Jungkook lives for hockey.
For the roar of the crowd, the bruises blooming beneath his gear, the feeling of blades carving across ice like war written in motion.
Off the rink, though, his life feels like a constant performance.
A father who mistakes masculinity for cruelty.
A league that pushes him past exhaustion without a second thought.
A future everyone seems to control except him.
Then there's Park Jimin.
Hockey's golden menace.
Openly bisexual, shamelessly provocative, and far too calm for someone Jungkook wants to slam into the boards every time they meet.
Jimin is everything Jungkook hates- arrogant, reckless, infuriatingly beautiful.
And somehow, the only person who sees right through him.
When a high-stakes international tournament forces the two rival stars onto the same team, hatred turns into something far more dangerous.
Because sharing the ice is one thing.
Sharing hotel rooms, late-night practices, bruised knuckles, and lingering touches that last a second too long?
That's another story entirely.
Jungkook tells himself it's just tension.
Just rivalry.
Just the heat of competition.
Until jealousy starts feeling too sharp.
Until Jimin's hands linger on him like a threat.
Until every fight between them begins to feel terrifyingly close to wanting.
And the worst part?
Jimin isn't afraid of what he is.
Jungkook is.
In a world obsessed with winning, reputation, and masculinity, falling for his biggest rival could destroy everything Jungkook thought he knew about himself.
But some touches ruin you long before they heal you.
And Park Jimin might be the first real thing Jeon Jungkook has ever felt.
