I didn't know that the first time I saw him behind that counter, I would fall-hard...
He has beautiful blond hair that caught the light like spun gold, doe-brown eyes framed by lashes too long for a mortal, soft, pink lips that looked like they could taste sweet even without sugar...
And those freckles-God, those freckles. They were my favorite thing about him. They were scattered across his cheeks like someone had spilled a handful of stars and forgot to pick them up. If you stared long enough, you could trace constellations in them.
I did..
I still do...
Exquisite...
That's the only word for him...
Exquisite in a way that makes your throat go dry and your hands ache to reach out. Ethereal, untouchable-like he's been carved out of something purer than the rest of us.
And yet, the longer I watched, the more I felt something ugly bloom beneath the awe. A panic, a possessiveness, the kind of fear that creeps in when you realize a treasure isn't yours-and that someone else might see what you see.
Some fool could walk through that door tomorrow, smile at him, and take him away...
I can't let that happen.
He's MINE...
He doesn't know it yet, but he is. And I won't stop until he understands...until he's standing where he belongs-right next to me.
They were each other's first love.
And their first heartbreak.
Felix and Hyunjin haven't spoken since high school-since one goodbye tore them apart.
Now they're debuting in the same idol group.
To the world, they're rivals. Strangers.
Behind closed doors, they're something messier.
Bitten-back words. Lingering stares. A history neither of them knows how to bury.
But feelings don't fade just because time passes.
And love doesn't always listen to reason.
Because what do you do when the boy you thought you lost forever...
is standing right in front of you again?
This is their second first love.
And maybe-just maybe-it's the one that lasts.
