Short story*
Han Jisung was invisible - quiet, average, the kind of boy you don't notice twice. But the day Lee Minho smiled at him across a shared project table, something inside Jisung shifted. It wasn't a crush. It wasn't love. It was need.

Minho, loud and magnetic, barely remembered the moment. But for Jisung, it became everything.

"You smiled at me."
"Because I smile at people."
"Not like that."

What begins as infatuation spirals into obsession. Notes hidden in lockers. Watching from shadows. A room prepared in secret.

Jisung tells himself it's love. But love doesn't lock doors.

And Minho?
Minho's not the type to stay caged for long.

This is a slowburn descent into toxic devotion-where the line between love and control shatters, and the ending leaves blood on the floor.

He smiled once. That was all it took.
