Heeseung has always kept to himself - the smart, untouchable perfectionist with a quiet presence and a sharp gaze. His world runs on routine, loyalty, and zero distractions. Jake is the complete opposite - cheerful, friendly, and freshly transferred from Australia. With a heart on his sleeve and two best friends at his side, he's ready to make this school his new home. But when a surprise project forces them into each other's orbit, sparks fly - and not all of them are friendly. As tension turns to something more complicated, the lines between rivalry, friendship, and love start to blur. And in a school where secrets travel fast and hearts get hurt even faster, Heeseung and Jake must decide: is what's growing between them worth the risk?

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.

in which jake's gray, colorless life slowly gains color because of a red haired extrovert with too many maltesers that won't stop bothering him.

They never meant to fall in love. Hyunjin and Felix were supposed to be just best friends-the kind who could stay up all night laughing, or sit in silence without a single word and still understand everything. Through every change, every distance, every late-night call... they were each other's safe place. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. It wasn't sudden. It wasn't loud. It was quiet, slow, and a little terrifying. Like sparks you don't notice at first-until you realize they've been burning all along. This is a story about friendship, about the spaces in between, and about the moment you realize the person you've always needed has been right there beside you. Always.

The hardest thing about loving someone is trying not to love them. More so, when both of you are playing on the court. The universe has been unfair to Sim Jaeyun. For almost a year, he has been jealous of his spiker, his best friend, Lee Heeseung. He is everything Jake wasn't. Confident, radiant, effortlessly charming. And somewhere in that charm, Jake was pulled in. Now, he has to pretend the ache from yearning didn't consume him as he navigated what it takes to love someone enough to let them fly, even when it means being left behind. "Promise me that you won't forget about me. About us?" "I will never forget about you." And it seems like Heeseung has a thing of his own too.
