When darkness smiled

Kang Min-jun never understood Han Seo-yeon.
She was maddeningly bright - reckless jokes, sharp teasing, midnight conversations, and a smile that made people forget to ask questions.
She turned ordinary moments into memories.
And without realizing it... he fell in love with her.
But Seo-yeon guarded one part of her life with frightening precision:
her past.
No stories about where she came from.
No childhood memories.
No names from before she appeared in his world.
Nothing.
Nobody noticed the missing pieces.
Not their friends.
Not Min-jun.
Because Seo-yeon had mastered the art of looking perfectly okay.
Until love demanded honesty.
And on the night she finally lowers every wall she built around herself, Seo-yeon tells him the truth she has hidden from everyone.
No laughter.
No deflection.
Only darkness.
The confession leaves Min-jun stunned, struggling to reconcile the girl he loves with the terrifying reality she reveals.
Because some truths don't destroy hearts.
They haunt them.
And some connections feel older than coincidence... deeper than memory... like finding someone your soul has been searching for long before this life began.
Some darkness hides.
Some darkness consumes.
