    Summary

    Jay wants to reach out and say stop pretending, but he knows he can’t. He’s the reason Jungwon’s pretending in the first place. He’s the reason Jungwon’s speaking like someone told him exactly what kind of person Jay would want — quiet, agreeable, easy to accommodate.

    The words stick to his tongue like dried blood.

    “Jungwon, I just— you can hate me,” he settles on finally, “I wouldn’t blame you.”

    There’s a pause. Jungwon blinks, and then his expression softens just a little. He gives a small shrug, elegant and weightless.

    “I don’t,” he says. “I don’t feel much of anything right now.”

    Summary

    Born just minutes apart, Baekhyun and his twin share the same face—but only one of them gets to be seen.

    While laughter rises from the garden below and cameras flash for the golden son, Baekhyun watches from behind the attic window, dressed in borrowed clothes and dreams too soft for this world. He blows out a candle no one lit for him. He hums the birthday song alone.

    He is not locked away, just forgotten. Not bruised where it shows, only where it stays. He grows up tracing sunlight through dust, dancing to music that isn’t his, painting futures that never arrive.

    This is a story of scars you can’t see, of a boy who blows out candles alone, and the cruelest kind of love: the kind that never wanted him to exist.

    Summary

    After a tragic fall and a long recovery, Lee Minho’s dream of becoming an idol is shattered. He shuts that chapter of his life completely, cutting ties with anything related to the K-pop world. Now, he lives quietly as a choreographer at a neighborhood dance school, teaching hip-hop and tango — and spending his afternoons wrangling a group of energetic 5- to 7-year-olds. Who would’ve thought?
    Everything changes one evening after what seemed like a typical workday — well, maybe not that typical — when he witnesses a boy jump into a river. What Minho believes to be a suicide attempt turns out to be something else entirely: an act of courage. The boy had leapt in to save a drowning kitten.
    That’s how Han Joon enters his life — and the two begin caring for the kitten together.
    But Han Joon is hiding a secret too big to ignore. And when the truth comes out, Minho will have no choice but to face it… even if it means coming undone in the process.
