Zhang Hao is the heir to the Emperor of China, and is quite sure that when he'll end up on the throne, he'll be leagues above his father. Obviously, he still needs to brush up on some skills, and fixing his broken korean is exactly the reason that had been told to him when they appointed a certain Sung Hanbin to follow him daily. They can't talk very well, but his smiles makes him want to try more.

Young director Sung Hanbin was always drawn to the shadows..obsessed with the minds of killers. Their twisted tales always etched into his memory like lullabies of the macabre. But one name haunted him more than the rest: Zhang Hao. A murderer and rumored cannibal who prowled the streets during Hanbin's own childhood, before vanishing behind prison walls for life. Years later, Hanbin returns..but not as a frightened child but as a director chasing the truth. He enters the prison hoping for answers, for inspiration. But as the killer begins to speak, Hanbin realizes he's not just making series anymore..he's part of the story. -----☆☆☆☆☆----- ⚠️ Heads up: This story includes stuff like age gaps between adults, violence, smut, murder and some dark themes here and there.

They were everything to each other...until one night shattered it all. Hanbin met Zhang Hao in kindergarten, stepping between him and the kids who mocked his gay parents. From that day on, they were inseparable. Hao painted his world in color, while Hanbin quietly decided Hao was his world. Then came the accident. Hao vanished without a word and Hanbin was left with silence, anger and million questions that never stopped burning..while his right arm never healed properly and neither did his mind. Years passed. But when fate brings them back together, Hanbin realizes something is wrong. Hao isn't the same. His once bright eyes are dim. His smile feels rehearsed and most striking of all..he's blind in one eye. It was a quiet and also permanent reminder of the night that tore them apart. As Hanbin digs into the truth, he's forced to confront what really happened to the boy he loved..and what it means to love someone who's no longer whole in the way you remember. Some stories begin with love. Theirs begins again with damage. ---------------☆☆☆☆☆--------------- ⚠️Smut, rape, child porn⚠️ SLOW BURN‼️ Hanbin: top Hao: bottom Start: 27.10.2024 End: 21.10.2025

"I hated you... every damn day. But I hated seeing you with him more. Why do you think that is, Hanbin?" "...Because it was never hate." ﮩـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ They were enemies. Everyone knew that. But what happens when one stops fighting... and the other can't stop noticing? Rivals in everything-school, sports, even the stage. They swore they'd never speak, never care. Then someone new shows up. And everything starts to fall apart. Or maybe... fall into place? Why does it hurt to be ignored by someone you hate? "Say it, Zhang Hao. Say you hated me. Say I meant nothing to you-go on!" "I couldn't say that even if I wanted to. And God knows, I wanted to!" Where's the line between hate and something else? And what happens when it's crossed? "You came all this way just to see the wreck I've become? Congratulations, Hanbin. You win." "I didn't come to win. I came because I lost something I didn't realize I needed until it was gone." "The Thin Line Between" - some rivalries burn deeper than you think. ═════════════════════ Disclaimer: This fanfiction is a work of pure fiction.
