In a city where silence is survival and love is often a weapon, The Rooftop Between Us explores the bruised intimacy between Ezra Moore-a, a soft-spoken nursing student running from a legacy of pain, and the fractured men drawn to him.
Torn between the possessive heir Cha Seung-won and the calculating cousin Jin Seung-min, Ezra becomes more than a lover-he becomes a prize in a power struggle neither man intends to lose. With Amy Park, his fiercely loyal best friend, guarding his light, and ghosts of family trauma threatening to pull him under, Ezra must decide who he is when no one's watching... and whether survival means staying soft or breaking first.
Laced with sharp dialogue, quiet betrayals, and the slow burn of dangerous affection, this is a story about power, love, and the people we become to feel safe in our skin.

"I wondered if there would ever be a point when we didn't hesitate, or when my heart didn't pound so hard against my ribs when he undressed me. As much as I wanted it to feel more natural, I didn't want to lose how lightheaded and giddy it made me feel."
