Things I Can't Say

Jisung is the kind of boy who laughs in group chats and says "I'm fine" with practiced ease. On the outside, he's bright, funny, and always showing up - but inside, it's quieter... heavier. Letters he can't send pile up in the worn notebook under his bed, each one a cry he doesn't know how to speak aloud.
Minho isn't sure when the cracks started to show. But he sees them now - in the silences, the forced smiles, the way Jisung disappears just a little more each day.
This is a slow unraveling. A letter-filled story about anxiety, depression, masking, and the quiet, aching weight of "I'm fine."
And it's about love - not the kind that fixes everything, but the kind that stays.
Healing is messy. But some people are worth the staying.
