The Orchard Keeper | Hyunlix

"Some houses remember. Some lovers do too."
There are places where the dead never rest - and people who never forget, no matter how much they claim to. In the decaying heart of a forgotten orchard, two men meet. One has been watching. One has been summoned.
And neither of them is safe."

In a remote countryside estate, surrounded by a dying orchard and endless fog, Felix works as a live-in caretaker for a crumbling manor owned by a reclusive family with a cursed legacy.

He's young, quiet, and doesn't ask questions - ideal for a job where the locals whisper about madness, disappearances, and strange sounds in the night.

One day, Hyunjin arrives - the estranged heir of the estate, freshly returned from an asylum abroad, draped in silk and secrets. Pale, volatile, and disarmingly beautiful, Hyunjin claims he's here to reclaim what's his. But Felix soon realizes he's been brought here for a reason - and it's not to tend trees.

The orchard is rotting. The house is shifting. And at night, Hyunjin wanders barefoot through the halls, talking to things that aren't there.

Despite the dread curling at his spine, Felix finds himself drawn to Hyunjin's broken brilliance - to the magnetic way he speaks of love, death, and fate like they're the same thing. As their connection deepens, so does the sense that the house wants something from them both.
