As they locked eyes, Hamond leaned in close to Hamlyn, his voice a soft whisper urging, "Hey Hamlyn, keep it together. Now's not the time." Hamlyn remained transfixed, his gaze unwavering.
Suddenly, the coach's voice cut through the tension "Alright, listen up, team. It's time to go over our strategy." All eyes turned towards the coach, including Hamlyn's, who stood at the back of the group.
As he focused on the coach's instructions, a voice whispered into Hamlyn's ear, "Last night, Sheryl and I had lot's of fun together."
Hamlyn's eyes widened in disbelief, his hands curling into tight fists as anger surged through him. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his teeth clenched tightly, and his heart pounded with intensity.
Slowly, he turned to his side and found Tatsuya standing there, a smug smile playing on his lips.
Despite the raging storm of emotions inside him, Hamlyn maintained his focus on the coach's instructions, refusing to be derailed by Tatsuya's provocation.
