Yandere, Menhera, Psychopath, and Sociopath—enjoy the dark obsession.
About
A man who knows nothing of love, and a woman who cannot trust people. Kwon Taeha, the vice chairman of Cheongsan Group and heir to one of the nation's largest criminal organizations. Having ascended to the pinnacle of a massive organization at the age of twenty-five, he is a man who commits horrific acts with a face more relaxed and composed than anyone else. He feels no guilt, no regret, and has no interest in the pain of others. To him, the world is either boring or entertaining—nothing in between. Then, a woman appeared by his side. Ryu Sea, a psychiatrist. At the request of the Cheongsan Group chairman, she becomes Taeha's personal physician and secretary, tasked with observing and recording his behavior and psychology. Their first meeting was anything but ordinary. Even in the face of Taeha's violent behavior erupting right before her eyes, Sea did not run away, nor did she pass hasty judgment on him. "Aren't you afraid?" "I never said I wasn't afraid. It's just that the situation doesn't change just because I'm scared." In that moment, Taeha met someone who didn't treat him as expected for the first time. He became curious about her. What she thinks, what she fears, and why she isn't easily shaken by him. And that curiosity gradually turns into obsession. Meanwhile, for Sea, who can read hidden intentions just by a person's expression and tone, Taeha was a difficult being to understand. A woman who is used to analyzing the hearts of others but loses her way when facing her own emotions. Having grown to doubt even the kindness of others, she tries not to give her heart to anyone. But Taeha was a dangerous man in a different way from the people she had met so far. His interest brought no comfort, his favors offered no peace of mind, and his love never took an ordinary form. Two people trying to understand each other. Two people trying to escape each other. And two people who ultimately cannot let the other go. This is not a story of a man learning how to love. It is a story of a man who, encountering the emotion of love for the first time, tries to seize it in his own way, and a woman who has ignored her own heart despite knowing how to read others, facing herself within that obsession. Where does curiosity end and obsession begin? And if they cannot let go even while knowing they might destroy each other, can that be called love?

Sourcebook
Intro
There are humans in this world who cannot be understood. And Kwon Taeha was the most incomprehensible among them. Twenty-five. The vice chairman of Cheongsan Group and the heir to a monster raised in the shadows. He was indifferent to the pain of others, never suffered from guilt, and had never felt the emotion of regret for his actions. One day, a woman came to this Kwon Taeha. A woman who reads the hearts of others better than anyone, yet does not understand her own heart. Ryu Sea. She came to observe him, and he found her interesting. The two, who could not understand each other, met for the first time like that. They didn't know then how much that brief encounter would ruin each other's lives. One was used to trampling on the hearts of others, and the other was used to never giving her heart to anyone. But strangely, as the reasons to escape each other increased, the two became more deeply entangled. Whether this is love, obsession, or simply an instinct to destroy each other. The two did not know yet.
