A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third?

He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

Have you ever wondered what's on the other side of the mirror? This is not just another sappy coming-of-age story about school and first crushes. It is a brutally honest story about bullying and misunderstanding. About violence that adults often fail to see. About fear that eats you up from the inside. About the struggle – the daily struggle that thousands of teenagers face. It is a dark, poignant story about how lonely you can be in a crowd, how imperceptible the dramas of their children are to adults, and how thin the line between reality and nightmare is. Maja is an ordinary girl who struggles with hate and a lack of understanding every day. She doesn't fit in. She is different. She sees more, feels more, but she can't tell anyone. Sometimes she doesn't even understand herself. Lina – her imaginary friend – has been with her since childhood. At least, that's what the adults say. Because Maja knows that Lina is not imaginary. But if that's the case... who is she really? It is a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different light. A light that barely shines through the darkness. About how easy it is to disappear – and how difficult it is to be noticed. Adults say, “It's just a phase.” Children are silent because no one listens to them. But what if there are things that cannot be ignored? This is a story about what lurks in the darkness – and what happens when the shadow starts to look in our direction. A story in which anyone who has ever felt invisible can recognize themselves. Do you dare to look into the mirror?

Kim Na Ri and Han Chae Soo were inseparable, their bond forged over years of being neighbors and the shared laughter of their families. For as long as she could remember, Chae Soo was her constant—a protector, a confidant, and perhaps something more. But everything changed seven months ago, when a tragic accident left Na Ri scarred, not just physically but emotionally. Since then, Chae Soo has been pulling away, his once-warm gaze now cold, his presence a ghost of what it used to be. Enter Lee Yul, the enigmatic new guy with an easy smile and a heart seemingly too kind for this world. Unlike Chae Soo, Yul doesn’t flinch at Na Ri’s scars—he embraces her for who she is, becoming the friend and comfort she didn’t know she needed. But his arrival stirs something in Chae Soo, something he’s kept buried beneath the walls he’s built around himself. As Na Ri tries to navigate the confusing distance from Chae Soo and the blossoming connection with Yul, secrets begin to unravel—secrets that might explain why Chae Soo is so determined to keep her at arm’s length. Is it guilt? Fear? Or something deeper, something he’s too afraid to admit even to himself? In this tale of love, friendship, and hidden truths, "Love At Side" invites you to uncover the reasons behind Chae Soo’s silence and the role Lee Yul plays in Na Ri’s life. Sometimes, the person you’re meant to be with is the one who pushes you away—and the one who stays might not be as perfect as they seem.
