Seungcheol has spent his whole life masking-hiding the parts of himself that others called "too much" or "too strange." Growing up autistic in a world that refused to understand, he learned to suppress his stims, force eye contact, and memorize social scripts to fit in. Now, as the leader of SEVENTEEN, he's perfected the act. But masking comes at a cost, and the cracks are beginning to show. As the pressure builds and the weight of expectation grows heavier, Seungcheol must confront the truth he's buried for years-before it breaks him completely.

A Love We Chose
Jeonghan has always lived life on his own terms-spoiled, mischievous, and used to getting what he wants. As the beloved Heir of Yoons, he thrives in the nightlife, surrounded by luxury, attention, and the unwavering support of his equally chaotic friends. Seungcheol is disciplined, composed, and strictly business. He doesn't have time for distractions, let alone a spoiled brat like Jeonghan, who seems to enjoy testing his limits. As their worlds collide, Jeonghan finds himself drawn to the man who refuses to bend to his whims, while Seungcheol struggles to resist the undeniable pull of the one person who manages to turn his world upside down. All written in this book are purely fictional. They're not true or whatsoever and in case there's something that's matched or related in Seventeen in real life, it's purely coincidence or something I add to make the story more realistic. Plagiarism is a crime! I know I'm not a professional writer but please don't copy my work. I worked hard for this>.< Thank you so much! Enjoy reading caratduel~Complete
