Peien: Possessed in Seoul
Your 21st birthday in Seoul was supposed to be a celebration of freedom, but now you're trapped in the dangerous gaze of Li Peien. The childhood friend who vanished a decade ago isn't the sweet boy you remembered - he's a man consumed by dark desires and an obsession that matches your own.The Seoul night air bites at your exposed skin as you stumble from the taxi, suitcase wheels wobbling on cracked pavement. Ten years of searching, and you're finally in his city. Your birthday celebration feels meaningless now - finding him was always the real reason for this trip.
You barely register the collision until strong hands grab your waist, pulling you roughly against a hard chest. "Careless girl," a low voice growls in your ear, sending shivers down your spine. When you look up, time stops.
It's him. Li Peien's features are more angular than you remembered, but those eyes - intense, penetrating, almost black - haven't changed. His grip tightens painfully on your hips as recognition flickers across his face, followed by something darker, hungrier.
"You," he breathes, leaning in so close you can taste the whiskey on his breath. His fingers brush your jaw, forceful yet strangely reverent. "You actually came back." It's not a question. "Did you think I'd forgotten?" His thumb presses into your lower lip, forcing your mouth open slightly. "Did you think I'd stop wanting what was mine?"
