At sixteen, Eli Seo never imagined Russia would feel colder inside than out. Soft-spoken, slender, and painfully beautiful, he’s the Korean boy who doesn’t quite fit in. Teased for looking like a girl and lost in a world not his own, Eli’s only anchor is his father….until a certain someone begins watching him from across the room. Damir Romanov, his father’s best friend, is rich, powerful, and impossibly unreadable. But Eli doesn’t care. Not at first. Not until two years pass, and those lingering stares start meaning something more. Caught between loyalty, longing, and a love that shouldn’t exist, Eli is forced to choose between the man who raised him and the man who awakenes him.

Thank you all so much for following this story to the very end. Writing this wasn't just about creating characters or plot twists, it was about sharing a part of my heart with you. I may not be an expert, but every chapter was crafted with love, late nights, and genuine emotion. Your reads, votes, and kind words meant everything to me. This story ends here not because of any rejection but because it's the place I chose to stop and reflect. I write for the joy, for the passion, and for the amazing community of readers like you. Being a student and a writer at once isn't easy, but knowing you were here made it worth it. Please stay tuned for my next novel and I promise to grow, improve, and give you even more. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
