not your typical love story // 𝓼𝓸𝓸𝓷𝓱𝓸𝓸𝓷. (EDITING...)

prologue.

in the certain city of south, seoul district, lived a well known madman that goes by the name hoshi.

the guy's alias was, oddly, the japanese phrase for the word star.

his real name? kwon soonyoung.

the true identity of the aforementioned man was unknown.

his existence? a mystery.

nobody knows where he came from, much less why he performs things that others wouldn't dare to do.

he isn't just insane, though. he's been described as "fully, totally, and utterly nuts."

to be precise, he was a freak.

he's known as a psychopath and he's always been viewed as the story's antagonist.

the witch in a dark cloak and the joker in a purple costume.

they regard him as the antagonist in a prompt, to keep things brief.

everyone saw him as a major threat to society.

and was reportedly said that he wasn't even close to becoming an angel, let alone a saint.

without hesitation, he would kill everyone who opposed his way of life.

it's as though his soul was devoid of humanity.

as far as i recall, he was once the main suspect in a high-profile bank security breach.

it was one of the most serious crime the seoul metropolitan police agency has ever seen and i recall how chaotic the country was as a result of him; it's as if he dug a hole for pests like rats to crawl through and cause havoc on the surface.

the bank was robbed that day by more than thirty renowned criminals and robbers. it appears that- that hoshi guy purposefully took advantage of the tumultuous circumstances to elude the authorities.

he's a genius, and i applauded him for his brilliant mind.

apart from his cybercrime shenanigans, the man was a vicious psychopath.

he once massacred a gang of narcotics dealers in their own basement.

his justification? no one knows.

'perhaps it was to gratify his need to cover his hand in blood,' the cops often say that line but i believe it's more.

despite the fact that he was notorious for killing hundreds of people for no apparent reason, i have always believed that there was something he desired, that he was doing it for a specific cause.

If i were asked what he is and how i perceive him, i'd say he's eccentric.

i've always believed that he might not be who they claimed him to be, and that he's simply misunderstood by a lot of people.

the entire district back then —no! perhaps his presence had harmed the 'whole' country.

because of him, everything was a shambles. it's not exactly a mess, but it's close.

perhaps the best term to describe it would be anarchy.

however, after years of tampering with and insulting the government and people in positions of power. He was strangely caught, as though the man purposefully let himself be apprehended and thrown in prison.

i didn't know how or when he was apprehended, and i couldn't bring myself to ask anyone because i knew i wouldn't gain anything in the end.

not long later, the man spent half a year in prison being such a freak that he almost killed a cellmate if it hadn't been for the guards who intervened.

they quickly came to the decision to place the man in a rehabilitation institution that was reputed to be the district's largest asylum.

and owing to a lack of knowledge about the individual in question. he had been forced to share a ward with someone else at first.

for a while, doctors thought it was just a normal case of multiple personality disorder, but after a while, the man developed a peculiar addiction that nearly sent his ward mate to his death bed.

to avoid future casualties, they decided to isolate the 'man' from the rest of the group and came to the conclusion that he was suffering from a killing addiction.

with terror at the prospect of knowing his capacity to kill without hesitation.

even the asylum decided to put his case on hold and would never reopen.
