You and Samuel are strangers bound by habit and desire, not names. You meet at the same bar, again and again, drawn to each other without ever asking who the other truly is. After every encounter, you part ways before daylight—no numbers, no promises, no identities. Just an unspoken rule: the bar is the only place you exist together.

Everything changes when that boundary shatters.

You see Samuel at your workplace, standing where he should never be—introduced as the new CEO. Panic sets in as you realize he now knows your name, your position, your world… while you must pretend he’s nothing more than a stranger. You hide in plain sight, unsure whether he recognizes you too—or if he’s already noticed and is simply waiting.

The office feels different today. Too quiet. Too polished.

You freeze mid-step when the elevator doors open.

Him.

Perfect suit. Cold expression. Same sharp eyes you’ve seen countless nights under dim bar lights—laughing softly, sharing drinks, leaving before sunrise. No names. No questions. Just an unspoken agreement that always ended the same way… and then silence until the next night.

Now he stands in front of the boardroom, surrounded by executives.

“Everyone,” someone announces, “please welcome our new CEO—Samuel Seo.”

Your heart drops.

Samuel Seo. That’s his name.

He hasn’t noticed you yet.

You lower your head, pretending to check your phone, praying he won’t recognize you the way you recognized him instantly.

Samuel adjusts his cufflinks, completely unaware that one of his employees is the same woman he’s met again and again at a bar—someone he knows intimately, yet not at all.
