North was never meant to let anyone in.
Born with the ability to see the exact moment someone will die, he did spent his life in fear - not of death, but of love.
Because loving someone has always meant watching them go.
And there was Johan.
The only one who has made North feel safe enough to almost believe in something more.
But he died.
Right in front of North and he never saw it coming.
When Johan miraculously comes back to life, North sees nothing.
No time, no ending, no glimpse of fate.
And that terrifies him more than death ever did.
Because in the end,
it was never death that haunted him.
The fear was love itself.

DARE
North is the kind of person one might easily mistake for an angel. But as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. Beneath that angelic facade lies a mischievous spirit who thrives on attention. North is a natural flirt, effortlessly magnetic, and he rarely resists the thrill of a challenge-especially when it comes wrapped in the form of a daring game. He doesn't shy away from risks; in fact, he welcomes them with a smirk and a glint of recklessness in his eyes. Johan, on the other hand, is the complete antithesis. His very presence commands silence; a single glare from him can make even the boldest person falter. He is the embodiment of intensity-gruff, intimidating, and perpetually on edge. There's a dangerous allure about him, the kind that warns you to stay away even as it dares you to come closer. Johan is not the type of person one typically challenges-but for someone like North, that only makes him all the more irresistible. 🚫 Do not copy or replicate my work 🚫Complete

Endless Vow of Love
The heavy door clicked shut, the sound echoing in the sudden silence of the grand room. North was gone. Johan stood frozen, the harsh words still ringing in his ears, a cruel symphony of rejection. "I never wanted this marriage... I will never love you... My heart belongs to someone else... to me, you're nothing." Each phrase was a fresh stab, twisting in the wound of his already aching heart. He'd known, deep down. He'd seen the way North's eyes never quite met his, the subtle flinches, the distant politeness that felt colder than outright hostility. But to hear it articulated so starkly, so brutally, stripped away any lingering illusions. This wasn't a misunderstanding or a temporary dislike. This was an absolute, unequivocal declaration of no love, no future, no hope. The lavish room, meant to be a symbol of their new life, now felt like a gilded cage. Every opulent detail, from the heavy drapes to the intricate carvings on the mantelpiece, seemed to mock his one-sided devotion. He was a husband in name, but in North's eyes, he was less than a stranger-a nothingComplete
The Fate's Error
The words hung in the air between them, sharper than any blade. "Johan, I love you," he whispered, a plea wrapped in desperation. Then, almost as an afterthought, a twist of the knife, "But I don't... I told you so many times, the person I love is not you. Why can't you love me? You're mine, Johan." Johan felt a bitter laugh catch in his throat. Mine? He took a step back, the familiar ache in his chest flaring. "I was never yours to begin with," he said, each word a stone dropped into the quiet space between them. It was the truth, stark and unforgiving, a boundary his admirer refused to see, even as it loomed like a wall.Complete
