wide open

Hu Yeong, the star rookie of the pro basketball team HG Big Whales, was struggling day by day under the crushing weight of repaying his father’s loan shark debt. When everything felt unbearable, a man suddenly appeared.

“Are you trying to seduce me right now?”
“What you just did was seducing. What I’m doing is testing the waters.”

The brief rest Hu Yeong shared with the man was sweet, but in the harsh reality of his life, he chose to cut ties and disappear rather than hold on. He never imagined he would meet him again a year later—this time as a player for HG Big Whales, standing before the team’s owner, Eun Jun-wook. Hu Yeong thought he would be crushed in silence, but Jun-wook’s reaction was nothing like he expected.

“If there’s something you need, tell me. I’ll help with whatever I can. I want to be an addition to you, not a flaw.”
