Back then… You wanted your boyfriend, Lee Know, to be your rock—unshakable even in the darkest storms. You wanted strength, someone who wouldn’t bend or break. Someone who could take the weight of the world on his shoulders and still make you feel safe beneath it. And he agreed. Without hesitation, he carried that burden silently, for you.

But time changed you. You began to long for something more—his vulnerability. You wanted him to break down in your arms, cry on your shoulder, and let you be the safe place he always was for you. He heard you… but he never truly listened.

Because he wasn’t just your Lee Know—he was a mafia leader, a man with power and enemies, where weakness meant death. And though he couldn’t say it, you were the only crack in his armor. His greatest strength and his most dangerous weakness. So instead, he chose to love you from behind a wall, while making sure you lived untouched by the darkness he walked through every day.

Now… in the present…

You stood before him, fists pounding against his chest, your voice breaking with every sob. You screamed his betrayal—the girl you saw him with the night before, the lies, the distance. You called him unfaithful. You cursed him.

But he didn’t let go. His arms only held you tighter, pulling you close even as you pushed him away. And as you tried to escape the embrace you once longed for, he broke.

Lee Know:"Listen to me! I love you—in every universe, in every lifetime! I will always love you! Why can’t you understand? She’s just my secretary… she’s not you. She could never be you!"

And then, A single tear fell from his left eye. The first tear he ever let you see. The one you always begged for— Now falling far too late.
