Sunghoon × Sunoo
Description: Where Sunlight Sinks
Sunoo is sunlight in human form cheerful, kind, always smiling just a little too brightly. At school, he's everyone's favorite: the boy who brings warmth into every room. But no one sees the truth he hides beneath that perfect light.
After years of feeling like a burden unwanted at home, overlooked in his own life Sunoo learned it was easier to pretend. To smile. To laugh. To be the soft, gentle boy everyone liked, even when it hurt.
Then there's Sunghoon quiet, cold, and unreadable. A boy with a reputation as sharp as his stare. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't get close. But the first time he sees Sunoo lying alone in the lake, eyes lost to the ripples, something cracks inside him.
Sunghoon doesn't like people, but he can't ignore this boy who hides his sorrow under sunshine. And Sunoo tired of keeping everything in finds himself slowly drawn to the one person who sees past his mask.
As their quiet friendship deepens into something more, the water rises along with the risk of being truly seen.
A story about invisible pain, unlikely warmth, and learning to let someone in... even when you've spent your whole life pretending you're okay.
