Some scars don’t fade. They evolve. Do-yeon lives in silence, her world built on control, distance, and careful observation. To others, she is calm and unreadable—but beneath that stillness lies a past shaped by violence, loss, and a truth she refuses to let surface. She does not seek connection. She survives without it. Ji-hoon believes in patterns. As a psychology student, he trusts that every action has meaning, every mind can be understood. But when he encounters Do-yeon, his certainty begins to fracture. She does not respond the way people should. She does not break the way people do. And the more he tries to understand her, the more he is drawn into something he cannot explain. What begins as curiosity slowly turns into something deeper—and far more dangerous. Because Do-yeon is not just hiding from her past. She is shaped by it. And the closer Ji-hoon gets, the more he risks becoming part of a story that was never meant to be uncovered. As buried truths begin to surface, silence becomes a weapon, trust becomes a risk, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Scar Theory is a dark psychological web novel that explores trauma, obsession, and the fragile line between understanding and destruction—where some scars are not meant to heal, only to define what remains.

VELET SALT AND VENOM (he was the venom) is a slow-burn, emotionally charged story that traces the journey of Aeris Vale, a talented photographer navigating heartbreak, desire, and the unexpected intrusion of a darkly magnetic presence into her life. The enigmatic figure of Caelum Rhaith.

He was the sweetest, perfect boyfriend every girl could dream of. Until one night, what she thought was love turns into a nightmare when she discovers her fiancee's darkest secret.

Satoshi, a teenager living under the shadow of childhood trauma, becomes trapped in a dark and ambiguous relationship with a girl named Misaki—a figure who blends gentleness, secrecy, and madness in a strangely captivating way. Their meeting is not the beginning of an ordinary love story, but the start of a fracture in reality, a moral unraveling, and the awakening of a long-sleeping dark side within Satoshi. As they gradually reveal their pasts, hurt each other, and merge their separate ruins, the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur. Misaki becomes a friend, an enemy, a teacher, a shadow, and an addiction—while Satoshi slowly loses himself, only to discover something darker… something that had always quietly lived within him. The story moves like Shutter Island infused with Black Swan-like tragedy: a psychological journey that peels back layers of old wounds, accompanied by an obsessive bond born from fragility, revenge, and the need to be understood. From the villa tragedy that shattered Satoshi’s childhood, to Misaki’s subtle manipulation that cuts deep into his soul, the story leads them toward a final symphony—letters, confessions, and an unfinished truth. Because their love is not about healing. Their love is about finding oneself in the darkness. And the darkness… has always wanted them both.
