Chasing Winter, Finding You ➤ Sunghoon

In Which...
Two former friends who once shared something unspoken find themselves drifting apart without ever saying goodbye

Or

In Which...
Under falling snow and frozen lights, they begin to realize that some endings were never really the end at all.

Snow falls quietly over the city, soft enough to blur the edges of everything it touches. The rink glows beneath the lights, a frozen world that feels untouched by time, yet for Sunghoon, it's anything but.

A few years ago, they were close. Not officially anything, but something that lingered in between late-night conversations, shared secrets, and moments that felt too meaningful to call simple friendship. Then, without a clear ending, they drifted apart. No closure, no final words, just silence. And somewhere along the way, he stopped skating too, as if letting go of the ice meant letting go of her.

Now, with Christmas drawing near, Sunghoon finds himself standing at the edge of the rink again. The same cold air. The same familiar ache. He came back hoping to start over, to rebuild the part of himself he thought he lost. But his coach has other plans, plans that bring everything he tried to leave behind crashing back into his present.

There's only one option if he wants to compete again.

He has to skate with her. Nam Hayeon.

The girl he hasn't spoken to in years. The one who once felt like home. The one he never really stopped thinking about.

As they step onto the ice together, the space between them feels both too small and impossibly wide. Every movement, every glance, every touch carries the weight of everything they never said. And with each glide across the frozen surface, old memories begin to thaw, along with feelings neither of them are ready to face.

Because this time, it's not just about skating.

It's about what happens when two people who were never truly finished... are forced to start again.
