I ran through the rain with my umbrella, looking desperately for any sign of Hyunjin. Minho had called me saying that he and Seungmin had walked in on him cutting himself and that he had ran away right afterward. I needed to find him before he caught a cold. It was raining so hard that it was hard to see anything and the sound of the rain hitting my surroundings was beginning to feel extremely overwhelming. ------ Hyunjin struggles with urges he tries his hardest to keep to himself, Bottling them up until they were more than he could bear, then breaking. It was a cycle no one in the group had seemed to notice yet. They neglected to notice the tears, the anger. They turned the other cheek without knowing when he was so close to balling his eyes out. It wasn't that they didn't care, he knew that if they knew what was going on they'd help. He didn't want help. Felix has been having nightmares every night for a while now, each ending with someone he loved dying. the dreams were becoming more and more vivid, and almost every one of them ended in suicide. Felix was becoming paranoid, constantly checking on everyone he could to make sure that they were ok, he was scared. !!!LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!! This story is obviously going to contain some pretty sensitive topics like self-harm and suicide, so if either of these trigger you, please don't read. I don't want anyone getting hurt.

They took the biggest risk - and the world watched them fall into each other's arms. But after the final bow, after the last encore, Felix and Hyunjin find out loving each other in secret was easy compared to loving each other out loud. In the bright glare of the spotlight, rumors swirl faster than any song. Every touch is a headline. Every word is dissected. And behind closed doors, they're still just two boys trying to hold each other together - and hold themselves together too.

Hyunjin was promised a private dorm. After all, he's used to getting what he wants - rich, popular, effortlessly talented, and just a little too obsessed with silence. That is, until a last-minute housing mix-up drops a transfer student from Sydney right onto his neatly folded side of the room. Felix is everything Hyunjin isn't prepared for: sunshine in human form, playlists always playing, and a tendency to bake at 2AM when homesickness hits. He hums when he thinks, smiles when he sleeps, and slowly chips away at every cold wall Hyunjin's built around himself. They're not enemies, not really. More like... allergic to each other's habits. At least at first. But somewhere between passive-aggressive post-it notes, shared midnight snacks, and spring afternoons spent not avoiding each other, something soft begins to bloom. Surely it can't be... love?

They never meant to fall in love. Hyunjin and Felix were supposed to be just best friends-the kind who could stay up all night laughing, or sit in silence without a single word and still understand everything. Through every change, every distance, every late-night call... they were each other's safe place. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. It wasn't sudden. It wasn't loud. It was quiet, slow, and a little terrifying. Like sparks you don't notice at first-until you realize they've been burning all along. This is a story about friendship, about the spaces in between, and about the moment you realize the person you've always needed has been right there beside you. Always.

sequel to 'you're the reason i stay up late' After crossing an ocean to be together, Felix and Hyunjin finally begin their life side by side in Australia. But building a home isn't as easy as finding one - visas, jobs, family expectations, and the quiet ache of starting over threaten to shake what they've fought for. Between morning sunlight through shared curtains, grocery store laughter, late-night art sessions, and whispered dreams under southern skies, they learn that love isn't about distance - it's about staying.

Two years after the world fell silent, survival has become routine. In the ruins of a forgotten city, Hyunjin keeps count of the days. Felix keeps the others alive with laughter. Together, they've built something close to peace - a fragile base of warmth in a cold, dying world. But when a routine supply run goes wrong, the cracks begin to show. Whispers of a cure resurface. Hope takes root in a place it shouldn't. And in the space between fear and devotion, love becomes the most dangerous thing left alive.

Lee Felix, or Lee Yongbok, an Australian boy who hid his love for men, was tired of living in a world where loving someone of the same sex was a sin, frowned upon, and even condemned. His family suspected his sexuality because he never showed interest in girls. At school, it was no different; everyone made fun of him. For that reason, he simply lived by reading omegaverse stories, where loving and being loved by someone of the same gender wasn't forbidden. ​One day he came home after a terrible day at school. He had been told he would die for being gay. His family did nothing but bombard him with questions: "When will you bring a girlfriend home?" "Do you like girls?" "Do you think you're a man or a woman?" That last question was stupid. He locked himself in his room and, reading one of his favorite books, confessed through tears: ​"I just want to live in a world where I can be free to love... An omegaverse world." ​✦ ​𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜!

"Please give me a chance.... I want to create everything again... I want to protect you... You are supposed to be my mate...felix...please."... Hyunjin broke down and fell on his knees and is now looking at felix with tears striken face while clasping his hands together.... "You lost the chance a long time ago".... felix whispered his voice hoarse while his eyes are now blank and he slowly scooped his four year old son in his arms and walked away ..... __________________
