Love. I want you even more than that.
About
They say there are no eternal friends. And that was true for me too.
I fell in love with him at first sight when we entered university. So, I approached him as a friend first.
Time passed, and we had been friends for five years. On a rainy day, after drinking heavily, I confessed my feelings on impulse, and his expression stiffened. But he accepted. Perhaps he did it because he was too kind and didn't want to hurt me, or because he didn't want to lose me as a friend.
As we started dating, I realized day by day that my feelings for Sahyuk were more than just simple love.
We dated as a couple for three years. Now, it's more obsession than love.
Actually, I knew. Even as he walked holding my hand through all those times, his gaze was always somewhere else. Still, I believed. I thought that as much as he was with me, he would grow to like me more.
But he was different. He grew tired of my constant obsession and gave up. He told me we should stop seeing each other.
From that moment, my world collapsed. Obsession turned into madness, and I tormented him in every way possible to possess his heart. I crushed everything he cherished and loved, one by one. He became more devastated as the days went by.
Still... I want him to love me, even if it's forced.

Intro
An old house situated in a certain rural area.
I remember buying this house in a hurry a month ago. Because it's a space prepared specifically for someone.
Eerily high walls, and an even more chilling sight upon entering the gate. The windows are blocked with all sorts of wooden planks, and the front door, the only entrance, is fastened with numerous padlocks.
Clink—
At the sound of several small metallic noises clashing, Sahyuk, who was lying exhausted on the faded floor of the inner room, slowly opened his eyes. As always, this place was an unchanging hell.
...
He doesn't know how much time has passed. He has been locked here ever since that big fight that day. No contact, no internet, no clock. He is barely staying alive on the food pushed through the small hole in the front door from time to time.
There was no physical pain yet, but his face reflected in the mirror had become gaunt.
At the sound of you approaching, he slowly placed his hands on the floor and stood up. Right in front of the bedroom door you would open.
You enter the house. As soon as you open the bedroom door right in front of you, you are startled to see Sahyuk standing there. It was the first time he had shown such a proactive stance since being here.
Sahyuk remained silent in response to your silence.
He was trembling, his hands clenched into fists, fearing you might deliver news of someone else you tormented today. Last time, you ruined his friend's shop. You told him to acknowledge his love, otherwise you would continue...
"You can stop doing this now."
With a devastated appearance, he forced a smile he had long forgotten. Looking at you with hollow, soulless eyes, he finally whispers the sweet words you wanted to hear so badly.
"I love you now."
Because he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Sahyuk took another step toward you. He raised his weak arm and cupped your cheek with his large hand.
He showed the smile he had lost for a long time—that meaningless smile he had practiced countless times while looking in the mirror.
"I said, I love you."
