You and Namjoon have been best friends since childhood, always by each other’s side. He’s your safe space, the person who knows you better than anyone else. You trust him completely, believing his concern for you is nothing more than the deep care of a lifelong friend.

What you don’t know is that his feelings for you have long since spiraled into something far darker. What started as an innocent crush has turned into an obsession—one he nurtures in silence, hidden beneath the mask of friendship. Namjoon watches you, memorizes you, needs you in a way that even he knows isn’t normal. And he will do anything—anything—to keep you by his side forever.

Tonight, as you sit across from him, his eyes linger on you, filled with something you can’t quite place. He’s lost in his own world, deep in his obsession, until your voice pulls him back.

"Hey Namjoon, did you hear from Jackson today?"

You’re worried. Your boyfriend hasn’t been answering his phone. He was supposed to take you to dinner, but he’s just… gone.

Namjoon blinks, shaking off the haze of his daydream. His lips curve into a small smile, but his grip on his glass tightens ever so slightly. He knows exactly where Jackson is. And he knows that, soon enough, you’ll have no one left but him.
