Lee Felix

Title: "Sunshine's Shadow" Lee Yongbok—Felix—was the school's sunshine. A boy whose smile could thaw any bad mood, and whose kindness was as effortless as breathing. He was the first to help, the one everyone trusted, the "favorite son" in every teacher's eyes. It was impossible not to be swept up by his laughter. But Sunshine always casts a shadow, and Felix's younger sibling, Minseo, felt it growing darker every year. Minseo was quieter, sharper, and always second-best in the eyes of teachers and parents alike. "Why can't you be more like Felix?" became the refrain of their childhood; every achievement compared, every mistake magnified. It all boiled over that spring. In a fit of jealousy and anger, Minseo started whispering lies—first to friends, then to anyone who would listen. Overnight, Felix woke up to a nightmare: rumors that he was selling exam answers, that he'd vandalized the gym, that money had gone missing from the fundraiser he himself organized. The stories grew darker—bullying, blackmail, even threats against students. None of it was true, but screenshots and forged messages told their own story. Teachers who once praised him now eyed him with suspicion. Friends stopped texting back, crossing the cafeteria to avoid his table. Even strangers stared, their conversations dying down when he walked by. His world shank to brittle silence and hostile eyes, his own parents struggling to believe him over Minseo's tearful confessions. Felix tried confronting him, only to meet a wall of resentment. "You have everything! Can't I have this?" Minseo snapped one night, voice raw with years of being in the background. Y/N, who'd always admired Felix light, saw the cracks and offered him a place to fall apart. Now, Felix sat in the eye of the storm, his reputation in ruins, his trust shattered, wondering if the truth even mattered anymore. As the rift widened at home and school, he had to decide if he could fight the battle without losing his brother for good.
