Summary
Minjeong has an obsession.
Her holy grail — ever since she committed the technical basics to muscle memory — is to row for varsity in the esteemed stroke seat. The current stroke stands in her way: benefactor's daughter, national team prospect, Olympian born and bred, God's favourite, permanent fixture of her thoughts, most beautiful woman alive, whatever.
Kim Minjeong hates, and she envies, and she wants. In this brutal cycle, a realization: Yu Jimin might just be the reason for her existence as much as she is the bane of it.

Summary
Karina Yu spent her life being what others expected her to be: the daughter who never complains, the wife who never desires, the woman who fades into the background to fit in. Trapped in a marriage that was never a home, she runs away for a few days—not out of courage, but out of desperation to breathe.
Tucson was supposed to be just that: air. Until Winter crosses her path. Insolent and free in a way that hurts. The kind of freedom that, in Karina, had always slept in chains.
What begins as a distraction becomes a necessity. Winter ignites something in her that was dead, and Karina, for the first time, faces her own wreckage: the fear, the guilt, the desire she always kept as a sin.
Between empty roads, the raw heat of the desert, and a romance that holds no promise beyond the present, Karina is pushed to the edge of herself. And there, where lies no longer sustain anything, she must face the question she has always put off:
Who is she when no one demands she be someone else? And what is she willing to lose in order to finally choose herself?This story is also available in Portuguese on Wattpad, under the username babedongie.

Sometimes, it’s hard for Yoona to remember where she begins and Sullyoon ends, all their excess thread twisted and knotted together. Jinsol untangles the web.
