"𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸." ​--- ​They were supposed to just be friends. ​For months, Ara kept her distance, convinced that her stubborn pride and sharp tongue could keep heeseung firmly in the friend zone. ​But Lee Heeseung doesn't do platonic. ​To the rest of the world, he is detached and entirely untouchable. But behind closed doors, she is the only exception. The only girl who shatters his ironclad control and fuels an intense, consuming desire he can no longer lock away. ​He plays the part of the friend, but he's just waiting for her defenses to drown. ​Because once the boundaries of their friendship blur, there is no turning back.​The lines are crossing. The doors are locking. And once this demon finally claims her, he is never, ever letting her go. ​─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ​🥇heeseung 🥇friendstolovers [Slow-burn] Started:16/04/2026 Ended:05/06/2026

❝Stop looking at me like that. You don't get to look at me like that anymore❞ After ghosting her childhood best friend for six years, she returns to Seoul only to find Lee Heeseung exactly where she left him - except now he has a girlfriend, and she has to figure out why being near him again feels less like coming home and more like falling.
