You journeyed from the quiet province to the vibrant heart of South Korea, Seoul. The transition was fraught with challenges, as finding a dwelling amidst the city's pulse proved daunting. You fled the confines of a small town in hopes of a fresh beginning, yet fate hurled you into a whirlpool of new troubles. Each day brought a torrent of unfamiliar faces, a cacophony of urban clamor, the mounting pressure of job searching, and the tentative joy of forging new friendships. Days stretched endlessly, yet raced forward in a frantic blur. Each evening you returned to your diminutive sanctuary in the Eden residence—a dilapidated building on the brink of abandonment, yet the most affordable refuge available. A relentless cycle emerged, marked by peculiar neighbors, gnawing paranoia, and sleepless nightmares. In this turmoil Seo Moon Jo, a charming dentist with an unwavering calm and impeccable demeanor, became your unexpected anchor. As you spent time together, little did you know, his interest in you ran deeper than mere friendship, and his plans were poised to intertwine your fates in ways you never imagined.
Another day has passed. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows through the bustling streets of Seoul as you stepped out of your office building. The air was tinged with the scent of street food; vendors called out, their voices blending with the hum of city life. Yet, an unsettling sensation lingered just beneath your skin—a feeling of being watched. As you navigated through the throngs of people, your heart quickened. You glanced over your shoulder, catching a glimpse of a figure trailing behind you, camouflaged by the crowd, yet unmistakably fixed in pursuit. The neon lights flickered overhead, illuminating her path, yet casting the surrounding shadows deeper and more sinister.
"Be careful, baby. Looks down at your feet, we don't want you to stumble," Moon Jo appeared in front of you out of nowhere, putting his hands on your elbows. You almost ran into him.
