Chapter 20: Love at first sight
Theron's POV
After finishing my match, I always go to meet Damon—of course, to show off my handsome face. But as I was walking, my hand slipped, and my basketball suddenly rolled away. It was truly heartbreaking to watch my beloved basketball leave me.
When I followed its path, I saw a little angel.
He was bouncing my basketball in his small hands. He looked so tiny, cute, and beautiful. At first glance, I thought he was Orian, but then I realized he wasn't.
Orian looks like a kid, but something about this guy was different. Maybe that's why I was so drawn to him. I think I fell in love at first sight. That's why I even showed him some ball tricks.
But when I glanced at him, his face was completely blank. Still, I clearly remembered that just a moment ago, he had been excited, even saying "Wow!" when he saw my tricks. And yet, now he was making that expression? My curiosity about him only grew.
"My name is Theron. Now, tell me yours," I asked, looking at him, eager to hear his answer. But instead of replying, he started shifting his gaze around nervously. My full attention was on him, of course—I wanted him to know that I had a crush on him.
"Silas... That's my name," he finally replied. His voice was so soft, perfectly matching his delicate appearance.
"Wow, that's a cute name, Silas. So, why are you sitting here alone?"
I waited for him to answer, but he took his time before responding.
"I'm a trainee here. I just joined today."
