Worth the Wait

Juhyun has made a firm promise to himself: he will never fall for Shin Heeju again. That resolve is tested when college brings Heeju back into his life—the older brother of his friend, and the very person Juhyun has harbored a crush on for as long as he can remember. The reunion is hardly glamorous: Heeju is drunk, repeatedly knocking his head against a telephone pole. Through his drunken rambling, Heeju reveals that another guy has just turned him down. Juhyun knows he should keep his distance. He should not begin something that could reopen old wounds or allow his hopes to rise. He tells himself that they are only friends, nothing more. Yet he cannot ignore the possibility that this time might be different—that perhaps he could finally win over the one man he believes is worth the wait.
