They meet in high school, brought together by friends, late nights, and all the words they're too shy to say out loud. This is how Felix and Hyunjin learn to stay - flying towards each other, one heartbeat at a time.

They were each other's first love. And their first heartbreak. Felix and Hyunjin haven't spoken since high school-since one goodbye tore them apart. Now they're debuting in the same idol group. To the world, they're rivals. Strangers. Behind closed doors, they're something messier. Bitten-back words. Lingering stares. A history neither of them knows how to bury. But feelings don't fade just because time passes. And love doesn't always listen to reason. Because what do you do when the boy you thought you lost forever... is standing right in front of you again? This is their second first love. And maybe-just maybe-it's the one that lasts.

On the edge of two rooftops, in a city that never stops screaming, two boys are ready to give up. Hyunjin - a world-famous idol, chewed up and spat out by the public, is moments away from letting go. Felix - a broke, invisible immigrant from Australia, suffocating under the weight of abuse, is ready to disappear. But then... their eyes meet. And suddenly, everything halts. From a silent rooftop to the pulsing streets of Seoul, fate throws them together once more-one fleeing from the hate that haunts him, the other hiding from the family that broke him. When they lock eyes a second time, it's not a coincidence. It's the beginning. Of healing. Of survival. Of a love that sees everything-because eyes don't lie.

Felix never meant to fall in love with a painting. Fresh to Seoul and feeling out of place, he finds warmth in an art gallery tucked between grey streets. Among the canvases, one artist's work speaks to something deep in him - something tender, something hidden. The gallery's quiet caretaker, Hyunjin, seems distant but kind. And slowly, quietly, Felix finds himself coming back. Again and again. What he doesn't know is that the artist behind the paintings is the man he's falling for. And what Hyunjin doesn't expect... is that he's painting his muse in real time. A slow-burn story of art, secrets, and the quiet way two souls can find each other.

He moved to Korea with nothing but a suitcase, bad WiFi, and a crush on Hwang Hyunjin. Felix never expected to actually get into a Stray Kids concert - much less the pit. But when his bias looks him dead in the eye mid-performance... something shifts. One moment in the crowd becomes a chain of impossible chances. What happens when the fan becomes unforgettable? Hyunjin's an idol. Felix is just another face in the crowd. Until he isn't.

Felix has hated Hyunjin for as long as he can remember. Arrogant, reckless, and constantly surrounded by girls, Hyunjin is everything Felix resents-and unfortunately, everything he can't seem to ignore. But when a dark, stormy night finds Felix crying on a curb miles from home, it's Hyunjin who appears through the rain. One moment. One look. And everything begins to change. What happens when the boy you hate is the only one who truly sees you?

Felix bakes the best brownies in Seoul, but no one knows the sweetness hides old scars beneath his sleeves. Hyunjin runs an empire built by someone else, and now he's trying not to drown in the silence it left behind ⚠️ Trigger Warnings (TW): This story includes themes of: Depression / mental health struggles (past & present) Self-harm scars (non-graphic but slightly detailed descriptions, e.g., mentions of white lines) Grief / loss of a parent (Hyunjin's father) Emotional vulnerability Occasional strong language All themes are written with care and sensitivity.
