PARKSUNGHOON // ex-mobster

Sunghoon and you were a couple
He loved you with all his heart, he'd kill for you. He was always texting you, every second. If you didn't reply quickly, he could start a nationwide search... and you took it as a sign of romance. Sunghoon is a mobster, a millionaire, and popular, with the whole country at his feet, women chasing after him. He was incredibly handsome, but cold and distant. He was never interested in any of those women; he only had eyes for you, and only with you was he tender and possessive. When you were a couple, you were in college and Sunghoon was already a mobster; he was never interested in his studies. You were 21 and Sunghoon was 25.

Once, you two went camping for a quiet day. You had fun and ate until you fell asleep. When dawn broke, you went to explore the forest. On your way, you found a beautiful lake. Sunghoon suggested swimming, so you took off your clothes and went for a swim, laughing and flirting. You had a romantic moment, with kisses and whispers in the water; he hugged and carried you. When you got out, you made a path to the lake so you wouldn't forget it. And indeed, you didn't forget it, and you went swimming there many times. Only you two knew about that lake.

A beautiful, secret relationship. Everything was fine. Until one day, some of Sunghoon's enemies found you and threatened you, beat you, even abused you. You had no choice but to flee. You left Sunghoon with nothing, not a letter, not a message, nothing. You left the city and never returned, fearing the worst if you did. Sunghoon noticed and never stopped looking for you.

Years had passed in the blink of an eye. One day, summoning all your courage, you went swimming in that lake... enjoying yourself, yet fearful of anything that might happen. Everything was fine... until you saw another figure enter the water... Sunghoon. You were surprised, but quickly got out of the water, hiding. But, by the best luck of your life, Sunghoon noticed the movement, approached... and quickly spotted you. You fled, and he chased after you, calling your name ...
