One Lost, One Win, A Draw is a slow-burn romance steeped in longing, intimacy, and fate—with heart, heat, and a twist that lingers.
Tristan Usami never forgot the midnight race he lost—or the silent rider who vanished into Kyoto’s shadows. Now a flirtatious bartender chasing thrills and distractions, Tristan isn’t looking for love. Until one night, behind the club, everything changes.
Hiroshi Uesugi is quiet, guarded, and impossible to ignore. What begins as an obsession becomes something deeper—something neither of them expected.
As secrets unravel and past collisions resurface, Tristan and Hiro must face what they’ve buried: desire, guilt, and the fragile hope of connection. Just as they begin to build a quiet world of their own, they realize—it was only the beginning.
I’m a quiet creator who finds my voice through writing. My process is slow and thoughtful, shaped by rewrites and reflection. I often struggle with perfectionism, but I’m learning to trust that what feels “not good enough” to me might still resonate with someone else. My hope is simply to bring the stories in my head to life and share them with people who may enjoy them.View all by Myly Nguyen
