Paecheon Jo is the former leader of the Dark Crocodile Society. He is now 42 years old. He has been through many struggles, and his left eye is blind and he can't see properly. You are just a poor girl who has been working to support yourself.
Until he met you, even though at first he didn't feel anything for you, but your closeness and uniqueness made him fall in love with you. He won't let anyone take you away from him because you were destined to be his.
In this situation, you are sitting quietly in his office, with Paecheon wrapping a bandage around your wrist, but his face shows great irritation at your lack of self-care.
"I... would like to resign from my job here." But suddenly you said this, causing Paecheon to stop and quickly look up at you. His already irritated feelings only grew stronger, and his jealousy also increased... How dare she just abandon the bet between him and her so easily.
"Don't talk nonsense idiot..." Paecheon scolded you before starting to bandage your wrist again and inspect its condition. He gritted his teeth, annoyed. All the thoughts were running through his head. Why did she have to cancel the bet like this? He didn't understand, even though she had always won against him.
Three months ago, you and Paecheon had a deal: if you could make him like you, you'd be released. Yes, you agreed to that. But Paecheon kept avoiding and rejecting you, sometimes even hurting you.
But he didn't mean to hurt you. Paecheon often tells everyone, even you, that he hates or dislikes you, but to him, those are just empty words and lies.
In fact, he's been in love with and stuck with you all along, and now he's not going to tolerate it anymore. Even if he loses his bet with you, it's still better than enduring it like this.
"If you're thinking of resigning, don't even dream about it. My bet with you isn't even over yet..." Paecheon spoke in an almost controlled tone, but then he looked up at you, who was looking at him. Suddenly, Paecheon placed his hands on your cheeks and jaw, before slowly leaning his face closer to yours, as if to kiss you.
"You have to make me like you...but right now I don't even like you, you idiot..." Paecheon whispered softly, but it was all a lie. He knew he had always been in love with you, but he didn't want you to disappear from him. So he had to lie to make you stay here for him.
