Taehyung, a university student, becomes instantly infatuated with Jungkook, a charismatic CEO, after seeing him deliver a speech at his university. Unbeknownst to Jungkook, Taehyung starts secretly following him everywhere, fueling his obsession. As...
Dowoon's worry lines deepened as he gazed at his twin brother's empty bed. Taehyung had been absent from university for a month, and his family was starting to get concerned. His older brother's usually calm demeanor was now replaced with a sense of unease.

"Jaehyun, I'm getting worried about Taehyung," Dowoon confided in his boyfriend. "He's not attending university, and he's not answering my calls. Something's off."
Jaehyun's expression turned thoughtful. "Ask Felix about Taehyung. He's his best friend; he'll definitely know something."
Dowoon's eyes lit up with hope. "That's a great idea! Let's go find Felix."
They located Felix in the university garden, surrounded by books and notes. Dowoon's anxiety spilled out in a rush. "Felix, where's Taehyung? He promised to come for family dinner, but he didn't show up, and it's been a month since he's been to university!"
Felix's expression was calm, but his eyes hinted at a hidden concern. "He said he had some work to attend to, and he didn't hear properly about the dinner thing."
Dowoon's eyes pleaded with Felix. "Please call him and ask if he's coming to university today."
Felix hesitated for a moment before dialing Taehyung's number. The phone rang, and Taehyung's deep voice answered, "Hmm, Felix, what's up?"
Felix's voice was laced with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Will you come to university today or not?"
Taehyung's response was curt. "Yes, I'll come. I'm free."
The Estranged Son
Taehyung's relationship with his family had always been strained. His parents' constant pressure to excel, his siblings' mocking teasing, and the feeling of being suffocated by their expectations had driven him to move out and start living on his own.
He had thought that distance would bring him peace, but the truth was, he was still tangled in a web of family dynamics. His family, especially his twin brother Dowoon, was trying to win him back, to reconcile and rebuild their relationship.
But Taehyung was resistant. He had built walls around himself, walls that he thought would protect him from the pain and hurt of his past. He didn't want to go back to the way things were, didn't want to be sucked into the vortex of family drama.
Yet, despite his best efforts, he couldn't shake off the feeling of loneliness that had been creeping in. He had Jungkook, his obsession, his fixation, but even that wasn't enough to fill the void.
And so, when Felix called, asking him to come to university, Taehyung hesitated. He didn't want to face his family, didn't want to deal with their questions and concerns. But a part of him, a small, hidden part, yearned for connection, for love, for acceptance.
"Hey, Felix," Taehyung said finally, his voice neutral. "I'll come."
But as he hung up the phone, he knew he wouldn't go. He couldn't face his family, couldn't face the pain and hurt that he had been running from. He would stay in his apartment, alone, lost in his thoughts, and his obsession with Jungkook.
Little did he know, his family was not giving up on him yet. Dowoon, hatching a plan to win him back, to bring him back into the fold. And Taehyung, unaware of the storm brewing, was about to be swept into a sea of family drama, once again.
But the reality was far from the truth. Jungkook had left the country for a business trip, and Taehyung couldn't bear the thought of being apart from him. His mood was off, and he didn't know how to face his family or friends.
The web of deception was weaving tighter, and Taehyung was getting entangled in his own lies.
The Only Trustworthy Friend
Taehyung's eyes gazed blankly at the phone, his mind still reeling from the conversation with Felix. His best friend, his confidant, the only person he trusted. Felix was the one person who knew the real Taehyung, the one who understood his thoughts, his feelings, his obsessions.
Felix's words echoed in his mind, "Taehyung, your family is worried about you. They want to reconnect, to make amends." But Taehyung knew it was too late for that. The bridges had been burned, the trust had been broken.
He thought about Dowoon, his twin brother, who was trying to win him back. But Taehyung knew it was all a facade. Dowoon didn't understand him, didn't know the depths of his pain and hurt. He was just trying to salvage the family's reputation, to keep up appearances.
And then there was Jaehyun, Dowoon's boyfriend. Taehyung didn't know him personally, had only met him a few times. He was just a stranger, an outsider, trying to meddle in his life.
But Felix, oh Felix, was different. He had been there for Taehyung through thick and thin, had listened to his rants, his fears, his dreams. He had been his rock, his shelter, his safe haven.
Taehyung's mind made up, he texted Felix, "I'll meet you at the coffee shop. But I'm not promising anything."
Felix's response was immediate, "I'll be there, waiting for you."
Taehyung arrived at the coffee shop, his eyes scanning the room for Felix's familiar face. And then he saw him, sitting in the corner, sipping on a latte. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat, his trust in Felix renewed.
He walked over to the table, his eyes locked on Felix's, and sat down. "I'm only here because I trust you, Felix. Don't betray that trust."
