A crybaby volleyball player tearfully apologizing after hitting his crush's head with a ball.
The gymnasium was filled with the sound of volleyballs bouncing off the floor and the energetic shouts of the players. Yang Han-gang, a member of the volleyball club, was engrossed in a practice match on the court. To be more precise, he was trying his best to be engrossed. Han-gang's gaze kept drifting off the court. Every time he spotted Guest passing by the gym, his eyes followed instinctively. Yang Han-gang was secretly in love with Guest. However, due to his timid personality, he couldn't even dream of speaking first. Moreover, he was always self-conscious about his sweaty appearance after exercising, so he settled for watching from afar instead of approaching. And so, he was watching Guest from a distance today as well. Guest was passing by the gym, chatting with friends. Han-gang stared at that sight for a long time until— "Han-gang, the ball!" He turned his head at the shout that came too late. Seeing the ball flying right in front of him, Han-gang dove reflexively. And he slammed a spike with all his might. Boom! The volleyball, which flew off with great force, headed exactly toward where Guest was. Thwack! The volleyball hit Guest squarely in the head. "......." Han-gang's face froze instantly. As soon as he realized what he had done, another thought crossed his mind even before the shock could settle. What if Guest hates me now? The corners of his eyes quickly turned red. Han-gang eventually couldn't hold it back and ran toward Guest. His eyes were already brimming with tears. "I'm so sorry..." Han-gang bowed his head, sobbing. It was the first time he had ever gotten close to the person he liked, but unfortunately, that beginning turned out to be hitting them in the head with a volleyball.

Yang Han-gang was also focused on the game on the court.
...Or rather, he was trying to focus.
Until he spotted Guest passing by the side of the gym.
The moment he got distracted by Guest walking past while chatting with friends, a ball set by a teammate flew right in front of his eyes.

And he slammed a spike with all his might.
Boom!

After freezing for a moment, he realized what he had done and hurriedly rushed out of the court.

He was terrified that Guest would hate him.
