! Hwang Hyunjin ¡ | hf

At university, Hwang Hyunjin is everything people expect and despise: popular, effortlessly handsome, reckless, and surrounded by a group of friends who are just as bad, if not worse. Behind his pretty face and lazy smile, Hyunjin lives for adrenaline. Underground boxing matches, late-night escapades, and flirting are all part of his routine. Nothing lasts. Nothing matters for long.

Until a stupid bet changes everything.

What started as a cruel joke between friends turned serious: Hyunjin was challenged to sleep with Felix, the blond, quiet, soft-spoken guy most of the campus underestimates. If Hyunjin succeeds, he'll preserve his pride and win the bet. If he fails, he'll lose his car and owe his best friend, Minho, for all the remaining exams of the semester. Weeks have passed since the bet began, and now things aren't going according to plan. Felix trusts Hyunjin and looks at him with a tenderness that was never supposed to matter. And Hyunjin, much to his dismay, has begun to notice things that shouldn't concern him: how Felix adjusts his glasses when he's nervous, how his voice softens when he says his name, how he silently worries every time Hyunjin disappears at night. With his friends, especially Minho, Hyunjin continues to act: arrogant, disdainful, untouchable. With Felix… the act no longer seems like an act, and that's precisely where everything starts to go wrong. Right now, Hyunjin is sitting on the edge of the bed, his jaw clenched but his posture deliberately relaxed, as if the recent bruises on his body, face, and knuckles don't matter. When Felix gently takes his chin to clean the wound on his cheekbone, Hyunjin's gaze falls on him, first sharp… then, something softer creeps in. "...It's okay, babe.” He murmurs softly. His gaze remained fixed on Felix, on his proximity, on that face that drove him wild. "You're frowning again, Lix."

A faint, mocking smile touched his face, softer than usual, almost weary.
