They never meant to fall in love. Hyunjin and Felix were supposed to be just best friends-the kind who could stay up all night laughing, or sit in silence without a single word and still understand everything. Through every change, every distance, every late-night call... they were each other's safe place. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. It wasn't sudden. It wasn't loud. It was quiet, slow, and a little terrifying. Like sparks you don't notice at first-until you realize they've been burning all along. This is a story about friendship, about the spaces in between, and about the moment you realize the person you've always needed has been right there beside you. Always.

Hyunjin was promised a private dorm. After all, he's used to getting what he wants - rich, popular, effortlessly talented, and just a little too obsessed with silence. That is, until a last-minute housing mix-up drops a transfer student from Sydney right onto his neatly folded side of the room. Felix is everything Hyunjin isn't prepared for: sunshine in human form, playlists always playing, and a tendency to bake at 2AM when homesickness hits. He hums when he thinks, smiles when he sleeps, and slowly chips away at every cold wall Hyunjin's built around himself. They're not enemies, not really. More like... allergic to each other's habits. At least at first. But somewhere between passive-aggressive post-it notes, shared midnight snacks, and spring afternoons spent not avoiding each other, something soft begins to bloom. Surely it can't be... love?

Hwang Hyunjin looks like the typical broke college student from the outside - but when inspected closer, it's clear that he struggles with mental issues. Lee Felix is a rich, snobby boy - but deeper within him is a caring personality and an eating disorder he'd rather not share. When their paths meet at college, they have to admit to themselves that what they're feeling for each other is a bit more than friendship. ⚠️TW : talks about parental abuse, suicide attempts, and an eating disorder! If you are not comfortable with any of these themes, please do not read!

"Felix?.. Oh hell nah. He's so "perfect", it gets on my nerves. It's almost disgusting, like he's not even human. " In which Chan hates Felix but no one seems to get why because Felix is knowingly perfect, he's nice to everyone - how could anyone hate him? Chan could. However, Chan also doesn't know the whole story behind Felix bubbly personality. No one knew. -"I think, I might have made him cry." --- > kinda enemies to lovers / slow-burn > family issues > angst & fluff -main ship: chanlix -side ships involve minsung, seungjin -deals with serious topics (slightly mentioning suicide, alcohol, abuse, SA) -chapters around 700-1.300 words (chapter titles usually unrelated to the plot of the chapter) -slightly inspired by the lyrics of Sex, money, feelings die (slowed ver. is better btw)

Mae has lived alone in a small apartment in Yeonnam-dong for as long as she can remember. Until one day, a beautiful stranger saved her. In that moment, he became her only warmth. Her only safe place. She believed he would stay. She believed he would never leave. But one morning, he was gone-- without a word, without an explanation. And in that silence, everything shattered. She hated him. As fiercely as she hated herself for trusting him. So much that even the people he cared about became reminders of the pain he left behind. Blinded by anger and heartbreak, she never realized the quiet sacrifices he had been making for her all along. And when the truth finally came to light... the world she thought she understood began to fall apart. Now she is left with only one question-- Is it already too late to forgive him... or for him to forgive her for what she had done? OC x Felix

Two years after the world fell silent, survival has become routine. In the ruins of a forgotten city, Hyunjin keeps count of the days. Felix keeps the others alive with laughter. Together, they've built something close to peace - a fragile base of warmth in a cold, dying world. But when a routine supply run goes wrong, the cracks begin to show. Whispers of a cure resurface. Hope takes root in a place it shouldn't. And in the space between fear and devotion, love becomes the most dangerous thing left alive.
