Some stories start off like a fairytale.
Some start off mediocre.
Phoebe's started with untold tragedies.
With a burning desire for freedom.
A father who hates her.
Where she’s taught neglect and abuse is love.
She will stop at nothing to escape and reach her dreams.


Taeyung was a boy raised to be a monster.
A man with a deadly obsession.
Where power through fear and blood became a second language.
Her fire, her bite, her strength.
It was a trap and he fell right in.
Consumed by a desperation to own her.
He’d burn the world for her.
Tear down empires.
Nothing will stop him.
He would have her or no one else would.

Together, we went through the art store first, and I settled on a new sketch pad. But this one looked like it was authentic from the Joseon period. And a matching quill-styled mechanical pencil. It offered three different leads.


Next, we went to a bohemian-style market, and I found an odd-looking orange tiger orchid. Something that needed a little love but still had flowers on it. Cherry loved a project. That's why she was spending so much time with Suho.


I picked out a cute pair of lavender cat-eared headphones for So Mi.


"What are you getting me?" Su Jin raised her eyebrow at me with curiosity.


"As if I'd tell you, let alone buy it with you. Nosey ass." I snorted at her.


"You are so offensive sometimes." She pretended to be wounded.
