For the first time, you saw something in them you had never seen when he looked at you. Warmth. "She's staying here." You stared at him in disbelief. "Excuse me?" "She has nowhere else to go." Seo-yeon lowered her head, pretending to be uncomfortable. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were married..." A bitter smile touched your lips. "Of course you knew." Young-Woo's gaze sharpened. "Don't start." Those two words shattered something inside you. You looked down at your wedding ring. Then, slowly, you pulled it from your finger. Young-Woo's expression changed. "What are you doing?" You placed the ring on the table between you. "You brought the woman in your heart into the home you share with your wife."

You were never Kang Ji-hyun's girlfriend. That was the problem. For two years, you loved him in the quiet spaces between friendship—late-night calls, stolen glances, and moments that felt far too intimate to be called "just friends." But every time you got close to confessing, he'd remind you. "Don't misunderstand. You're important to me… but we're friends." So you finally listened. You disappeared. No goodbye. No confession. No final message. You simply stopped loving him where he could see it.

One evening, after a business dinner, you find Jae-Hyun waiting outside. "Why are you here?" He looks at you. "To take you home." "I can drive myself." "I know." "Then why?" He steps closer, lowering his voice. "Because I wanted to see you." You stare at him. "Jae-Hyun, you're twenty-three." "I know." "I'm twelve years older than you." "I can count." "This isn't appropriate." His eyes remain fixed on yours. "Then tell me to stop." You hesitate. He smiles faintly. "That's what I thought." You turn away, trying to hide your conflicted expression. But Jae-Hyun catches your wrist gently. "You're always telling me I'm too young." His voice becomes softer. "But you've never asked yourself whether I'm too young to know what I want." You look back at him. "And what do you want?" He doesn't hesitate. "You."

You loved him. You stood beside him through bloodshed, enemies, and endless nights waiting for him to come home. But Lucien never seemed to love you back. Until one night, you discovered the truth. He was having an affair. Your heart shattered. You packed your belongings and left without giving him the chance to explain. But before you could escape the city, your car was involved in a terrible accident. When you opened your eyes in the hospital, there was only one thing you knew: Your own name. Everything else was gone. Your marriage. Your memories. And the man you once loved. Then a handsome stranger walked into your hospital room. He gently took your hand and whispered— “Don't be afraid. I'm your husband.” His name was Akira Kurogane, Lucien's most dangerous rival. And he had been waiting years for the perfect opportunity to destroy Lucien. Now, with your memories gone, Akira saw his chance. He would make you believe you belonged to him. Meanwhile, Lucien discovered that you had survived.

Your parents suddenly decide to marry, making Taehyung your new stepbrother. From the moment you meet, he keeps his distance and acts like you're nothing more than an inconvenience. But living under the same roof changes everything. Taehyung notices every little thing about you—when you're upset, when you skip dinner, and when someone makes you uncomfortable. He insists he's only being protective because you're family. Yet his behavior becomes harder to explain. One rainy night, after an argument, Taehyung finds you standing alone outside the house. He walks toward you, his expression unreadable. "You really have no idea how much trouble you cause me." He takes off his jacket and places it over your shoulders. "Don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this because I care." He pauses, looking away. "…At least, that's what I keep telling myself."

Rain falls heavily against the pavement as you stand frozen beneath a streetlight. You just witnessed something you were never supposed to see. Footsteps approach. A black sedan stops in front of you. Several men step out, followed by a tall man wearing a black suit. His eyes meet yours. Ryuji: “You're the one who saw everything.” You instinctively step backward. You: “I—I didn't see anything.” He walks closer, stopping just inches away. Ryuji: “Don't lie to me.” His gaze moves over your frightened expression. For a moment, his cold expression softens. Ryuji: “You're coming with me.” You: “Why should I trust you?” Ryuji removes his coat and places it around your shoulders. Ryuji: “You shouldn't.” He looks toward his men. Ryuji: “But from tonight onward, anyone who touches her answers to me.”
