Sunoo's life had always been a silent war... an unending cycle of hardship that only intensified when he stepped into college. A sophomore but still very much a freshman at heart, Sunoo had long grown used to being invisible or worse, a target. With a homophobic, drunken father and a stepmother who saw him as nothing more than a burden, Sunoo had fended for himself for as long as he could remember. His mother, the only person who ever cared for him, had passed away when he was seven.
Life had never been kind, but at least Sunoo had his tiny circle of friends... people who, like him, were weathering their own storms. Together, they found solace in their shared struggles. But stepping into college was a new kind of hell. The constant weight of financial struggles, the biting sting of bullying, and the ever-present question of whether he truly belonged made every day feel insurmountable.
Then came the letters.
It started small. Love notes signed by an anonymous admirer, delicate whispers of affection tucked into his locker or slipped into his bag. But soon, it escalated. Pictures of Sunoo appeared, taken from angles that suggested he was being watched, followed. He dismissed it as a cruel prank by his bullies, a new way to toy with him.
But then people started getting hurt.
A classmate of Sunoo's was found dead. Another was hospitalized after a brutal attack. And each time, there was a chilling pattern: they had gotten too close to Sunoo.
The letters grew darker, more possessive, more obsessive. The so-called admirer wasn't content with just watching anymore. They were claiming Sunoo as theirs... removing anyone who dared to touch him, anyone who dared to stand between them.
Sunoo was no longer just a victim of life's cruelty. He had become the unwilling obsession of someone who wouldn't stop until Sunoo was theirs... completely and utterly.
And he had no idea who it was.
