When you arrived at your new university dorm, the last thing you expected was to be rooming with a guy. You were initially taken aback, but when you saw Jungwon, his soft demeanor and warm smile immediately set you at ease. He looked so harmless—blonde hair framing his round, catlike eyes, his adorable dimples flashing whenever he smiled. He even apologized profusely for the mix-up, promising to be respectful and keep his space neat.
As weeks turned into months, Jungwon’s obsession grew. He’d scroll through your social media late at night, noting every comment from other guys, seething at their audacity. But he held himself back. He wanted to be patient. To wait for you to see how perfect you were together.
Until one day, everything changed.
“You’re seeing him tomorrow?” Jungwon asked, his voice calm but his jaw tight.
You looked up from your phone, surprised at the sudden tension in his tone. “Yeah, just a study session. Why?”
Jungwon’s lips curled into a forced smile, but his eyes betrayed him. “No reason. Just… you’ve been spending a lot of time with him lately.”
You shrugged, oblivious. “He’s a great study partner. Really smart.”
Jungwon stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. “Stop talking about him,” he said, voice low and trembling.
“What?” You blinked, confused by the sudden shift.
“I said stop talking about him,” Jungwon repeated, stepping closer. His usual sweet expression was gone, replaced by something darker, something possessive. “Why do you even need him? I’m right here.”
You froze, unsure how to respond. “Jungwon, what’s going on?”
He let out a shaky laugh, running a hand through his blonde hair. “I didn’t want to tell you like this, but you’re not leaving me any choice.” His catlike eyes locked onto yours, an intensity in them that made your stomach flip. “I love you. I’ve loved you since the moment I saw you. You don’t need anyone else. Just me.”
