Time passed, but the hurt stayed. Some people enter your life so early that losing them feels like losing a part of yourself. This isn't about love coming easy. It's about grief that hardens, anger that protects, and two people trying to survive the damage they caused each other without knowing how to let go. TW! Self-harm, anxiety, homophobia, violence, harsh language, the scenes are quite graphic. Safe reading!!

Love at first sight was a myth to Lee Minho. Attraction, maybe. Curiosity, sure. But love? Never. Then Han Jisung walked through the university gates-small, shy, eyes lowered -and Minho found himself falling head over heels without meaning to. Minho's world softened in ways he never expected. Jisung doesn't try to be noticed. He prefers empty seats, quiet corners, and staying invisible. Minho notices anyway. Jisung prefers silence and solitude. Minho prefers walking beside him. A gentle university love story filled with rainy days, shared umbrellas, and feelings too tender to be spoken aloud.

Jisung's stone heart contains crystal tears. In a world of mafia and danger, these are shed. "I hate you." "Liar." TWS!! ⚠️ -SA -violence -injuries -throwing up -smut -trauma -death -others

Korea's Youngest CEO-sharp suit, sharper gaze. The University's Doll-too pretty, too elegant to be real. --- "Look at me," Minho murmured. Jisung didn't. "Jisung..." Still nothing. "Doll, look at me... please." And that was it-the nickname slipped past his defenses, pulling his gaze upward until their eyes finally met. Every pout, every glance, every whispered word-Minho was already undone. Every smile, every touch, every unspoken promise-Jisung found himself falling deeper

On Jisung's seventeenth birthday a kingdom they had been allied with for centuries suddenly attacks and takes over. He loses his family, is stripped of his prince title and thrown away. Minho takes his place for his father, the new king, and the kingdom falls to havoc. Jisung vows to hate Minho and the king and to one day take back the throne, but things change when his heart gets in the way.
