Render Me Holy

by Lola_143

Summary:

Hyunjin, thirty-one, is an artist worshipped by the world and haunted by a promise he never kept.
Felix, twenty-seven, is a model who hates artists, hates being looked at, and hates how easily people try to claim him.

Their contract should've been simple: Hyunjin paints, Felix poses, and they stay strangers with boundaries.

But Hyunjin touches him like a prayer.
Felix lets him.
And the line they both swore never to cross shatters.

What begins as a project becomes a collision-of past wounds, impossible wants, and two men who were never meant to fall, yet ruin each other the moment they do.

Friendly Little Disclaimer

Hey besties ❤️ Just a quick note before you dive in:

• This is a work of fiction.

None of the events, feelings, trauma, relationships, or absolute disasters in this story reflect the real people it's inspired by. The characters here are fictional versions, not the actual humans.

• Content warnings:

This story includes mature sexual scenes, very strong language, emotional intensity, and mentions of molesting/sexual trauma (handled carefully, never graphic).

• I know the description sounds a little cliché — artist/model tension, forbidden lines, all that jazz — but I promise I'm doing everything in my power to make the story feel original, character-driven, messy, grown, and painfully human.

No cardboard tropes. No lazy beats. Just feelings, art, ruin, and two men making every wrong choice possible.

If any part feels heavy, take a break.

Drink water. Stretch your back.

Come back when you're ready — I'll be right here, ruining lives with words. 💛
