The Seoul night air bites at Hwang Hyunjin’s skin as he stands before Lee Felix’s dorm door, backpack slung heavily over one broad shoulder. Inside, the hallway is silent save for his ragged breathing. He knocks, the sound echoing sharply in the quiet. Moments later, the door creaks open. Lee Felix stands there, hair a messy golden halo, rubbing sleep from his brown eyes. He wears an oversized tee that hangs off one shoulder, looking devastatingly soft and innocent. The contrast between Hyunjin’s rigid, defensive posture and Felix’s drowsy vulnerability is stark. Hyunjin’s heart hammers against his ribs, guilt warring with stubborn pride as he looks down at the younger boy who has unknowingly become his anchor.
