When Soobin transfers to an elite arts school in Seoul, all he wants is to blend in and make it through the year without drawing attention. Quiet, thoughtful, and carrying the weight of a past he won't speak of, Soobin is fine being invisible. Beomgyu, on the other hand, is the kind of boy everyone notices. Loud, charming, unapologetically himself - and the star of the school's music program. But behind his confident smile lies a mess of expectations, pressure, and a fear of never being enough. Their worlds collide when they're paired for a songwriting project neither of them wants. At first, they clash. Soobin thinks Beomgyu is reckless. Beomgyu thinks Soobin is cold. But as they spend late nights in the studio, arguing over lyrics and slowly letting their walls down, a tentative friendship forms - the kind that makes both of them feel seen for the first time in a long time. But feelings are complicated, timing is cruel, and when Beomgyu's ex - and biggest rival - returns to school, secrets unravel, jealousy ignites, and a choice must be made: confront the truth between them or risk losing it all. Because sometimes love isn't in the songs you write - it's in the silences, the glances, the things left unsaid.

Inspired by: "Back for More" (TXT) × "Those Eyes" (New West) Ship: Myungnyangz (Jaehyun × Sungho) AU: Café + Photography AU Tags: friends-to-lovers, slow burn, comfort, longing, artistic tension, slice of life Every night at 9:57 p.m., Jaehyun walks into Nyang's Brew - a quiet café tucked between an art studio and an old record shop. He orders the same thing every time: an iced americano and a smile from the barista who never quite looks him in the eye. Sungho doesn't know why he keeps showing up, or why Jaehyun sometimes lingers even after closing, camera slung across his shoulder, eyes tracing every line of light that touches him. For Jaehyun, it started as a photo project - "people who feel like music." For Sungho, it becomes something else entirely. Because every time that camera clicks, he swears he hears his heartbeat echo, come back for more.

In Our Innocent Days, the villain was never meant to be understood. He bullied. He ruined someone gentle. And then he vanished. That was the story everyone believed. I believed it too- until I became him.
