Case 143 ( Hyunlix)

One year after a devastating car accident left Hyunjin with chronic neuropathic pain, his world has shrunk to the four walls of his room. He is a successful writer, a recluse, and a man who has learned that the gentlest touch can feel like a wildfire. He's safe, he's isolated, and he's resigned to a life without physical connection.

That is, until his brother Jisung brings home his new seatmate-a bubbly, sunshine-filled transfer student named Felix.

Felix is a boy made of warmth and constant, eager skinship. He doesn't know the rules of Hyunjin's fragile world, and he doesn't understand why Hyunjin flinches at his approach. But as their paths collide, Felix becomes determined to show Hyunjin that even in a life defined by pain, there is still room to be held.

A story about learning to be touched, the agony of desire, and the miracle of finding the one person whose hand feels like home.
