jungwon grew up in a small town,

rialto.

Jungwon grew up in the sleepy town of Rialto, a place that felt suffocating to someone with his restless spirit. He spent his childhood in a crowded foster home, surrounded by twelve other kids, just a stone's throw from Orange County. The town was quiet, uneventful, and it seemed to lack the spark that Jungwon craved. He likes to believe that's why he left, seeking something more than the monotony that marked his early years.

From a young age, Jungwon was always a thrill-seeker, driven by an insatiable desire for adventure. He was stubborn, headstrong, and perpetually restless—a combination that often got him into trouble. If asked, he would say his inability to stay still was his worst quality. His life had been a series of turbulent events since the very beginning. His mother had left him to die in the blistering heat of the Palm Springs desert, a traumatic experience he rarely discussed. When he did, he claimed to be from there, as if the harshness of the desert could explain the resilience he carried.

Being shuffled through the foster care system, enduring abuse and neglect, Jungwon quickly learned that trust was a luxury he couldn't afford. He matured faster than most, building impenetrable walls around his heart, relying solely on himself for survival. Independence became his creed, and he wore it like armor.

Then, one fateful day, Jay crashed into his life like a tempest, leaving Jungwon breathless and disoriented, akin to a deer caught in headlights. From their very first encounter, Jay was different. Jungwon felt an inexplicable pull towards him, a yearning to let him in and trust him completely—something he had never thought possible after a lifetime of betrayals and disappointments.

Jungwon often reflects on that first meeting, realizing how drastically different his life would be if Jay hadn't approached him. It's a reality he dares not contemplate because he knows he would never have it any other way. Jay had changed him, molding him into someone who could finally believe in another person.

Jay had a way of making Jungwon feel alive. Every night, as they lay together, Jay would whisper, "You're my lifeline now," his breath warm and comforting against Jungwon's ear. The words were delivered like a sacred mantra, each time accompanied by a gentle brush of Jay's lips and a tender caress down Jungwon's bare arm. The sensation always sent a chill down Jungwon's spine, a testament to the profound effect Jay had on him.

Jay's presence was a constant source of comfort and exhilaration. Jungwon had become obsessed with the way Jay spoke those words, the intimacy of the gesture, the reassurance it provided. From the moment they met, Jay had a way of making Jungwon feel seen and valued, a stark contrast to the neglect and pain he had known for most of his life.

In Jay, Jungwon found not just a lover but a partner, someone who understood him in ways no one else ever had. Their bond was unbreakable, built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect. Jungwon knew he couldn't live without Jay, and Jay felt the same way.

Together, they faced the world, their love a beacon of hope and strength. Jay had made Jungwon different, better, and for that, Jungwon was eternally grateful. As they lay entwined each night, Jay's whispered mantra was a reminder of the love and trust that bound them, a promise that they would always be each other's lifeline.

Every morning, Jungwon would wake up to the warmth of Jay's embrace, feeling the steady rhythm of Jay's heartbeat against his back. It was a comforting reminder that he was no longer alone. The once icy fortress around Jungwon's heart had melted, replaced by a profound connection that anchored him. They explored life together, finding joy in the simplest of moments—sunset walks on the beach, spontaneous road trips, and quiet nights under the stars.

Jay's laughter became the soundtrack of Jungwon's life, a melody that filled the empty spaces of his past. The way Jay's eyes would light up when talking about their dreams made Jungwon believe in a future he had never dared to imagine. Jay's unwavering support and unconditional love transformed Jungwon, teaching him that trust wasn't a weakness but a strength.

In Jay's arms, Jungwon discovered a sense of belonging he had never known. They built a life together, one filled with laughter, adventure, and an unshakeable bond. Jay had shown Jungwon that love could heal even the deepest wounds, and for that, Jungwon was eternally grateful. Each day, their love grew stronger, and with every whispered promise, they reaffirmed their commitment to one another. They were each other's lifeline, a testament to the power of love and trust.
