Ballboy Tactics

by Ji Seunghyun

After retiring from gymnastics, Han Jiwon thought the hardest part of his life was behind him. Turns out, Olympic medals are nothing compared to surviving university as a painfully shy ex-superstar. Then comes Kwon Jungwoo: a rising basketball star and the kind of guy who turns heads everywhere he goes. Jiwon falls fast—but quietly. It’s just a crush, he tells himself. Nothing he plans to act on. He’s content to admire from afar, to keep his feelings safely tucked away. Until Jungwoo starts noticing him too. Behind Jungwoo’s cold exterior is a softness Jiwon never expected to see. And suddenly, keeping his distance doesn’t feel so simple anymore.
