It's true that one's heart lacerates when the poisoned sliver of the wound is from the very last straw they held on to, but it's also true that blue, devout love stems from hatred.
Taehyung is a photography student. He had found his favorite piece of art in a person who was once his best friend, a lover that he wanted to cherish in every color. Now, he only wishes to raze her. Now, he captures in monochrome.
Artist Park Aera once used to believe that her first love, her childhood best friend was the piece of art that inspired her to paint in colour that spoke what words couldn't. Now, she only wishes she had never believed that. Now, her paintings are lifeless.
From being friends to lovers, they had always been obsessed with each other. Now that they're enemies, it's intriguing to both of them, because, with every effort to raise a thorn of contempt against the other, rises a flower bud of underpinned love.

Hate: The Cause of Love
It all began with a cruel bet.
For him, she was a game-something to win, to own. For her, it was the beginning of a heartbreak that would shatter her very soul. Once untouched and unshaken, she fell victim to his darkest obsession. One night changed everything. And by morning, he disappeared-leaving her to face the world's scorn alone.
When she finally confronted him, his words destroyed what little hope she had left. "There was never an us. You were just a bet." That day, he made her hate the one thing she once believed in-love.
But walking away wasn't the end.
Watching her move on turned his obsession darker, deeper-deadlier. Haunted by a past he never escaped-a past where love always ended in betrayal and blood-he didn't realize when the lines blurred. When hatred turned to longing. When the monster he became started craving the one thing he pushed away.
She left Paris. Tried to start over in New York. But the devil followed-Kim Taehyung.
As the past and present collide, apologies are made, vows exchanged, and a family born. To the world, he's a loving husband and doting father. But behind that perfect smile lies a man who's painted their love story in black-one body at a time.
From childhood trauma to obsessive devotion, from betrayal to brutal passion, theirs is not a fairytale-it's a tragedy that chose to wear love's disguise.
Because in the end, what they once hated, became the only thing they could never escape.
They love the cause of love.
