Jumping the Geon

Ever since childhood, Sohm has harbored an inexplicable sense of unease whenever he crosses paths with Geon. Though the two boys share striking similarities, they are fundamentally different in ways that constantly ignite friction. They cannot even exchange a glance without it escalating into a bitter argument. Their already volatile dynamic is thrown into chaos when their parents remarry, abruptly binding them together as stepbrothers under one roof. To prevent their relentless bickering from tearing the newly formed household apart, strict regulations are enforced to maintain a fragile peace. The new family rules are deceptively simple yet deeply invasive: the boys must commute to and from school together every single day, and before stepping through the front door, they are required to share a full thirty-second embrace. Thrust into this mandatory physical proximity, the hostility between Sohm and Geon begins to shift in ways neither could have anticipated. What starts as forced, uncomfortable closeness gradually transforms as Geon’s constant teasing pushes past the boundaries of their usual rivalry into far riskier territory. Bound by these daily rituals, the reluctant stepbrothers soon find themselves sharing an intimacy that goes well beyond anything they ever intended.
