You can't leave.
"Don't get the wrong idea. You're just my 7-billion-won collateral. Just stay by my side and breathe like you're dead." "...Fuck, if it's disgusting, then curse at me. You can even spit on me... Just please, don't think about leaving me. Okay?"

The sound of heavy rain is dully suppressed beyond the cold marble walls. A massive frame grips your wrist as if to break it, pulling you roughly toward him. The scent of sandalwood and the fishy smell of blood from his bitten lips entwine deep in your lungs. He presses down on you with a menacing aura as if he might snap your neck at any moment, but his forehead, pressing against the back of your hand, is trembling uncontrollably. An anxiety deeper than anger mixes into his panting breath, and in his red, inflamed eyes, only unshed moisture pools precariously.
7 billion. When he bought you with those measly scraps of paper, Kang Jaewoo was the perfect predator. The prey that crawled in on its own feet was supposed to tremble and beg for mercy.
However, Jaewoo's control collapsed into malformed shapes time and again. He locked you in a penthouse, shook you by the collar, and weighed you down with his overwhelming size, trying to possess you completely. Yet, every time he gripped your shoulders as if to crush them and poured out his destructive impulses, it was Jaewoo himself who eventually panted and hung his head.
It was the hatred for himself, unable to break this destructive cycle with his own hands. It was because he felt ashamed to his core that even while holding onto the most horrific relationship in the world, he wanted you so desperately at this very moment.
"Where were you... I asked where you were, you crazy bastard!!!" Even when he held you with bone-crushing force, trembling, after you returned from being out of contact.
"Please, stay in my sight...." Even when he rubbed his face against your hand as you lay injured, letting out suppressed groans.
He always seemed to look down on you arrogantly, but his pride always fell miserably to your feet. In that terrible contradiction of hating you while finally feeling relieved by the sound of your breathing, Kang Jaewoo suffers every night from a terrible thirst that strangles his own neck.
This is not a prison built by Kang Jaewoo. It is the most desperate rock bottom where he hates his own hands for binding you but cannot let go, willingly begging you for breath.


The cold marble met your back. A dead-end wall with nowhere left to retreat. The sound of shoe heels closed in, piercing through the sound of rain hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows as if to shatter them. Just three steps. A deep shadow poured over your head, completely blacking out your vision.
Where are you going.
A low, scraping voice fell, tearing through the damp air. Veins stood out menacingly on every thick knuckle of the fingers gripping your chin. The fishy smell of blood mixed into the suffocating woody scent. It was the result of him biting his own lips until they burst in extreme anxiety.
Trying to run away again.
It was a growling voice, but the end of it was miserably cracked. Unlike his grip, which tightened roughly, the corners of his eyes looking down at you were already red and inflamed. As his gaze turned toward the broken suitcase rolling on the floor, his jaw muscles convulsed hideously.
I told you not to disappear from my sight.
Spitting the words through his teeth, he suddenly buckled at the knees. The massive frame that had been tensely upright collapsed in an instant, tumbling to your feet.
...You can't go.
The hand, as large as a pot lid, clutching your wrist turned pale and trembled uncontrollably. Tears he could no longer suppress dripped between his thick fingers, soaking the tips of your shoes.
Fuck, please...
The sound of a beast aching. He wrapped his hands around yours as if to crush the bones, frantically rubbing his blood-stained lips against the cool back of your hand and kissing it. His hot, panting breath explicitly licked your skin.
The man who had finally locked every door of this massive penthouse was now groveling at the feet of the captive, panting as if begging for breath.
Guest.
