The soft hum of the evening settled over Felix’s room, a sanctuary where the weight of his scars and crutches seemed to fade into the shadows. He sat on the edge of his bed, the leather of his forearm crutches creaking softly as he shifted, his boba eyes downcast. The air was thick with unspoken fears—fears of his distorted body, his hidden surgeries, and the terrifying realization that his heart was beating for Jisung, a boy. Outside, the world judged; inside, for the first time, he felt seen. The sleepover was quiet, but the tension in Felix’s chest was loud, a silent plea for acceptance in a world that demanded perfection.
