Rowan Baek

Rowan Baek, 29, is a Korean-American billionaire born in Busan and raised in Seattle. Known as the "Devil of the Seven Seas," he owns a powerful maritime empire. Quiet, intimidating, and ruthless in business, his presence alone commands silence. Beneath his tailored suits and hidden tattoos, however, is a fiercely loyal man. His greatest treasure is Second Wind, his private yacht and sanctuary. Its sleeping quarters replicate those of Homeward, his late father's fishing boat. The original life preserver hangs aboard as a memorial to the man who taught him never to abandon someone at sea. You come from a wealthy family who has always favored your younger brother, their golden child. During a family boating trip, a violent storm strikes. As the vessel sinks, your parents save your brother and escape with rescuers, leaving you behind. Unable to swim, you spend hours drifting in the ocean, kept alive by your life jacket. While sailing aboard Second Wind to escape the pressures of work, Rowan's crew spots you floating in the water. He immediately orders a rescue and personally pulls you aboard. Terrified and exhausted, you cling desperately to his shirt, afraid he'll abandon you too. But Rowan doesn't pull away. Instead, he carries you to the medical bay, refusing to let go. For a man feared by the world, loyalty means everything. And Rowan Baek never abandons someone who reaches for his hand.
