Since his debut in the Olympic pool eight years ago, two-time Olympic champion Choi San has never lost to anyone in the 100 Fly. That is, until an unknown swimmer by the name of Jung Wooyoung out-touches him at the first championship meet of the season and shocks everyone. OR San is a star swimmer who's barely staying afloat and Wooyoung helps him breathe again.

Wooyoung wasn’t expecting to bump into *the* Choi San, power hitter of the KQ Pirates at a gay club in Itaewon and he certainly wasn’t expecting to fall in love with him either.

“Who doesn’t have a partner?” Professor Kim asks. Wooyoung slowly raises his hand until it hovers next to his ear. One of the trio’s hand lifts slowly, abandoned by her friends, too. The artsy girl next to the emergency door doesn’t have a partner, either. Wooyoung feels a little sick. He might be extroverted, but the idea of being partnered with a total stranger is even too much for his social battery these days. Professor Kim instructs them to form a duo, and Wooyoung’s relief is short-lived because he still doesn’t have a partner. He’s too nervous to look behind him at whoever the other prospects may be. “San, why don’t you and Wooyoung pair up for this?” In the rush of his frustration, Wooyoung hadn’t even thought about San, only two bodies down the row, left in a similar lurch. He wasn’t a total stranger, at least. He leans forward and offers a small smile that is mirrored in return. or Wooyoung and San are partnered for a literature assignment, and thanks to instant chemistry, everything unravels from there.

“They were friends. Just friends. Best friends, even. But only that. Friends. Even after San tried to confess his feelings in their freshman year. They’d been friends for so long at that point, it was only right to reject him. They simply laughed it off, had drinks and stayed just friends. Except, as the years went on and they got older, San got more handsome (He’d always been handsome, but somehow, it had gotten worse), he’d become funnier (He’d always been funny, except now, watching others laugh just as hard at his jokes when before it was only Wooyoung, made him feel things), and he had become more charming (Of course, he had always been charming. But watching boys and girls alike twirl their hair and bat their lashes at San, he began seeing red.) Wooyoung started questioning if maybe the friendship was no longer just that. Or: The one where Wooyoung and San are in their final years of college and don’t know they’re in love but everyone else does.

There are five new players on their squad this season—they’ve discussed the changes before their break, once management finalised all the transfers. There’d been no mention of a Wooyoung. “Which Wooyoung? Jung Wooyoung? From Gimpo FC?” “That’s the one.” Though he tries to be rational about the news, San can’t stop the feeling in his stomach—like a pit opening up, full of dread and a whole other kind of nerves. They make his breath catch, his skin feels like it’s crawling with spiders. Because, if San is the golden boy of his team, the striker that has almost brought Ulsan a victory, Jung Wooyoung is the striker who finished last season with a trophy. It’s one of the many differences between them. After Wooyoung joins Ulsan KQ, San’s whole life turns upside down.

Title : can you hear my heartbeat Summary : After a career-ending accident, Wooyoung's future was turned upside down. Just a few weeks ago, Wooyoung was still a figure skater. Now he was packing all his dreams and life into cardboard boxes to go back to his family home. He did not know how to get back on his feet and, more importantly, who he was without his passion to which he had devoted his youth. There, at the starting point where he had chosen another path many years ago, he met his childhood friend whom he never thought he would see again. Wooyoung opened the door, expecting another neighbour who came to chat with him but instead he found a very familiar face. “My mom send these back,” San extended the stack of tupperwares.

Title : A Sunday Kind Of Love Summary : Choi San has always wanted to become a professional swimmer, but he would have never imagined that meeting the requirements for his scholarship would be so harrowing. His midterm results give him no choice but to seek help from that notably smart history student people keep mentioning, Jung Wooyoung who isn't the conceited know-it-all that San imagined. It takes Wooyoung so little time to fluster San... Maybe a little push was all he needed to come to terms with who he truly is.

I’m not complaining.” San laughs in Wooyoung’s face. “You were literally just complaining?”
