Y/N is the twin of Mike, you look exactly like Mike, the same pale face, the same dark hair that hangs over your eyes, but you’re not like him at all, you are more like Nancy and Karen, think before you do stuff, kind of just watch, brace, basically just a badass, but are sensitive when it comes to somebody harming you or others.
That summer feels different from the start, even if no one says it out loud. As the youngest sibling of Jeremiah Fisher and Conrad Fisher, you’ve always been the one trailing behind—too young to be included, too close to be ignored. Now 15, having just had your birthday on July 31st, you’re stuck in that in-between space where everyone is starting to realise you’re not a kid anymore… even if they don’t want to admit it. Summer at the beach house is the same as always—late nights, noise, laughter, Belly and Steven around—but this year, you start noticing things differently. The way people talk, the way they look at each other… and the way your brothers suddenly don’t trust anyone around you.

After a painful breakup, Yoo Na-bi has completely different mindset about relationships.

In a quiet coastal town in North Carolina, 15-year-old Sadie Carter is trying to hold herself together after finding out she’s pregnant halfway through sophomore year. The problem is, nobody knows. Not her mum, not her friends, and especially not her boyfriend, Noah Bennett. Every day at school starts feeling harder as she hides morning sickness, panic attacks, and the fear that one wrong moment will expose everything. Noah can tell something’s wrong, but Sadie keeps pushing him away because she has no idea how to say something that big out loud when they’re still just teenagers themselves.
Bondi Beach is unbearable in the heat. The sand is burning, the water is packed with tourists, and the lifeguards from Bondi Rescue are already dealing with nonstop rescues before midday even hits. You’re only there with your best friend, Mia Torres, trying to survive the heatwave like everyone else. The ocean looks calmer than it actually is, and after joking around too far out, you suddenly get dragged sideways by a rip current without realising how serious it is until you can’t touch the bottom anymore.
At Westbrook Secondary in Melbourne, everyone knows who the “older boys” are. They’re the ones throwing parties every weekend, smoking behind the sports sheds, getting suspended every other month, and somehow still being treated like celebrities around school. Sixteen-year-old Ezra is one of the worst of them. He’s charming when he wants to be, funny enough to get away with almost anything, and reckless in a way people mistake for confidence. Teachers hate him, younger students are intimidated by him, and half the school secretly wants his attention anyway.
No one really expects anything to happen the first time you meet Jake. It’s not even a big moment—you’re just around, introduced casually while he’s with the rest of Enhypen. Jay is the loudest, instantly making a joke, while Sunoo smiles warmly like he already knows you, and Ni-ki is half paying attention, half distracted. Heeseung and Sunghoon are quieter, more observant, while Jungwon keeps things balanced, making sure everything stays normal. In the middle of all of that, Jake is just… easy. No pressure, no expectations. And somehow, that’s what makes you notice him the most.
