Some people fall in love. Ji-eun was chosen.
When university art student Kim Ji-eun agrees to sit for a mysterious upperclassman's portrait, she thinks nothing of it. He's quiet, talented, unsettlingly beautiful - and completely withdrawn. But the moment his eyes meet hers, something inside her shifts. And something inside him wakes up.
His name is Park Sunghoon. Nobody knows much about him - just that he transferred in late, paints obsessively, and keeps much about him. But Ji-eun quickly realizes Sunghoon isn't just reclusive. He's watching her. Studying her. Painting her into places she's never been... and crimes that haven't happened yet.
When Ji-eun stumbles across an old file connected to her late father - a once-prominent therapist who died under mysterious circumstances - she finds something she never expected: Park Sunghoon's name. Not as a student. But as a child patient. A missing child. A violent one.
Then a girl shows up. Seventeen years old. Eyes hollowed by memory.
"I'm his sister," she says.
"He tried to kill me. And now he's going to kill you."
Suddenly, the walls begin to close in. Ji-eun is haunted not just by what Sunghoon is painting - but by what she's remembering. About her childhood. Her father. About the dreams she's had since she was nine, of a boy who stood at the foot of her bed with mirror-like eyes and a knife too small to be real.**
Was it all coincidence?
Or has Sunghoon always been coming for her?
As Ji-eun sinks deeper into a world of repressed trauma, obsession, and buried secrets, she must confront a terrifying possibility: that she may be the only person left who can stop Park Sunghoon -or the only person who was ever meant to understand him.
