Come for the wedding. Stay for the chaos and love.

martin edwards park fell in love on a tuesday in september. it wasn't dramatic. it was quiet - a boy laughing in a stairwell, afternoon light in dark hair, a feeling that wouldn't fade. he fell slowly, then all at once. nine months of watching. of wanting. of learning someone from a distance and carrying that knowledge like a secret. and then the distance closed. they became friends. made music together. existed in each other's lives in ways martin had never imagined possible. he thought that was the hardest part. the pining, the uncertainty, the months of silence. he was wrong. this is a story about loving someone before you know them, and loving them more when you do. about getting what you wanted and realizing it's not what you needed. about the difference between wanting someone and being with them. about falling out of love, falling back in, and learning who you are in the spaces between. this is about martin and juhoon. about music and memory and how high school feels like forever when you're living it. it starts in a stairwell in september. it starts with a feeling that changes everything. it starts here.

Juhoon wants Martin to stop smoking; if he wants to get rid of his stress so badly, he should kiss him. • • • • × Just a short, cute story × I wrote this for fun and with no harmful intentions. Don't relate fiction with reality. ⚠️ I do NOT think Martin smokes nor do I want you guys to think that, this is a simple FICTIONAL story. × Thanks for reading! <3

#Short story Some people say grief comes in stages. Denial, anger, bargaining, acceptance. Juhoon never made it past the first one. The problem is... he doesn't know that yet.

It started as fanservice. A joke, a ship name, a few staged moments meant to make fans happy. But when the cameras turn off and the feelings stay, Martin and Juhoon realize the most dangerous part of pretending to be in love... is accidentally falling for real.

Kim Juhoon has three rules: ignore noise, never lose a fight, and don't fall in love. Martin Edwards breaks all of them.

Do you think it will get better? Juhoon questions himself everyday. He wants to move on, because that's what Martin would've wanted. For him to find happiness. But, moving on also meant letting go, and Juhoon doesn't think he's ready to let go.

Martin and juhoon of cortis.

"I'll marry him." Not a performance. Not a rescue. Not a dramatic declaration. Just - a decision.

Martin skates like it's the only thing keeping him steady, except Juhoon is always there, watching from the sidelines, impossible to ignore.
