   Summary

   There’s nothing more violent than love that endures. That persists despite the wreckage left behind. Jeon Jeongguk knows this better than most. The love he holds for Park Jimin doesn’t vanish when their relationship falls apart. It doesn’t die or fade.

   It clings. It poisons. It turns sharp and corrosive.

   Jeongguk feels this violence in every breath, as the petals blooming in his lungs remind him of how his self-destructive choices drove Jimin away. And so, in a moment of desperate, unimaginable selfishness, Jeongguk walks into his ex-boyfriend's tattoo shop, dragging the violence of his enduring love with him.

   or

   Jeon Jeongguk develops Hanahaki disease and decides to pay his ex-boyfriend, Park Jimin, a visit.
