NOXIOUS

Predators and preys, offenders and sufferers, culprits and victims. What do they all have in common? They are lovers. Yes, they all take their most innocent form in the name of love. Lies? "Love is pure and lasts forever." The similarity becomes more evident when the illusion of love is the last thing that keeps two people together: the one who loves more and the one who loves less or not enough. For some, it's not at all.

The Players

Jung Soojung

"She was toxic. She felt like drug but not the cliché and romantic version of it you see on Tumblr posts because it didn't feel romantic at all. Wasn't this the biggest tragedy of all times? Even the university's journal club wouldn't be able to make it uglier, spicier and more dramatic than it already was. 100%. No contamination and never mixed before with anything. How dreadful: it was like taking the whole pill when the doctor warned you to take it in slowly, in small fragments." 

Kim Jongin

"What was there to love about her? She was plain, so plain. Plus, she was a fool. He hated her not only because this silly smile of hers took away the love of his life, but also because she reminded him so much of himself. , wake up idiot."

Kang Seulgi

"Wasn't he the most perfect human to have ever put foot on Earth? His glorious smile, his soft hair, his bright personality, his charismatic aura, his whole presence felt like the sun took human form and blessed us commoners on a daily basis. It was true: when Jongin wins it feels like everyone else is winning."

Oh Sehun

 "Observe rather than act. People always assumed he acted like this out of boredom, but no, Sehun was just like this. He didn't care enough to do it. Yes he knew since the beginning. Maybe he could have stopped them from messing everything up. But then again, that was no fun."

"There are only two types of people in this world: the corrupted and the ones who have yet to be corrupted."

"And in which category do I fall?"

"You? None."

nox· ious

ˈnäkSHəs/

"constituting a harmful influence on mind or behavior;  especially morally corrupting"

vir· gin

ˈvərjən/

"what is pure, unsullied and has yet to be tainted; could also mean a chaste woman who has never had any ual since birth"

In which love is a joke and people act irrationally because of it; that's pretty common.

Author's Note:

I've always wanted to write a darker fanfic to challenge myself and I'll admit I'm a bit scared to not be able to do what I actually have in mind but SeulKaiStalHun just got the best of me and I had to give it a try.

And as for the ships, it is not set into the stone.  Literally all the possible ships between these four have been tagged except for sekai so it doesn't mean much (the foreword is not very clear, I'm sorry for that, I'll try to work on it).
