Almost, Always

Summary:

They were best friends who never crossed the line— until every missed chance and every almost-touch began to unravel a love too deep to ignore.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Jay never painted what he couldn’t explain— yet Juwon kept appearing on every canvas, no matter how many times he tried to look away. Their world was made of glances held too long and touches that stopped just short. It was all soft hesitations and quiet retreats, like walking along the edge of something too fragile to name. But how long can two hearts circle each other before something finally gives— before almost turns into always?

And if it does… will they still recognize each other after the fall?
