He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to stay. But he did. This isn't a story of perfect beginnings. It's one of slow healing, unexpected love, and the boy who stayed. ~~~~~ Minho was taught to be the perfect son - obedient, devoted, and shaped by his mother's rigid beliefs. Outwardly, he's an extrovert who easily befriends others, but this is just a façade hiding his true struggles. Jisung, quiet and reserved in comparison, may stay more in the background, but he is fiercely loyal and loud with his friends, unafraid to be himself. When fate places them in the same orbit, sparks fly - not the good kind, not at first. But beneath the biting words and careful distance, something tender begins to grow. As the seasons shift and their lives entwine, what starts as something uncertain turns into something undeniable. With the quiet strength of a hand held during a storm, and laughter shared over late-night dinners, affection takes root in the most unexpected place. But healing doesn't follow a straight line - and Minho's past still echoes loudly. In a world that didn't make space for boys like him, Jisung becomes the one who stays. The one who waits. The one who shows him what real love can look like. This is a story about falling - into truth, into fear, into love. And about the boy who never let go. A love letter to the one who stayed.

Jisung pensait que son année allait être tranquille. Étudier, éviter les ennuis, et se faire discret comme toujours. Mais c'était avant de rentrer violemment dans Minho - glacial, sarcastique, et surtout du genre à ne pas laisser passer ce genre d'accident. À partir de là, tout s'enchaîne : les regards assassins, les remarques cinglantes, et cette guerre froide permanente dans les couloirs de l'université. Jusqu'au jour où une altercation pousse la direction à les forcer à travailler ensemble. Ils ne se supportent pas. Et plus ils se croisent, plus la tension monte. Jisung n'a pas l'intention de se laisser écraser. Minho non plus. Mais il suffit d'un frisson, d'un ordre, d'un gémissement... pour que tout bascule. Ce qui commençait comme une rivalité va vite devenir un jeu de pouvoir, de contrôle, de tentation. Et quand Minho lui murmure "Tell me you hate me", Jisung est bien incapable de répondre. Il voulait juste l'ignorer. Il a fini par ne plus voir que lui.
