track team AU | love triangle | slice of life | slow burn | found family | comedy + longing + insane rizz JL transferred to Korea's most elite sports university hoping for a fresh start. He didn't expect to be rooming beside the nation's top sprinter. Or that the entire track team would look like Olympian gods who walked off the set of a sports anime. Or that he'd be nicknamed "duality king" after going viral for his monster sprint and what the internet deemed his "clumsy heartthrob vibe". Now he's caught in a tangle of competition, flirtation, and something he can't name-with Park Han, the intense and unreadable ace who pushes him past his limits, and Steven, the warm and steady captain with the flawless physique, who always seems to catch him when he falls. Also on the team: Kyungho, co-captain built like a Greek statue, and Woongki, the witty social butterfly hiding unexpected depth. Popular extrovert Juwon, and charming, intuitive Shuaibo. Jeongwoo, calm and sunny, with the quiet discipline of someone who trains even after lights out. And Chih En, the mysterious youngest with top grades, quiet ambition, and a fan club he didn't ask for. In between 6 a.m. wake-up calls, shirtless practice clips, and awkward moments that feel suspiciously like flirting, JL might just find something he never had before -- people who see him, challenge him, and slowly become a family.

When JL transfers to the prestigious League Academy late in the summer term, he expected himself to settle quite smoothly- and that was the case, but only for a while. To his surprise, he learnt that the school culture associated smartness with popularity; perhaps he realised a bit too late, as after scoring a perfect score on every single subject, his popularity rating scored. ~~~~~~~~~ Chih En, League Academy's violin prodigy, most popular, yet-to-come scholarship honor roll student, doesn't expect anyone to take his place any time soon. So, when news came out that JL could be the next honor roll student, a silent rivalry sparked between the two- posts online, whispers whenever one appeared, recording each one of their achievements to "out do" each other. The following school year, neither their popularity had died down. Infact, it was only intensified when both rivals were placed in the same class, seats right next to each other. They don't expect to interact, but rather their worlds collide by force...perhaps even unfold an unintentional relationship.
