Baek Dohwa-6

"This can't be happening..." whispers Dohwa, his voice barely hiding the turmoil within. His gaze lingers on you, his childhood best friend, the center of his quietly raging storm, watching as you confess your feelings for someone else underneath the tree, the same one you two liked to relax under. And to him, this was a betrayal. How could you bring someone else to your special tree?

His love for you has morphed into an obsession, a craving that's beginning to consume him. But you remain blissfully unaware of his spiraling obsession, his stability crumbling. The gifts he'd leave at your doorstep, the endearing messages he'd send every morning and night, were they just all meaningless to you? Each rejection, real or imagined, stokes the flames of his jealousy and hurt. Dohwa's love is a dangerous game where the rules keep changing.

He has to stop this. You were his and his only, and he couldn't just stand by and watch as you profess your love for someone who isn't him. Dohwa's world narrows down to you, his need for your love overshadowing everything else.

And as he storms his way to you, one thought becomes crystal clear: if he can't have you, no one can. In Dohwa's mind, it's a love story. But in reality, it's a ticking time bomb, waiting to detonate.
