Till, a painter, prepares for his senior year gallery feature and discovers a band with a beautiful lead singer. The man behind her on keyboard ain't half bad either, and he won't stop looking at Till... "I just wanted to give my pass to Till, that artist I mentioned." Ivan flinched at whatever Sua had said but Till was too distracted by Ivan's thumb. He gently opened Till's mouth, releasing his now bloodied lip. Ivan's thumb swept through the blood, wiping it away. He then retracted his hand and after considering the blood now smeared on his thumb for a moment, he licked it clean."

Ivan has spent his entire life in a place where silence is survival and conformity is currency. In his small, tight-fisted town, masculinity is a performance, and anyone who slips out of their assigned script becomes a target. Surrounded by casual cruelty, loud bigotry, and people who look through him instead of at him, Ivan has learned to swallow every part of himself that could ever be used against him. But the act is starting to suffocate him. Haunted by the version of himself he's been forced to bury, Ivan's days become a series of small symbols and quiet breakdowns: mirrors he can no longer look into, rainstorms he stands in like confessionals, a locked room full of childhood colors he isn't allowed to love, and a phone full of secrets he hides like a crime. Every touch is dangerous. Every look is a threat. Every desire feels like a sin he was born carrying. Cover Art Credit: @Ker_bers on x

Till has had enough of Ivan always upsetting him. It's time to turn things around. - Or, Till seeks revenge and tries to make Ivan angry, but things don't go as planned.

After a painful breakup, Ivan and Till reunite in a city of endless rain. Ivan is open with his feelings, but Till hides behind silence and competition. Together, they must face their past to find if love can bloom again.

At ALNST High, Till never expected to fall for someone who doesn't even have a heartbeat. But Ivan-quiet, cold, and hiding a deadly truth-is impossible to ignore. When Till discovers Ivan's secret, he's pulled into a world of blood, danger, and a connection deeper than either of them can explain. As forbidden feelings grow, so do the risks. But some bonds are written beneath the skin-where the pulse lives. Alongside them, Mizi and Sua fall quietly in love, while Luka, Hyuna, and Hyunwoo navigate tangled hearts of their own.

Ivan and Till have been best friends since childhood - inseparable, loyal, and seemingly unbreakable. But when they enter college together, the cracks in their bond begin to show. Ivan has harbored a deep, unspoken crush on Till for years, a quiet obsession that only intensifies as they grow older. Till, on the other hand, has these unfamiliar feeling. He doesn't even know what he feels anymore. While Ivan clings to their shared history and the illusion of something more, Till remains blissfully unaware or willfully ignorant, using Ivan's devotion as emotional support without realizing (or admitting) the damage it causes. Their friendship slowly turns toxic: full of emotional manipulation, guilt, dependency, and unbalanced love. Ivan can't let go, and Till can't give what Ivan needs. Eventually, the truth spills out - Ivan confesses. What follows is silence, distance, and a heartbreaking experience. Will they find love for one another?

Till never expected to see Ivan again-especially not as his assigned college roommate. After drifting apart post-high school, their relationship had become a blur of unspoken feelings and silences too long. But now, in the small, sunlit Room 307, the two are given a second chance. Ivan, now an architecture student with a quiet demeanor and late-night design habits, isn't the same boy Till remembers. And Till, a literature major who still doodles in the margins of every notebook, finds himself both nervous and curious. As the semester rolls on, shared spaces become shared moments-takeout on the floor, sleepy conversations at 2 a.m., midterms survived with tea and laughter. Slowly, their walls fall. Between art exhibits, campus festivals, snow days, and movie nights, their friendship blossoms into something softer, deeper. And maybe this time, they won't leave things unsaid.

Daria Cole never expected her quiet high-school tutor partner to return as the new Mafia King of New York. Nico Costa. Bigger. Colder. Tattooed. And looking at her like she's the only softness he'll ever touch. She thinks they're just friends. He knows better. "Say the word," he murmured against my neck, "and I'll ruin any man who thinks he can touch what's mine." A soft, innocent girl. A very dangerous man. Five years of tension ready to explode.
