    Summary

    If someone had asked Jiseok back in February where he thought he’d be by July, he probably wouldn’t have had a clear answer. He definitely would never have expected to be taking up space in his cousin’s one-room Seoul apartment, spending his days wondering if he’d ever skate again and his nights asking himself if he even wanted to.

    Finding himself without a coach just months before the Olympics, four-time Korean national champion Kwak Jiseok can't help but wonder if his career is already over. But after a chance encounter with his childhood rival, he finds himself with renewed determination to show the world that he can't be broken so easily.

    After struggling with growth spurts for several seasons, Lee Jooyeon is skating better than ever. The idea of standing beside Jiseok on a podium again, like when they were kids, is what's kept him going all this time. So of course Jooyeon would do anything to help Jiseok get back on his skates.

    But only one of them can win gold at Nationals and earn a spot at the Olympics.
