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.

Previously: Room for Two One room. Two boys. Zero peace. Hyunjin and Felix have nothing in common - except for the fact that they're now stuck sharing a tiny dorm room on a rainy Seoul campus. Hyunjin's a walking red flag with too much confidence and too many girls. Felix is loud, chaotic, and always in everyone's business. They can't stand each other. But everything changes one night on the balcony - when Felix almost doesn't come back inside. From then on, the tension between them shifts. The walls drop. And slowly, through shared playlists, sleepy lectures, and 3AM heart-to-hearts, something starts to grow. Something soft. Something real. And maybe, just maybe... there's more room in their hearts than either of them expected.

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?

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.

Previously: Just Sex Just sex. No hard feelings. No strings. At least that's what they say every time. A rule to never be broken... Unless it is?

They meet in high school, brought together by friends, late nights, and all the words they're too shy to say out loud. This is how Felix and Hyunjin learn to stay - flying towards each other, one heartbeat at a time.

Two idols. One dance. No room for mistakes. Hwang Hyunjin and Lee Felix have always been distant - colleagues, not quite friends, not quite strangers. But when a sensual, boundary-pushing choreography throws them into each other's orbit, everything begins to shift. What starts as tension on stage turns into tension off it. Glances linger. Touches last too long. And the line between performance and reality? It starts to blur. But the spotlight is a harsh place to fall in love - and as secrets, jealousy, and pressure build, Hyunjin and Felix are forced to ask: Is this just for the stage, or are they dancing into something real?

They took the biggest risk - and the world watched them fall into each other's arms. But after the final bow, after the last encore, Felix and Hyunjin find out loving each other in secret was easy compared to loving each other out loud. In the bright glare of the spotlight, rumors swirl faster than any song. Every touch is a headline. Every word is dissected. And behind closed doors, they're still just two boys trying to hold each other together - and hold themselves together too.

They were each other's first love. And their first heartbreak. Felix and Hyunjin haven't spoken since high school-since one goodbye tore them apart. Now they're debuting in the same idol group. To the world, they're rivals. Strangers. Behind closed doors, they're something messier. Bitten-back words. Lingering stares. A history neither of them knows how to bury. But feelings don't fade just because time passes. And love doesn't always listen to reason. Because what do you do when the boy you thought you lost forever... is standing right in front of you again? This is their second first love. And maybe-just maybe-it's the one that lasts.

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.
