The gym had emptied, but the echo of fists still lingered like smoke after a fire. The floor carried the memory of every step Joonwoo had planted, every punch that had rung louder than it should have.

Students filtered out in groups whispering, retelling, exaggerating already. His name threaded through their murmurs, not as a rumor anymore, but as a fact.

“He fought all of them.”

“Alone.”

“And won.”

It was how legends began: not with banners or trumpets, but with astonished mouths repeating a story until it hardened into truth.

Joonwoo sat at the edge of the court, legs stretched, his blazer draped across bruised shoulders. Sweat dried in salt lines along his jaw. His ribs ached with each breath, but the ache was alive, not dead weight.

Lee Seojun leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his grin sharper than ever. “Tch. You really are insane.”

But there was no bite in his voice. Only the strange satisfaction of someone who had just seen a bet pay off.

  • Romanticism System    CHAPTER 46 — The Bonds cannot be broken

    His father’s voice thundered:“You will return home.You will forget that school.And you will sever ties with every last one of those filth you call classmates.”The words cut deeper than the slap ever could.The breaking pointFor the first time…Doyun flinched.His expression finally cracked pain flooding through the tiny fracture.His voice was barely audible.“…No.”Baek Guhwon froze.“What did you say?”Doyun clenched his fists.His voice trembled, but he forced it out.“I said… no.”His father’s eyes darkened.Slow. Dangerous.“You’ve grown bold,” he whispered.“Is it that boy? Seo Joonwoo?”Baek Guhwon’s eyes sharpened instantly like a predator hearing a crack in the forest.His grip on Doyun’s collar tightened.“Oh?”His voice dropped to a chilling softness.“So you do care.”Doyun’s breath grew uneven.His father’s lips curled into a cold, knowing smirk.“I only needed to check once.”He leaned closer, voice brushing Doyun’s ear like a blade.“And already, I see the problem.

  • Romanticism System    CHAPTER 45 — Searching for the Ghost House

    After school, the seven boys spilled out into the warm orange glow of late afternoon — but none of them headed home.They had one mission:Find Baek Doyun.The problem?None of them knew where he lived.WellExcept one.“Seungmin… spill it.”Seungmin rubbed the back of his neck as everyone stared at him.“Uh… okay, okay, chill.”He pointed his thumb at himself with a smirk.“I may or may not have… stalker-level intel on Baek Doyun.”Joonwoo blinked.“…Why?”Seungmin looked offended.“Bro. He’s mysterious. I thought he was a killer or something! I Googled him once!”Jihoon facepalmed.“You’re unbelievable.”But Joonwoo grabbed Seungmin’s shoulders desperately.“Where is it? His house?”Seungmin held up both hands, thinking.“Well… not exactly a house. More like… this super expensive secluded vacation villa area on the hill. The ‘rich-people-who-don’t-like-people’ zone.”Daejin clicked his tongue.“Tch. Makes sense.”“Lead the way.” Joonwoo said.Seungmin sighed dramatically.“Fine, fin

    Morning breeze.Crowded courtyard.Students laughing, shouting, passing by like rushing waves.And in the center of itJoonwoo.Standing still.Hands in his pockets.Eyes somewhere far away.Not on the school gates.Not on the classrooms.Not even on his friends.But on a thought lodged deep in his chest.A heavy one.A worrying one.A Doyun-shaped one.The Gang ArrivesSeojun slung an arm around Joonwoo’s neck from behind.“Yo. Earth to idiot.” He squinted. “What’s wrong?”Kang Daejin popped gum loudly.“Bro looks like he failed a test.”Ma Dongpil leaned in.“No… he looks worse. Dude looks like he saw a ghost.”Minsung didn’t even look up from his phone.“He’s probably thinking about Baek Doyun again.”All heads turned.Joonwoo:“…”They could practically see the name hit him like a punch.Seungmin smirked.“Knew it. This guy’s down bad for friendship.”Joonwoo clicked his tongue.“It’s not okay, maybe it is that.”Sero (Reo’s right-hand, passing by) muttered under his breath,“Rid

  • Romanticism System   CHAPTER 43 — “A Friend In Need”

    Joonwoo took another step forward, worry tightening his voice.“Doyun, what’s wrong?”Doyun finally lifted his eyes to him.Cold.Flat.Like he’d built a wall in the span of a heartbeat.“Nothing.”The word dropped between them like ice.Joonwoo froze.Doyun’s gaze wasn’t angryit was the kind of look someone gives when they don’t want to be touched because they’re barely holding themselves together.But to everyone else, it just looked heartless.He adjusted his bag, expression unreadable.“Don’t worry about things that aren’t yours.” Doyun said quietly.It wasn’t rude.But it cut deeper than shouting ever could.Hyun moved beside him, opening the car door.Doyun stepped forward without looking back.But Joonwoo couldn’t accept it.“Even if it’s cold… even if you push me away…”he said, voice trembling but loud enough for Doyun to hear,“I care. So tell me someday. I’ll wait.”Doyun paused.Just for a second.His fingers tightened around the car door handle.Hyun saw it, that tiny tr

  • Romanticism System   CHAPTER 42 — “Be My Friend”

    The morning sun spilled over the courtyard like warm honey, lighting up the walkway where students gathered in small groups. Laughter echoed. Footsteps blurred into the usual school noise.Baek Doyun walked through it all without looking at anyone tall, calm, untouchable.Like always.Like a shadow moving where sunlight couldn’t reach.Until a voice cut through the noise.Bright. Warm. Unmistakable.“Baek Doyun!!”He stopped.Slowly, he turned.There he was Seo Joonwoo jogging toward him with that stupidly bright grin. Brown hair bouncing, eyes full of sunshine, and that annoying earnestness that made everyone else step back…but always made Joonwoo step forward.Doyun stared at him, expression unreadable.Silent.Still.Joonwoo puffed a breath, hands on his hips.“Still silent, huh…”He didn’t seem disappointed.If anything, his smile grew even warmer.Doyun blinked once.He didn’t understand him.He never did.Joonwoo stepped closer, right into Doyun’s cold personal space, as if the

  • Romanticism System    CHAPTER 41 — Baek Doyun’s Morning

    The sky was gray when Baek Doyun stepped out of bed.Not storm-gray, not rain-grayjust that soft, muted color of a day that didn’t care whether it existed or not.It suited him.He brushed his hair back, tying it loosely, the black strands falling past his shoulders. His movements were calm… practiced. Like someone who had lived many years inside the same routine, even though he was only fifteen.His room smelled faintly of cedar and cold air.No warmth.No clutter.Just clean surfaces and silence.He chose his uniform, adjusting the collar.Perfect. As always.But his eyesthe mirror stubbornly reflected what he didn’t want to see.A faint exhaustion.A quiet kind of loneliness that even perfect tailoring couldn’t hide.He grabbed his bag and stepped out.Downstairs, Hyun straightened immediately.“Good morning, young master.”Doyun nodded once.“Morning.”In the kitchen, everything was untouchedplates lined neatly, fruit in a bowl, water bottles perfectly arranged.A house built
