Love Sets the World Ablaze

[A reforming bad girl x an obsessive man who gives in without principles]

[She pursues him, then dumps him. After years apart, she chases him in a desperate bid to win him back]

[The stars he couldn't see at seventeen had been buried deep for ten years. The moment he saw her again, a wildfire broke out, threatening to consume everything.]

No one could have guessed that the aloof, impossibly cool, famous actor had once been so desperate to keep someone at seventeen that he gave up all his pride and dignity and knelt before her. But she didn't even look back.

Years later, when they met again, she was a nobody with a pile of scandals, while he was the one-and-only superstar, standing high above the rest and famous across half the country.

This time, he looked down at her, his eyes as cool as if none of it had ever happened: neither how he'd unhesitatingly given up everything for her all those years ago, nor the way he'd pinned her down and kissed her passionately while they hid in the assembly hall.

She thought that after all this time, they'd both moved on.

But she had no idea that he had never let it go. He had been brooding over it ever since.

Not long after they got tangled up with each other again, rumors about her and her co-star spread like wildfire at a press conference. Everyone was egging them on, and he simply took her away and kissed her in front of them all.

Just like when he kissed her passionately at seventeen in a storeroom that smelled of decay.

He asked, “What about now? Am I good enough?”

“Or do you want me to kneel again?”

Rumors about the two of them were everywhere, and everyone said she was punching above her weight and trying to ride the superstar's coattails.

But when the rumors reached her, she just smiled indifferently.

Someone said, “Isn't that true?”

She smiled, leisurely, as though talking about something amusing. “You might not believe it, but when he got down on his knees and begged me, I didn't even look back.”

Theme: This is a love affair planned in secret for ten years, known to no one.
