Title: Offside Hearts
Description:
Park Jongseong never wanted attention.
As a quiet transfer student with top grades and a naturally gentle presence, Jay's only goal was to blend in and survive high school without trouble. But that plan falls apart the moment he crosses paths with Nishimura Riki-the school's star football player.
Riki is everything Jay isn't-bold, confident, reckless, and impossible to ignore. On the field, he's untouchable. Off the field, he's just as intimidating, surrounded by admiration and expectations he carries like second nature. He doesn't believe in distractions.
Especially not someone like Jay.
And yet... Jay becomes exactly that.
What starts as a casual offer to "teach him football" turns into something far more complicated. Late afternoon practices stretch into dusky evenings, quiet conversations replace awkward silences, and stolen glances begin to mean moreD than either of them is ready to admit.
Riki doesn't understand what he's feeling.
Jay doesn't know what to do with it.
And their friends? They only make things worse.
Because in a world built on winning, rules, and clear boundaries-
what happens when their hearts refuse to play by them?
