The Things We Hide

🌙 The Things We Hide 🌙

Nineteen-year-old Jeon Jungkook lives behind walls-walls built from phobias, scars, and the weight of being told he's never enough. To the world, he's quiet, withdrawn, untouchable. Piercings hint at rebellion, but his nature is fragile, guarded. Allergies, anxieties, and a long list of phobias-dogs, rabbits, darkness, crowds, even the color green-keep him isolated. Ballet is his only sanctuary, and his carefully structured solitude is something few dare to breach.

Next door lives Kim Leah, nineteen, ambiverted, with long black wavy hair and a warmth that draws people in. Slim, empathetic, and mature beyond her years, she juggles a double major in Economics and Statistics at Yonsei University while working part-time at a café. She bakes brownies for neighbors, offers quiet encouragement, and listens more than she speaks. Yet, behind her cat-eye glasses and gentle smiles, her diary holds the struggles she doesn't share with anyone else.

When a simple knock on the door turns into laughter in the rain, late-night confessions, and the fragile courage to trust, both Leah and Jungkook discover that love isn't about perfection. It's about finding someone who sees the pieces you're too afraid to show. Someone who understands the quiet chaos inside and stays anyway.

✨ The Things We Hide ✨ is a story of vulnerability, courage, and the beauty of being truly seen-where two people learn that connection can bloom even in the shadows, and that sometimes, the greatest love is the one that helps you face your own walls.
