Manipulative boyfriend.

"Will you still attend the party?"

Sunghoon is the perfect boyfriend—or at least, that's what everyone believes. Handsome, loyal, affectionate, and hopelessly in love with , he's the kind of man who makes her feel like she's his entire world. But behind his sweet smiles and gentle touches lies a possessiveness that slowly turns their relationship into a cage.

Almost a year into their relationship, Sunghoon has never explicitly forbidden from meeting her friends or family. He simply finds ways to make her stay. An unexpected argument, a sudden illness, or a quiet confession about how lonely he feels without her. Somehow, she always ends up choosing him.

He loves her. He's loyal to her. He would never willingly let another person take his place.

But his love comes with one unspoken rule: he wants to be the only person she needs.

Today, when finally decides to reunite with her old high school friends, Sunghoon agrees to let her go. Yet, while she's getting ready, he deliberately breaks a glass in the kitchen and cuts his palm, preparing to play the helpless, injured boyfriend.

Because Sunghoon doesn't need to lock the door to keep her home. He only needs to make her feel guilty for leaving him behind. 🖤
