A Sanctuary of Two

"He was the only person who made me feel like I was worth more than my mistakes."

Jake is a master of the mask. At home, he survives a mess he can't control; at school, he's the diligent student who refuses to break. He lives his life in the margins, always striving, always studying yet always sitting in the shadow of the boy to his left.

Park Sunghoon. The silent seatmate who is always two points higher, two steps ahead, and a thousand miles out of reach.

They are two parallel lines, always close, but never touching. But when the noise of Jake's family life becomes deafening, the quiet at their shared desk becomes the only place he can breathe. Jake thought he was competing with Sunghoon for grades, but he's about to realize he's been searching for a way into Sunghoon's world all along.

What happens when the only person who can outsmart you is the only one who can save you?
