Jes is twenty-two.
He knows only neon nights, the taste of strangers' lips, and the hollow sound of his father's money slipping away. His GPA barely breathes above a 2.1, and one more stumble means being erased from his father's will. He also promised his brother to graduated in one year.
Bible is nineteen.
A ghost in the library stacks, his GPA a near-perfect 3.96. He doesn't waste his fragile energy on friends; silence is his safest companion. With a father on his deathbed and a mother lost too soon, survival is already heavy enough.
Jes needs a miracle. Bible needs money.
So Jes forces his arrogance into Bible's quiet world, demanding a mentorship neither of them truly wants. But what begins as a desperate transaction unravels into something neither boy dared to expect-an intimacy sharp enough to wound, tender enough to heal, and reckless enough to rewrite the rules of who they thought they were.
Two lives colliding.
One chasing salvation, the other clinging to survival.
And somewhere between the noise and the silence, they find a reason to stay.
