They say silence heals.
But for Ni-ki, silence only ever made the noise in his head louder.

Smoke curls around him like a shield - a bad habit turned lifeline, a breath that burns but feels better than nothing. Beside him stands Heeseung, the only person stubborn enough to stay when the air gets too thick to breathe.

This is not a love story.
It's a story about the nights that are too long, about habits that feel safer than healing, and about two people trying to save each other from the silence they built.

Told through moments, days, and small fragments of time - Smoke and Silence follows Ni-ki's quiet fall and the slow, fragile climb that follows.

Sometimes the things we don't say are the ones that hurt the most.
And sometimes, they're the only thing keeping us alive.
