A rivals-to-lovers story about two male high school students, where competition blurs into connection and an unnamed feeling slowly takes shape. What begins as rivalry for survival and ambition quietly transforms into something neither of them is ready to name, felt in lingering glances, unfinished conversations, and moments that mean more than they should. ••• This is a fanfiction short story written primarily in English, with a touch of Filipino/Tagalog. Some embedded images, particularly text conversations are presented in Taglish.

"I was engineered not to feel this." "Feel what?" "Whatever happens when you look at me like that." 2025, Seoul: Jay Gaspar is a reclusive coder who hasn't left his apartment in months, haunted by the night he lost his brother. His only talent, seeing patterns others can't: in code, in people, in the very fabric of reality itself. 2105, Allied Korea: STEV.N-01 is a genetically modified super soldier from a decimated future where six billion died from corporate genetic manipulation. His mission: Travel back 80 years to protect the one person whose DNA could prevent the apocalypse. When Steven materializes in Jay's apartment claiming to be from the future, Jay's carefully maintained isolation shatters. Now they're on the run from MedTech corporations, time police, and everyone who wants Jay's legendary genetics, because Jay isn't just special: he's the original Pattern Recognizer, the pure template that future scientists died trying to replicate. But something's wrong. Every time Steven touches Jay, his temperature spikes. Every time Jay looks at Steven, the patterns align in ways that make no sense. They're drawn together like magnets, fighting an attraction that defies Steven's engineering and Jay's logic. With only days to save the world and Steven's enhanced body degrading from temporal damage, they'll have to solve the greatest pattern of all: Why does the future insist that Jay is his "jin-saram"- his one true person across time? featuring: Steven, JL, Park Han, Woongki, and Kyungho Time Travel Paradox | Action | Cyberpunk Romance

Steven doesn't complain. Not to his family, not to his friends, not to anyone. He's the reliable one, the calm one, the guy who always has it together. ...Except he doesn't. One bad day, he stumbles across Rent A Friend-a website where you pay to talk, vent, or just waste thirty minutes of your life with a stranger. It's supposed to be a one-time thing. Just thirty minutes. Just a random voice on the other line. But then JL picks up his call. JL-sarcastic, sassy, and way too good at making him laugh when he's supposed to be brooding-becomes the highlight of Steven's nights. What was supposed to be "just a service" turns into a habit... and maybe something dangerously close to a connection. There's only one catch: ❌ No personal info. ❌ No meeting in real life. ❌ No exceptions. But when video calls and slip-ups start blurring the lines, Steven finds himself falling for the voice on the other end of the line. And JL? He might just be falling, too. A fluffy, slow-burn romcom about late-night calls, accidental feelings, and discovering that sometimes, love really is just a call away.
