(OUT OF TUNE)

For Aaron—the school band vocalist adored by hundreds of girls—the standards for his ideal woman were sky-high: stylish, fragrant, and popular. So, seeing her—a large-framed, sweet girl who consistently ignored his existence—was an eyesore. She was the definition of "ugly" and absolutely not his type.

Aaron Ledger convinced himself that he hated her.

Yet, his logic failed him whenever he was around her. Without realizing it, he constantly sought ridiculous excuses to show up outside her classroom. He deliberately provoked her just to make her turn his way. Moreover, his massive ego flared up violently whenever another guy dared to approach the library corner where she sat.

Aaron came across as abrasive and cynical, refusing to admit that his mind had been consumed by an irrational obsession. He was trapped in deep denial, stubbornly refusing to stay away from her.

This isn't a story about a popular guy slowly softening up. It is a story about the grip of obsession on an arrogant man who doesn't even realize he has been brought to his knees.

"I hate you. But if you dare disappear from my sight... remember this one thing: I won't hesitate to destroy whatever makes you leave."
