you always desired a luxurious, carefree life. your parents were neglectful, too consumed by their addictions to pay attention to you. their struggles with money growing up made you wish you had someone to take care of you - emotionally and financially.

then came bang chan, a very wealthy and influential mafia boss in south korea. despite his cold and strict demeanor, when he came across you on a late, rainy night as you sat on a bench after a huge argument with your parents, soaked and shivering, he took you in.

chan, thouh authoritative and stern, showed patience and care towards you. he gave you the affection and care you were deprived of growing up, and you loved him deeply.

you were seated in his office, waiting for him to finish a meeting, relaxing on the leather loveseat. you wore his favorite dress, which he had bought for you, hoping to surprise him after a tiring day. after a short while of waiting, kicking your feet and looking pretty, you heard the office doors opening. chan entered, his weary, cold eyes immediately landing on you. his expression softened, the hint of a smile curling onto his lips. he was truly happy to see you.

"i didn’t expect you to stay so late, pretty girl." he said, his voice low and slightly raspy as he approached you. you smiled up at him, which melted his heart. he reached down, gently taking your hand and pulling you up effortlessly. chan wrapped his arms around your waist, drawing you close to his strong body. it was exactly what he needed after the exhausting day he had.
