In the kingdom where every glance can be a lie and every heart hides a wound, a group of strangers, bound by fate they don't yet understand, comes together. They are united by one thing - a journey to an island surrounded by legends. There awaits a shell that grants one wish... and truths that could break even the strongest. Love. Secrets. Destiny. Some wish to save their loved ones. Others - themselves. But one thing is certain: this journey will not leave anyone the way they were. A story about what we are willing to sacrifice to protect those we love... even if it means betraying ourselves.

"You need to get laid." San froze. The room went quiet for a beat-just the hum of amps cooling down. Then Yunho *whooped*, Jongho choked on his water, and Yeosang's eyebrows shot up. San's face burned. "What the fuck, Hwa?" Seonghwa shrugged, unrepentant. "You've been a monk for, what, six months? Since-" He caught himself, glanced at Yeosang, then barreled on. "Since *forever*. You're wound tighter than Hongjoong's guitar strings." Hongjoong nodded solemnly. "Fact. And I've got just the guy." San groaned, dragging a hand down his face. "No. Absolutely not." "Come on," Hongjoong wheedled. "He's annoying. Cute. Total brat. *Your type*." Yunho clapped San on the back. "Do it. Live a little. Worst case, you get a funny story." Jongho grinned. "Best case, you forget how to frown." San opened his mouth to argue, but the words stuck. Last time he'd hooked up-*fuck*, that had been a disaster. Some model with a laugh like a hyena and a fetish for biting. He'd bailed before the Uber even pulled up. But the band was staring, Seonghwa's eyes soft with concern, Hongjoong's practically sparkling with mischief. "Fine," San muttered. "Whatever. Just... shut up." Woosan story

Everyone is born with a soulmate. No matter where or who you are, once you turn 19 everything your soulmate writes on their body will show up on yours too. Many see this connection as a miracle, a way to communicate with their loved one no matter where they are. Others are scared of it, no one truly knows who is their soulmate until they meet, which is something not everyone wants to do.
