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.

He's rain-soaked, cigarette-stained, and completely untouchable. Until I touched him. In the middle of a Seoul downpour, Felix meets a stranger beneath a flickering streetlamp. Hyunjin is homeless, high, and hiding from the world-with sharp words and trembling hands that don't know how to be held. He smokes like it's the only thing keeping him warm. He doesn't believe in kindness. Or second chances. But Felix isn't walking away. Not tonight. Not ever.

He moved to Korea with nothing but a suitcase, bad WiFi, and a crush on Hwang Hyunjin. Felix never expected to actually get into a Stray Kids concert - much less the pit. But when his bias looks him dead in the eye mid-performance... something shifts. One moment in the crowd becomes a chain of impossible chances. What happens when the fan becomes unforgettable? Hyunjin's an idol. Felix is just another face in the crowd. Until he isn't.

Felix has hated Hyunjin for as long as he can remember. Arrogant, reckless, and constantly surrounded by girls, Hyunjin is everything Felix resents-and unfortunately, everything he can't seem to ignore. But when a dark, stormy night finds Felix crying on a curb miles from home, it's Hyunjin who appears through the rain. One moment. One look. And everything begins to change. What happens when the boy you hate is the only one who truly sees you?

Felix never meant to fall in love with a painting. Fresh to Seoul and feeling out of place, he finds warmth in an art gallery tucked between grey streets. Among the canvases, one artist's work speaks to something deep in him - something tender, something hidden. The gallery's quiet caretaker, Hyunjin, seems distant but kind. And slowly, quietly, Felix finds himself coming back. Again and again. What he doesn't know is that the artist behind the paintings is the man he's falling for. And what Hyunjin doesn't expect... is that he's painting his muse in real time. A slow-burn story of art, secrets, and the quiet way two souls can find each other.

Felix bakes the best brownies in Seoul, but no one knows the sweetness hides old scars beneath his sleeves. Hyunjin runs an empire built by someone else, and now he's trying not to drown in the silence it left behind ⚠️ Trigger Warnings (TW): This story includes themes of: Depression / mental health struggles (past & present) Self-harm scars (non-graphic but slightly detailed descriptions, e.g., mentions of white lines) Grief / loss of a parent (Hyunjin's father) Emotional vulnerability Occasional strong language All themes are written with care and sensitivity. Reader discretion is advised.

Felix was born into blood and gold - the heir to a legacy he never wanted. At 19, with long blond hair and trembling hands, he's everything his father hates: soft, small, scared. Hyunjin is paid to protect him. Cold, calculated, and cruel when needed - a ghost with a gun. But protection is a dangerous thing. Especially when Felix starts to feel safe in his shadow. And Hyunjin? He starts to feel something else entirely. In a world where weakness is punished and love is fatal, how long can a bodyguard resist falling for the boy he's sworn to shield?

On the edge of two rooftops, in a city that never stops screaming, two boys are ready to give up. Hyunjin - a world-famous idol, chewed up and spat out by the public, is moments away from letting go. Felix - a broke, invisible immigrant from Australia, suffocating under the weight of abuse, is ready to disappear. But then... their eyes meet. And suddenly, everything halts. From a silent rooftop to the pulsing streets of Seoul, fate throws them together once more-one fleeing from the hate that haunts him, the other hiding from the family that broke him. When they lock eyes a second time, it's not a coincidence. It's the beginning. Of healing. Of survival. Of a love that sees everything-because eyes don't lie.
