Intro
The ice was cold beneath his feet, the sharpness of the blades cutting through it with a precision he'd perfected over years of practice. Jun's breath came in shallow bursts, visible in the chill of the rink. He was alone now, just like he always was when he skated. The rink, silent except for the sound of his movements, was his only solace. He should have been happy, right? He had everything anyone could ask for-wealth, status, and a fiancé who was admired by the world. Wonwoo, the perfect, pristine image of a man everyone wanted, and the one his parents had chosen for him. But that wasn't the problem, was it? The problem was that Jun hated him. Hated the way Wonwoo looked at him like he was a trophy to be admired, a perfect little doll that he could bend to his will. He hated the cold smile that accompanied every polite word, the indifference behind those dark eyes. Every touch from Wonwoo felt like a cold reminder of the life he was trapped in. And yet... despite everything... there was something inside of him that longed for the warmth of that same touch.

"I thought I told you not to cry today," Joshua's voice cut through the silence, teasing but gentle.
Jun didn't answer. Instead, he turned on his heel, gliding toward the edge of the rink as Joshua followed him, their blades slicing through the ice in sync. He didn't have the words to explain what was happening inside him-the turmoil, the confusion, the undeniable pull toward the man who shouldn't matter. "Why are you doing this to me, Joshua?" Jun's voice broke slightly as he spoke, a rawness creeping into his tone.
Joshua skated beside him now, slow and steady, his eyes never leaving Jun's face. "Because you're afraid, Jun. You're afraid of feeling what you're feeling. But you're not the only one struggling."
