soccer, summer, and second chances (saintshin)

During a high school soccer competition, Shin, the star player from a rival school, accidentally kicks a rogue ball flying straight into the head of Saint, the charming but clumsy food stall volunteer; sending Saint tumbling, leaving him with a minor injury. Guilt-ridden, Shin insists on taking him to the nurse's office and patches Saint up, their time together sparking a precious friendship. Over the summer, they spend lazy afternoons together, sharing laughs, secrets, and develops the kind of connection that feels forever-lasting. But just as feelings begin to bloom, Saint vanishes without a word, leaving Shin heartbroken and confused. What starts as a sweet, funny tale of accidental meetings and summer flings becomes a bittersweet journey of love, loss, and second chances.
