The Unknown Paths

Seonghwa is a quiet, professional nurse starting a new job at one of the most secure psychiatric facilities in the country. He's assigned to Room 313-home to Kim Hongjoong, a dangerous and unpredictable patient known for a brutal crime that shocked the nation.

Hongjoong is charming, intelligent, and terrifying. He suffers from bipolar disorder and has a violent alter ego named Halajong, who takes over without warning. Staff warn Seonghwa to stay distant. Don't get close. Don't make it personal.

But Hongjoong becomes obsessed-with Seonghwa.

And as strange tension grows between them, Seonghwa finds himself caught between fear, fascination, and a connection he never expected.

**This is a story about danger, obsession, forbidden attraction, and the darkness we try to hide-even from ourselves.**

⚠️ Dark themes, mental illness, psychological tension, eventual spice, and a slow-burning obsession.
