    Summary

    Jeno Lee is the skilled Vice Captain of the Cloquet High Varsity Hockey team.
    Jaemin Na, who is a medical student, loves to tell Jeno how much he means to him.

    Through words, through hugging, through kissing, they form a deeper bond—a bond so tight that Jeno can't believe what he's emotionally capable of.

    However, he didn’t fully think about his consequences: the team, the sport, the school. He knows how sheltered they are, how they don't like people who aren't like them. How would Jeno tiptoe his feelings around every relationship, every encounter, every exchange, just so he doesn’t get caught?

    And most importantly, or so Jaemin thought, how would this affect their relationship, supposedly being nothing to Jeno?
