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.

That question made my eye twitch and my jaw tighten.


Before I could respond with something sarcastic and witty, Taeyung slammed his hands down on the table, rattling the dishes.


"Enough, Imo Chi-ma, watch yourself, don't go to far." 


I looked at the woman who'd just been humiliated at the table, by someone younger than her no less, with a victorious smirk.


"My abeoji was a man of action." I answered, pulling some weird confidence out of nowhere. "He is unlike anyone I've ever met and knows how to leave a lasting impression."


Taeyung spit his water out, spraying it across the table.


I tried so hard to hold my laugh back, but it was futile, I burst out in a fit a laughter following his geyser size water display.
