In dark underbelly of the city, ᴛᴀᴇʜʏᴜɴɢ thrived as a fearsome and respected figure in the mafia. However, his path to this point was far from smooth, marred by a childhood filled with neglect and devoid of love. Growing up, he had never known compassion, always feeling invisible and longing for someone to acknowledge his existence.
As a teenager, ᴛᴀᴇʜʏᴜɴɢsought solace in the wrong places, gradually succumbing to the lure of drugs and guns. They became his companions, offering a false sense of power and control. With each passing day, he immersed himself deeper into a world that consumed his soul. Fear and dominance were his weapons, his reputation spreading like wildfire throughout the city.
Yet, fate often has a peculiar way of interfering with even the most hardened hearts. It was during a routine operation that ᴛᴀᴇʜʏᴜɴɢ first laid eyes on YN, an innocent and unsuspecting woman who seemed to radiate warmth and kindness. The moment their gazes met, something within him stirred, an unfamiliar spark igniting deep within his hardened core.
Days turned into weeks, and ᴛᴀᴇʜʏᴜɴɢ ғound himself continuously captivated by YN's presence. He observed her from afar, meticulously learning about her life, her dreams, and the compassion she effortlessly showered upon those around her. It wasn't long before his obsession with YN took hold, gradually morphing into something he had never experienced before - love.
Haunted by his trauma and the void that had shaped his existence, ᴛᴀᴇʜʏᴜɴɢ found himself struggling with conflicting emotions. He had spent a lifetime embracing fear and intimidation, yet YN's presence seemed to unravel his carefully constructed facade. The idea of love was foreign to him, but he couldn't deny the yearning in his heart.
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
