Left-Hand Slaps and Her Summer

The boy once promised, “When we win a competition someday, we’ll take a lap around the arena too.” The girl promised in return, “If you lead me to victory, I’ll let you pinch my cheek.” Later, the boy kept his promise and claimed his girl with a gold medal, and the girl gave him the reward she had promised.

Their once-in-a-lifetime Youth Olympic victory also became the best coming-of-age gift they could give each other.

From the “youthful storm” of that year and their “once in a lifetime” achievement, to fighting with all their might “just to keep you by my side,” from Ston, where “global romance” blossomed, and Shili, where they dreamed of “turning the tables,” to Hatu, where their efforts “bore fruit” as they won a third consecutive title and took home the replica cup.

They started with nothing and built everything together.

They defended their championship titles time and again, sharing in the joy but also experiencing their share of regrets.

They encouraged, supported, accompanied, and saved each other, helping one another become who they are.
