In Obscured Affection, we explore the intertwined stories of three couples, each facing their unique struggles in love.
The first couple follows a man who has distanced himself from everyone but secretly loves a woman. He becomes her unseen shadow, sending her flowers and letters while remaining hidden. Despite his genuine feelings, he struggles to reveal his identity, leaving her unaware of his deep affection. Meanwhile, a charming foreigner boldly pursues her, unaware that her heart may still belong to someone from her past.
In the second story, a kind boss hides his feelings for his playful assistant. She enjoys flirting with others but is afraid of real commitment, keeping him at a distance despite their strong connection. Torn between her desire for fun and the security he offers, she grapples with her fear of intimacy.
The third couple centers on a bride who has loved her husband long before their marriage, but he views their union as a burden since he was forced into the marriage. Although she has deep feelings for him, he struggles with his own emotional distance. When she joins his workplace as an intern, the complexities of their relationship come to light, and she hopes her unwavering love can bridge the gap between them.
Obscured Affection explores themes of passion, longing, and the challenges of love. Each couple must confront their fears and secrets, ultimately questioning whether their love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles in their paths or if their hidden truths will keep them apart.

He banged his hand on the wall beside my head making me jump in fear and he held my chin with other hand. I looked at him in fear as he looked like a beast with rage dancing in his eyes.
"Are you scared?" He asked with cold voice.
I tried to swallow but I was so afraid of even nodded my head. I looked past him at the dead body which had pool of blood around it.
"You shouldn't be," He said pulling my face near him by my chin.
I felt his hot breath hitting on my face. I held my breath and tears but every second it made me difficult. Suddenly, a lone tear flowed through my left eye. His eyes turned a little soft and he wiped my tear gently.
"Get ready!" He whispered, softly.
I looked at him in fear too scared to ask him about why.
"For a contract marriage," He said in stern voice leaving no room for me to deny.
