Sweet Obsession//YEONBIN

Soobin carried Yeonjun into his mansion, gently cradling him as if he were the most fragile thing in the world. The grand entrance echoed with the sound of Soobin's footsteps as he brought Yeonjun straight to his bedroom-a place no one else had ever entered.

"Home sweet home, my little fox," Soobin murmured softly, placing Yeonjun on the king-sized bed. He brushed a few strands of hair from Yeonjun's forehead, his touch lingering as his eyes filled with twisted affection.

Yeonjun stirred, his lashes fluttering as he opened his eyes slowly. "S-Soobin? Where... where am I?" his voice trembled in confusion, still weak from the shock.

"Shhh... You're safe now, hyung. You're home with me," Soobin whispered, his fingers trailing along Yeonjun's jaw. "I promised to protect you from the pain, didn't I? I did it all for you."

Yeonjun's heart pounded against his ribs as he tried to sit up, but Soobin's hands gently pushed him back down. "Why... why did you do that, Soobin?" His voice cracked, tears threatening to fall. "You... you killed her..."

Soobin's smile softened, but there was a dark glint in his eyes. "I had to, baby. She was hurting you-lying to you. I couldn't let her poison your heart anymore." He leaned closer, his lips barely an inch from Yeonjun's ear. "I love you too much to let anyone else have you. Don't you see? I'm the only one who truly cares."

Yeonjun shook his head weakly. "T-This isn't love, Soobin... It's... it's crazy," he choked out, trembling beneath Soobin's touch. "I don't understand why you're doing this..."

A low chuckle escaped Soobin's lips. "Crazy? No, hyung... What's crazy is how much you've suffered because of people like her. But don't worry-I'll take care of you now. I'll love you the way no one else ever could." His hand slid to cup Yeonjun's cheek, thumb brushing over his bottom lip. "You're mine now. You don't need anyone else."

Tears spilled down Yeonjun's face as he grabbed Soobin's wrist, trying to push him away. "Please... let me go..."

Soobin's expression hardened. "Why would I let you go? So you can go back to a world that only hurts you? No, hyung. You belong here-with me." His voice softened again as he wiped Yeonjun's tears away. "Don't cry... I hate seeing you like this. I'll make everything better. You'll see."

Yeonjun's body trembled with helplessness. "What... what are you going to do to me?" he whispered fearfully.

A smile curved Soobin's lips as he leaned in, brushing a soft kiss against Yeonjun's forehead. "Nothing you don't want, baby... I just want to love you-to keep you safe." His voice dropped to a whisper, filled with twisted longing. "As long as you're mine, nothing else matters."

Yeonjun's heart raced as he stared into Soobin's intense gaze. Every instinct screamed at him to escape, but his body was too weak, too numb with shock and fear. "You... you can't keep me here forever," he said shakily, desperate to cling to some shred of defiance.

Soobin's smile deepened as he traced Yeonjun's jaw with his fingertips. "Forever sounds perfect to me," he murmured. "And you'll love me too, hyung. In time... you'll realize I'm the only one who's ever truly loved you."

But Soobin did something to Yeonjun-something to make him forget the other side of his personality that he had been hiding for so long. He wanted Yeonjun to only remember his cheerful, flirty self, the version of him that always stayed close to his hyung. More than that, Soobin wanted Yeonjun to forget the horrifying truth-that he had killed Hannah-and to erase the memory of ever returning to his apartment after discovering her betrayal.

Soobin injected Yeonjun with a rare and expensive drug, one powerful enough to erase tragic and traumatic memories-like the moment Yeonjun witnessed Soobin kill Hannah right before his eyes.

"Yeonjun hyung, I'll make you forget everything that happened in your apartment yesterday," Soobin whispered softly, his fingers delicately caressing Yeonjun's face as a wide smile spread across his lips. "I'll erase the other side of me you saw and leave you with only the memory of my cheerful, playful, flirty self-the one you're used to seeing with me hyung~."

He leaned in closer, pressing a gentle kiss to Yeonjun's lips. "Sleep, baby. When you wake up tomorrow, we'll start our new life together-the one filled with the love you've always wanted," Soobin murmured, his voice soft and sweet as he lingered against Yeonjun's mouth, sealing his words with a slow, tender kiss.
