The Summer I Turned Pretty ⚊ Park Jay & Sunghoon

"Every summer, I waited for Jay to see me. I just didn't expect him to look when Sunghoon already had." - Sim Jaeyi

For ten summers, Sim Jaeyi loved Jay Park from a distance, her feelings quiet and constant, like waves brushing the shore. And every year, she almost told him. Almost.

Sunghoon, his younger brother, was the one who stayed. Her steady anchor after her parents split and she was forced to live away from Jake and her mom, spending most of the year with a father who wasn't who he seemed to be.

Now at seventeen, something's different.

Jay is finally seeing her.
Sunghoon is seeing her too ⚊ and not the way he used to.

And Jake? He's not ready for any of it.

But Jaeyi has secrets she hasn't told anyone. About her father. About why this summer matters more than any before.

Because this summer... This was the summer she turned pretty.
