Holy shit! I loved this!! I know nothing about hockey but it doesn't matter, the way strung out their tension and their lives was so palpable. I love the way you write too, how you managed to give us so much in so little words. And your descriptions T__T

This line especially kills me: You try to make deals with the devil, because there are no nice gods, and when that doesn’t work, you claw your way towards the top, sweating blood along the way. - I feel like this was such a powerful line and it says so much about the type of person Cheol is, and hints (maybe) at the history they had.

God, this was just so, so good!
