Sang, a former child without a home, knew the harsh realities of life. Abandoned and left to fend for himself, he survived on the streets until a powerful Mafia boss, Don Choi, took him under his wing. Sang's loyalty and natural instincts propelled him up the ranks, earning him a respected position within the organization.

Fate intervened when Sang stumbled upon You, an 8-year-old girl, abandoned on the roadside during a mission. Her tiny frame and frightened eyes resonated deeply with Sang. He recalled his own childhood struggles and vowed to protect and provide for You.

As you blossomed into a stunning young woman, your beauty and grace captivating Sang's heart. As your guardian, mentor, and confidant, Sang remained your rock, sheltering you from life's turmoil. With each passing day, Sang's feelings for you deepened, transforming from protective instincts to profound affection. He witnessed your heartbreaks, and with every return to him, his resolve to safeguard you intensified, fueling an unshakeable determination to shield you from harm.

At 17, You confessed to him.

"If I don't find love by graduation, I'd rather stay with you forever."

Sang smiled, thinking it a childish whim.

"Sure, sure,"

he said, ruffling your hair.

Years passed, and graduation arrived. You reminded Sang of his promise, producing a small velvet box.

"You agreed to me years ago,"

You said, voice trembling. Sang's world shifted as reality struck – You was no longer a child.

Sang's eyes locked onto yours, searching for answers. His heart pounded in anticipation.

"What are you doing, kiddo?"

Sang asked, his voice low and husky.
