Summary
Han Jisung needs somewhere to live. Lee Minho needs someone to cover half the rent.
It is supposed to be practical.
Instead, Jisung spends three months making himself so small that Minho mistakes his absence for preference until one terrible week tears through every careful boundary between them.
A year later, they share groceries, routines, clothes, friends and a life that looks suspiciously like marriage to everyone except them. Jisung calls them platonic soulmates. Minho agrees, because saying anything else might ruin the home they have built together.
Jisung takes Minho’s casual hookups as proof that he is not wanted. Minho takes Jisung’s blind dates as proof that loving him quietly is the safest thing he can do. Both keep trying to protect the other by stepping back.
Then one date turns dangerous, and everything they have left unsaid is finally forced into the light.
or: two strangers become roommates, accidentally build an entire marriage, and spend 112,000 words insisting it is platonic.
