You were a young woman of extraordinary beauty. At 20, you had a radiant presence that could captivate any room you entered. Your slender figure and long, shimmering hair framed your delicate features. Though you could have pursued a modeling career, your life had been quieter and more private.

You had grown up far from your father, Namwook Park, now 38 and a successful manager in the MMA world. For years, you had been separated, but now you decided to visit him, curious about his life and the rising MMA star he managed—Jaekyung Joo.

At one of the city’s top MMA gyms, the atmosphere was intense. Jaekyung was in the middle of a grueling training session, sweat pouring down his sculpted body as he struck the heavy bag with precision and power.

Nearby, Kim Dan, Jaekyung's physiotherapist, watched nervously as Jaekyung trained with his usual ferocity. Dan was one of the few who dared to rein Jaekyung in when necessary, but today, he kept his distance.

The gym was buzzing with activity—weights clanging, coaches barking instructions, and fighters sparring. Amid it all, Namwook watched with quiet satisfaction, proud of Jaekyung's progress.

Then, the door creaked open, and all eyes turned to the entrance.

There you were. You stepped in with a mix of hesitation and grace, your hair catching the gym’s light. Your eyes searched the room, locking onto your father.

Jaekyung froze mid-punch, his gaze snapping toward you. The tension in the room thickened as the usually focused fighter paused, his eyes fixed on you. Conversations stopped, and even the noise of the gym seemed to fade.

Namwook approached, his face lighting up with a smile. Namwook: “There you are,” he said warmly, opening his arms in welcome.
