    Summary

    Jeongin hasn’t spoken in years, not since home stopped feeling like one.
    When Chan finds him, bruised by silence and held together by fear, he doesn’t ask for explanations, just offers a place to breathe.

    Healing comes slowly: sticky notes, quiet dinners, shared routines.
    But when the past claws its way back and threatens to rip away the fragile life Jeongin has built, he learns there’s more strength in his voice than in silence, and Chan learns there’s more danger in love than he ever expected.

    This story deals with emotional and physical abuse, selective mutism, panic attacks, manipulation, and trauma recovery.

    Jeongin’s voice is slow to return. Please be patient with him.
