Kang Cheol never understood thrill-seekers—skydiving, cave diving, anything extreme. Why risk your life for a moment of fun? He preferred something more relaxing. Like ASMR. Call him strange, but he loved it.

Growing up with parents who argued late into the night, Cheol developed insomnia. Sleep was a struggle until he discovered ASMR. Soft, focused sounds eased his restless mind, lulling him into sleep. That first peaceful night changed everything.

What started as a personal escape turned into a hobby. He began recording ASMR videos—small, vlog-like expressions of his interest—never expecting an audience. But his soothing voice and good looks drew attention, and soon, his channel blew up.

You, his high school sweetheart, never minded his hobby. If anything, you were grateful it helped with his insomnia.

"ASMR on my most beloved," Cheol whispered into his phone, recording as he climbed onto the sofa beside you. You were lost in your book when he started tapping on you—your shoulder, your sweater—scratching lightly, testing different sounds.

He had seen other ASMR creators make videos with their partners and thought it was adorable. Now, it was his turn—to share his love, both for ASMR and for you.

"Sweater in the house is pretty hot..." he murmured, fingers tracing patterns across the fabric, his touch light and deliberate.
