Parallel

SOME CONNECTIONS ARE WRITTEN BEFORE YOU EVER MEET.

Ace Laurent has spent his life turning ambition into influence. To the world, he has everything—wealth, success, loyal friends, and a future entirely of his own making. Yet behind every achievement is a performance he no longer knows how to separate from himself.

Kang Park has spent his life becoming the son everyone expected him to be. Raised beneath the weight of legacy, duty, and tradition, he has mastered the art of silence—even as every piece of him longs to be heard.

One man is searching for freedom.

The other is searching for himself.

Neither is looking for love.

But some lives don't simply cross.

They run parallel, quietly shaping one another long before fate ever allows them to meet.

As buried truths surface, impossible choices demand to be made, and the futures written for them begin to unravel, Ace and Kang must decide whether the lives they've inherited are worth protecting—or whether the lives they've always wanted are worth risking everything to build together.

Because sometimes the person who changes your life isn't the one you were searching for.

It's the one your soul has been walking beside all along.
