✦・゜✧・゜✦ - ・゜✧・゜✦ Fractured hearts hidden behind sharp tongues. A girl who fights to be heard. A boy who refuses to break. Two storms colliding where trust feels like a dare. ✦・゜✧・゜✦ - ・゜✧・゜✦ ⸻ Min-hee built her reputation out of noise and defiance - the loud girl with quick comebacks, the one you couldn't humiliate because she'd cut you down first. Su-ho, meanwhile, was the opposite: steady, unreadable, a fighter who always kept his real thoughts behind a wall. When a string of betrayals and violent run-ins at school leaves them both burned, their lives start weaving together in the quietest places - study rooms, late-night walks, bruised knuckles and whispered truths. What begins as an unlikely alliance slowly turns into something else. Su-ho becomes the first person who doesn't flinch when Min-hee shows her cracks, and Min-hee is the first to see the warmth buried under Su-ho's stoic mask. They never set out to fall in love; it grows in the moments between fights, in the jokes after bad days, in the way they keep showing up for each other when everyone else disappears. By the time they realize it, friendship has already turned into something deeper, and neither of them is sure if it's salvation or another kind of risk.
