For one young man, a hidden first love for the senior he had long admired was supposed to end as nothing more than a bittersweet memory. Even though his feelings were never returned, he believed this unrequited affection would simply fade into a cherished piece of his past. That was how the story should have concluded—a quiet, fleeting romance that left no lasting scars. Instead, something deep within him fractured, twisting his innocent admiration into an obsession far darker than anything he could have anticipated. "I want to make you mine at any cost." Driven by this warped declaration, the boy's once-gentle emotions begin to bloom into something pitch-black and consuming. The faint, tender love he held so dear to his heart gradually transforms into a dangerous fixation that defies reason. What follows is a volatile, endless cycle of love and hatred between the two, as they relentlessly toy with each other's fragile emotions. Bound together by this toxic entanglement, the boy and girl are drawn into a psychological struggle where neither can escape. As their twisted dynamic spirals further out of control, the ultimate question remains: exactly where will this dark path lead them?
