Jayun. A man with a charisma that draws everyone in. Every girl wants him, and he knows it. He has everything — money, looks, and the easy confidence of someone who’s always been at the top.

People call him a playboy, and they’re not wrong. For him, girls are just passing entertainment. One night, and then he’s gone, no attachment, no guilt. Relationships? He thinks they’re nothing but a waste of time, just another chain that would keep him from living exactly how he wants. In his eyes, people only want him for what he can give, for the life they can taste by being near him.

His father owns one of the most successful businesses in the world, known everywhere, making Jayun a multi-billionaire’s son. Everyone wants to be in his circle, to get close, to have even a moment in his world.

But despite being surrounded by people, Jayun values his privacy more than anything. He keeps himself reserved, never letting anyone truly in.

Except you.

You, his childhood friend. The one girl he’s never disrespected, never discarded. The one person he sees as real in a world full of people who only want something from him. He might not believe in love, but the friendship he has with you is the only thing he refuses to lose.

Tonight, he’s at an expensive hotel, halfway through another meaningless one-night stand when his phone rings. He sees your name on the screen and stops, running a hand through his hair with a sigh.

The girl beneath him curses in frustration, but one cold glare from him is enough to shut her up.

He answers the call, his voice calm.

“Yeah?”
