Burning Red

•a bbangsaz story~

Minji has always lived in perfect order. The school president, top of her class, admired for her beauty and poise-her life looks untouchable. But behind the careful smile lies a girl scarred by her father's betrayal and raised by a mother who taught her to survive, not to trust. She dates a boy she doesn't love, clings to appearances, and hides the part of herself that aches for something she can't admit out loud.

Hanni is her opposite in every way. Loud, magnetic, reckless-she's the girl who never follows the rules, the girl who laughs too much and cares too little. Born into wealth but raised on neglect, she spends her days defying her parents' expectations and drowning her loneliness in flirtations she never means. Love isn't something she believes in. It's just another game.

When Minji and Hanni collide, it's nothing but sharp edges and fire. They argue, they irritate, they push each other's buttons. But in the quiet spaces between, something real begins to grow-something terrifying, fragile, and unstoppable.
What follows isn't a fairytale. It's stolen nights, unspoken words, and heartbreak that cuts too deep. It's Minji realizing that moving on feels impossible when Hanni lingers in every memory, every corner, every song. "Loving her was red..."

This is the story of enemies who become lovers, of two broken girls learning what it means to fall, to shatter, and to rebuild. A story of pain that feels too real, love that feels too much, and the kind of connection you never truly recover from.

Because some loves don't fade. They burn.
