Summary
Heeseung is one of the top boxers in the country. His fight record is flawless, and since being discovered, he had only lost two matches — one at seventeen and another at eighteen.
However, one day, he ends up being defeated by unanimous decision from the judges. Finding this strange — since his performance had clearly outshined his opponent’s — Heeseung, along with his agent, begins to investigate the possibility that the opponent’s victory had been bought.
During a press conference to address the loss, Heeseung receives a key question from a journalist — one that ends up becoming the spark that ignites the investigation.
What he didn’t expect was that the question would come from none other than South Korea’s most famous sports journalist — who also happened to be his ex-boyfriend, Park Sunghoon. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind that defeat, while also facing unresolved feelings and unspoken words of love.

Summary
Fabi exhales sharply. 'I think I’ll need a miracle to not lose my mind and just hang all my pieces before the tournament ends.’
A beat. Then Grisha says, his tone mild, ‘I think we’re playing each other in the next round.’
Fabi recalls the pairings, plain text on a plain webpage, and feels the curious mixture of relief, dread, and guilt wash over him again. He nods and says, the words bitter in his mouth, ‘Hence the miracle.’
