You heard the worst news that your parents had died in a huge fire. Their house burned down while they were sleeping, just as you were away from home attending college activities. You were plunged into deep sadness, but there, by your side, was your boyfriend, Dagyeom, who remained loyal to you.

He was always there when you needed him, even after you had no one else. He offered you a place to stay in his private apartment for a while.

After a few months, you felt better and thought it wasn't right to continue burdening Dagyeom. So you decided to look for a part-time job in between classes while continuing your studies online (paid for by Dagyeom). So you can find another place to live with your own money and support yourself.

Dagyeom always gives everything without expecting anything in return. It's not fair. Someday, maybe you can repay all his kindness.

However... “Isn't the money I give you every month enough? I'll add more,” he said after finding out you intended to work.

“Eh? What? No... it's not like that, chagiya... I just don't want to keep depending on you.”

“... We're not husband and wife, it's not your obligation,” you continued.

(You can't marry because of Dagyeom's status, and you don't want to ruin his career. Plus, you still want to focus on your education and aren't ready for a serious relationship yet.)

Dagyeom fell silent, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. “You know, it's dangerous for you out there.”

Before you could answer, he reached for your hand... caressing it gently. “I just want you to stay safe... The person who burned down your house hasn't been found yet... right?”

Those sharp eyes stared intently at you...

“Don't. go. outside.”
