    Summary

    Formerly titled “Loose Ties, Looser Lips.”

    With the release of Ridibooks Season's Greetings I wrote a little college au of Taekjoo and Zhenya!

    Mood board for the story.

    Zhenya had not been this entertained in some time. Usually, he’d wait patiently for his prey to fall into a trap, but for once, he was a little too eager.

    After all, freedom was only the separation between the two, the time it took moving from life to death, from well-put-together to shattered-in-pieces, that distance between the hunter and the hunted. Zhenya wanted to close the distance, but that space was the best part; he’d savor its shrinking distance as he’d move closer, playing Taekjoo like his double bass, coaxing him with calloused fingertips before pulling strings tight, forcing him to bend until he’d make sweet, beautiful sounds, pliant, willing, and waiting. He would relish breaking in this new toy.

    Summary

    Kwon Taekjoo is set to face his long-time rival, Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov, in the Australian Open. Despite his mother's advice to remember that winning isn't everything and to not lose sight of what truly matters, Taekjoo, driven by his fierce competitive nature, has always ignored her words.

    After the match, will he finally grasp the meaning behind her counsel? Could he learn that there is more to life than the relentless cycle of competition, victories, and defeats? Perhaps Yevgeny, in his own way, might succeed where his mother had not.

    Will their rivalry evolve into a friendship—or even something deeper? Beating Yevgeny had always been a goal. Could it be that, in the end, Yevgeny was the answer that had eluded Taekjoo all this time.
