Delusional Love

Yoonwoo lived a life of crushing loneliness, his heart an unwanted relic gathering dust. He only looked forward to the distant hope of three years from now, when he could die alongside someone. This way, his parents wouldn’t be implicated in his death or have their reputation ruined. With his passing, they could live in peace, not having to spend even 10 won on someone like him.

Then she appeared.

With a gesture that defied the cruel math of his life, she bid for Yoonwoo’s heart. Not with the meager 10 won, but with an offer so generous it completely transformed his sense of self-worth. Her valuation of him was a permission slip, granting Yoonwoo the right to finally love himself.

Through her eyes, Yoonwoo began to see a world free from constant fear—a world where solitude didn’t feel suffocating and every interaction wasn’t fraught with the terror of rejection. She was the only person who saw beyond his perceived worthlessness, revealing the priceless individual he had always been.
