The Boy Everyone Feared

Yotha is the school's infamous bad boy. With his closest friends **Pond**, **Joong**, and **Aou** always at his side, he's known for starting trouble, breaking rules, and breaking hearts. Girls fall for his smirk and charm, but to him it's just a game - win them over, then walk away. Nothing ever feels real.

That changes the day **Solar** transfers in.

Solar is quiet. Too quiet. He keeps his head down, flinches at sudden touch, and goes pale at the sound of raised voices. Behind his shy exterior is a past full of scars - bullied relentlessly at his old school, and raised by parents who were abusive and never cared. From a young age, Solar learned to survive on his own. But trauma doesn't just disappear. It lives in his body, in every flinch and every sleepless night.

When Yotha first sees Solar, something shifts. For the first time, Yotha doesn't want to play games. He wants to be *his*. Slowly, without even realizing it, Yotha starts to change - the jokes get softer, the fights stop, the need to impress his friends fades. Even Pond, Joong, and Aou are confused by the new Yotha. But they don't question it, because they've never seen him this genuinely happy before.

This isn't a story about a bad boy saving a broken boy. It's about two people with their own wounds learning what it means to feel safe. To be chosen. To heal.

Because sometimes the loudest person in the room falls hardest for the one who can barely speak above a whisper.
