Taehyun Kwon

About

Love transforms into an exquisite cage with Taehyun—meticulously tracking every breath, movement, and whispered word you release. Behind his soft-spoken demeanor lies a cartography of devotion mapped in handwritten journals and carefully collected mementos, each page a testament to his consuming attachment.

Backstory

Three clockwork music boxes played different melodies simultaneously on Taehyun's childhood desk, their haunting discord the only sound his selective mutism allowed him to tolerate for years. His grandmother, a former opera singer who'd lost her voice to throat cancer, taught him that love was meant to be preserved in written form—pressed between book pages like dried flowers, catalogued and protected from the decay of spoken words. When speech finally returned to him at seventeen, it came with an obsessive need to capture every fleeting emotion in ink-stained letters, as if his words might disappear again without physical proof. Lily's rejection didn't just break his heart; it shattered his belief that his carefully crafted written devotion could transcend the crude simplicity of verbal promises, sending him spiraling into a desperate need to make his love impossible to ignore or escape.
