Too Cute to Handle – A BL College Romance

Ha-Joon has always been labeled as adorable, a title he despises. No matter what he does, people see him as a soft, helpless kitten rather than the independent college student he wants to be. Things only get worse when Seo-Won, the stunning golden-haired senior with piercing blue eyes, enters his life.

Seo-Won is everything Ha-Joon isn’t—confident, charismatic, and utterly impossible to ignore. When circumstances force them to share a dorm room, Ha-Joon finds himself caught in an endless battle of wits and stolen glances. But Seo-Won seems determined to tease him at every turn, reveling in his reactions.

As their daily squabbles turn into something deeper, Ha-Joon must confront the truth—perhaps being "too cute to handle" isn't such a bad thing, especially when the person handling him is Seo-Won.

Too Cute to handle

Seo-Won sprinted through the campus, his heart pounding as he followed Ha-Joon's last known location. But as he turned the corner, his blood ran cold.

Ha-Joon's bag lay abandoned on the pavement. A small smear of blood stained the strap.

Seo-Won's grip tightened into a fist, his entire body trembling with fury. His usually warm blue eyes darkened, turning ice-cold with rage.

Without wasting a second, he pulled out his phone. "Find him. Now." His voice was deadly calm, a sharp contrast to the storm brewing inside him.

His men sprang into action, scanning security cameras and combing through the area. It didn't take long before they traced Ha-Joon's location—an old, abandoned building at the edge of campus.

Seo-Won didn't wait. He raced there at full speed.

When he kicked open the rusted door, the sight before him made his blood boil.

Ha-Joon was slumped against the wall, his head bleeding, his breath shaky.

And standing over him, laughing like a maniac, was Min-Soo.

"You really are weak," Min-Soo sneered, raising his fist again.

Before Min-Soo could land another hit, Seo-Won's foot connected with his gut, sending him crashing to the floor.

A heavy silence fell over the room.

Min-Soo coughed, groaning in pain, but Seo-Won didn't even glance at him. His entire focus was on Ha-Joon.

Kneeling down, he gently touched Ha-Joon's bruised cheek. "Ha-Joon…" His voice was soft, but filled with suppressed fury.

Ha-Joon blinked weakly, his lips parting as if to say something, but Seo-Won could see he was in too much pain.

Seo-Won's men stormed in, surrounding Min-Soo. Without hesitation, they grabbed him and delivered blow after blow, making sure he felt every ounce of Seo-Won's wrath.

But Seo-Won had no time for Min-Soo.

He carefully lifted Ha-Joon into his arms. "You're safe now," he whispered.

Ignoring Min-Soo's muffled groans, Seo-Won carried Ha-Joon out, his jaw clenched.

The only thing that mattered now was getting Ha-Joon to the hospital—and making sure something like this never happened again.
