To all the girlies who were told to stay soft in a world built on blood. You were born to command. Fuck obedience.

"𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍... 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒉." 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗷𝘂𝗻 grew up with money, rules, and emotionally disconnected. As the middle son of the Kang family, he learned early that wanting things only made life complicated. He keeps his distance from people. He has no interest in feelings. Nothing ever caught his attention for longer than necessary. And then there was her. Little did he know that his interest in her would soon turn into a burning desire. 𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝗜𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗹 works in the Kang household as a deaf maid. She is not there to serve, but is there for a mission to find her missing sister. And that was the plan until Sejun is the first to notice she can hear. For the first time in years, he feels pulled toward someone without understanding why. He keeps her secret, but he's using her like a pawn in his game. Iseul hates that he knows her secret. She hates how he sees through and hates how she cannot ignore him the way she ignores everyone else. He is the one person she cannot predict and that threatens everything she came for. What begins as control and caution turns into something they both refuse to name. Desire for answers. Loathing for weakness. Neither of them knows when they stopped observing and started wanting. ──── ──── "I don't know what you've done to me, but I can't un-want you." His voice dropped, and his hand remained at the back of his neck like he was frustrated with himself. "Then you should've stayed away." She kept trying not to let anything slip through her expression. "I can't... control." His gaze didn't move from her, like letting go of it would make the words less true.

"𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒐." 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶 learned the hard way that how quickly everything can fall apart. Years ago, a scandal she never saw coming forced her to leave modeling and walk away from the life she once loved. She built a different life for herself as a fashion designer, keeping her distance from the past and from the people who once broke her trust. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗼 never left that world. He lives in a world that thrives on his attention. As one of the industry's most sought-after models who has learned how to live with both admiration and criticism. The spotlight never really leaves him, but neither do the expectations that come with it. What he is not used to is the way one woman unsettles the careful balance he has always kept. When Luna is assigned as his stylist for an important event, neither of them expects much from the partnership. It is supposed to be professional, temporary and just work. But the past has a way of returning when it is least welcome. Old betrayals, hidden truths, and the reappearance of someone Luna never thought she would face something unbelievably unexpected. What starts as an unexpected connection slowly become harder to face than either of them imagined. Because sometimes the hardest part is not falling in love. It is loving someone when it hurts. ─── "You hate me, right? Then stop looking at me like you want to kiss me and kill me at the same time. If I was using you, Luna... I wouldn't be looking at you like this," he said, not giving her a chance to respond. "Hurt me all you want, but don't lie when your hands still shake when I touch you."
