Love You Less.

martin edwards park fell in love on a tuesday in september.

it wasn't dramatic. it was quiet - a boy laughing in a stairwell, afternoon light in dark hair, a feeling that wouldn't fade.

he fell slowly, then all at once.

nine months of watching. of wanting. of learning someone from a distance and carrying that knowledge like a secret. and then the distance closed. they became friends. made music together. existed in each other's lives in ways martin had never imagined possible.
he thought that was the hardest part. the pining, the uncertainty, the months of silence.

he was wrong.

this is a story about loving someone before you know them, and loving them more when you do. about getting what you wanted and realizing it's not what you needed. about the difference between wanting someone and being with them. about falling out of love, falling back in, and learning who you are in the spaces between.
this is about martin and juhoon. about music and memory and how high school feels like forever when you're living it.

it starts in a stairwell in september.
it starts with a feeling that changes everything.
it starts here.
