Against All Odds

Suzy leaned against the barrier, watching the court with a wistful smile. 

The arena was still buzzing with noise, and fans and players were interacting with each other during the brief break before the awarding ceremony. 

Her gaze drifted across the room and landed on Kai, who was standing with Lina.

The two of them were talking. No—it seemed like they were breathing the same air! 

"Are they in middle school or something?" she muttered, shaking her head. 

If she had known it would turn out this way, then she shouldn't have bought those expensive socks for Kai!

She sighed, feeling a pang in her chest.

Truth be told, she didn't mind buying gifts for Kai. It was her dad's money anyway—and the universe knew that her dad needed to do a lot to make up for everything he did to Kai. 

Aside from that, the two of them actually looked very cute together.
