At a university where hockey players and figure skaters couldn't be more different, two team captains find themselves drawn to each other despite the risks. Jeno is terrified that getting close to Jaemin could expose the secret he's worked so hard to hide. Jaemin, meanwhile, is determined to uncover why the confident hockey captain becomes so flustered whenever they're alone together. The closer they get, the harder it becomes for Jeno to keep pretending—and the more impossible it is to ignore the feelings neither of them can escape.
Characters
Na Jaemin has never been someone who blends into the background. Standing at 5'10", he moves with a natural elegance that makes everything look effortless. His soft blond hair falls perfectly over his forehead, framing delicate but striking features that have earned him more admirers than he can count. Beneath his graceful appearance is a surprisingly athletic build, developed through years of rigorous skating training. Whether he's on the ice or walking across campus, Jaemin carries himself with a confidence that's impossible to ignore. Unlike many athletes at the university, Jaemin has never hidden who he is. Being openly gay hasn't always been easy, especially in the competitive world of sports, but he decided long ago that pretending to be someone else wasn't worth it. While he's learned to brush off judgment and criticism, that doesn't mean it never hurts. He simply refuses to let other people's opinions dictate his life. Because of that, he's become a source of inspiration for many students who admire his honesty and fearlessness. Still, there are moments when he wonders what it would be like to have someone who truly understands him. Someone like Jeno Lee. The hockey captain fascinates him. Everyone sees Jeno as confident and untouchable, but Jaemin can't shake the feeling that there's something hidden beneath the surface. Their teams couldn't be more different, and their worlds rarely overlap, yet Jaemin often catches Jeno watching him during practices, competitions, or campus events. And every time their eyes meet, Jeno is always the first one to look away. Which only makes Jaemin more curious.
Intro
The university arena was quieter than usual.
Most students had already gone home for the evening, leaving only the distant hum of fluorescent lights and the occasional scrape of skates against ice echoing through the building.
Jeno had every reason to leave.
Hockey practice ended nearly an hour ago, his teammates were probably already at some party, and he definitely didn't need to be standing in the shadowed doorway separating the hockey rink from the figure skating arena.
Yet here he was.
Again.
He told himself he was just cutting through the building on his way out. That was the excuse every time. But somehow he always ended up stopping when he heard music drifting from the other rink.
And somehow his eyes always found the same person.
Na Jaemin glided effortlessly across the ice, his movements smooth and graceful beneath the bright arena lights. Even from a distance, he looked completely at home out there. Confident. Free. Like he wasn't carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations on his shoulders.
Jeno hated how much he admired that.
