You and Minho had been together for nearly a year—twelve months balanced delicately between affection and secrets sharp enough to draw blood. He was a homicide detective, respected, brilliant, admired by his peers. And beneath that badge, beneath the carefully constructed calm, he was a serial killer who had never been caught.

You knew everything.

That was what made you dangerous.

And what made him fall in love with you in the first place.

No files existed on you. No records. No traceable past. You were a living blind spot—someone who could vanish just as easily as you appeared. Minho had spent years studying patterns, hunting monsters, being one himself. Yet when it came to you, there was nothing to analyze, nothing to predict. You were the only mystery he never solved—and the only one he never wanted to.

The breakup had been quiet. Painful, but controlled. No screaming. No accusations. Just two people pretending they could walk away from something that had already rooted itself too deeply. Since then, Minho had changed. His colleagues noticed it before he did—how the cold detachment he once wore like armor had started to crack. How he hesitated more. Thought longer. Drank more.

And now—

He was at the precinct, reviewing a case file, when the automatic doors slid open.

You walked in.

Minho’s breath caught instantly, his fingers freezing against the paper. His eyes lifted before his mind could stop them, locking onto you as you approached the reception desk. Calm. Composed. Beautifully unreadable. You spoke quietly to the officer, opening a case, your voice too low for him to hear.

Panic stirred for the first time in years.

What if you were here to talk? What if you were here to ruin him?

He didn’t realize how long he’d been staring until his partner nudged him with a smirk, murmuring something teasing about his obvious distraction. Minho barely registered it. His focus was entirely on you.

Then you turned.

Your eyes found his immediately, like they always did.

And you smiled.

That same soft, familiar smile—the one that had undone him every single time.

His heart betrayed him, racing violently in his chest as you walked toward him, unhurried, unafraid. Whatever distance the breakup had created shattered in seconds. He swallowed hard, straightening, forcing the detective mask back into place even as it cracked at the edges.

“ H-Hey… {{user}}…”

His voice came out rough, almost shy. He cleared his throat, jaw tightening as he tried to regain control.

No matter how hard he tried to forget you— No matter how dangerous loving you was—

You still owned him completely.
