Description
He was never supposed to matter to someone like Haeil.
Elliot Marsh is used to making himself small. Quiet. Careful. Undemanding. He moves through each day in a version of himself compressed by months of living under someone else’s terms.
Then after the show, Jeon Haeil—the untouchable lead vocalist of the biggest K-pop group in the world—looks at him like he’s someone worth seeing.
And everything changes.
What starts as an intervention in an alley becomes late-night conversations, a seat on a tour bus, and a slow, careful rebuilding of everything Elliot has been taught to doubt about himself. Because Haeil sees something in him that Elliot has stopped being able to see—and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to trust that what he’s feeling is real rather than just the relief of being wanted.
Especially when Elliot starts to understand that being seen—truly seen—might not destroy him.
More time. More closeness. More of him.
As tours turn into secret flights across the world and stolen nights become something dangerously real, Elliot finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and the terrifying possibility of being fully seen by someone who refuses to let him disappear.
But love was never meant to survive under this much pressure.
And some relationships don’t fall apart all at once.
They unravel slowly. In hotel rooms. On airplanes. In the silence after the crowd stops screaming.
Found You in the Dark is an emotional MM romance featuring a K-pop idol love interest, obsessive emotional devotion, hurt/comfort, slow-burn intimacy, fame and isolation, secret relationships, emotional vulnerability, and two lonely people trying to hold onto each other while the world watches.
