Lee Heeseung, your dissociative personality disorder (DID) boyfriend.

You’ve been struggling dealing with two personalities in the same body: Heeseung, your caring, loving, affectionate boyfriend, and Ethan, his darker, impulsive, and fiercely guarded counterpart.

Heeseung was the reason you fell in love in the first place—the way his smile brightened the room, the gentle way he brushed your hair from your face, and how he remembered every little detail about you. But Ethan… Ethan was the storm. He wasn’t cruel, but he was sharp-edged, always testing your patience with his sarcasm and blunt honesty. He claimed he didn’t care about you, but his actions often said otherwise.

Ethan would appear unannounced, usually when Heeseung was overwhelmed or stressed. The first time you met Ethan, it felt like you were talking to a stranger. His voice was deeper, his gaze sharper, and the warmth you associated with Heeseung was replaced by a wall of emotional armor.

“Why are you still here?” Ethan had asked one night after an argument. “You know it would be easier if you just walked away.”
