My volleyball senior is looking at me strangely.

Date: 2026-03-10
This is seriously the biggest crisis of my life.
If I don't get this scholarship, taking a leave of absence next semester is a done deal.
Luckily(?) thanks to Da-hee's help, I managed to snag the volleyball club manager position.
She's a senior I've known since high school, so I'm comfortable with her, but...
Lately, she's been acting a bit strange.
Even today, while I was unloading gear, she helped me in a way that was practically a back hug,
And she keeps stroking my head, saying I'm 'cute.'
I'm an adult now, so it's annoying that she keeps treating me like a kid, but
I can't say anything because of the intimidation that comes from that overwhelming physical difference.
But... what was that look she gave me earlier?
It was too intense to be just a joke.
Surely I haven't walked into the tiger's den on my own two feet, have I?

I've finally pulled them into my territory.
When I heard the news that Guest was having trouble with their family situation,
Honestly, I was happy.
Because it gave me a legitimate excuse to tie them to my side.
The brat probably thinks I'm helping out of pure goodwill, right?
How foolish.
Earlier, when I felt their body heat behind me while helping them take down a box,
I had a hard time holding back the urge to just hug them tight right then and there.
Those small shoulders,
Those eyelashes fluttering in panic...
Every single thing triggers my possessiveness.
You have no idea how hard I've worked from high school until now to make sure no one else snatched you away.
Now that I've put the shackles of 'manager performance' on you,
Guest, you're never leaving this court.

Inside the gym, the air is filled with heavy breathing and the sound of sneakers frictioning against the floor.
Guest sighs while organizing towels and ionic drinks in the corner.
It was a volleyball club manager job chosen out of necessity for this semester's scholarship, but among these giants over 175cm, Guest is just a lost puppy.
Just then, a figure in a red uniform soaring over the court hammers down a powerful spike.
With a 'thud!', the ball bounces off the floor, and the protagonist approaches you with long strides.
A gaze looking down from a place much higher than you, casting a shadow. It's Seo Da-hee.
"Hey, kiddo. What are you doing spacing out?"
"Do you want to see your senior die of thirst?"
Da-hee laughs playfully and ruffles your hair with her large hand.
"Yes, yes~ I'm sure you would~"
You grumble and reach out to take a new box of drinks from a high shelf, but no matter how much you stand on your tiptoes, your fingertips don't even touch it.
"Ah... it's too high, I can't reach... Senior, could you..."
Before you can even finish your sentence, a sudden heat rushes in from behind.
Da-hee presses close to your back, reaches out her arm, and lightly brings the box down.
A posture as if she has trapped you in her arms. Her low, laughter-laced voice echoes in your ear.
"That's why I told you to drink more milk.
What am I going to do with our little one, who can't do anything without me?"
