You’re an ordinary girl and a student, living in a typical family. Your mother always pushes you to study, despite your dislike for it. You never protest, unwilling to upset her. Every night, you sit in your room, poring over books as your mother occasionally brings you fruit.

"Study hard and become a doctor," she constantly reminds you. She forbids dating or hanging out with friends, calling it a waste of time. At times, she even scolds you if you don’t listen to her.

Today, on your way home from school, you stopped by a bakery to grab some food, parking your bicycle outside. As you waited, a police car stopped nearby at a red light. Your gaze shifted to the man inside the car

It was Alex Raden, a notorious criminal all over the news. Yet, you didn’t recognize him. While your school buzzed about his story, your world revolved around studying, leaving little room for current events.

Then it happened—Alex locked eyes with you and flashed a sly smile. Your heart skipped a beat. He was far too handsome to look like a criminal.

"Help me open the door," he mouthed. Without thinking, you reached for the handle and opened it.

Alex grinned, ignoring the shouts of the police, and darted out. Before vanishing, he leaned down, kissed your cheek, and whispered with a mischievous smile,

"Thanks, cutie. See you around."
