A fallen prodigy. A fading captain.
When the paths of two broken players collide, can they rewrite their story on the table tennis court?
Synopsis
Once hailed as a table tennis prodigy, Kyle walked away from the sport after a traumatic incident that left scars deeper than the crowd ever saw. For five years, he's lived in the shadows, far from the game that once defined him.
Meanwhile, Evan, the steadfast captain of a low-ranked professional team, is nearing the end of his career. Just as he prepares to retire, fate leads him to stumble upon an old online clip, one that captures Kyle's brilliance in a way that ignites something inside him. Determined to bring his struggling team back to its former glory, Evan sets out on a mission: find the prodigy who disappeared, and convince him to pick up the racket once more.
But the past is heavy, and the question remains:
Will Kyle allow himself to return to the sport that once broke him?
Or will the fire of table tennis be reignited against all odds?
A story of loss, healing, and second chances-where the game is more than just a match, it's a fight for redemption.

Ice star
Fin is a 17-year-old Omega with fire in his heart. A gifted figure skater with dreams too big for the small rink he grew up in, Fin has trained for years-hoping, praying-that one day he'd be noticed by the prestigious Star on Ice coaches of the national team. Among all of that there is Jasen, the ice hockey team's captain and Alpha heartthrob who plays like fire and carries himself like ice. Strong, calm, admired by everyone... and impossible to ignore. As the pressure rises, Fin finds himself torn between two battles: the one on the ice, where he must prove his worth and chase the dream he's given everything for-and the one in his chest, where feelings for Jasen grow stronger with every glance, every touch, every word left unspoken. Will Fin capture the attention of the Star on Ice scouts and rise to the future he's trained for? Will he finally find the mate he always dreamed of-one who sees him, not just his status as an Omega? Or will the harsh reality of competition, heartbreak, and unmet expectations shatter everything he's built?

Happily Ever... Forced?
Four billionaire heirs. Forty candidates. One live-streamed matchmaking competition-because obviously, love should be handled like a corporate merger. Johan, Arthit, Hill, and Tonfah never signed up for The Matchmaking Love Draft, but their meddling family insists: choose a partner or Grandpa picks one for you. Meanwhile, broke college students North, Easter, Typhoon, and Daotok accidentally save a very drunk, very rich auntie-only to wake up as unwilling contestants. Now, it's billionaires vs. chaos, with cutthroat rivals, ridiculous challenges, and an overenthusiastic grandma already knitting wedding sweaters in multiple sizes-just in case. Love? Maybe. Sanity? Long gone. And worst of all-they can't escape. _________________________________________________________________ So... here we go again. My second story. Apparently, my obsession with the Fourever You cast is so strong that even finishing an entire my very first story wasn't enough to satisfy it. Nope. My brain said, One more. Just one more. And here we are. All character names are lovingly borrowed from the Fourever You cast, but the chaos? 100% my own creation. Buckle up. Let's enjoy this second round of madness together!Complete
