Desolation | Seungbin

"The world would fall the moment I'd let myself care too much..."

"Maybe this time it will be different."

Seungmin gave Chan his whole heart-and it was broken. Now he spends his days locked away in his room, hiding behind music, TV, and endless routines, convinced that love only brings pain.

His friends refuse to let him stay lost. They push, they tease, they set him up in small, awkward ways, hoping to remind him there's a world outside his walls.

And then someone unexpected enters his life. Quiet, persistent, impossible to ignore. Someone who makes him pause, think, and feel again.

It won't be easy. The past lingers. The walls are high. But even in the coldest, loneliest moments, hearts can thaw, and love can find its way back.
