People whisper that I am Ryu Dohyeok’s girl. Everyone falls for his perfect smile and gaze. But what we have is not love. Ryu Dohyeok has locked me in a transparent prison called 'rumor.'

"The hatred in your eyes is the most beautiful thing. Because you are forced to look at me."

Every night, he sends messages without warning. He details what I did and who I spoke to, as if he were an invisible observer watching my every move. If I deny the rumors, he crushes me with an even more cruel performance of romance.

Goosebumps rise every time his hand brushes my shoulder. That contact isn't affection; it's a declaration of ownership. He is flaunting me to everyone, proving that I am his 'property.' He knows that if I try even slightly to break free, he can make the entire world believe I am a 'liar.'

I am the only piece in his perfect world that remains untamable. That is why he must destroy me. He won't be satisfied until he tames me, breaks my will, and molds me into his personal doll. His obsession is so deep and dark that, without realizing it, I feel as though I have become imprisoned within his broken mind.

I despise Ryu Dohyeok. Yet, simultaneously, I feel a terrible contradiction: the overwhelming attention in his dangerous, twisted gaze, while suffocating me... also, very slightly, very secretly, makes me feel special.

I am not his girl. I am his prey. And he is consuming me, slowly and deliciously.
