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.

Back then, everyone said Hanbin and Hao were inseparable. On the very first day of kindergarten, Hanbin stood between Hao and the bad words of other kids.. and from that moment on, their lives quietly began to intertwine. Everything felt so unbreakable.. as if nothing in the world could ever pull them apart. Until one terrible accident did. A single fall shatters everything. Hao loses sight in one eye. Hanbin's injured arm turns his once promising basketball future into nothing but a memory. And instead of healing together, they both are torn apart. Years pass. Hao disappears into a mental hospital, trapped in depression and trauma where the place meant to save him only leaves deeper scars. Hanbin at the other hand stays behind, living what looks like a normal life. But he grew up sharper, colder and more arrogant..nothing like tbe kind soul he was before. He was mad at the boy who vanished without a word from his life. When they finally meet again years later, nothing is simple. Old wounds resurface, anger clashes with guilt and love mixes with pain. They are no longer the carefree boys they once were. Now they are only two broken souls standing face to face with a past that refuses to stay buried. But sometimes, even after everything is ruined, there is still a way back to each other. And sometimes, healing begins where the story once broke. ---------------☆☆☆☆☆--------------- ⚠️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.
