Somewhere Beyond The Sea

Silence kept him alive.
Hope almost killed him.

For two years, Jisung has survived alone in a city overrun by the dead. He knows their differences-the blind ones that hunt by vibration, the deaf ones that watch and wait-and he knows that one wrong sound can mean being torn apart. The world is quiet now, stripped down to instinct and blood and fear.

Then he meets Minho.

Cautious, controlled, and terrifyingly capable, Minho has survived by planning for a future Jisung never allowed himself to imagine. Together, they move through streets and forests where danger shifts with every step, where traps lie hidden, and where the dead are not the only threat worth fearing. Trust is built slowly, through shared nights, close calls, and the unspoken understanding that survival is easier when you're not alone.

As their partnership deepens into something neither of them names-but both feel-the cost of caring becomes clear. Protecting each other means making impossible choices. Staying alive means risking loss. And the world has a way of punishing those who let themselves hope.

When an unsettling sign suggests that the world beyond the ruins may not be as empty as it seems, Jisung is forced to decide how far he's willing to go-not just to survive, but to believe.
