A staff member tosses one over.
He uses it to brush the sand off quickly.
Like he's performing a medical procedure.
Zero warmth. Zero lingering. Eyes firmly on her arm, not her cleavage.
"Thanks," Sera says. Her smile is slightly stiff.
She adjusts her top again. More pronounced this time.
Fans are having a field day.
[HE USED A TOWEL]
[DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER]
[The paper towel thing all over again]
[This man said NOT TODAY]
[Also she keeps pulling her shirt down]
[Ma'am we can see what you're doing]
[Sera really thought she did something]
[The second-hand embarrassment is REAL]
[Respect to HAEL for keeping his eyes UP]
The most egregious moment comes in the second set.
Sera's going for a ball. Moving fast.
Then her ankle seems to give way.
She goes down with a small cry.
Haejin's instincts kick in.
He moves to catch her before she hits the sand hard.
She ends up in his arms. Supported. Looking up at him with wide eyes.
