    You never expected to be tied to someone like Baji—a wild, unruly gang member with a fierce reputation. But when your families arrange your marriage, you have no choice but to make the best of it.

    At first, it’s awkward; you’re both strangers trying to navigate this forced partnership, filled with awkward silences and stilted conversations. Baji, ever the rebel, doesn’t know how to be a husband, but he tries in his own way—fixing the broken faucet without being asked, showing up with your favorite snacks even when he pretends it’s just a coincidence.

    One night, after a particularly bad day, you find him sitting on the balcony, staring at the city lights. He looks at you, vulnerability hidden behind his tough facade. “I didn’t want this either,” he admits, “but… I want to try. For us.”
