Some stories don't end the way you hope.
          They tricked him. They lured him. And just when it felt like the worst was finally over...
          the night had one last thing to take.
          
          "If I had to do it all again... I'd still choose you."
          
          A ring in a broken box. A notebook full of unsent words. A candle blown out by the wind.
          And a man learning — slowly, painfully — that love doesn't disappear when someone does.
          It just finds new ways to stay alive.
          
          "I'm ready... to keep living, too."
          
          Not every love story ends with forever.
          Some end with something quieter.
          Something that stays.
          
          THE END

After the storm... comes the quiet.
          The battles are over. The truth has been told. Justice has been served.
          And for the first time in what feels like forever — they get to just be.
          Lazy mornings. Stolen kisses. Dreams of cafés and ordinary days.
          A future that finally feels possible.
          
          "Just us."
          
          But peace, it seems, has a way of not lasting long.
          Because just when everything feels whole...
          "Joshua, can we talk?"

Every story has a beginning.
          This one started with a puppy, a park, and two little boys who didn't know the world would one day try to destroy them.
          Before the guns. Before the lies. Before the grief.
          There was Joshua. There was Seokmin. There was Mingyu.
          And a love so fierce — it ran straight into danger without looking back.
          
          "Promise me you'll live. No matter what happens."
          
          Some promises are made in warmth.
          Some are made in blood.
          And some... are kept long after the person who asked for them is gone

He came back.
          Not as a weapon. Not as a stranger.
          Just... him.
          After all the silence, all the pain, all the words left unsaid — one name was enough to bring it all crashing down.
          "Bambi."
          
          But even in the warmth of finally coming home to each other...
          the danger never left.
          
          Some reunions are stolen moments.
          And stolen moments never last long enough.

A week of silence. A lifetime of secrets.
          Dokyeom came back — but not the way Joshua hoped.
          Cold eyes. Steady hands. A war already set in motion.
          And yet...
          He left something behind.
          
          "Find the dog, and you will get your answers."
          
          A name scrawled at the bottom of a note.
          A stuffed toy with a secret stitched inside.
          And a truth so devastating — it changes everything Joshua thought he knew about the boy he lost twice.
          
          Some people don't come back as strangers.
          They come back as ghosts of someone you already loved.

Grief makes people dangerous.
          And vengeance makes them unrecognizable.
          Two broken people. Two different rooms. One shared devastation.
          While Joshua falls apart holding onto a book of flowers and the memory of a love he never got to name...
          Dokyeom is already sharpening his blade.
          
          "Strip them down piece by piece. And when there's nothing left... take them."
          
          The cruelest wars aren't fought by enemies.
          They're fought by the people who once made you feel safe.

Trust is a fragile thing.
          And someone just shattered it.
          Dokyeom is missing. The clock is ticking. And Joshua will tear through anyone who stands between them.
          But what happens when the person you'd die for... points a gun at your head?
          
          "Because of you, I lost everything."
          
          Some rescues come too late.
          Some truths arrive at the worst possible moment.
          And some words — even the most honest ones — aren't enough to save you.

Some doors are better left closed.
          One argument. One unanswered question. One pair of legs that carried him somewhere his mind had forgotten... but his heart never did.
          Dokyeom didn't mean to find it.
          But the house found him.
          And with it — fragments of a life, a love, and a secret too dangerous to remember.
          
          "No matter what happens... you need to stay alive."
          
          The past has a way of catching up.
          Sometimes... it hits harder than you expect.

He was rescued. Not chosen.
          Dokyeom knew his place in Joshua's world — or at least, he thought he did.
          But somewhere between stolen glances, quiet notes left on nightstands, and a bouquet of yellow tulips... the lines began to blur.
          Was this real? Or was he simply... convenient?
          When cruel words from the wrong people plant a seed of doubt, Dokyeom is forced to confront a truth he's been trying to ignore.
          And Joshua?
          He's running out of time to prove that convenient was never the word he had in mind.
          
          "How can a sidechick feel anything at all?"
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/398113974

He knew it was wrong.
          He did it anyway.
          
          When the heart has been holding back for too long, even the strongest walls crumble. In the quiet of the night, between stolen warmth and unspoken fears — two people cross a line neither of t hem can take back.
          And the hardest part isn't what happened. It's knowing what it meant... and knowing it changes everything.
