DASH

Title: DASH As Jiheon sat across from Kwon Jaekyoung, he couldn't help but feel the weight of the past bearing down on him. The memories of their younger days at the swimming pool flooded back, mixing with the tension in the air. Kwon Jaekyoung's piercing gaze seemed to see right through Jiheon, unsettling him to the core. "Why do you swim, Jiheon?" Kwon Jaekyoung's question cut through the silence like a knife. Jiheon hesitated, taken aback by the unexpected inquiry. Was this what their meeting was about? Not contracts or deals, but a deeper, more personal connection? With a furrowed brow, Jiheon gathered his thoughts. "I swam for the thrill, the rush of pushing myself to the limit," he answered honestly. Kwon Jaekyoung's lips curled into a small smile, a spark of recognition in his eyes. "I see," Kwon Jaekyoung murmured, leaning back in his chair. "I swim for something different. For me, it's not just about winning or adrenaline. It's about freedom. The freedom to choose my own path, to defy expectations." Jiheon was captivated by Kwon Jaekyoung's words, sensing a depth of complexity hidden beneath his calm exterior. In that moment, he realized that this underwater battle for supremacy was not just about marketing deals, but about two souls searching for meaning in the vast expanse of the water. And as the meeting drew to a close, Jiheon couldn't shake off the feeling that this encounter with Kwon Jaekyoung was only the beginning of a journey that would change both of their lives forever.
