Bounded By Fatherhood

Joshua grew up with devoutly religious parents who refused to accept his identity. When he admitted he liked boys, they tried to beat his desires out of him, eventually forcing him into an arranged marriage with a woman. Despite the loveless union, Joshua respected his wife, and together they had twins. He resigned himself to a life without true love, but when his wife tragically passed away, he was left to raise their six-year-old twins alone.

Then, Joshua met Seokmin.

Seokmin, unlike his wealthy best friend Minghao, came from a middle-class family. His true passion was writing and literature, but financial struggles forced him to study science for a more stable career. With supportive yet struggling parents, Seokmin took any job he could find to help make ends meet-including babysitting his professor's children in exchange for free tuition.

What he didn't expect was for the professor's twins to start calling him "Dad." Or for the professor, Joshua, to kiss him goodnight.

Now, Seokmin finds himself torn between his dreams, his responsibilities, and the growing feelings he doesn't know how to handle. Could this unexpected connection finally bring love into both their lives?
