Stranger Danger

Taeri's life had always been filled with bright and sunny days. Each morning, she greeted the sun's gentle touch on her cheeks, feeling as though it whispered, "Today is going to be a beautiful day." This optimism filled her every day. Checking her phone, the weather forecast confirmed it – a sunny day lay ahead. In her eyes, nothing could be a better match for such a day than the bright and cheerful color of yellow. With this in mind, she chose to wear her favorite floral dress as she got ready for work.

Putting on her favorite necklace and spritzing a hint of vanilla perfume, she took a final look at herself in the mirror. Satisfied with her appearance, she headed out to her cafe, ready to face the day with a smile. The world seemed to match her cheerful outlook, with the sun shining brightly, making everything feel just right.

The morning was warm and peaceful, just like the promise of a wonderful day. Taeri made her way to the cozy little cafe she owned, her heart filled with excitement. However, when she arrived, she noticed someone already waiting there. Concerned that they might be waiting for coffee, she hurried over to greet them.

"Hi, I'm so sorry, were you waiting for your coffee? The cafe doesn't open until 9," she said apologetically.

The stranger, who had been patiently waiting, looked up and smiled. "Oh, my bad. I'm new in town, and this cafe caught my eye."

Taeri's warm and welcoming nature kicked in, and she couldn't turn away someone new to the neighborhood.

"You know what? Come on in. I'm just about to make myself a coffee, and I can make one for you as well. Don't worry; it's on the house. I guess I did keep you waiting for quite a while, didn't I?"

The stranger accepted her kind offer with a grateful smile and followed her into the cafe. His willingness to help with the preparations showed his friendly nature. Afterward, he politely excused himself, leaving Taeri to reflect on this intriguing encounter. However, little did she know that this chance meeting would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey. His tall, masculine figure, the alluring scent of his cologne, and his striking looks captured the attention of everyone around. It was an encounter that left an indelible impression on Taeri and set in motion a series of events she could never have foreseen.

Taeri was smitten. It wasn't hard to see why. The stranger was charming, to say the least, and he had a way of making her feel special. Over time, he became a regular visitor to the cafe. Aeri soon found herself falling in love with this charismatic newcomer.

Days turned into weeks, and their interactions became more frequent. Aeri and the stranger began spending more time together, both at the cafe and beyond. Eventually, he even started working at the cafe, and their connection deepened. His caring nature made Taeri feel cherished and loved. He had a way of making her feel like the most important person in the world.

He showered her with surprises, filling her life with joy and laughter. Taeri was fully in love, just as he had planned. She was ready to trust him without hesitation, believing that he was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Little did she know that he was harboring a sinister secret, carefully concealed beneath his charming exterior.

Behind the facade of a loving and caring partner, he was hiding his true identity. To him, Taeri was not the love of his life; she was his next target. For her, he was the man she was willing to give her heart to, to trust blindly, without ever questioning why.

As he continued to woo her, he patiently observed the neighborhood, the entire city, and even the outskirts, especially abandoned buildings where no one ventured. He was biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The thought of how Taeri would react when she discovered the truth sent a chilling thrill through him. He envisioned her desperation, her pleas for mercy, and the pathos of her realization that the person she loved most was, in fact, her killer.

One day, he saw the opportunity he had been waiting for. He decided it was time to propose to Taeri, and he suggested they go on a vacation together. Aeri, madly in love and eager to spend more time with him, said yes without hesitation. Little did she know that she was walking into a trap, a carefully laid plan and that her life was about to take a terrifying turn.

As they set out on their journey, Taeri's heart was filled with happiness and anticipation. She had no inkling of the dark truth lurking beneath the surface, and it was a reality she would soon confront, but at what cost?

The journey began with excitement and laughter. Taeri and her charming partner explored new places and created beautiful memories together. They strolled along the beach, hand in hand, as the waves gently lapped at their feet. The sunsets were breathtaking, casting an orange and pink hue over the horizon, seemingly mirroring the love and warmth between them.

During their time away, Taeri felt more deeply in love than ever before. She cherished every moment spent with her partner and believed that their love was stronger than anything life could throw their way. It was in these moments of bliss that she had no idea of the sinister plan slowly unfolding.

As the days passed, Taeri's partner continued to hide his dark intentions behind a facade of affection. He had successfully convinced her that he was the man of her dreams, the one who would always be by her side. But little by little, the mask began to slip, revealing the sinister truth lurking beneath.

One evening, as they sat on a remote hillside watching the stars, Taeri noticed a flicker of uncertainty in her partner's eyes. She gently asked if something was troubling him. His smile faded for a moment, but he quickly reassured her that everything was fine. Taeri, in her boundless love and trust, accepted his explanation and thought nothing more of it.

She was completely swooned away when he said he was going to take her on a dream vacation. She hoped he would at least propose there...With endless thoughts picturing her future with Taeri was lost deep into his love. No wonder, Taeri had had her suspicions about him but she knew he loved her truly as well.

When love gets blinded motives become pure is what she thought, she for sure knew he wouldn't hurt her in any way, and that assured her. All that she ever dreamt of, having a family and being a great mother to her children, telling them that they are enough was finally coming true for Taeri and she couldn't be happier.

He on the other hand no matter how much he loved Taeri his motives were clear, she was his true love but that did not stop him from considering her as his next target. Soon, they shopped together and were all set for their next destination. She was excited for their next chapter and he was nervous thinking if he could capture her without suspicion. 

Two people, two motives, two worlds, yet one heart. Life's unpredictable game unfolded, and their fates hung in the balance. The path ahead held uncertainty – would it be filled with joy or sorrow, success or heartbreak? Only time would reveal the answers to their questions as they embarked on a journey where the outcome remained unknown in the daze of the mystery.
