universe was a weird thing. and from what was apparent- it definitely didn't like park jay's vibe. sensitive, solemn, emotional. these words were enough to describe the eighteen-year-old, navigating through his love for music and academic validation no one asked for. the universe thought a little pain won't hurt. what it did though, probably changed jay for worse. a breakup, simple. love slipping away, trust felt for the first time just memories. nothing much, right? but for jay- the one who felt too much for his own good, it was the final sign that told him to shut himself down from the world. all it did was hurt anyway. but you see, universe is as imperfect as any sleep deprived teenager. and sometimes, it brought new people in one's periphery, defying its own cruel agenda. this new person in question? yang jungwon. average film major, sunoo's bestfriend from two years before, a little awkward. they met for the first time at a house party, how strangers meet stranger, small talks and hesitation that soon bloomed into adoration. between soft proximity and softer feelings, they take their time. unhurried, gentle. the way blooming love is supposed to feel- until the mere presence of eachother became homes they searched for. a sigh. yang jungwon was a normal boy, yes. just too keen on confronting the universe about how lovable park jay really was, until it gave up. started: february 25th, 2026. finished: ? BOOK ONE OF 𖤐

When they were twelve, they buried a promise under an old tree. To stay together. To never leave anyone behind. To choose each other - always. Years later, university brings them back under the same sky. Kim Sunoo - photography major with golden hair and sharper words than he lets on. Yang Jungwon - student council president, steady and warm, the kind of boy everyone trusts. Nishimura Riki - dance prodigy and basketball captain, once the clingy younger kid who followed them everywhere... now taller, quieter, harder to ignore. They were childhood best friends. Now? Ni-ki's teasing feels less harmless. Jungwon's touches linger longer than they should. And Sunoo - who hides everything behind smiles and camera flashes - starts realizing he isn't the only one who remembers the promise. Around them, their world keeps moving. Heeseung and Sunghoon's tension simmers quietly behind locked practice rooms. Jay and Jake bicker like it's a sport - until it doesn't feel like a joke anymore. Everyone is growing up. Everyone is changing. But some things remain the same. Like the way Ni-ki still looks at Sunoo like he never stopped following him. Like the way Jungwon still reaches for Sunoo first in a crowded room. Some promises are easy to make at twelve. Some are harder to keep at twenty - especially when the heart doesn't want to choose. Golden hour fades into evening. Evening slips into night. And maybe... they were always meant to stay - like they promised.

Jay is a 23-year-old freelance translator who says yes to everything. He's the kind of person who wakes up smiling, collects friends on every assignment, and plays guitar at open mic nights just because it's fun. Life is an adventure, and he's here for all of it. Ni-ki is a 19-year-old idol who forgot how to laugh without thinking first. He started too young, learned too fast that people aren't always kind, and now even dancing-the one thing that used to ground him-feels heavy. He's anxious. Tired. Searching for something solid to hold onto. When Ni-ki arrives in Japan for a three-month travel show, Jay is assigned as his translator. Just work. Just business.

At Cheonsang University where two star athletes orbit the same campus but live in completely different worlds - Nishimura Riki, the fearless basketball centre who can face anyone except the one person he wants most, and Jay Park, the ice hockey forward who refuses to date younger guys because he believes they don't understand the future. While Riki quietly builds a life with Jay in his head - one that's steady, real, and permanent - he can't even bring himself to say hello, watching from the cold stands instead. But as distance starts to shift into something neither of them can ignore, Jay is forced to question whether Riki is just another reckless underclassman... or the only one who's ever been serious about him.

Jay had always known his place in the world. He was strong, confident, and in control. An alpha through and through. At least, that's what he'd always been told. And he had no reason to question it. "Yes, well..." the doctor's tone was even, firm. "Based on your results, you are, in fact, an omega." Jay froze. His breath stalled, and the world around him seemed to tilt. "I'm a what?" or: Jay has always been a strong, confident alpha-until the day his body betrays him. What was supposed to be impossible happens: he experiences a heat. He's not an alpha. He's an omega. But in his world, there's no place for omegas, especially not in his group. Desperate to maintain the life he's built, Jay goes into hiding, doing whatever it takes to suppress his subgender, to erase every trace of what he's become.
