Forbidden Obsession

The gentle hum of morning settled over the Jung family kitchen, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing in Yn's heart.

"Yn… there’s something we need to talk to you about," her father's voice cut through the quiet.

And just like that, her world splintered. A business expansion. South Korea. Leaving everything behind, including Jackson, the boy she loved. The argument was brief, fueled by her raw refusal.

She ran to campus, seeking solace in his familiar presence. But Jackson's reaction was lukewarm, a promise made with a forced smile, a chilling premonition of the truth to come.

The next morning, the truth hit like a physical blow. Jackson, her Jackson, kissing her friend Jenny in the hallway. His cruel words that followed—venomous, shattering her already fragile heart. She fled, the pain a physical ache.

Days blurred into a haze of tears and silent preparation. Then, the plane. The new city. Seoul. Loud, cold, fast. A ghost in someone else's story.

Daehyun University loomed large and intimidating. And then she saw him. Professor Kim Taehyung. Tall, captivating, with eyes that saw too much. He challenged her from the start, his voice a low hum of control and something else, something that made her body react in ways she didn't understand.

Alone in her new room, the memory of his words, his nearness, mixed with Jackson's cruel dismissal, created a storm of confusion and burgeoning desire. The reading assignment—Romanticism, Obsession, Forbidden Desires—seemed to mirror her own unraveling state.
