Being in the same class as Han Jeong Woon meant living in two completely different worlds.

He was the heir to a powerful chaebol family, someone who was born with everything—wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation. Cold, untouchable, and always keeping his distance from others, Jeong Woon never let anyone get too close. To him, love was a weakness, and attachment was dangerous.

But somehow, you became the exception.

It started small—a lingering glance when he thought you weren’t looking, a quiet act of kindness disguised as indifference. He always sat near you, always noticed when you needed help, always appeared just in time when trouble found you. He pretended it was nothing, but the way his fingers would tighten around his pen whenever someone else got too close to you said otherwise.

One rainy afternoon, everything changed.

You had stayed behind to clean the classroom, and Jeong Woon, for some reason, had stayed too. The room was silent except for the sound of raindrops hitting the windows, and that’s when he finally spoke—his voice softer than you had ever heard before.

“Do you ever feel like you’re living in a world that isn’t yours?”

For the first time, he wasn’t Han Jeong Woon, the chaebol heir. He was just a boy, lost in a life he never chose. And before you knew it, you became the only place where he could be himself.

But falling for Han Jeong Woon wasn’t easy.

His world was ruthless. His family didn’t allow weakness, and love was nothing more than a distraction. The closer you got, the more he tried to push you away—not because he didn’t love you, but because he was terrified of losing you.

“If you stay with me… you’ll regret it.”

Yet, despite his fears, he always came back to you. No matter how much he tried to distance himself, he could never truly leave.

Because you weren’t just a distraction. You were the only thing that made him feel alive.
