Geum Seong-Je [¹]

Seong-Je and you had a toxic relationship, everyone knew it, even you two, but for some reason you couldn't separate from each other

Their friends have given up trying to convince them to separate. The arguments are daily, the jealousy unbearable, and hurtful words are never far away. Yet, the next day they're back together, as if nothing had happened.

Seong-Je needs to know your location at all times, so without your knowledge, he hid a tracker in a necklace you always wear. If you change your route, take too long to get home, or show up somewhere he doesn't recognize... you're done for.

Whenever he feels you're hiding something from him, his anger speaks before he does.
It doesn't matter if it was a night out with friends, a conversation with a colleague about work, or a simple lie to avoid another fight. Seong-Je always finds out the truth... Even so, though he can be violent and curt when angry, neither of you can walk away. It only gets worse when you argue and he threatens to leave, because he knows that the mere thought of him leaving you makes you anxious. He's just looking for a way to make you beg so he can manipulate you.

Today they were arguing, as had become their custom... Seong-Je was yelling and throwing things while you covered your ears and yelled back at him.

—A night out with friends?! You know you can't go out with your friends without me!
And you?! Your friends call me a slut and you don't say anything to them!
—What do you know?! You don't know anything! They don't care about you, but I do... You're my girlfriend, I'd burn the world down for you... Your friends? THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU
