Summary
Yul wanted to hate Junior. Junior was the reason Yul and Derice didn't make it to the Summer Olympics. If Junior hadn't tripped them both, Yul could already be wearing a gold medal, drinking beers almost anywhere but Jamaica, and almost anywhere but the frozen hellscape of Canada.
Yul so badly wanted to hate Junior.
Junior also sold his car to ensure the team could make it to the Olympics. Junior defied his father to give Yul and the team a shot at the gold medal. Junior gave up his entire life just to make up for his mistake. Junior wanted the team to forgive him, and to accept him for who he was, as his father never did.
And Yul wanted to hold Junior close and tell him he was perfect just as he was.

-
After the Winter Olympics, normal life feels like a different world. For Yul and Junior, it means confronting this thing they've developed between them.
