Black Swan ━ Sawamura Daichi

❝You want the best. The first place. The gold medal. What if under all the layers I am not golden enough for you.❞

Somewhere along the lines, Minako Saito lost the gold that followed her name. She was supposed to be their gilded girl, the hopeful face for future Olympics, and the golden girl who was going to make the world hers. But there were no more stars, no more glitter, and no more hope that could right the wrongs she has created for herself. And for someone who has always been this image of perfection, meant fixing the damaged relationship she has with her partner, even if he had broken her heart, even if she had caught him with another girl just hours after he held her hands tightly in his and smiled at her like she was everything. It was her need to be golden that landed her injury, one serious enough to leave her out of the season and back home to rehabilitate and clear her mind. The glory, the spotlight, the attention, all of it gone in a matter of seconds.

However, there is a light in the form of her charming-volleyball fanatic idiot of an older brother, an excuse she uses to justify her stay and her early retirement from the career that made her the golden girl. It wasn't long until she became a swan in a murder of crows and grew familiar with the notion: adapt or fall.

There may never be a chance for her to get all of that back. But even then, maybe gilded girls don't need the glamor and stars to be golden. And somehow Daichi Sawamura ignites something greater than anything she's ever felt before and makes her heart race even if he was only supposed to be her brother's best friend.

And as infuriating and kind as he may be, perhaps he's right about one thing . . .

Black swans can be just as surprising and beautiful.
