Chapter Text
Sim Jaeyun is seventeen years old, with the love of his life and the certainty that the world can wait.
Until two pink lines change his life forever.
Sometimes the decision that seems responsible isn’t the right one.
With no money, no home, and no one but each other, Jake and Sunghoon learn the hard way what it means to survive when love is the only thing left in their bank account.
A freezing apartment, sleepless nights, a life struggling to breathe, and the question that haunts them every sunrise: How far can pride go before it turns into poison?
Caught between the misery crushing them and the wounds that refuse to heal, they’ll have to decide if clinging to their independence is worth watching what they love most slowly die… or if, for the first time, lowering their heads isn’t surrendering — it’s saving the most precious thing they have.
Because sometimes home isn’t the place where you were born. It’s the place you choose, over and over again.
