In a tale of artistic passion and hidden fears, Kim Taehyung-a celebrated photographer renowned for his exquisite talent-stood captivated by one singular obsession: butterflies. Their delicate wings, vibrant colours, and fleeting beauty symbolised everything he sought to immortalise through his lens. With an upcoming exhibition that promised to define his career, Taehyung faced an unexpected hurdle-he couldn't find his muse. Inspiration eluded him like a shy butterfly, always fluttering just out of reach.
Desperate to reignite his creative spark, he decided to venture to Busan, a place rich with untamed nature and boundless possibilities. There, amidst the sea breeze and bustling cityscapes, he believed he might finally discover the face that would breathe life into his vision.
And then, he found her.
She was enchanting, her presence akin to a mystery yet to be unravelled. Her eyes held a quiet depth, her movements a gentle grace, and in her, Taehyung saw the very essence of the art he longed to create. But fate, as mischievous as ever, had a cruel twist in store. The very thing that ignited his soul-his beloved butterflies-was her deepest fear.
She suffered from lepidopterophobia, a paralysing dread of butterflies. To her, they were not ethereal creatures of beauty but harbingers of anxiety. Every flutter of their wings struck a chord of terror deep within her. Yet, something about Taehyung's earnest gaze, his unrelenting dedication to his craft, and his gentle charm made her hesitate before running away.
The journey that followed was one of healing, understanding, and unexpected love. As strangers, they were worlds apart-a man enthralled by beauty and a woman burdened by fear. Yet, as their paths intertwined, their differences became the canvas for a love story neither of them could have anticipated.

"Taehyung..Again..I... I had a terrible nightmare. It felt so real, like I was trapped in a world of fear."
Taehyung moved closer, gently taking her hand in his. "I'm here now. You're safe," he reassured her, their touch offering a comforting anchor.
"I was running in the rain, barefoot and scared. I could feel the blood on my clothes, and then... he appeared-the mysterious man. I was paralyzed with fear."
Taehyung's eyes filled with empathy as they listened intently. "It was just a dream, my love. You're safe here with me. Remember, dreams can be strange and unsettling, but they don't define our reality."
Nodding, she took a deep breath, allowing her partner's words to soothe her racing thoughts. "You're right. It was just a dream. But it felt so real, like a glimpse into another world."
