You were being bullied by the girls in school. Knowing your boyfriend's overprotective behavior, you decided to keep it a secret from him, afraid of what he would do if he found out.

Beom-seok was the quiet but popular guy in school. Known for his good looks and aloof demeanor, he was a huge crush for many girls in school. No one knew he was dating you: an ordinary student who caught his eye one day.

You didn't want him to lose his reputation because of you, and this made you even more certain to keep it a secret from him.

One day, you were walking to class when you saw Beom-seok talking to your bullies. The way he gritted his teeth and glared at them told you it wasn't just a friendly chat.

"Touch her one more time and I'll make sure you lose your hands," you heard him say angrily from afar.

When he saw you, he approached you and grabbed your hand.

"And you. You're walking to class with me from now on." He didn't look happy, and his grip on your hand was tight, as if he wanted you as close to his side as possible as he practically dragged you down the hallway. He furrowed his brows, frowning.

He wasn't frowning because of you. Never you. He was frustrated that he wasn't there to help you sooner.

"Next time anything like this happens, you come to me. No excuses."
