❝I'd burn the tires just to feel you close enough to burn me back.❞

I was born with blood on my hands. They call me a Variant. A thief. A monster. But I never asked for this power, the one that steals what it touches, that drains the life and leaves only silence. I've lived in the shadows, hidden from the kingdom that would rather see me burned than breathing. Until he found me. Cassian Draven. Crown's weapon. Soldier. Executioner. He was sent to kill me. Instead, he watched me. Touched me. And nothing has been the same since.

"Love is the most twisted curse of them all"

"Please, save me." She begged, tugging on his arm, with all the remaining strength left in her body. He held her closer, her blood covering his hands. "I want to go home..." She followed up in a meek voice, gazing into his eyes. "...Sunghoon." "I'm sorry, my love..." He whispered, tear drops landing on Kwon Yunseo's face. Why was he crying? How dare he cry? She should be the one crying, after everything he's done to her.
