Everyone loves Lee Minho.
The perfect grades, the perfect smile, the perfect mask.
He's the Golden Boy of his school, and no one sees the pressure crushing him beneath the surface.
Han Jisung is the transfer student.
Sharp eyes and sharper rumors.
He doesn't smile. He doesn't try. And he doesn't care what anyone thinks, except when it comes to Minho.
They're complete opposites.
But Jisung is the only one who sees through Minho's flawless act.
And Minho is the only one who notices Jisung's silence isn't cold... it's protective.
They weren't supposed to care.
But somehow, broken recognizes broken.
And maybe... they don't have to face it alone anymore.
Two boys. One hiding behind perfection, the other behind silence.
And somehow? They're the only ones who see each other clearly.
In a world full of people who only want the version of them that fits expectations, they become each other's safe space. Not perfect, but real.

Fragile Hearts |🌹| Minsung
Jisung has always lived by the rules. The perfect son. The perfect student. The perfect image. Raised by wealthy, strict, and homophobic parents, he's spent his entire life hiding who he truly is - trying to meet every expectation placed on him, even if it means suffocating his own desires and dreams. But when Jisung finds himself drawn to Minho, the university's notorious bad boy, everything begins to unravel. When their paths cross at university, Jisung is immediately captivated by the sharp contrast between Minho's careless exterior and the quiet intensity he can't ignore. But Jisung's world is complicated. His parents have made it clear that he must follow their expectations - expectations that forbid anything that even hints at rebellion, especially not a relationship with someone like Minho. The closer Jisung gets to Minho, the more dangerous it feels. But the more he tries to push Minho away, the stronger his feelings grow.Complete
Sugar&Ink || Minsung
Jisung has always been good at pretending-pretending he's okay, pretending he's not still haunted by the echoes of his past. Between long shifts at the café and trying to rebuild his life, he convinces himself that loneliness is easier than letting people in. Then Minho walks in-sharp-eyed, tattooed, and devastatingly kind. And for some reason, he keeps coming back. Minho isn't sure what it is about Jisung that tugs at his heart so fiercely. Maybe it's the way he always puts on a smile, even when his eyes are tired. Maybe it's because Minho knows what it's like to fight for something you love. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because from the first moment he saw Jisung, he was already his. But healing isn't linear, and love isn't always enough to erase the past. As Jisung and struggles to believe he's worthy of kindness, and Minho tries to prove that not everyone leaves, they find themselves caught in a slow-burn dance of love, loss, and second chances. Everything about this story is fictional, there is no reference to real life or the people themselves. I don't own any pictures or names.

Honestly I'm a writer who formulates short stories by using peoples names as characters I thought it would be fun to write a fanfic for once. Don't take this story seriously! I love their friendship so much! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL IDOLSComplete
Accidental Liking || hjs - lmh
Han Jisung never planned to fall in love on the school trip. Especially not with Lee Minho. The same Minho who once threw a pen at his head. The same Minho whose stare used to feel like a threat. But somehow, between stolen lighters, forbidden joints, and a drunk teacher who stopped caring, the hate started to fade. And something else took its place. Something terrifying. Addicting. Real. Now Jisung's high, confused, and sitting across from the boy who carried him like a princess up a flight of stairs - like none of the history mattered. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe they were never enemies. Maybe they were always just waiting for a reason to collide. -- #15 -> minsung / 5. July 2025Complete

The Shape of the After
They were always close - but never allowed to touch. Until one night, they crossed the line. Jisung has always loved Minho in silence. But when one fragile night pulls them together, the morning after tears them apart. Now Minho is distant. Cold. A ghost of the person Jisung thought he knew. Jisung can't stop replaying that night, trying to make sense of the silence that followed. But beneath the tension, something else is unraveling - something Minho is desperately hiding, even as his body begins to betray him. Trapped between what they feel and what they're allowed to have, both must navigate the weight of secrecy, sacrifice, and heartbreak - before the space between them becomes permanent. A story of love left unspoken, desire unfulfilled, and the ache of holding on when everything tells you to let go.
Minho and Jisung are childhood best friends. They're inseparable. Until Jisung started acting strange, suddenly trying to distance himself from Minho and realising it was one of his biggest mistakes yet.
