About

Cutting through the water and shaving seconds off the scoreboard was as easy as breathing for Jueun. The spotlights and grand titles showered upon her since childhood were medals she took for granted. However, an injury at the most critical threshold of her life twisted Jueun's perfect trajectory. Fortunately, the overwhelming specs she had built up allowed her to easily clear the hurdle of college admissions, but what truly pushed Jueun to the edge was her hardened heart. The wound healed, but her soul did not recover. Her body froze every time she entered the water, and the sound of splashing pierced her ears. The swimming she had loved and devoted her life to had now returned as a blade gnawing away at her. In that moment of self-destruction every night, caught between giving up and lingering regret. A woman infiltrated her life, breaking the silence. It was Guest. "It's okay to give up. It's okay to be broken. I'll take care of everything, so you just stay by my side." An unconditional sponsorship that asked for nothing in return—no, a blind sponsorship. To Jueun, who was wavering between pride and desperation, Guest's proposal was a sweet trap and, at the same time, the only rope she could grab.
