Ryujin and Yeji caught between duty and desire, love and loss, bound by rules they cannot break and the love they tried to keep hidden. As life moves forward, they learn that even the deepest love cannot outrun what comes too soon... or what never had the chance to stay. And in the end, time slips away the only way it knows how - without apology. (One-shot)

time waits (for no one) prequel Yeji and Ryujin found each other in the quiet hours between lectures and library shelves. What began as chance encounters grew into something neither of them could ignore. Just two lives falling naturally into place.

Two players. Two teams. One rivalry that defined a generation. Hwang Yeji, the best defenseman found herself shutting down the league's best forward, Shin Ryujin. Years of clashing on the ice, would they realize that somewhere between the competition and obsession, there's something neither of them are ready to face? Let the games begin.

Shin Ryujin, 17. Ryujin was a highschool student, having a part time job at a convenience store to support herself. She was the school's basketball team ace, and often admired for her skills and beauty. Hwang Yeji, 18. Yeji was born in a wealthy family, never having to worry about how much she spends. She was in her last year of highschool, meaning she would have to start thinking about what course to take in university.
