"Chasing Love" | Hwang Hyunjin

Karina had always been too warm for his cold world. Soft, bright, sunny. Her long dark hair fell down her back, and her smile could calm even the hardest day. She was used to seeing the good in people and trusting those she cared about until the very end. Hyunjin was her complete opposite. Tall, broad-shouldered, with a strong back and muscular body, he seemed impossible to truly know. He kept his emotions bottled up, rarely spoke about himself, and almost never showed weakness. He had a secret that only a few knew. At night, Hyunjin disappeared from his normal life and participated in illegal races. This was a dangerous side of his life, which he told no one about. The only person he trusted enough to let him in on this secret was his close friend Seungmin. Seungmin knew where Hyunjin went at night and why he sometimes returned in the morning a completely different person. He was the only one who understood how far Hyunjin had come in this world. Karina knew nothing. She simply noticed that sometimes Hyunjin would disappear without explanation, become silent and distant, and then reappear as if nothing had happened. She had tolerated his coldness for too long. And then Han appeared. He was attentive, calm, and completely different from Hyunjin. With him, Karina laughed again, felt needed, and stopped waiting for the man who constantly made her doubt herself. And that's when Hyunjin began to lose control. Han's presence irritated him. His smile next to Karina. The way he easily gained her attention. Even a casual glance in her direction could ruin Hyunjin's mood. Seungmin saw it first. He understood: this was no longer just a matter of jealousy. Hyunjin was used to risking everything when he wanted to achieve something, but Karina was the only person he was truly afraid of losing. And the further Karina distanced herself, the more jealous he became. Only Karina didn't know what kind of life he was hiding.
