her notifications. he had sent her a message, and just seeing his name was enough to calm her racing heart.

yn felt her heart melt at his words. she could picture him saying them, his voice steady and filled with confidence. ran had always been her anchor, even when they were halfway across the world from each other. h knew exactly what to say to ease her worries, and this time was no different.
she smiled to herself, typing a quick response.

she pressed send and leaned back in her seat, her nerves easing just a little. ran always had that effect on her, like a breath of fresh air when she felt suffocated by her own doubts. little did she know, while she sat on the train, ran was packing his bags for a flight to italy, a secret plan already in motion. he couldn't wait to surprise her the next day after her practice.
