He left Canada's top league to save a dying team. He didn't plan on being saved himself.
Shin Hojae walked away from everything—the fame, the contract, the career most players would kill for—to come home and keep the Blue Wolves alive. But the team is hemorrhaging money, and pride doesn't pay the bills.
Enter Junghyun. Wealthy. Shameless. Obsessed with alphas and not shy about it. He offers Hojae a private sponsorship deal with terms that make Hojae's skin crawl.
The answer should be no. It is no. Until it isn't.
What starts as a transaction—money for proximity, nothing more—begins to shift the moment Hojae catches a glimpse of what Junghyun hides behind the designer suits and the careless smile. The cracks. The loneliness. The quiet way he flinches when no one's looking.
Hojae tells himself it's just irritation. Then concern. Then something he refuses to name.
Two stubborn hearts. One frozen rink. And a slow collision neither of them saw coming.
