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.
