The reason why he, who had gone mad, was choked by the alluring Dongbaek.
Subtitle: Extremely Selfish

By Melicia°



Dongbaek is desperate for love, and begins to crave affection, claiming that she is a beautiful rose.


You love me, don't you? You love me. I'm a rose! I'm more beautiful than a camellia, why don't you see me?


"Stop it. It's getting too much. I loved camellias. Those beautiful, winter-blooming camellias." JM


Roses are more beautiful? Lies. A pitiful camellia, lost in her true colors, intoxicated by delusion. She's a rose. If you ask her why she forgot your uniqueness, would she believe you if you told her it was because the one she loved was more beautiful? If you told her that it wasn't love, would she believe it? Or would she even try to believe it?


"No matter how beautifully it blooms in the greenhouse, it's not the weak and feeble rose I loved, not the rose that gives me thorns. Stop it, I'm tired too." JM


He asked her if she would love him if she went back in time and became Dongbaek again. The answer he got back was a firm one. That there was absolutely no way that could happen. He gave Dongbaek a cold gaze as she rebuked him for being cruel, and hinted a faint sarcasm at her by saying that no one was more selfish than him.

You should've given me a chance. I'm beautiful, but you're even more beautiful. At least you shouldn't have changed. You didn't love me. You were dazzled by my moment. You never loved me for even a single moment.


"I loved you. However, the amount of love was determined by each person's perception. The standards were different." JM


Dongbaek began to inch closer to him. As the familiar, smoky scent overwhelmed her, she began to approach him even more viciously.

See, this is it. I wasn't called Dongbaek because you loved me because I was beautiful. I was just drunk. I was bewitched. That's why I decided to become a rose, but you mercilessly trampled even that.



Dongbaek willingly ignored him, who desperately pleaded with her not to go, and turned around to walk away. For the first time, she wished there was no winter. She wished she could be a pretty spring flower, rather than a lonely, beautifully blooming Dongbaek. Even if she was fragile, she wanted to be a pretty spring flower. She bit her lip until it bled, saying that for the first time, she hated being the only one.

The beautiful Dongbaek's love was always tainted by dull illusions. Because of this, Dongbaek had to endure that terribly selfish love. Always.


They say that camellia flowers fall off in a heap when they wither. It's probably not just the tops that are covered in snow. Aren't you curious?
