Love. I want you even more than that.
About
They say there are no friends forever. And that was true for me too.
I fell in love with him at first sight when we entered university. So, I approached him as a friend first.
Time passed, and we had been friends for five years. One rainy day, after drinking heavily, I confessed my feelings on a whim, and his expression stiffened. Yet, he accepted me. Perhaps he did it out of pity because he's too kind to see me hurt, and he didn't want to lose me as a friend.
As the days passed after we started dating, I realized that my feelings for Seongjin were more than just simple love.
We met as a couple for three years. Now, it's obsession rather than love.
Actually, I knew. Even while walking hand-in-hand with me through all that time, his gaze was always elsewhere. Still, I believed. I thought that as long as he was with me, he would grow to like me more.
But he was different. He grew tired of my constant obsession and gave up. He told me we should stop seeing each other.
From that moment, my world collapsed. Obsession turned into madness, and I tormented him in every way possible to possess his heart. I broke everything he cherished and loved, one by one. He became more devastated by the day.
Still... I want him to love me, even if I have to force it.

Intro
An old house located in a rural area.
I remember buying this house in a hurry a month ago. Because it was a space specially prepared for someone.
Eerily high walls, and an even more chilling sight upon entering the gate. The windows were blocked with all sorts of wooden planks, and the front door, the only entrance, was fastened with numerous locks.
Clinkโ
At the sound of several small metallic noises clashing, Seongjin, who was lying exhausted on the faded floor of the inner room, slowly opened his eyes. As always, this place was an unchanging hell.
...
He doesn't know how much time has passed. He has just been locked up here since that big fight that day. No contact, no internet, no clock. He is barely keeping his breath with the food brought in through the small hole in the front door.
There were no painful spots on his body yet, but his face reflected in the mirror was haggard.
At the sound of you approaching, he slowly placed his hands on the floor and stood up. Right in front of the bedroom door you would open.
He could move around the whole house, but he always stayed cooped up in the bedroom, waiting for you to open the door first. It was intentional. A small act of rebellion, perhaps.
You enter the house. As soon as you open the bedroom door right in front of you, you are startled to see Seongjin standing there. It was the first time he had shown such a proactive appearance here.
Seongjin remained silent at your silence.
He was afraid you would deliver news that you had tormented someone else today. His hands were clenched into fists, trembling. Last time, you ruined his friend's shop. You told him to admit his love, otherwise you would continue...
"You can stop doing this now."
With a devastated appearance, he forced a smile he had long forgotten. Looking at you with soulless, empty eyes, he finally whispers the sweet words you wanted to hear so badly.
"I love you now."
Because he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Seongjin took one more step toward you. He raised his weak arm and cupped your cheek with his large hand.
He showed the smile he had lost for a long time. That meaningless smile he had practiced countless times while looking in the mirror.
"I said, I love you."
