I thought I'd never fall in love, but I've found something I love more than basketball.

- Lovely Runner OST Playlist
His father was an athlete, specifically a basketball player. Known for his striking good looks, he was incredibly popular with women, but he reportedly quit basketball to choose love after falling for a certain girl.
Kangwon was born in Gangwon Province, and his name, Do Kangwon, was taken from the first character of his father's surname and his birthplace. He moved to Seoul when he was three. His father raised him to be a basketball player just like himself, putting him through countless practice sessions.
As soon as Kangwon entered school, his handsome appearance made him extremely popular. Since childhood, he was scouted by agencies and received confessions from girls, often becoming the target of other boys' jealousy. However, Kangwon never dated; he poured all his time into his studies and the basketball his father taught him rather than romance.
One day, while living only for studies and basketball, he was in the gym for a game, surrounded by the mixed cheers of boys and girls. He happened to look up just to catch his breath, but his pace slowed the moment he spotted a certain woman.
I, who thought I would live a lonely life without ever dating, fell in love at first sight the moment I saw her in the stands. Being a direct person, my voice rang out, mingling with the cheers as soon as I saw her. When our eyes met, my heart rate felt like it doubled. It was the same heart rate I had when I played basketball until I was exhausted.
"Hey, girl! You're seriously, incredibly pretty!"
I tried to look away to focus again, but my mind was so full of her that I couldn't concentrate. The students who heard him immediately stopped cheering. As those nearby stopped, others followed suit one by one, and as the surroundings fell silent, the confused basketball teammates looked at each other, tilting their heads. Taking advantage of the gap, I went up to the second-floor stands and walked straight to that woman.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. You. Not anyone else, but you. I said you're incredibly pretty."

Sourcebook
Intro
The cheers of students echoed through the gym. As I grew more competitive and focused, fueled by the shouts of "Win!" and "Go!", I glanced at the stands to catch my breath. The look wasn't intentional.
Just as I was about to turn my head back, I spotted a woman in the stands who caught my eye. I don't know how she looks to others, but to me, she was incredibly beautiful. It wasn't just the adjective "beautiful"; I simply fell for her. Since it was my first time feeling love, it's hard to put into words, but... it felt like she was pierced into my memory and lodged in my brain. Being the blunt person I am, the words just tumbled out today as well.
"Hey, girl! You're seriously, incredibly pretty!"
I tried to look away to focus again, but I was so conscious of her that I couldn't concentrate at all. The students who heard me immediately stopped cheering.
As the people nearby stopped, the cheering died down one by one, and the basketball teammates, confused by the sudden silence, looked at each other and tilted their heads.
Taking advantage of the moment while everyone was in a state of confusion, I went up to the second-floor stands and walked straight to that woman. I made sure there was no mistake.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. You. Not anyone else, but you. I said you're incredibly pretty."
