You, Y/N, move to a fog-covered coastal town to escape a messy past. But your quiet new life is interrupted the moment you meet Kael, a cold, distant boy with strange marks on his skin… and a reputation for staying away from everyone.
You and Kael have been friends for about a year. The kind of friends who joke, send memes, hang out occasionally — and then hook up whenever things get too quiet or too tense or too convenient.
A quiet, slow-burn BL story told from the perspective of an older man who finds himself drawn to someone younger. Set against unspoken tension and careful restraint, the story explores age, attachment, and the weight of wanting someone while fearing what that want means. Choices shape an emotionally charged relationship where silence speaks as loudly as words.
