Touch It and It Gets Hard!

The Friendship That Crossed the Line

Haein and Dohyun had been inseparable for 20 years—childhood friends who knew each other better than anyone else.

Haein, studying sports rehabilitation, always helped Dohyun, the star baseball player, with his muscle tension. A little massage here, some stretching there—no big deal, right?

“What’s the worst that could happen?” Dohyun thought, lying on the training table.

Characters:

Haein

• The responsible one… until his hands wander too far.

• Always thought he had perfect control—until Dohyun’s reaction shook him.

• “This… wasn’t part of the rehab manual.”

Dohyun

• The easygoing baseball star who never expected this kind of “stiffness.”

• Used to brushing off injuries… but this? No amount of ice could help.

• “Why does his touch feel… different now?!”
