Suntaek couple.. The yin & yang couple..
Theirs is a story rooted in a friendship spanning the seasons of their youth, a love built from simple comforts and a lifetime of smiles. They are children when they first meet in the autumn of 1978. Deoksun is the often forgotten middle child, and Taek the new kid on the block. A baduk prodigy-turned-national treasure, Taek’s genius is both a blessing and a curse. It’s only with Deoksun that he can be someone outside of his achievements, defined by more than his rank. To her, he just is. She lauds his victories and comforts him in his losses, but she doesn’t measure him by them. Before her, he’s an open book; she offers him a place for the emotions he isn’t allowed to show in his professional life, and in return, he adores her openly and freely.
As they grow, their lives taking different turns, Deoksun and Taek remain inseparable. He cheers her on in his quiet way, taking pride in her success, just as she does with his. Taek becomes so important to her that the idea of losing him is unthinkable. She weaves him into her life in a way that makes his presence permanent.
Deoksun’s journey is one of growth, of letting go of society’s expectations and learning to love herself. So when Taek finally asks for her heart in the autumn of 1994, she can give it to him readily — it had already been his. It’d only needed asking, so it could be answered. Together, their names form suntaek: the Korean word for “choice.” They are the product of decades spent choosing each other. And every time Taek holds his hand out to Deoksun, they choose each other all over again.
