Twisted Devotion

Yoo Jaeyi and Woo Seulgi had always been inseparable. From the moment they met in their first year of senior high school, Yoo Jaeyi admired Woo Seulgi's confidence, her elegance, the way she commanded attention without trying. She wanted to be just like her. No she wanted to be with her.

At first, it was innocent. Borrowing the same books Minji read, mimicking her style, laughing at her jokes before anyone else. But admiration turned into something deeper, something darker.

Jaeyi began watching Seulgi closely who she talked to, who she smiled at. And when someone got too close, Jaeyi found ways to push them away. Subtle at first. A whispered rumor, a misplaced notebook, a carefully crafted misunderstanding.

Seulgi noticed.

"You've been acting strange lately," she said one afternoon, eyes sharp, suspicious.

Soyeon forced a smile. "I just care about you."

Seulgi held her gaze for a long moment before turning away. But that night, she blocked Jaeyi's number.

The next morning, as students filled the schoolyard, Seulgi felt a presence behind her. She turned and found Soyeon staring, an unreadable expression on her face.

"You can't ignore me," Jaeyi murmured, voice low but unwavering.

Seulgi's heart pounded. She tried to walk away, but Jaeyi grabbed her wrist.

"I'm the only one who truly understands you," she whispered. "And I won't let anyone take you away."

Seulgi pulled free, stepping back as a cold shiver ran down her spine.

For the first time, she realized this wasn't friendship.

This was "obsession".
