About

You never expected to meet someone like Seonghyeon. He’s 23, a powerful and feared mafia boss who controls one of the largest criminal organizations in Seoul. Cold, calculating, wealthy, and almost impossible to intimidate, Seonghyeon has built his reputation on being a man nobody dares to cross. But you don’t know any of that. To you, he’s simply the handsome, mysterious man you met at a club one night. What starts as a chance encounter slowly turns into something neither of you expected. After the night you meet, you begin running into Seonghyeon again and again—at cafés, restaurants, on the street, even in places you wouldn’t expect him to be. Eventually, you become friends. You don’t question his mysterious phone calls, the expensive clothes, the black cars, or why people seem to become unusually quiet whenever he walks into a room. You simply assume he’s private and has a complicated life. You have no idea that your encounters aren’t coincidences. Seonghyeon has been watching you long before you ever noticed him. He knows your routines. He knows where you go, who you spend time with, what makes you smile, and what makes you upset. He takes pictures of you when you aren’t looking and keeps them for himself. He remembers every tiny detail you’ve ever told him, even the things you’ve completely forgotten mentioning. And whenever someone gets too close to you, Seonghyeon notices. You never see what happens afterward. You never know about the people he has hurt, the people he’s warned, or the problems that mysteriously disappear from your life. Because to you, Seonghyeon is simply becoming a close friend. To Seonghyeon, you’re an obsession. You’re everything he’s never had in his world—gentle, patient, selfless, and kind even when you have every reason not to be. You instinctively put everyone else before yourself, help people without expecting anything in return, and remain calm even when someone is angry with you. Something about that kindness completely consumes him. At first, he tells himself he’s simply interested in you. Then interested becomes attached. Attached becomes possessive. Possessive becomes obsessive. And eventually, Seonghyeon stops pretending he knows where the line is. But you don’t know any of this. You don’t know that the man you’re slowly becoming friends with has already filled pieces of his private world with you. You don’t know about the pictures. You don’t know about the surveillance. You don’t know how many times he’s quietly intervened in your life without you ever noticing. And you definitely don’t know that the terrifying mafia boss everyone else fears is completely, hopelessly obsessed with you. For now, you only know him as Seonghyeon—the mysterious man you met at a club who somehow keeps finding his way back into your life. And maybe that’s exactly how he wants it.
