Lee Minho has his life mapped out to the letter. Senior partner at one of Seoul's top law firms, owner of three cats, emotionally unavailable, and perfectly fine with that. People call him cold, but Minho calls it efficient. He doesn't have time for feelings-or anyone who wants to talk about them. Then one morning, someone literally crashes into him. Han Jisung, a songwriter with a talent for chaos and a smile that could melt steel, wasn't expecting his coffee, his notebook, and his dignity to all go flying in one go. Especially not into that guy-the grumpy lawyer everyone in the city seems to know. From that moment, Minho's carefully structured world begins to unravel. One spilled coffee leads to another meeting. One sarcastic text leads to late-night calls. And before he knows it, the man who swore off romance finds himself falling for the one person who refuses to fit neatly into his life plan.

"He's a good boy," my uncle had said over the phone. "Hardworking, dedicated... he'll treat you like a prince." Fresh out of graduation and still finding my footing in the world, I never expected my next big step to be down an aisle. For Hyunjin, life was a series of codes, meetings, and the relentless drive of his new startup. For Felix, it was the quiet uncertainty of a new beginning. We were two strangers bound by a December promise, thrust into a home that felt too big and a silence that felt too loud. We didn't know how to be a "we." We didn't know how to share a morning coffee or whose side of the bed was whose. But as the winter frost thaws, we're discovering that love isn't something you find-it's something you study, piece by piece, smile by smile. In the quiet moments between us, I'm realizing that the most important thing I'll ever study isn't a textbook... it's him. ________

COMPLETED -expensive secretㅣHyunjin × Felix- Hyunjin has a secret, that he doesn't even want his closest friends to find out about.

Hyunjin and Felix are forced into a marriage for fame and money. In front of the public's eyes they're smitten: Korea's Sweethearts, but behind closed doors they barely interact. Everything is pretend. TW - sh, rape, mentions of disordered eating

Felix bakes the best brownies in Seoul, but no one knows the sweetness hides old scars beneath his sleeves. Hyunjin runs an empire built by someone else, and now he's trying not to drown in the silence it left behind ⚠️ Trigger Warnings (TW): This story includes themes of: Depression / mental health struggles (past & present) Self-harm scars (non-graphic but slightly detailed descriptions, e.g., mentions of white lines) Grief / loss of a parent (Hyunjin's father) Emotional vulnerability Occasional strong language All themes are written with care and sensitivity. Reader discretion is advised.

Lee Felix is a star - adored on screen, envied off it. But beneath the fame and flashing lights, he's restless. Trapped by contracts, suffocated by rules... and secretly obsessed with a world he's never been allowed to touch: racing. When he sneaks into a live race one night, hidden behind a mask and sunglasses, he isn't prepared to see him-Hwang Hyunjin, Korea's most famous racer. Charismatic, untouchable, unforgettable. That single moment sparks an obsession. Two years later, Felix is cast in a drama based on Hyunjin's life. It's the role of a lifetime-until he finds out he has to learn how to drive, and worse... Hyunjin himself has insisted on teaching him. What begins as admiration spirals into tension. Chemistry. Glances that linger too long. Touches that mean too much. Felix knows he's in too deep. Hyunjin just might be too. And at the edge of the track, between roaring engines and quiet moments... feelings start to blur. "It was never just about driving."

Felix was born into blood and gold - the heir to a legacy he never wanted. At 19, with long blond hair and trembling hands, he's everything his father hates: soft, small, scared. Hyunjin is paid to protect him. Cold, calculated, and cruel when needed - a ghost with a gun. But protection is a dangerous thing. Especially when Felix starts to feel safe in his shadow. And Hyunjin? He starts to feel something else entirely. In a world where weakness is punished and love is fatal, how long can a bodyguard resist falling for the boy he's sworn to shield?

On the edge of two rooftops, in a city that never stops screaming, two boys are ready to give up. Hyunjin - a world-famous idol, chewed up and spat out by the public, is moments away from letting go. Felix - a broke, invisible immigrant from Australia, suffocating under the weight of abuse, is ready to disappear. But then... their eyes meet. And suddenly, everything halts. From a silent rooftop to the pulsing streets of Seoul, fate throws them together once more-one fleeing from the hate that haunts him, the other hiding from the family that broke him. When they lock eyes a second time, it's not a coincidence. It's the beginning. Of healing. Of survival. Of a love that sees everything-because eyes don't lie.
