    Summary

    In their final year of high school, Joss Wayar and Gawin Caskey sit beside each other in class. Not quite friends, not strangers either. Joss—the school’s golden boy boxer, loud, playful, magnetic without trying. Gawin—the quiet one, buried in his hoodie, always sketching or humming under his breath. Joss is scouted into the national boxing circuit, celebrated for his grit, talent, and effortless charm. But the pressure is brutal, the competition relentless. Underneath the applause, exhaustion creeps in. Searching for calm, Joss stumbles on a faceless YouTube singer—Echo. Soft guitar covers, a voice like solitude. Echo becomes ritual. Before every fight, Joss listens. He never misses an upload. And under each video, one comment always appears: “You helped me win today.” Gawin, behind the screen, never replies. Despite Echo’s growing popularity, he never shows his face. One night, Gawin deletes everything. No warning. Joss’s world stutters. Without Echo’s voice, the quiet before each fight turns cold. Losses follow. He starts unraveling—on and off the ring. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for, only that he has to find that voice again. Meanwhile, Gawin is trying to breathe. He never expected anyone to come looking.

    Summary

    Joss moved to New York, the Big Apple of America, in order to seek for better opportunities for himself. But, he never expected to find himself having such a close connection that goes beyond a normal roommate dynamic. He messages back an ad he scrolled upon, and he ends up staying with Gawin—a chill, easygoing guy who might become more than just a roommate.

    It starts out quite simple. Those late night talks, a quick game session, or just having a quiet dinner together. However, as the months go by, Joss comes to realise that he enjoys his time with Gawin which reveals his feelings growing deeper. What was supposed to be a new life in New York blossoms into something that no one anticipated. A romance between Joss and Gawin.

    As the lines of being roommates and love blur, Joss struggles with the fear of losing their close companionship. One thing is for sure though, he'd love to stay being roommates with Gawin. How will Joss navigate his feelings for his roommate? Or will the risk of losing their friendship be too much for him to bear?
