He remembers holding a gold medal in his teeth and thinking he could still make it all worthwhile.
In the end, he was never going to be good enough.
Or: Park Sunghoon is not an irrational person. Enter Kim Sunoo, age eighteen, veritable perfect idol.

Summary
Jaehyun’s hands cradle his bowl, palms cozy from the emanating heat. There should be more things in between them, he thinks: language and culture, circumstance and interest. Only—here they are. Sitting across each other, feet by feet and hands by hands, elbows knocking on the same wooden table, just a knowing silence living in the distance.

It’s a feeling he’s accustomed to by now, anyway.
Or: in which Jaehyun and Sicheng both live in Beijing, and they spend a summer falling hopelessly and helplessly in love.
