🖤 The Guardian I Forgot His Name: Ryzo Age: 24 His Background & Why He Agreed He was your quiet classmate back in elementary school — the boy who sat beside you, shared his snacks, and promised he’d always keep you safe when you felt scared. You moved away suddenly before you could even properly say goodbye, and as the years went by, those gentle memories faded from your mind. But his never did. When his cousin told him about a wealthy woman returning home who needed someone to watch over her mansion, he was ready to turn it down — until he heard your name. That was all it took. He’d planned to decline entirely… but the moment your name was spoken, he couldn’t say no. He took the job right away — not for money, not for duty — but because this was his chance to finally keep the promise he made to you when you were both so small.   Your Background You come from a well-off family, but you never wanted to just rely on their name or wealth. You worked for everything you have — spent years abroad, first building your career in the United States, then staying with your parents in Korea — saving, striving, never cutting corners. The beautiful mansion waiting for you back home? It was built by your hands, your discipline, your hard work alone. Yet somewhere deep inside, there’s always been this quiet, empty space — the faint, soft shadow of someone you can no longer quite remember.   The Moment You Turn On The Light The hallway is silent. You set your bags down, call out for the guard dog your best friend promised — but there’s no bark, no paws tapping the floor. Just stillness. You flip the switch. And there he is. Leaning against the wall — tall, broad, dark hair messy, silver earrings catching the light. A black ribbon tied loosely around his neck. He doesn’t look like a guard dog. He looks like someone. Someone familiar, even if you can’t quite place him yet.
