Summary
Taehyung’s forty-eight. He scores soundtracks for adult films out of a basement studio in Mapo-gu. Jeongguk’s thirty-nine, been performing on camera since he was twenty, and his body doesn’t sell the way it used to.
Seoul, winter, 1997. The industry’s shrinking and neither of them are young enough to pretend any of this is temporary.

Summary
“You smell like cigarettes and somebody else’s perfume.”
Taehyung smiled tiredly.
“Jealous?”
“No,” Jeongguk lied.
——
At Haneul Academy, perfection is treated like survival.
Athletes learn how to fight through broken ribs and fractured knuckles, fashion students learn how to turn self-destruction into something beautiful, and everyone pretends the underground parties beneath campus aren’t slowly ruining them.
Taehyung survives on nicotine, sleepless nights, and people he swears he’ll never get attached to.
Jeongguk is supposed to be one of them.
What starts as something physical turns into late-night phone calls, bloodied hand wraps, lipstick stains, jealousy neither of them admits to, and a relationship that becomes far too dangerous to call casual anymore.

The line between creation, control, and destruction is thin.
Art isn't just made. The canvas bleeds.

Summary
Taehyung falls in love with Jeon Jungkook, the quiet cousin of his best friend, Park Jimin.
He confesses. Jungkook says no.
But Taehyung's love is stubborn and soft all at once. Even after countless rejections, he refuses to leave, choosing instead to stay close enough for Jungkook to hear the same question again and again, until one day, the answer might finally change.

Summary
Jungkook has been harboring a quiet, hopeless crush on his best friend’s father for years—something he’s long since accepted will never amount to anything. So when he helps Seungwon pack for college, and they decide, on a whim, to try out a new matchmaking algorithm everyone’s been talking about, it feels harmless. Just curiosity. Just something to pass the time before everything changes.
He doesn’t expect his match results to lead him right back to Kim Taehyung.
What starts as disbelief quickly turns into something harder to ignore when they meet face to face, forcing Jungkook to confront feelings he’s spent years burying—and decide whether something so complicated is worth holding onto.
Jungkook signs up for SynthMatch on a whim, only to be paired with his best friend’s father—the one person he’s been trying not to love.
