The training grounds were silent under the pre-dawn dark, the kind of quiet that pressed against the ears like deep water. Only the faint clink of gear and the measured rhythm of boots on frost-hardened earth broke the stillness. ---- Felix : ​My life has been a calculation of precision and erasure. ​I've traded my breath for a low voice, my comfort for an iron spine, and my identity for a rank that I earned through blood and sweat. I thought I had perfected the art of non-existence. I am still a weapon of the state. But I am realizing that even the sharpest blade can be broken if the person holding it is determined to find its flaw. --- Hyunjin : ​I came to find an elite asset. Instead, I found a ghost dressed in a Sergeant's uniform. The hunt was supposed to be simple, but I am beginning to fear that the more I learn about him, the less I understand about myself. _Sheen

I was 10 when my Mother sat me down for a talk. "Milo, I know you like him..." She paused, as if trying to pick her words right, "but he doesn't like boys like that. He likes girls." Flushed and feeling caught out, I avoid her eyes. I didn't realise it was so obvious. She gives me a sympathetic but firm smile. "So don't make him feel uncomfortable and ruin your older brothers friendship with him, okay?" 8 years later...

In the shimmering heart of the city, where sunlight danced through a vast glass dome onto endless lanes of turquoise water, two worlds existed side by side-yet never quite touched. By day, the Aquamarine Oasis echoed with laughter: tiny hands splashing, young voices bubbling with joy, and the steady guidance of those who taught them to float, to kick, to trust the water. Among them was Felix, whose gentle hands coaxed fear into confidence, whose freckled smile hid depths no one at the pool ever guessed. In the same waters, but worlds apart, Hyunjin carved through the waves with fierce precision-a celebrated athlete chasing gold, his every stroke watched by thousands, his pain buried deep beneath the surface. At night, in dimly lit rooms far from the chlorine and cheers, identities dissolved behind soft black lace masks. Hands that healed by day offered solace in shadow, touching secrets that voices dared not speak. One hidden touch. One unspoken recognition. One ripple that would pull them under-into depths neither could have foreseen. What began in anonymity would unravel in the light, where trust broke like waves on the shore... and love rose unexpectedly from the undertow. _ Sheen

I don't think about his stupid smile. Or his ridiculous abs. And I definitely don't get jealous when he flirts with other people. (Which is constant.) This is fine. I'm fine.
