always love. • hyunin ff

Hyunjin thought some people were meant to stay in the past-tucked neatly between yearbook photos and half-forgotten promises. Jeongin was one of them. They had been inseparable once, the kind of friends who knew each other without asking, until life pulled them onto different paths and neither of them looked back.

Years later, in 2026, a chance encounter brings everything rushing back.

Jeongin isn't the same boy Hyunjin remembers. He's softer in some ways, more tired in others-and never alone. Because in his arms is a baby boy, his son. A life Hyunjin knew nothing about. A responsibility Jeongin carries quietly as a single father, far too young, yet somehow strong enough.

What starts as awkward conversations and lingering glances slowly turns into something deeper-something unfinished. Old feelings resurface, tangled with everything left unsaid, growing stronger in the spaces between late-night talks and gentle moments shared with a child who begins to recognize Hyunjin's presence.

But time has changed them, and love isn't as simple as it once was.

Now, they have to decide-are they just two people who used to know each other, or something that was always meant to find its way back?
