OLD SUMMER TRILOGY #3
"Winning is everything. If you don't win, you are a failure." Ice is living by those words. After her mom fails to participate in the figure skating championship because of a tragedy, she is expecting four of her daughters to pursue the same goal. Ice feels all the pressure when her sister wins during her time but pursues a different field upon winning.
For Ice, the only important thing is figure skating. Nothing else matters. She is only allowed to feel something when she wins or loses a competition.
Until she meets Lyonelle in the sports center during summer training, the swimmer who has already won every swimming competition he participates in. Unlike Ice, Lai has it easy. He can have fun, flirt, and be playful and still win. He is not pressured, because he doesn't think winning is the only thing that matters in a competition. He thinks enjoying what you do matters more.
"And a smile from you matters too," Lyonelle teases Ice, but the latter just looks at him with no emotion on her face. "Ah, I failed... but it's okay. We still have sixty-four days of summer to spend together."
Yolo, a basketball athlete and architecture student didn't expect that he would like a man. After all the banter with him, but eventually searching for Trever's presence, he would realize the meaning behind his actions.
Will he be able to entertain his feelings? Even if he already knew that Trever is pursuing someone?
