Second Serve
"He left without saying goodbye. Now he's sleeping six feet away."
Ren Huang had it all figured out-new city, full-ride scholarship, and a clean break from the past he's been trying to forget. But fate (and his coach) had other plans.
Enter Eliot Kim: track suit-wearing, stat-sheet-carrying, heartbreak-delivering ghost of summers past. Also known as Ren's new roommate. Oh, and the boy who used to be everything...until he disappeared without a word.
Now they're stuck sharing a room, a team, and about a million unresolved feelings. Every look burns. Every touch lingers. And every night brings them closer to the truth Ren swore he'd never need again.
🏐 Volleyball tension? Check.
🔥 Spicy hotel room scene? Oh absolutely.
💔 Emotional damage? Pack tissues.
❤️🔥 Slow burn that finally explodes? Let's just say: "She" by Harry Styles is playing.
Some serves you only get once.
Some boys? You never stop wanting.
