The hardest thing about loving someone is trying not to love them. More so, when both of you are playing on the court. The universe has been unfair to Sim Jaeyun. For almost a year, he has been jealous of his spiker, his best friend, Lee Heeseung. He is everything Jake wasn't. Confident, radiant, effortlessly charming. And somewhere in that charm, Jake was pulled in. Now, he has to pretend the ache from yearning didn't consume him as he navigated what it takes to love someone enough to let them fly, even when it means being left behind. "Promise me that you won't forget about me. About us?" "I will never forget about you." And it seems like Heeseung has a thing of his own too.

Heeseung had only ever known one thing-volleyball. The court was his battlefield, the net his wall, and the ball his only language. As the ace spiker of his university team, his name carried weight, and so did the expectations pressed on his shoulders. Cold, focused, and untouchable-Heeseung didn't let anyone close enough to distract him. Jake, on the other hand, was sunshine personified. A freshman with a radiant smile, boundless energy, and a heart too soft for his own good. He wasn't an athlete, but he had a way of lighting up the campus hallways with his laughter, the kind of boy people naturally gravitated toward. Their worlds were never meant to collide. Until a twist of fate-and one flying volleyball-pulled Jake right into Heeseung's orbit. What begins as a series of accidental encounters turns into something more-a slow unraveling of walls, a friendship that feels dangerous, and a love that Heeseung never thought he'd deserve. But on a court where victory means everything, can Heeseung balance the weight of his dreams with the fire growing in his heart? And will Jake's light be enough to melt the ice around the ace's soul? A story of rivalry, warmth, stolen glances across the net, and the kind of love that refuses to stay hidden-Beyond the Net.

"Heeseung is a perfectionist chef. Jake is a ruthless food critic. They hate each other at first sight... until bickering turns into teasing, teasing turns into desire, and four years later, they're married, living together, and still driving each other insane. This is a story about love, chaos, and all the ways Heeseung makes Jake weak in the knees."

Heeseung learned love the hard way. He learned that love hurt. Then he met Jake. Jake said his name like it was something precious. Jake touched him like he was asking permission. Jake climbed through his window and showed him that love wasn't supposed to hurt-it was supposed to heal. "The way you say my name-I used to flinch. Now it sounds like home." CW: Emotional abuse, past toxic relationship, themes of trauma and healing.
