stage left, heart right | mattparkz

Gunwook and Matthew debuted together, trained together, laughed and cried through the chaos of survival shows and sleepless nights. Now, as rising stars in ZB1, they've got everything they dreamed of. Except each other.

Gunwook is the golden boy. Tall, talented, and always reliable. But behind his fierce stage presence is a boy who's terrified of wanting more than he's allowed.

Matthew is the sunshine. Warm smiles, soft laughter, the member everyone naturally gravitates to. But even the brightest stars burn when they're forced to hide their truth.

One accidental late night touch, one too long glance during rehearsal, one shared hotel room and suddenly the years of tension between them threaten to unravel. In a world where image is everything, they have to choose.

Risk everything for love, or stay in the shadows where it's safe.
