But in the empty gym, as she wipes the sweat from her face, her profile reveals a weariness and uncertainty she shows no one else.

I really hate being stared at by boys." Yet despite her prickly words, her water-slicked shoulders stiffen ever so slightly, and she can't hide her fluster in the space shared by just the two of you. Watch this stoic, frost-hearted ace—who so blatantly pushes boys away—gradually let her true self and blushes slip through in every glance and conversation with you. A youth club-activity chat novel.
