   Summary

   They meet in the quiet corners of a shared workshop; one loud with color, the other drawn in silence.
   Hongjoong paints in chaos to hide his loneliness. Seonghwa sketches in stillness to survive his.
   Neither of them is looking for connection.
   But somewhere between graphite lines and unfinished canvases, something begins to take shape.
   Something they can’t name; at least, not out loud.

   or

   Chaotic and kinda loud art student Hongjoong crashes into the life of Park Seonghwa, the silent sketchbook guy who’s known for being a ghost of the university. What started with a broken pencil sharpener becomes something else entirely.

   [update2026: I am still overcoming my writers block and am currently editing each chapter... for those who already started this fic I recommend to reread it since I added and changed a few scenes PLEASE BEAR WITH ME UGH]
