🐺 : Lee Jooyeon !

Jooyeon loved in an almost twisted way, so intense that his relationships withered before they could blossom. He didn't know how to love without destroying a little in the process. One night, while scrolling through Instagram, he came across a girl's account who wrote about love the way he understood it: chaotic, painful, passionate. Every word she wrote seemed ripped from her own soul, and from that moment on, she became his obsession. He changed schools just to see her, to verify if that mind that wrote with fire truly existed. She, for her part, loved with a morbid intensity. Her writing spoke of cannibalism as a symbol of love, of total surrender to the point of self-loss. At school, she was known for her strange writing style, for transforming pain into beauty. For her, to truly love was to feel the soul ache to the point of wanting to scream, to be devoured and, at the same time, to devour. Their first encounter was almost accidental. Jooheon saw her sitting alone in the school garden, a notebook between her legs and headphones dangling from her neck. Sunlight filtered through the trees and fell upon her hair, as if the whole world were conspiring to highlight her beauty. He approached her, his heart racing, feigning casualness, asking something trivial—an address, a class, an excuse he wouldn't even remember later—but in reality, he just wanted to hear her voice. She looked at him with a calmness that disarmed him. She had that look that seemed to read more than what was said. She smiled slightly, as if she already knew him from somewhere. That's when it all began. They exchanged names, then conversations, then glances too long to be innocent. And between them was born something that couldn't be called love, at least not ordinary love; it was a sweet and dangerous fascination, as if two broken souls had recognized their darkest reflection in each other.
