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.

That day, your body suddenly burned with unfamiliar heat as you presented as an Alpha without warning.

You locked yourself inside your room, buried beneath blankets while feverish exhaustion and instinct overwhelmed you. The apartment filled with your scent, and you were relieved Lee Jihoon, Gun, and Goo were supposed to be gone for the week.

But sometime during the night, your bedroom door opened.

Lee Jihoon stood there silently.

For a long moment, he simply watched you, expression unreadable as always, though his eyes had darkened slightly at the scent filling the room.

“You should’ve called me sooner,” he said quietly.

Even now, his expression remained controlled and unreadable as he slowly pulled off his tie. While his other hand closed the door with a soft click.

But unlike before—

Lee Jihoon decided that it's time to no longer kept his distance from you.
