After a lifetime of pretending to be strong, Hyunjin finally finds someone who sees all his cracks. And Felix? He's more than willing to hold the broken pieces-softly, gently, endlessly. Felix is just another college student working at Starbucks, balancing his classes and late shifts, and secretly enjoying the warmth of his small circle of friends-Minho, Seungmin, Chan, Jeongin, Changbin, and Jisung. Life is simple, comfortable, and predictable. Then one crisp fall morning, Hwang Hyunjin walks in. Cold. Distant. Frustrated. The kind of boy who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders-and doesn't let anyone see it. With a sharp voice and a dismissive attitude, Hyunjin orders his iced coffee... only to stop mid-word when he looks up. Felix. Blonde hair. Silver glasses. Nose ring. Eyebrow piercing. All-black attire that somehow suits his warmth and confidence. That smile-soft, inviting, impossibly genuine. Hyunjin is momentarily undone, caught off guard in a way he hasn't been in years. Though they don't know each other personally, their social circles overlap, creating a quiet tension and the possibility for connection. Felix feels an unfamiliar tug toward the cold, guarded boy, while Hyunjin finds himself inexplicably drawn to the warmth Felix radiates-something he's been starving for emotionally. Slowly, the boy who's used to hiding behind a cold facade begins to lower his walls. And Felix, ever patient, ever gentle, is there to meet him-not with grand gestures, but with quiet presence, tender touches, and endless understanding. In a world that expects strength and perfection, sometimes the most radical act is letting someone in.

They aren't friends. They aren't enemies. They just... exist near each other. Hyunjin and Felix-two seniors who barely speak-are thrown into a school project that requires more than flashcards and presentations. One house. One newborn. Two very different boys trying to raise her. They expected chaos. They didn't expect each other. Hyunjin: Stubborn, a bit of a control freak, allergic to messes. Loves the idea of cooking but sets off the fire alarm trying. Has a dangerously dirty mind and zero filter. Felix: Quiet, but don't mistake that for soft-his sharp tongue and smooth charm do all the talking. Secretly hates cooking, but could feed a whole village. A little freaky, a little flirty, and hard to read.

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 never expected to be writing a paper with the boy he swore was his academic nemesis. Felix never expected to fall asleep on said nemesis's couch after a long night of kid-induced chaos. Between diaper bags, film screenings, petty revenge, and coffee-fueled bickering, their rivalry becomes something hotter-something neither of them are ready for. But with every stolen glance and accidental soft moment, it gets harder to remember why they hated each other to begin with. And when feelings enter the picture-just as Felix's past threatens to resurface-they'll have to choose what matters most: pride, protection... or love.

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.

He's rain-soaked, cigarette-stained, and completely untouchable. Until I touched him. In the middle of a Seoul downpour, Felix meets a stranger beneath a flickering streetlamp. Hyunjin is homeless, high, and hiding from the world-with sharp words and trembling hands that don't know how to be held. He smokes like it's the only thing keeping him warm. He doesn't believe in kindness. Or second chances. But Felix isn't walking away. Not tonight. Not ever.
