A fictionalized, ultra-elite Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. It functions as a microcosm of the country's powerful families, with a rigid social hierarchy dictating everything from dorm arrangements to future prospects.

After sixteen years in an orphanage, Yence has learned one thing: the world doesn't owe him a second glance. Then his estranged half-brother-a young, ruthless tycoon-pulls him into a life of privilege. Now at an elite university, he is determined to disappear into his fresh start. Until a single encounter shatters it. He's ice in human form. Beautiful, arrogant, and somehow familiar in a way that makes Yence's heart skip a beat. Yence vows to stay far away from him. But fate isn't asking. Their connection runs deeper than they remember-a buried past, a forgotten bond. And destiny has a long memory. ⇻ DISCLAIMER ⇺ This story is fictional and does not reflect real events, people, or relationships.

About the story: This is a tale of two individuals brought together by an unforeseen twist of fate-one that challenges their patience, reshapes their beliefs, and forces them to confront their deepest convictions. Every choice they make-whether guided by reason or emotion-draws them further into a web of destiny, where acceptance and resistance collide, and love teeters on the edge of hatred. This is not a fairy tale. It is a journey woven into the fabric of modern society, unfolding through a cycle of privilege lost and fortunes reclaimed. From wealth to struggle and back again, the story reveals the stark realities of ambition, sacrifice, and redemption. As their paths intertwine, they must decide: Will they choose love despite the suffering it brings, or will they trade passion for the serenity of a life untouched by chaos? The answer lies within the chapters ahead. Author's Note: Hello! I'm Ms. Joe! This is my first Alternate Universe (AU) fanfiction, drawn from a collection of prompts I created some time ago.

I've loved Hannie since we shared a classroom in second grade. Same hallways. Same school events where he never once looked my way. Years of watching him laugh, shoot baskets, tie his shoes wrong---years of being the ghost in his peripheral vision. He doesn't know my name. He doesn't know I exists in his world. All these years. That should be enough to stop. To walk away. To finally unclench this stupid, stubborn hope from my chest. But tonight, something shifts. A glance held one second too long. Suddenly, invisibility felt like a choice I'm about to break. Loving in silence is safe. Speaking might ruin everything. But staying quiet might ruin me. ⇻ DISCLAIMER ⇺ This story is fictional and does not reflect real events, people, or relationships.
