Synopsis:

He was the sun she could never look away from.

A true athlete must carry within him a fire that never dies — vibrant, unyielding, and pure. Even when life throws him into the depths of despair, he rises, again and again, with a strength that defies reason. To witness him in motion is to gaze upon the sun: not blinding, but warm, radiant, and full of life.

In her heart, he was always that golden light — the scent of sweat on a summer breeze, the heat of the track beneath her feet, the quiet blaze of determination. Whether it was their first meeting, when he stood tall in his black and gold uniform like a beam of sunlight, or the countless hours he poured into mastering the decathlon, he glowed from within. Not with brilliance that dazzled, but with a gentle warmth that lingered in the soul.

To him, she was the future he chased with every stride. She was the reason he trained harder, leapt higher, and dreamed bigger. That day, his figure soared over the bar, light and effortless, and her praise became the medal he treasured most. When she removed her sunglasses and met his eyes, something shifted — a moment etched into memory, never to fade.

Another summer arrived, carrying with it the familiar breeze that danced through every corner of A University. And with it came his voice, calling out to her. She turned, startled, and saw him — pressed against the fence, waving with a smile that lit up the world. He had come to fulfill the promise he made a year ago.

“I’ve seen you now and committed your face to memory. When I enter A University, I’ll find you on the track.”

He was always running forward, fearless and free. And beneath the shade of the trees, the kiss he left on her lips bloomed quietly in her heart. Love had arrived — not with fanfare, but with the steady rhythm of footsteps on a sunlit track.
