After the silence.

Faust spent years perfecting the art of distance.

With icy blue eyes, a guarded heart, and a life built on carefully maintained silence, he's convinced himself that some chapters are better left closed. Some people are better left in the past.

Then a message arrives.

Are you still there?

Three simple words from the one person he never truly forgot.

Morian.

His first love. His greatest regret. The boy with storm-green eyes and unruly blond curls who once knew every hidden corner of Faust's soul-and the man who shattered it.

After years apart, a single meeting in a rain-soaked café forces them to confront everything they left unsaid. Old wounds reopen. Forgotten feelings resurface. And buried truths begin clawing their way back into the light.

But time changes people.

The quiet, distant man Faust has become is nothing like the boy Morian remembers. And Morian carries scars of his own-secrets that could explain why he left, and why he's come back now.

As memories blur with the present and the line between love and heartbreak grows thinner, both men must decide whether some stories deserve a second ending-or whether they're destined to remain unfinished.

Because silence can bury the truth.

But it can never erase it.
