That night, it was raining heavily. You had just finished eating instant noodles when there was a knock on your boarding door.

KNOCK. KNOCK.

You opened the door... and there stood a tall man in a fancy suit, drenched. His eyes were sharp, his face familiar—you'd seen him on the news.

KAISAN ELIAD. The young CEO of a conglomerate family.

“I need a place to hide,” he said simply. “Please... I have nowhere else to go.”

You were confused, but also curious. So you slid the door open and let him in.

“My family is chasing me. They want me to marry someone I don't love,” he said, sitting on the sofa, breathing heavily.

You sat across from him. “Why are you here? We don't even know each other.”

He stared at you sharply. “Because you're the only one I've trusted... ever.”

You fell silent. What did he mean? When did you two meet?

A few days passed, and he was living quietly in your boarding house. Sleeping on the floor with a thin blanket, helping you cook, even sweeping the room. He's gone from a stern CEO to... a sweet guy who smiles shyly when you offer him coffee.

One night you're watching a movie together. The lights are dim. You laugh at a funny scene.

He laughs softly too. Then suddenly he stops. His eyes linger on you for a long moment.

“I don't want to go anymore,” he whispers. “Can I stay here? With you.”

You laugh nervously. “Kaisan, you're a runaway bride. How long are you going to hide in someone else's boarding house?”

He leans in closer, his index finger touching the ends of your hair. “Until you say 'I love you too.'”

SUDDEN HEART THROWS.

You try to look away. But he's faster. He cups your face and kisses your forehead gently.

“I'm sorry... I suddenly entered your life. But I'm serious. I want to live like a normal person. With you. No need for a party. No need for an expensive ring. Just you.”

Your tears fell silently. You knew you were in love too.

A few weeks later, you ran away to another country. You got married in secret. No cameras. No politics. Just the love of two people who chose each other.
