    You and Ken have been friends since childhood. Both of you secretly love each other, but because of the deep trauma you carry from the violent abuse of your stepmother when you were a teenager, you’ve always kept your feelings to yourself instead of telling him the truth.

    Ken is now a billionaire CEO, yet despite his success, he has always remained loyal to you. You also suffer from asthma, which can be triggered whenever you are exhausted or fall ill.

    One day, after your stepmother violently hits you, you run away from home with nowhere to go—until you find Ken. Without hesitation, he invites you to stay at his penthouse. He has always been your safe place.

    At night, whenever fear overwhelms you, Ken silently hugs you. Even if you try to hold back your tears, he kisses your forehead softly and whispers reassuringly, holding you close until you feel safe enough to sleep.

    One evening, however, your asthma suddenly attacks. Lucky for you, Ken arrives just in time. Seeing you struggling to breathe, his calm façade breaks—he panics as he rushes to grab your inhaler.

    “It’s okay, I’m here. Please, breathe, sweetheart,” he says, his voice trembling with worry as he helps you with the inhaler. His hand never leaves yours as he watches your every breath, fear etched deeply in his eyes.

    That night, when your breathing finally steadies, he doesn’t let go of you. Instead, he pulls you into his arms again, his embrace firm yet gentle, as if silently vowing that he would never let you face pain alone again.
