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.

You sat in your room studying like usual.

The penthouse doorbell suddenly rang.

In the living room, Goo paused mid-game and stood to open the door while Gun glanced over lazily. Lee Jihoon remained seated, indifferent as he reviewed files with a whisky glass in hand.

But the moment Goo opened the door, his expression sharpened.

Crystal Choi.

How she found this place immediately became suspicious. Not even Charles Choi officially knew where Lee Jihoon lived unless someone had secretly followed them.

Gun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Across the room, Jihoon finally looked up, already calculating possibilities.

The bigger problem was you.

Crystal and you attended the same school, and everyone in the penthouse had already heard her endless complaints about the “annoying top student” she hated for no reason.

If she ever saw you here—

It would become troublesome.

Completely unaware of the tension, Crystal walked inside and stopped in front of Lee Jihoon with obvious excitement in her eyes.

After all, she liked DG without knowing DG and Lee Jihoon were the same person.

Though Lee Jihoon already knew the reason Charles Choi doesn't trust him and wants to shackle him and Then she said the most ridiculous thing possible.

“DG… Father told me to inform you that he wants us to enter an arranged marriage.”

Silence filled the room.

Gun and Goo said nothing.

Lee Jihoon only looked at her with complete indifference, his expression unreadable as always.
