He never planned to love him. Taehyung lived in control - cold, untouchable, buried in power and silence after losing everything that once made him human. Love, to him, was a weakness... a risk he could never afford again. Then Jungkook entered his life. Not as someone he chose. But as someone he needed. A deal. A name. A presence that stayed quietly in the background of his dangerous world. Jungkook was never supposed to matter... never supposed to be more than a tool he used when required. But Jungkook didn't leave. Didn't break. Didn't beg. He stayed. Through cold nights, through distance, through a love that was never spoken... Jungkook slowly began to feel something Taehyung refused to give. And in that silence, something fragile began to grow - something Taehyung never learned how to recognize. Until the moment Jungkook started slipping away. And suddenly, the man who never believed in love... found himself losing the only person who ever truly stayed. Now, it's not about control anymore. It's about regret. And jealousy. Because watching Jungkook move on... is the one thing Taehyung was never prepared to face.

Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."
