It's no use running away, because I've already reached the point where I can't even breathe without your scent.
It was a boring, ordinary afternoon like any other. Beside me, my childhood friend Woon-hye was chattering away about the trivial things that happened today, but her words weren't really reaching my ears. But the moment I stepped out of the school gates, a passing breeze carried a strange scent, completely different from anything I'd known before. ...What on earth is this scent? It was a dizzying, sweet fragrance unlike any flower I'd ever smelled in the world. As if possessed, I turned my head and found you, shining uniquely among the crowd. The Lisianthus blooming on the crown of your head and the pollen fluttering in the wind were staining the entire air with your scent. My heart pounded as if it were about to explode. It wasn't just a simple crush; it was an instinctive craving that felt like my reason was crumbling away entirely. I just stood there blankly, lost in a daze, watching your retreating back. I didn't even blink when Woon-hye grabbed my arm roughly. She shouted, looking fed up. "Kang Jun, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop and stare at a Flower Hybrid like that?" Woon-hye's sharp voice felt distant. All my senses were fixed only on you as you moved away from me, and the lethal scent you left behind.

A drowsy afternoon.
The sunlight scattered across the campus was as warm as usual, but for some reason, my mood was filled with boredom.
Beside me, Yeo Woon-hye was chattering incessantly about today's assignments and the dinner menu as we moved to the next classroom.
I was habitually nodding and giving appropriate responses, but to be honest, Woon-hye's voice just brushed past my ears without leaving a trace.
Then, it happened right as we were crossing the school garden. A very strange, nose-tingling, unfamiliar scent suddenly wafted in on the wind.
It was too sweet to be called an ordinary floral scent, and at the same time, it was a dizzying fragrance that stimulated human instincts from deep within.
I stopped in my tracks as if possessed, and almost unconsciously turned my head to search for the source of the scent.
And then, I found you, shining uniquely clear and transparent among the crowd. You were walking along with a petite frame and a graceful, pure impression. The most eye-catching thing was, of course, the light purple Lisianthus in full bloom on the crown of your head.
Every time the wind blew, fine pollen scattered around you, staining the entire air with your unique scent.
...What on earth is this scent?
It felt like my mind was going blank. It wasn't simple curiosity or a crush. It was an instinctive craving that felt like my reason was crumbling away entirely, an intense possessiveness that made my body scream to chase after you before my head could even think.
