To everyone's surprise, Sunny reveals his longing to dance. This revelation sparks a dilemma: can one truly pursue both track and dance? As Sunny navigates the weight of his father's expectations, he embarks on a journey to discover a track event that resonates with his love for movement and expression.

As he immerses himself in practice, Sunny confronts his internal struggles and learns to embrace his unique talents. The narrative delves into the pressures faced by young athletes, highlighting the importance of self-acceptance and the courage to follow one's passions. Throughout Sunny, readers witness the transformative power of sports and the arts, and how they can coexist harmoniously in one's life.

As they navigate their differences and learn to support one another, they also embark on a personal journey of growth, proving that they have much to offer, not just to each other, but to themselves as well.
