The Day We Cross the Line

선을 넘는 날 A longtime veteran at Seonam City Hall, stuck in a never ending slump, a washed up athlete on the verge of retirement. Ji Haeyoung. Despite enduring endless malicious comments, Haeyoung stubbornly keeps the national team badge on his chest and competes in the Winter Olympics. [“Hyung, you know… if I get first place, can I show you my face? Not just first place, but world number one. At the biggest competition.”] For a brief moment, Haeyoung is filled with anticipation at the thought of seeing again the cute little kid he met long ago. “Can you not go a single day without a man? You even went as far as fucking some foreign guy, fuck. You’re not even a rag, you’re worse….” That kid has grown into an arrogant genius athlete constantly surrounded by personality controversies. “Hey, isn’t this a bit much? Going straight to your room like this?” “What’s so wrong about it? You think it’s fine for you to get off by yourself? After you turned me into this?” “When did I ever do that, mmph!” A scorching night that passes like an accident. Even as Haeyoung feels guilty toward Juho, who does not recognize him, he finds himself growing increasingly drawn to him. “Gong Juho. Want to try dating…?” “You made a good choice. There’s no one better than me.” Haeyoung thinks they are dating, while Juho believes they are just sex partners. Thus begins a relationship where they dream different dreams. “Yeah. It’s not that I want to have sex with hyung… it’s just that it pisses me off seeing a man who looks like hyung spreading himself for anyone right in front of me. I just want to stop it, at least during the Olympics.” Juho, too, forcefully suppresses his confusion and does everything he can to satisfy Haeyoung. Will the two of them be able to safely reclaim both the gold medal and their past connection? --- Original Novel: Volumes: RIDI, MrBlue, Bookcube Chapters: Bomtoon, MrBlue Original Webtoon: RIDI
