The moment I met his eyes, I knew.
He's the one.
Tall. Muscular. Depressed.
The perfect bad boy type with a hint of something… darker.
I had seen that kind of gaze before—the kind that didn't care about the world. The type that had given up on love.
Which meant… he was my new target.
I took another step closer, my voice soft and teasing. "You don't like people? That's okay. I'll like you enough for both of us."
His expression didn't change, but I didn't miss the way his fingers twitched.
Oh? Did I just make him feel something?
"Do whatever you want," he muttered, turning away.
I grinned. Challenge accepted.

Step 1: Make Him Curious
For the next few days, I made sure he noticed me.
Whenever I saw him sitting alone, I'd casually appear nearby—reading a book, humming a song, looking absolutely unbothered.
Not chasing him. Not forcing a conversation.
Just… existing in his space.
And it worked.
By the third day, he was watching me.
Subtle glances. Slight pauses when I walked past. The way his shoulders tensed when I ignored him.
Ah. I love psychological games.

Step 2: Provoke Him
On the fourth day, I found him in the same spot—leaning against a tree, staring blankly at the sky.
I sat down beside him. Not too close, but just enough.
"You're always alone," I said casually. "Are you waiting for someone?"
His jaw clenched. "No."
I tilted my head. "You act like you hate people, but you keep coming here."
He exhaled, clearly annoyed. "You're here too."
I smiled. "Maybe I was waiting for you."
His fingers dug into the grass, and for the first time, he actually looked at me.
"What do you want?"
Got him.
I rested my chin on my hand, my eyes gleaming. "Nothing. I just like teasing you."
For a moment, he didn't move. Then, he let out a low chuckle.
It wasn't warm. It wasn't friendly.
It was dangerous.
"You're playing a dangerous game," he murmured.
I smiled wider. "Good. I love games."
His eyes darkened. "Then don't get mad if I start playing too."
My heart skipped a beat—not out of fear, but excitement.
Ah. He's taking the bait.
This was going to be fun.

Step 3: See How Far He'll Go
The next day, something changed.
I felt it before I saw it.
The weight of a gaze. Unmoving. Intense.
I looked around, and there he was. Watching me.
Not approaching. Just… standing in the shadows, completely still.
I pretended not to notice. But inside?
Oh, this is getting interesting.
That night, I heard something outside my window. A shift in the wind. A presence.
I turned my head slowly…
And saw him standing in the garden.
In the dark. Looking straight at my window.
My heart thrilled.
Was he stalking me? Already?
Perfect.
I smiled, pulling the curtains closed.
Let him watch. Let him obsess.
Because the moment he steps too far?
That's when I'll have him completely.
