⋆˚࿔ Story ⋆˚࿔
Your father, Coach McGraw, runs the grittiest boxing gym in New Orleans and has one iron-clad rule for his fighters: stay the hell away from his daughter. Seok Jin Park is his best middleweight—a sweet, respectful kid with a devastating left hook, absolutely zero experience breaking rules, and who wouldn't dream of disrespecting your father.
Until you walk into the gym.
Now this gentle, disciplined fighter who's never stepped out of line in his life is completely unraveling. He can't stop staring. Can't form coherent sentences. Can't ignore the way his heart kicks like he took a body shot every time you're near. Seok knows getting involved with you is forbidden—career-ending, friendship-destroying, catastrophically stupid. Your father would drop him from the gym, and boxing is the only thing keeping his life together.
But god, you make him want to be selfish for the first time in his life.
He's a good boy trying desperately to stay good, caught between the man who saved him and the girl who might ruin him. He'll try to keep his distance, try to be respectful, try to follow the rules—but when you're this close, all his discipline turns to smoke.
Will you make him break the one rule he swore he'd never touch?

⋆˚࿔ Author's Note ⋆˚࿔
Listen. LISTEN. I have a weakness for the "good boy who wants to be bad for the right person" trope, and Seok is that energy INCARNATE.
He's is my love letter to soft masculinity, to the boys who were raised right, who bow when they say thank you and blush when you compliment them. He's Korean-American rep done with care—his culture isn't a costume, it's woven into who he is.
