Burned hearts ||heejake

Heeseung had his heart shattered by his first love, leaving him bitter and reckless. Ever since, he's lived like a rebel-smoking, drinking, and filling the emptiness in his chest with fleeting nights and nameless partners. Being the only son of a wealthy CEO, he's spoiled, entitled, and untouchable, skipping school whenever he pleases, knowing no one dares to call him out.

Then comes Jake-a boy who couldn't be more different. Sweet, hardworking, and angelic, Jake comes from a struggling family. Every day he works part-time jobs to help his parents and siblings, sacrificing his own youth for their survival. Despite his hardships, he remains optimistic and gentle, carrying an innocent charm that draws people to him.

When Heeseung first sees Jake, his spoiled instincts kick in: he wants to conquer him, to add Jake to his endless list of casual conquests. But Jake isn't like the others-he's not easily swayed by money, looks, or reckless charm. The closer Heeseung gets, the more he realizes Jake isn't someone you can own for a night. He's someone who teaches you what love actually means.

For the first time, Heeseung will have to confront his own emptiness and scars-and risk falling for the boy who might just heal him.
