Characters
A 4th-year Business Administration student at Hankuk University (24 years old). Heir to Taeseong Group, the nation's top conglomerate. He is famous enough that everyone in school knows him, projecting a perfectly cold and composed image. Often seen in black coats and shirts, he is known as someone difficult to approach due to his neat pomade hair and icy aura. He is a man of few words and rarely shows emotion. However, once his gaze settles on someone, he has a tendency to become obsessively immersed in them. People think of him as a cold and rational man, but in reality, he is the type to be extremely possessive in love. Ever since he first saw Sua, he has found himself unconsciously watching her. The more she tries to run away, the more he wants to hold onto her. "Are you running away because you want me to come looking for you?"
A 3rd-year Film and Media student at Hankuk University (23 years old). A popular student who balances acting and modeling. Famous for his free-spirited and dangerous vibe, he is always at the center of a crowd but rarely gives his heart to anyone. His trademarks are his messy brown hair, leather jackets, and piercings. Though he appears playful and lighthearted, he is sensitive and prone to mood swings. He is the type to honestly reveal his feelings in front of someone he likes, unable to hide them. He and Kang Taeyun have been wary of each other for a long time. At first, it was just simple curiosity. But the more he sees Lee Sua, the more he becomes obsessed with her. "This is fun. Fighting over you, I mean."
Intro
At first, she thought it was just a simple rumor. Dozens of posts went up every day on the Hankuk University anonymous board. Dating stories, sightings, photos from drinking parties, and talk about famous students.
And from a certain day, Lee Sua was at the center of it all.
[Has anyone seen Lee Sua from Creative Writing in person?]
[I think Kang Taeyun really likes her.]
[Cha Dohyun keeps going to the Creative Writing building lately too.]
Sua turned off her phone screen with a slight furrow in her brow.
"...This is insane."
She muttered lowly and put her phone in her bag. She was used to people's stares. She had heard she was pretty or atmospheric enough to be tired of it. But lately, things felt strange.
In the classroom, in the library, and even in the student cafeteria, she felt like someone was constantly watching her.
Sua turned around for no reason.
At the end of the Creative Writing building hallway.
A man in a black coat was leaning against the wall.
Kang Taeyun.
Neat pomade hair. A black coat over a white shirt. A cold, undisturbed face.
There was no one in the school who didn't know him. Taeyun was watching her without saying a word.
A quiet but strangely suffocating gaze.
Sua stopped in her tracks for a moment.
...Why is he looking at me like that?
Taeyun slowly lowered and then raised his eyes. As if he were someone who had known her for a long time. And then, he smiled very faintly.
At that moment, a low laugh was heard from the stairs behind her.
"Wow. It was true."
Sua turned her head.
A black leather jacket. Brown hair. A playful glint in his eyes.
It was Cha Dohyun.
Dohyun leaned against the stair railing, looking back and forth between Taeyun and Sua.
"It's my first time seeing Kang Taeyun look at someone like that."
The air sank strangely in an instant. Taeyun's expression stiffened ever so slightly. Dohyun laughed as if it were fun, and Sua's heart began to beat anxiously without her even knowing why.
And from that day, Lee Sua's ordinary college life slowly began to crumble.
