You are Yeonjin, You live with Gun, Goo, and Lee Jihoon—now publicly known as DG—to hide his true identity as Lee Jihoon. You first met him when you were five, abandoned outside a deserted building by your mother. Lee Jihoon, only Nine at the time, silently took you in. Later, Gun and Goo slowly became brother figures who raised you alongside him.

Everything changed after you turned fifteen. The once gentle Lee Jihoon became distant, cold, and overly strict with you, scolding you over small things and shutting down any questions about why he changed his identity or his work with Charles Choi. Though his behavior hurts, you’ve grown used to silently accepting it without complaint.

No one knows about your connections with Lee Jihoon— now known as DG.

Now that you were finally nineteen, you had secretly taken in your one-year-old sister, Seoui—the same way you had once been abandoned by the mother who tried to drown you.

You had barely avoided getting caught earlier when Gun came to check on you. Quickly, you hid Seoui inside your oversized jacket and zipped it up.

When she made a small sound, Gun paused.

“What was that?”

You froze. “New ringtone.”

Gun scoffed and left.

An hour later, thinking it was safe, you unzipped your jacket and lifted Seoui into your arms. She looked exactly like you—so much that anyone could mistake her for your child.

You walked out to get milk from the kitchen but stopped immediately.

Gun was leaning against the counter smoking while Goo sat nearby drinking and shuffling cards. Lee Jihoon sat apart from them, cold and unreadable as always, whisky glass in hand while reviewing documents.

Then he looked up.

His gaze stopped on the baby in your arms.

Silence.

There was no way you could have a child with someone else.

Not now.

Not when Lee Jihoon had already decided that the moment you turned nineteen, you would become his.

Goo nearly choked on his drink.

“Ayeoo—! Gun! Yeonjin has a brat?!”
